Well you are right in that it needs to text, but it can glean or convert into text a lot of things, and you are right that it doesn't actually "know" anything, I am speaking to a layperson, so thats the easiest way to understand.. What it is building is vectors and tokens for later lookups..

Not good at a lot of things.. I will fully agree.. However it is very good at doing some things. The problem is where its trying to be applied..

No.. no you don't have to have that. Not in any way shape or form. Saying this entirely misrepresents what a model actually is. Its not a library, nor does it have to have broad depth knowledge about everything. Agents are what picks up when a model doesn't "know" something, and goes and looks it up

Hi.. person who actually has first hand knowledge of how models are trained and created. Mr. Scalzi is right. Models could easily have been trained on non-copyrighted/open-source/public domain information, and it originally was. It just wasnt good.. so they stole it.. mostly.

Their spelling of Papaya ... lol

PolyglotProg @polyglotprog.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Neither of which would help, any explanation is not really sufficient for that amount of loss of life quite frankly, and there is literally nothing that could justify it either, so I think it meets muster as a distinction without a difference.

PolyglotProg @polyglotprog.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

There is no math to do... A population that has literally millions in it... is not, and cannot be vulnerable. An individual can of course, but that doesn't apply to a group of millions.

100

PolyglotProg @polyglotprog.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Definitely not.. I had multiple family members that were lost both fighting in WWII as well as in camps.. But that was then.. and doesn't excuse or explain current action. You are trying to draw some sort of tangent that doesn't exist. You don't get special treatment because of it.

PolyglotProg @polyglotprog.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

The fact that you are more concerned with population growth and not that Israel murdered literally thousands of kids means you have no morals.

000

PolyglotProg @polyglotprog.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Repeating the same straw man again and again, is not exactly a good argument strategy...

100

PolyglotProg @polyglotprog.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

It is not... One, people in prehistory were mostly nomadic, especially in that area. No one group stayed in one place, whether that be in the area we call Israel now, or all of the Arabian peninsula. There are probably 5-6 historically distinct peoples that can rightly claim nativity.

010

PolyglotProg @polyglotprog.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

They literally can't see it... its like they have blinders on...

030

PolyglotProg @polyglotprog.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Nobody is siding with racists, they are siding with a people that is literally being massacred in their homes by a country that was built on their own land less than a century ago.. I absolutely would revere them if they actually were benevolent here.

020

PolyglotProg @polyglotprog.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

I would say Israel in its current state is blasphemy... to literal Jews.

010

PolyglotProg @polyglotprog.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

An indigenous group was already there.. You don't get to come back to a place and ask for your stuff back... Nowhere in life is that true. Also they didn't "ask" it was essentially a legal takeover supplied by the UK.

010

PolyglotProg @polyglotprog.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

They were unjust here, as they are there historically... but most importantly today... BECAUSE WE SHOULD KNOW BETTER. You dont get your stuff back after you leave... or you shouldn't

000

PolyglotProg @polyglotprog.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

What part of the Palestinians are the indigenous group do you not get? Both groups at one time lived there.. then one left.. You don't get to take you ball and go home, then come back and claim the court is yours.

010

PolyglotProg @polyglotprog.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

You do realize how absolutely asinine that statement is right.. Take this.. a foreign group comes into your land, says it is theirs now.. but they will "share"... I don't think any reasonable human from any walk of life goes along with that.

140

PolyglotProg @polyglotprog.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

As the literal inhabitants of the land prior the land being legally annexed underneath them, I'd say they have a pretty good argument against someone coming in and claiming everything is theirs, and then using force to quell unrest. Those are not the acts of someone acting in good faith.. literally

110

PolyglotProg @polyglotprog.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

They are the most supported and protected people on the planet... vulnerable they are not.

110

PolyglotProg @polyglotprog.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Yes.. I agree Israel is doing some heinous stuff that they clearly should historically know better not to repeat.

010

PolyglotProg @polyglotprog.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

No it doesn't, just because a group is smaller does not mean it is more vulnerable. Vulnerability has absolutely nothing to do with how many people there are. To that point there are far smaller groups that are afforded less leeway in their trangressions against other peoples.

PolyglotProg @polyglotprog.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

This is the literal definition of a straw-man argument

120

PolyglotProg @polyglotprog.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

So the country with the state of the art weapons, no ROE, that has leveled almost an entire country and took 40K+ innocent lives is the vulnerable one.... got it.. Man what a weird world you must live in... When the bullied grow up, they become the bullies eh...

110

PolyglotProg @polyglotprog.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

I do have one.. which is why as a human I am more concerned about 40K+ deaths than I am 1000 or so... As any reasonable person would be.

020

PolyglotProg @polyglotprog.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Also you should probably read more about the laws of armed conflict. www.icrc.org/sites/defaul...

000

PolyglotProg @polyglotprog.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Verifiable military targets are always on the table. So that is a false equivalency, I am however not talking about those. Hospitals, schools, residential blocks are literally mentioned in black and white as not valid military targets, much in the same way that the Red Cross/Crescent is.

000

PolyglotProg @polyglotprog.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Yeah that doesn't even come close to meeting the legal requirements.. Telling people they have to leave their home is literally an infraction itself. One of the other terms is that it must be limited in scope, and like you said limit civilian loss of life... Which is something they have not.

000

PolyglotProg @polyglotprog.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Its ok... they apparently don't have mirrors...

020

PolyglotProg @polyglotprog.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

In addition to that, systematically displacing civilians is a crime in and of itself.

010

PolyglotProg @polyglotprog.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

At this point it has to be a combination of confirmation bias and groupthink, combined with a bit of cognitive dissonance. Its uncanny... Anyone without a "Dog in the fight" so to speak, can see that.

020

PolyglotProg @polyglotprog.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Oh I absolutely believe that. However, that does not, and has not ever meant you level a city to find them. Thats pretty much a no-go for any legal conflict, you cannot involve civilians either directly or in any significantly collateral way.

210

PolyglotProg @polyglotprog.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

They ARE the indigenous people though.

020

PolyglotProg @polyglotprog.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Then remove Hamas... I am all for that.. but that isn't what is happening, they are instead leveling everything and everyone.. Against pretty much every rule of armed conflict.

100

PolyglotProg @polyglotprog.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

If such is true, then it is a uniformed conflict.. i.e. civilians should be spared at all cost. I would disagree about "reacting" though. a 40-1 ratio is not "reacting" it is a literal massacre.

010

PolyglotProg @polyglotprog.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Explain to me how a group, whether you'd like to group them as a country or as a people, would be vulnerable. To me, the only actually vulnerable people are the ones that are innocent have been displaced, and are under constant threat of death for actions that were not their own nor condoned by them

120

PolyglotProg @polyglotprog.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

There are substantially less of them, however I am again not sure why that should matter in the least. Grouping "Arabs" together homogeneously is about the most asinine thing one could do. Are all white people the same too? The point is "never again" should apply to themselves as well.

130

PolyglotProg @polyglotprog.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

No I'd agree that those are also false equivalencies.. The point is that if literally any group should know better.. It should be them. To your other comments about not blaming the whole group, the same is true. Bad actors took lives, so someone decided 40X more, and mostly innocent should die.

110

PolyglotProg @polyglotprog.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Because you are referencing one vulnerable group (which in the current era isn't very vulnerable), whilst the same vulnerable group bullies another.

290

PolyglotProg @polyglotprog.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

...... The irony of this comment is literally palpable.

PolyglotProg @polyglotprog.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

I prefer "broken", as I have always heard it, but that could be an age thing.

PolyglotProg @polyglotprog.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

My company feeds literally over half the cattle in the US. Ranchers are absolutely livid over Trump.. It's uncanny, when i came into this industry.. they used to fawn over him.

000

PolyglotProg @polyglotprog.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Any programmer would recognize these statements could both be true, and not what they are inferred in meaning, merely a sorting and labeling error. Neither of his statements are inherently positive, they just lack context and labels.

000

PolyglotProg @polyglotprog.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

This did not age well.... I mean we could have told you it wouldn't...

000

PolyglotProg @polyglotprog.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Any chance showing location or including that with their report, because it definitely wasn't the case here. But there could be something different about the implementation. However its hard to beat innate human behavior when there is no immediate consequence.

100

PolyglotProg @polyglotprog.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

I'd have to compile some NHTSA and state level metrics and give some links but its all pretty readily available. It also comports with human behavior. Since its deferred punishment, it doesn't really work. That on top of privacy and enforcement concerns is why they were canned specifically in DEN.

110

PolyglotProg @polyglotprog.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

uh... no.. A system which observes and cannot interdict is not saving any lives functional or not. Speed cameras do not statistically effect the amount of speeders.. Thats why most municipalities gave up on them. While loss of life is always unfortunate, a camera would not have helped.

110

PolyglotProg @polyglotprog.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

I don't think it ever is a "recording" I think it is streamed and tokenized in one pass.. so there is data sure.. but not something any human or other system could ever understand, likely not even another of the same chip, as it is likely SALTed.
