You missed a word after Doctor there and i'm exhibiting incredible self-control by not making the obvious joke.

Seeing people nonchalantly post stuff like makes me feel like I'm going crazy honestly.

A post from an academic on blue sky that says: "I'm learning about "prompt engineering" when asking LLMs to extract data. I now add this to all instructions:

Style
Be concise, analytic, and specific (cite page/figure if provided). If essential info is missing, keep going but flag Unclear and exact data needed. Never invent data.

you can tell that OpenGL is a better religion than Christianity, because OpenGL has a SuperBible, while Christianity only has a normal bible

Crazy how with these people it's always AI that's "here to stay like it or not" and never like gender affirming medical procedures or something

Man honestly what a career, from being a tedious academic who drew charts about dragons and appeared on local tv wearing a zoot suit to people thinking he was a genius because he told them to do chores and cried at disney movies, to going into a coma because he ate too much meat to dying of mold

Are TRANSformers biological men? Bro they're not even cis-robots, they only became cars once they moved to Earth to conform to our gender norms (the two genders being cars and small electronic appliances)

This is proof that conservative parents don't spend actual time with their kids (well, we know Graham doesn't). If they did, they'd know that there have been queer characters on Netflix (and Disney, Nickelodeon etc.) for decades. Like, they're only just discovering Dead End Paranormal Park.
