Are still playing Monopoly, Risk, or Ticket to Ride? Time to switch to this Taiwanese propaganda board game where you retake mainland China. Just in case you are still shopping for Christmas presents. Source: buff.ly/SLl9HuV

My dad asking me if I had a tsunami warning and then me telling him the purpose of Chiba

Chiba-kun is out there on the front line taking the tsunami damage

Also it was in the north so I’m gonna have to bust out the map again

I really don't want to pay the publishing fee for my paper out of pocket... that 300,000-odd yen fee is going towards my expensive hobbies, health care, and 8' heels

Not satisfied with leaving this in a comment section - my reasoning for why I believe it is fundamentally impossible for an LLM to reason like a human.
Not remotely. When a human is taught language we are also given specific examples and concepts we can mentally associate with those words - think about how a child is both shown what an apple is (experiencing it with all of their senses), and then also given a sound they can associate with it.

Well at least Australia is famously blessed with lots of fresh water and isn't, say, our planet's driest populated continent, with a only thin reliably habitable zone around the coast, and permanent water restrictions even in their biggest city.

Since I’m studying for the Japanese teaching license I might document my progress as a podcast or in video format.

Was supposed to be teaching English today but somehow ended up teaching a bit of Japanese and Korean

These are native Japanese students 😭

I'm gonna have to talk to the big boss of the international relations department about a class looool (she's well aware of me and my shenanigans)
