Some people are very good at writing sex and some people are good at believing that they are good at writing sex, the first is a tremendously impressive skill and the second is what makes for deeply uncomfortable author presentations at science fiction conventions
There's nothing wrong with literary porn, but some of the crap those guys wrote was "Have you actuallly ever HAD sex?"

Language isn't even the same as information. It may be confused with it because information materializes through language. LLMs work in the level of what Saussure called "signifier"; the connection between that and the "signified" only happens in the mind of a person with relevant repertoire.
Cutting-edge research shows language is not the same as intelligence. The entire AI bubble is built on ignoring it.

Going to be a pretty rough and bare Thanksgiving, but I don't feel okay asking for any kind of help when 1.) I have a lot lately, and 2.) others need it far more than me.
I get to make Funeral Potatoes, so something's a win in there.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

i think if you want to have those disgusting LED headlights on your car, you should have to do a test where they blast you point blank with your own headlights and then you have 15 seconds to successfully complete some sort of vision-based task, and if you can't do it they push your car off a cliff
