ba dum chhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

OP clearly expects LLMs to exhibit mind-like behaviors. Lying absolutely implies agency, but even if you don’t agree, OP is confused that

It did not simply analyze the best type of graphics card for the situation

The whole point of the post is that OP is upset that LLMs are generating falsehoods and parroting input back into its output. No one with a basic understanding of LLMs would be surprised by this. If someone said their phone’s autocorrect was “lying”, you’d be correct in assuming they didn’t understand the basics of what autocorrect is, and would be completely justified in pointing out that that’s nonsense.

I know, but it’s a ridiculous term. It’s so bad it must have been invented or chosen to mislead and make people think it has a mind, which seems to have been successful, as evidenced by the OP

ChatGPT does not “hallucinate” or “lie”. It does not perceive, so it can’t hallucinate. It has no intent, so it can’t lie. It generates text without any regard to whether said text is true or false.

I still donate to … uBlock

From https://ublockorigin.com/:

The uBlock Origin project still specifically refuses donations at this time

Who are you giving money to?

Ridiculous. This line is clearly gay.

Everything the Nazis did in the Third Reich was legal. People who resisted them were breaking the law. Maybe we should evaluate things by their impact (pollution/invasion of privacy) rather than their legality.

Executives believe nearly half of the skills that exist in today’s workforce won’t be relevant just two years from now, thanks to artificial intelligence.

1. Executives are such dumbasses

2. That is literally all this “study” did. Ask people how many of their skills they think will be obsoleted. This headline is ridiculous.

Why was his gf upset?

Let’s see… the upvote arrow is off, so I turn it on, and just walk away!

I may not be a computer scientist in real life, but I directed a movie based on a short story written by someone else who isn’t a computer scientist in real life.

That’s not enough proof. You have to ask him if he’d stop an in progress genocide and if he says no, you’re good.

An incredibly weak argument is saying that it’s fine for Apple to intentionally make their UX worse, because they didn’t make it worse enough to matter.

People never re-read their own texts, good point.

Blue vs green bubble “debate”? Apple put green bubbles in their app to annoy their own users, who then turn around and blame non-apple users. What’s to debate about that?

Dammit

I mean even C++11 is a significantly different creature from OG C++. C++23 will have monadic optionals; maybe a future release will have generalized monads.

I use MakeMKV for ripping dvds and blurays (although honestly unless I really love the source material and want the highest possible quality I just download it).

They seem to have an active forum, that might be a good starting place.
