Then there are those of us who grew up in an era where usernames either didn't matter or didn't exist (depending on the platform), so you quickly became conditioned to just not reading their name let alone clicking into their whole account to see who they are. I am guilty of it, but people looking at your profile is creepy.

I know that on Reddit before I left, the only time I ever took a good hard look at someone else's account is if they said something that made me so unbelievably angry that I had to look at everything else they said to find something to clap back with. By the time I would get partway through their post history, I would realize that I let a random stranger on the internet tilt me and then I'd calm down and feel stupid for a while before going back to my own business.

We are all strangers on the internet. Let's keep it that way.

It's interesting to see that taking a "My way or the highway" approach seems to have actual repercussions. Almost as if nobody wants to work with you when you do that.

I know that I and many others have donated to KDE due to their vibrance and inclusivity in the conversation. They have panels where they actively ask what it is that users want to see (within the scope of some broader goals they've set for the year).

I think you are either too wealthy or too attached to city living to understand the point of these.

Tiny homes:

• are affordable to anyone with almost any income, not just $80-100k+ a year incomes (which are practically mandatory now to buy a home in the current economy)

• Can be set up literally anywhere that zoning allows for

• A good choice for off-grid/prepper lifestyle

• A good choice for solo living or for a couple to share with no kids

They would need to fix the SMS app first (lots and lots of bugs, not the least of which is that it likes to split MMS group chats up into separate 1 on 1 threads with every single participant as soon as you reply to the group)

I think we are just going to have to cordially disagree.

It is akin to the relativity problem in physics. Where is the center of the universe? What "grid" do things move through? The answer is that everything moves relative to one another, and somehow that fact causes the phenomena in our universe (and in these language models) to emerge.

Likewise, our brains do a significantly more sophisticated but not entirely different version of this. There are more "cores" in our brains that are good at differen tasks that all constantly talk back and forth between eachother, and our frontal lobe provides the advanced thinking and networking on top of that. The LLMs are more equivalent to the broca's area, they havent built out the full frontal lobe yet (or rather, the "Multiple Demand network")

You are right in that an AI will never know what an apple tastes like, or what a breeze on its face feels like until we give them sensory equipment to read from.

In this case though, its the equivalent of a college student having no real world experience and only the knowledge from their books, lectures, and labs. You can still work with the concepts of and reason against things you have never touched if you are given enough information about them beforehand.

Its almost as if the word "intelligence" has been vague and semi-meaningless since its inception...

Have we ever had a solid, technical definition of intelligence?

This problem is due to the fact that the AI isnt using english words internally, it's tokenizing. There are no Rs in {35006}.

All of those options are to NIST-spec. MFA means multi-factor. It doesnt matter what they are as long as they are in different categories (something you know, something you have, something you are, etc: password, passkey, auth token, auth app, physical location, the network you are connected to). Two or more of these and you are set (though, location might be a weak factor).

I think its not kind to insinuate that i was telling them they were misidentifying themselves when there is a QUESTION MARK in my post.
