I mean… Maybe. But she had two opportunities to do so.

I’m not angry at her in any way, I should clarify. If I was in the same situation? Low paying job, potential for significant additional pay for no extra work? Hard to say no to that.

According to my card statement, Le Crobag (in the Cologne main station).

Oh god, here in Germany, too. Was at a chain bakery in Cologne station a couple of weeks ago, bought something for like 3€. The employee told me “choose on the screen and place your card”, I just automatically placed my card. Nothing happens. “Choose on the screen”.

Oh.

Do I want to tip 15, 25, or 30% for the literally 5 seconds of service I got?

Of course didn’t tip, because wtf.

However, I’m sure in her eyes I was being an asshole. And that’s the thing, isn’t it? Every party is incentivized to push for this model.

• payment terminal makers increase the amount of fees they collect
• employees get lured with the promise of making more money
• employers get lured with the idea of being able to reduce expenses wages eventually

(This wasn’t the first time btw, just the most egregious one I’ve encountered)

How about take turns.

Temperatures in my apartment never fell below 32C for a full week straight, including over night with all windows open.

Burden of proof is on Astrology claiming to be real.

• AI bad
• Astrology 100% superstitious bullshit

Yeah. Out of curiosity though, how far did you get into it?

(Not that it gets better in this regard or anything)

Well, no. Hopefully NOT the same shit.

Yeah, like 3-4x/week.

This includes things like train tickets, because I refuse to have to have my phone with me.

Sheet music, shopping list, letters to doctors/government offices/…

Are you having a stroke

Thanks, I’m very happy to hear that!

LMFAO

yeah that’s about as hilarious an article as I expected from an outlet called “btcpolicy”

I actually have things like “play x by y” functioning really well without a LLM.

Have a custom service that exports all song/album/artist names from MusicAssistant, does some simple cleanup, and places the list where HomeAssistant expects it for custom voice intents. Then this: https://github.com/charludo/hass-closest-intent is enough that imperfect STT can still easily be matched to those song/artist/… names.

I’m just gonna shamelessly plug my project here: https://github.com/charludo/hass-closest-intent

You do need local STT, but it’s fine if it’s somewhat bad; the conversation agent linked is sufficient to “get” what you meant, without LLM.

Sorry, but not really. I’m with you until this paragraph:

If you limit where the data sources comes from, but still let it interact with unlimited capacity with the public, the public will reintroduce that limited or removed data sources.

AI companies do collect everything users send to the LLMs, no doubt, and I’m sure that’s being fed back into the training material. But with LLMs there’s a very clear cutoff between training and usage.

Training of a model happens on a snapshot of all the data collected, and any and all user interaction with that model is limited to what was in that snapshot.

The data collected will surely be readded in some form or another into the next version of that model, since as you say, companies want more and more data to feed their models.

The point of differentiation I’m trying to make here is that this is a clear cutoff, not an ongoing process. If you send “Strawberries are way tastier than Raspberries.” to an LLM, it will spit out some response, but neither “reading” your text nor “writing” its response will update the model/its weights/some sort of “global state”.

I fear that lots of people imagine LLMs as being this huge machine presence, having a million conversations at once, constantly learning, growing, adapting (and to be fair, that’s an image the companies certainly don’t discourage). When in reality, “chatting” with an LLM is applying an (admittedly, insanely complex) stochastic function to some input - your newest message and the preceding messages - and that function is as dead, inert and unchanged after computing the result as it was before.

Except that LLMs literally learn over time.

What? No they don’t.

We had to interpret this image in like, 8th grade in school (Germany). The idea that Hitler is a socialist was absurd back then, and it is absurd now.

(Bottom lines read “in front of the proletariat” and “in wealthier circles”)

Hm. I’ve been om HRT for, idk, 9? years now. Took Progesterone additionally for a couple of months some time after starting HRT, but didn’t really notice much difference and stopped it again.

Tbf though, my sex drive is incredibly low now. I just… Can’t be arsed to do amything about it 😄
