I've both been reading lots of news and started Zoloft again recently and I'm not certain it's unrelated

It might help to stop describing it as "getting laid" as if it's an activity men do entirely alone. Like you have sex with another person, who bring their own wants and needs and desires. It is a team sport!

i live in Australia where ranked choice voting is used everywhere and it's definitely better - can't think of an instance where two candidates stood side by side to cross endorse though. It does however lead to campaigns to e.g. "put the liberals last" across parties (liberals = conservative party)

what are you talking about he is posting about how terrible the skremetti case is and how it's emblematic of the horrific attitudes of the right sadistically targetting bullying people like trans people

I assume that she didn't use any GenAI to produce the paper (as that would go against her findings and thesis!) and if you work with that assumption in mind and re-read the quote from her, it seems to be referring to the version of AI she used in the study - which she does state in the paper!

Yeah I put it into ChatGPT to see and the summary was pretty reasonable, and I read the paper...

Sorry - that's my dodgy snipping! It's a shame because I think the paper itself is really interesting, and the main thing going viral about it seems to be a potential mistake :/

What about the part where she says 'nowhere in the paper did she specify the version of Chat-GPT that was used' because it seems like they did specify it?

Like what is she referring to as "the version of ChatGPT she used" if not the one used by participants in the study?

Ah okay - what does that mean to say that the paper was 'trained on' an LLM at all?

Quite possibly! I also really don't understand what the phrase "the paper was trained on ChatGPT-4o" in the sentence means (in what way was the paper trained???) so I might be missing something

or am I misunderstanding what she means when saying 'the paper was trained on'?

One thing I'm not understanding is how the second bit squares with this part of the paper - is this not explicitly saying that it was ChatGPT-4 that was used?

This is totally consistent, their position has always been we don't have those rights so there's nothing to take away

Noooo i did not like it at all, it was so clearly made by a Fan (derogatory), felt like a video game, does not understand what is good about Alien at all! But then again I like Prometheus and Covenant very much so may be in the minority here...

Yes, exactly, you've lived on the sideline because this behaviour and posture is incapable of building a movement of any significant size

will stancil is 100% on the money when he says social media is great for telling you what *others think* about a thing, rather than telling you about a thing. The social expectation among a group is to bash the Dems, so people see your podcast, do that and get rewarded. No listening required
