Happy 21st December evening everyone. May the Great Veiled Bear pass over you house tonight and not present you with one of his cursed Christmas cookies.

I will keep saying this.
If you bought a calculator and it EVEN ONCE told you 2+2=5, you’d throw it out and demand a refund.
If you had an employee who lied confidently to you, and was easily caught, you’d fire them.
LLMs are the untrustworthy calculator and the confident liar.
Fire them.

suspect a big reason why many academics and others who work in areas where getting facts RIGHT is key are disinterested in using LLMs for research:
they’ve tried it, they keep noticing major errors in output, and they conclude that having to verify all that doesn’t actually save them time.

Other people the British state allowed to die on hunger strike include a Suffragette and an animal rights activist. They're going to be sitting around watching Love Actually while these people die, and it will not cost them a moment's thought to do so.

In case you're out there waiting for Sir Keir to be so deeply moved by the plight of these brave individuals that he puts his career on the line for their wellbeing, or whatever

Probably worth noting that the British government allowed so many Irish people to die on hunger strikes at various times that it has its own Wikipedia page:

I just wrote to my MP using the recommendations and guidelines below. I implore all British people on my timeline to do the same.
We have to be better than what the government, the money and the press are trying to reduce us to.

I guess I believe that seeking pleasure is a more fundamental drive than avoiding pain, and through this lens most bigotries reveal themselves pretty clearly.

An issue I have with many, many progressive dissections of various bigotries is the failure to consider that dominating and humiliating other people is something that a lot of people find pretty fun.

Yeah. Sometimes, behind all the bellowing and bluster and fluency in social justice verbiage, you might observe a person’s behavior and realize their vision of justice is just “When is it my turn at the top? When is it my turn to do the violence?”

Now, just 6 days later, the strike is growing AGAIN.

Remember if it was capable of “revolutionizing” art, film or music - it would’ve produced something of cultural value already.
Instead all its made is endless piles of derivative slop because that’s all its capable of.
