[00:08]	MinceR	lol
[00:08]	Isambard_Prince	Today I said, "A three year old in the next town over got run over by an industrial lawnmower, he's expected to be in the hospital for weeks, and he may never walk properly. That's the kind of world your God is running."

[00:11]	MinceR	what if there's no spoon?
[00:14]	MinceR	lol @ altman
[00:15]	MinceR	> The AGI dream was pushed heavily by Altman, who wrote in one blog post in early 2025 that we know how to build AGI as we have traditionally understood it, and in another that the Singularity, a moment of apocalyptic transformation in which superintelligent machines would surpass humans, had already started, albeit in a gentle way.
[00:15]	MinceR	he's such a suit he can't even understand what the singularity is

[00:23]	MinceR	does the author quite know the 100 percent of their thinking?
[00:23]	MinceR	> and the next it is miscounting the number of Rs in strawberry, or struggling to answer whether 9.11 or 9.9 is a bigger number
[00:24]	MinceR	i suspect it fails at these things simply because these are not language-reasoning tasks, or close to language reasoning
[00:24]	MinceR	it sees "strawberry" as a series of tokens, fewer tokens than there are letters in "strawberry"
[00:24]	MinceR	so it probably has no idea how many r-s there are
[00:24]	MinceR	possibly it's just 1 token to it
[00:28]	admfubar	it hallucinates because the the staff creating it was tokin' on something.....

[13:49]	schestowitz[TR2]	- Someone made a post where they said I am queer, I am technically a furry too. with the Trans flag and a wolf emoji.
[13:49]	schestowitz[TR2]	- Ubuntu moderators removed the words I am queer, with the reasoning that talking about sexuality, at all, is not appropriate for the Ubuntu forum.
[13:49]	schestowitz[TR2]	- Ubuntu moderators also stated that posting the Trans flag was not appropriate as, if it were allowed, then Ubuntu would also need to allow an anti-Trans flag, or any other political flag.
[13:49]	schestowitz[TR2]	- After a massive fit from Leftist and Trans activists, Ubuntu caved and restored the I am queer text in the post.
[13:49]	schestowitz[TR2]	- Leftist Open Source Activists are still enraged at Ubuntu."
