Thanks for the clarification. I assumed it was code only because I wouldn’t know where to look to find out, and you see it everywhere.

It’s a right of passage for a kid to learn what a 120 volt shock feels like if they’re careless in unplugging something. One pin is just an unforgettable sensation, while both will knock you down. The real mystery is why code requires the outlets installed upside down. Technology Connections did at least one video on the differences of outlets in the world, and his point was that if the ground pin was above the other two, something falling on a partially exposed plug would rest on the harmless ground and not what it can do, short out the two live pins. But then we wouldn’t get the cute faces, so…

Current LLMs would end that sketch soon, agreeing with everything the client wants. Granted, they wouldn’t be able to produce, but as far as the expert narrowing down the issues of the request, ChatGPT would be all excited about making it happen.

The hardest thing to do with an LLM is to get it to disagree with you. Even with a system prompt. The training deep down to make the user happy with the results is too embedded to undo.

This is when the AI, in a microsecond, decided to destroy the human race.

Whoa there, that’s sounding like FDR level socialist type suggestions. And you remember how enacting such ideas worked out for… oh, yeah, he got reelected three times and became the reason why Republicans pushed through term limits.

Everybody claps.

Just don’t make toad jokes.

Geordi: “I already did.”

The real VIP. That really was solid science, and surprising results. I do think some additional research should be done via peer review to expand the sample size and ensure the original cats were acting as any cat would and not just well disciplined.

Also, what about when a cat is sick? That is certainly going to change the results.

Unfortunately they left off the most important part. The original source to be cited in future internet debates.

I’ve always loved the word “sonder”. Knowing that people have their own lives and thoughts and usually they aren’t centered on you at all is liberating. I wish I had run across this as a kid, to realize that the peer pressure I thought was there giving me anxiety was totally self-inflicted and I could just be myself.

Yes, after the fact you can’t just dump what you have and get something else unless you can afford to lose the money. I was referring to when some were out looking for an EV, especially back when Tesla was the name everyone was talking about. Now there’s much less of an excuse since other brands offer decent alternatives.

I saw a Model Y today that was debadged. First time I’ve seen that. Give them a pass? I know most will say no, but certainly there’s people out there who don’t keep up with news and bought a Tesla because it was a choice for an EV and no other reason? I just don’t like throwing people under the EV only because of what product they picked.

Any places around the urban areas or higher learning in NC won’t look twice at an interracial couple, they’re everywhere. There’s still racists here, don’t get me wrong, but they hold their tongue usually.

Memes are a direct line to reality. I saw it last night first on Imgur, took a few mins to hit other places.

Have anyone of color in a movie role and people get all worked up on “wokeness”, let’s see what a black pope would do.

They call it 3 to make it work with prophecy.

Ollama.com is another method of self hosting. Figuring out which model type and size for what equipment you have is key, but it’s easy to swap out. That’s just an LLM, where you go from there depends on how deep you want to get into the code. An LLM by itself can work, it’s just limited. Most of the addons you see are extra things to give memory, speech, avatars, and other extras to improve the experience and abilities. Or you can program a lot of that yourself if you know Python. But as others have said, the more you try to get out, the more robust a system you’ll need, which is why you find the best ones online in cloud format. But if you’re okay with slower responses and lower features, self hosting is totally doable, and you can do what you want, especially if you get one of the “Jailbroke” models that has had some of the safety limits modified out of them to some degree.

Also as mentioned, be careful not to get sucked in. Even a local model can be convincing enough sometimes to fool someone wanting to see things. Lots of people recognize that danger, but then belittle people who are looking for help in that direction (while marketing realizes the potential profits and tries very hard to sell it to the same people).
