it is chefskiss.tiff that I keep "having conversations"[0] where people tell me that "AI" is "well-suited" to "data extraction that traditional tools struggle with" and then datapoints like this keep. coming. up.

[0] - I....am not inviting these. the promptfans just Defend their twisted little hearts away, unasked. it is tedious.

depends on audience / person? and also maybe teacher

I've stepped people through essentials with e.g. idea "tell me how to make coffee" (as an intro to procedurals and dependency) all the way through many other types/shapes, through lego/blockly/whatever style teaching, and through outright "imagine this is a magic box and ${thing} comes out the other side" stepped iteration. sometimes you can jump straight to "hey so here's a language that means specific things and here's what that means" and go from there

so yeah I guess for my part I'd say I attune to the recipient. but for advice toward teacher I guess I'd attune that toward what I figure they'd be good at teaching

so... what're you good at (teaching)?

aww schucks 😳

(I have a whole suit of gameshow ideas for felon to participate in tbh; the magic formula is "just make him do anything at all that requires a tiny bit of specific detail" combined with literally anything else, with a 7/10 "oh yeah no sorry the wifi isn't working and cell reception is bad down here[0]" layout. guaranteed comedic success.)

it is funny as fuck, though

on which note: I would love to see a kind of "double-blind" experience where a pile of (ideally, more clever/clueful) muskrats get to interact with felon (without knowing that they are), and then watch the fallout as they all go "wtf is this dumbass I'm speaking to"

I'm thinking something in the survivor-y format of shows

probably wouldn't ever happen, felon's too fucking proud (and would 10000000% rig the game to own image advantage). but in a perfect world where this happened, oh wouldn't that just be some great television

narcissism is a fuck

this is a pithy framing, I admit, and with him as possibly a boundary-pushing narcissist with record-breaking voids inside.... still

(why I was not as harsh as in earlier comments)

 

Halm, who according to his social media profiles just graduated from Harvard, tweeted that he’s simply in the arena trying stuff.

"I just wanna buuuuuuuuilllddddd" goes the annoying little fuck even before he's asked any questions about social impact and such

“The goal is to create the most addicting & personalized image recommendation system. V1 is as simple as possible. Future versions trained on current data will enable even more personalized images & user interaction in image generation."

just fuck right off

I recall seeing an example of them doing something like this to people's gdocs stuff (and iirc that was on paid account, but I could be misremembering). seems like they're ramping up the where to more coverage of their services/assets

 

The new silicon chips, made by Chicago-based p-Chip, use blockchain technology to authenticate data that can trace the cheese as far back as the producer of the milk used. The chips have been in advanced testing on more than 100,000 Parmigiano wheels for more than a year.

....honestly I don't even know what to say here

the absurdity of it is quite something

the consent problem is another quite something

this is so fucking nuts
