My job only exists because it was cheaper to hire several thousand tech workers to replace all the oracle products in house over several years than to keep using Oracle lmao

I meant they’re specifically not going for that though. The experiment isn’t about improving the environment itself, it’s about improving the LLM. Otherwise they’d have spent the paper evaluating the effects of different environments and not different LLMs.

I’m pretty sure they touch on those points in the paper, they knew they were overloading it and were looking at how it handled that in particular. My understanding is that they’re testing failure modes to try and probe the inner workings to some degree; they discuss the impact of filling up the context in the abstract, mention it’s designed to stress test and are particularly interested in memory limits, so I’m pretty sure they’ve deliberately chosen to not cater to an LLMs ideal conditions. It’s not really a real world use case of LLMs running a business (even if that’s the framing given initially), it’s not just a test to demonstrate capabilities, it’s an experiment meant to break them in a simulated environment. The last line of the abstract kind highlights this, they’re hoping to find flaws to improve the models generally.

Either way, I just meant to point out that they can absolutely just output junk as a failure mode.

LLMs can degrade by giving “wrong” answers, but not because of network congestion ofc.

That paper is fucking hilarious, but the tl;dr is that when asked to manage a vending machine business for an extended period of time, they eventually go completely insane. Some have an existential crisis, some call the whole thing a conspiracy and call the FBI, etc. it’s amazing how trash they are.

The phrase “we aren’t free until we’re all free” applies to animals as much as humans, and thinking otherwise is straight up bigotry. That so few extend leftist thought to the rest of the living world is a travesty, if you’ve managed to come around to leftist thinking then you’ve absolutely been capable of challenging your pre-conceived biases and this is just another step in that process.

All that said, I’m not one to judge people for not agreeing with this. It took me an exceptionally long time and the right circumstances to finally reassess my reasoning and to realise it was absurdly flawed, hypocritical and informed by propaganda.

Well I’m being a little deceptive for the joke of course, but he just felt like Jesus was sitting in the chair and then talked to the invisible Jesus.

The guy ended up doing a bunch of stuff at my highschool and which really bugged me because he only ever had surface level religious phrases to say (motivational speaker kinda stuff but with more Jesus) that glossed over some really big issues we were all facing at the time.

Ah yeah “all atheists just hate god,” I forgot that was a thing. Could be the case, it was a long time ago

I once met a guy who became a priest because he had a religious experience while talking to a chair.

The weirdest one I ever got was in highschool, someone said “how can you not believe in god, god is love” and I still don’t understand how that’s meant to be an argument.

We’re both at the same time

For the love of god, leave this community here and just create a new mod team instead. This community being on Blåhaj specifically is a big plus for a lot of us

If you steal them, avocados are free… or so I’m told

Leaving the instance or blocking someone isn’t transphobic, but not respecting their pronouns is. It’s that simple.

My point is that weebs are considered more acceptable than furries in almost every space, it’s not literal.

Everyone has a problem with furries because “it’s sexual” and the usual rebuttal is that not all of it is about sex, but I think this misses the point.

Basically every adult fandom has a sexual element, weebs are the fucking same and no one goes around calling all anime fans perverts. Sexuality is a natural human thing and they have a goddamn right to explore that through their medium. Get to know a furry, they’re just normal fucking people (pun not intended, I’m just Australian).

Beastiality is not a furry thing and should not be lumped into it. Fuck zoophiles.

There’s also a lot of people who will use the abstraction available in furry art/fandom to explore their identity and sexuality, it’s honestly a good space for helping people grow and understand themselves. I’ve known plenty of trans people who’ve only been able to find and accept their being trans through their fursonas. They’re valid as hell and I’ll defend them until I die.

Don’t worry, that’s on my to-do list
