  • As far as I can tell from the article, the definition of "smarter" was left to the respondents, and "answers as if it knows many things that I don't know" is certainly a reasonable definition -- even if you understand that, technically speaking, an LLM doesn't know anything.

    As an example, I used ChatGPT just now to help me compose this post, and the answer it gave me seemed pretty "smart":

    what's a good word to describe the people in a poll who answer the questions? I didn't want to use "subjects" because that could get confused with the topics covered in the poll.

    "Respondents" is a good choice. It clearly refers to the people answering the questions without ambiguity.

    The poll is interesting for the other stats it provides, but all the snark about these people being dumber than LLMs is just silly.

  • We have free public school lunches for all our kids here in Minnesota because of Governor Walz. How the fuck is that "blue republican"?

  • Tim Walz says ‘we wouldn’t be in this mess’ if it wasn’t for him and Harris

  • From the article:

    "We have to make sure that Americans know it’s not just that Donald Trump is bad but we’re offering them something better," he continued. "And I think that’s what we need to work on."

    That's an admission of culpability.

  • It didn't help that the New York Times and other media outlets were all in on talking shit about Biden, and that undermined their credibility on the age issue. It was only after Biden's disastrous showing at his debate with Trump that the average voter had any credible evidence of his decline.

  • FWIW, seeing that the link was to an archive encouraged me to check out this Lemmy post. I understand the policy decision, but I wish I could see an indication in my feed that an archive link is available.

  • Mississippi Passes Bill Banning Lab-Grown Meat

    Jump

  • That's an overly negative take. Yes, there are serious challenges to the production of lab-grown meat; Wikipedia provides a good summary. This isn't a business that's ready to take off soon. But humans who are actually smart and do know what they're doing are working to solve these things.

    The challenges are serious, and anyone telling you "world is simple and future is bright" about the future of this industry, yeah, that's bullshit. I've never heard anyone say that, and I don't know where you heard that from. It might never be a viable industry. But it's not just a gimmick to keep fleecing VC investors.

  • The data at downforeveryoneorjustme make it appear that "only lasted for about half an hour" is BS. In fact, they appear to be having problems again this morning.

  • Warren, MICHIGAN. I would like to encourage anyone who posts local news to put clarifying geographical data in the title ... I've spent so many minutes of my life clicking thru to some local TV station's story and looking ... looking ... looking for any sort of clue where the hell they are.

  • Steve Bannon Gives Apparent Nazi Salute During CPAC Speech, Mirroring Elon Musk | Video

    Jump

  • The real headline should be "CPAC audience cheers Bannon's Nazi salute", because they totally did, and it leaves no doubt that CPAC is full of Nazis.

  • Now I wish I'd sent a DM instead. No need to embarrass you in public, oops. Oh well, next correction I'll be more discreet.

  • Whose Gulf?

  • Who's: a contraction for "who is".

    Whose: belonging to whom.

  • I know they're unbelievably dense, and they're getting their bizzaro worldview reinforced by Fox News every day, but at some point it will be obvious to a critical number of them that they've been had; used and tricked and made fools of.

    The whole mind control apparatus that was supposed to keep them in line was keeping their anger on a hair-trigger to short-circuit their critical reasoning faculties and make them atrophy. It worked for a long time, but the consequence is that, once it becomes obvious (even to them) that they've been duped, their carefully groomed anger will overflow ... and they've got an insane number of assault weapons.

  • I'd just like to interject for a moment.

  • Bill proposed to outlaw downloading Chinese AI models.

    Jump

  • Something about https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1 , or at least that's the model that everyone's been talking about recently. It looks like it'd be half a terabyte to clone the entire repo though, and I don't know how to use it either ...

  • Elon Musk considers suing Tim Walz over Nazi salute accusation

    Jump

  • According to the article, Walz said on MSNBC

    “We spent three days debating, or trying to debate that ‘President Musk’ gave a Nazi salute. Of course he did”

    Then one of Musk's Xitter followers said “I hope Elon sues [Walz] for all he’s worth.” to which Musk replied "I think I will".

    So, Musk was just talking out his ass, and it's doubtful he'll actually file suit.

    This has all got me thinking, how else can Musk be manipulated? Exacerbating cat fights in the administration and surrounding MAGAsphere seems like one of the most promising ways to prevent them from doing too much damage.

  • Pardoned Jan. 6 rioter shot dead while resisting arrest during traffic stop: police

    Jump

  • If it were just another black dude who got shot "because he had a gun", I'd doubt the word of the police about that. But this guy? I'm almost certain he had a gun and made some move that would have raised reasonable suspicion that he was intending to use it. Because those are the sorts of people who when to Jan 6.

  • FBI shares new details about pipe bombs placed ahead of Jan. 6 : NPR

  • Realizing this investigation has been quietly going on for 4 years now makes me think of all the other ongoing investigations that the incoming Trump administration will kill, so they can focus on fabricating reasons to pursue their political enemies.

  • I would really like to thank the Arch community for maintaining such a wonderful wiki; it's great that your nuts-and-bolts approach naturally generates the best documentation. That said, Debian will always be my distro of choice.

  • No, Brian Thompson Wasn’t a “Working-Class Hero”

  • I know it's a long shot, but it's possible Trump could be manipulated into doing some actual good. He's at the phase of life where even he must realize he can't take his material wealth with him in death, and might want to send a final "fuck you" to all his pathetic suck-up followers when he realizes that they just want to use him.
