this is so wildly on point

yours?

(it should become an internet copypasta and drift into mass consciousness)

there it is, sammy has gone and said people are just prompting the model wrong (I recall we’ve had that bit said here earlier)

but in true sammy grift: you just need to be asking the right questions to trump intelligence. “why do you want to suck, as a human?” sammy asks, not understanding a moment of humanity

when I’m debugging fucked up web pages (too often), the way I approach it is by loading the entire thing with network inspector view open (to catch requests), then right-click inspect on the element or something close to it. from that I find the element name/path/whatever, and then dig around in the request view to see what happened

little known historical fact: G+ was actually the mark that service got on its popularity exam

my god, some of the useful idiots there are galling

It looks like it’s reasoning pretty well to me. It came up with a correct way to count the number of r’s, it got the number correct and then it compared it with what it had learned during pre-training. It seems that the model makes a mistake towards the end and writes STRAWBERY with two R and comes to the conclusion it has two.

says the tedious poster entirely ignoring the fact that this is an extremely atypical baseline response, and thus clearly is operating under prior instructions as to which methods to employ to “check its logic”

fucking promptfans. at least I have that paper from earlier to soothe me

the word “commentariat” was invented too early, because it would be the absolute perfect choice with which to describe such posters

I definitely don’t have the spoons to read this most recent of his emanations (yes, I am picking that word), but from just the start of it alone… god

the orange man isn’t even in the seat yet and all these motherfuckers are loudly shouting who they are

oh, no no

nooooo no no no

there isn’t an opt-out button

there is only:

1. “Continue”,
2. “Learn More”

being absolutely incensed at blithely rambunctious imbeciles seems to be (one of?) my wordsmithing balmer peaks

(I have mixed feelings about that)

haha thanks

a couple weeks back, I was (bc reasons) looking around to see how to turn off goog’s annoying gemini bullshit in an account, and you can!

except then even after doing that, accounts in that org still got prompts (in the form of in-app banners, and sparklebuttons in shit like gmail) to Try The Model

it looks like people aren’t biting enough, because now you get it whether you like it or not, for the low low price of pushing up your base account fee! and I checked in one org - “Gemini App” is disabled org-wide, but the fucking prompt is immediately in the UI (and you get a modal popover opening gmail)

fuck these people so much

some of the first research science on promptfondlers and model-affine dipshits is starting to see the light of day and, in what will surprise probably 0% of our regulars, it confirms some things

(I have grumped about their desire for outsourced thinking in the past myself)

takes label sticker, writes “agentic” on it, slaps it on the model

look! agentic! that’ll be $30b in funding, thx

that, but also I meant specifically that it allows them to “build confidence” inside the company

“look, we’ve been running ads on mdn for weeks now, and no-one’s complained! obvies we can put it on $xyz other places now too!” with a heavy subtext of “why are you being the one that’s obstructing this?”

I possess no insider information whatsoever and I’ll fairly confidently state that I think it’s a fucking strategic choice. guess we get to wait 6~12mo to see how cassandra that statement is

that tracks

it’s one of their best places to start boiling the frog

nasb, it warms my cold diamond heart to continue seeing instances of people going “oh, yeah, uh… actually, no, fuck that shit. we’ll do it ourselves” in response to broadcom’s attempt to Raise Revenue Through Product Capture

my first thought on hearing the same was “if this is what he’s like in public, imagine what it’s like at home”

ow.

I mean he must know they will come after him next

big piles of money, and all the power bases he’s accrued

there’s long precedent of collaborators who were instrumental in the projects of harm and suppression still being able to flourish throughout selfsame projects

gonna add a whole new weight to “lying synthesis machines” :|
