Hence the job title ‘prompt engineer’ I guess. If you know about Soylent Green, AI is people!

What about semantics?

“Nothing is better than cake."

“But bread is better than nothing.

"Does that mean that bread is better than cake?”

There are certainly photoshop jobs of this image, but as far as I can tell, the black and white version with the sign saying ‘pon farr night fridays’ is the original. I’d like to know where the photo came from though.

…quotation marks… That’s enshittification at work: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enshittification A backwards step from… Alta Vista in 1996!!! https://jkorpela.fi/altavista/

Damn. Just when I’d learned to pronounce Eyjafjallajökull.

G’day Blue!

If plastic surgery is based on people with good looks, it seems to be very loosely based on them!

They don’t give a definition of ‘incomplete’ or ‘faulty’? Is that on purpose?

This is my complaint. It ranks popular videos with the title words out of order, over videos with the words in phrase order when I’ve used quote marks as a command to only return results containing the phrase.

I also assume that for both Google and YouTube, content they want me to see is being ranked above content I choose. I am the product, not the customer, and to me that’s not acceptable in a search engine.

I search Google for “Music behind the scenes”. Because the first word is music(?) Google gives me four songs with some of the keywords, but not in phrase order. Then it gives me seven YouTube videos, then one website that actually contains the phrase, and in fact refers to the videos I’m looking for.

But what it absolutely refused to give me, no matter how hard I tried, was this: https://youtu.be/7r01e_SZ5ic?si=GdOpoP8dBp372yjg

I presume this is because the videos aren’t monetised? Anyway precision score 11/30, and as for recall, even if I click on ‘videos’ the five of them that have the exact phrase in the title don’t appear at all.

Absolutely. Do you remember the herp derp extension that would turn them all into ‘herp derp herp derp’ so that you wouldn’t have to read them?

Ah, the positive characteristics of people who are early adopters of new technology, and capable of navigating their way onto a system where signing up wasn’t trivial. Seems to be highly correlated with language skills like spelling, grammar and vocabulary. I recognise my privilege.

Moderation in all things.

To avoid negative thinking, challenge the thought that a problem is personal, pervasive or permanent (Martin Seligman)

Parenting: Set a good example. Don’t punish. Teach. Tell them what TO do, not what not to do.

Having ideas about the way things ought to be is great, but you can only respond to what is.

Be excellent to each other. Do as you would be done by.

I hope everyone got to the point in the article where Top Blokes is mentioned because that’s a good news story.

Oh, this EPA?

Umm… correlation vs causation?? Anyone??

Angry upvote you brilliant bastard!
