I see people asking: How else will we critically study GPT-4 etc then?
Don't. Opt out. Study something else.
GPT-4 should be assumed to be toxic trash until and unless #OpenAI is *open* about its training data, model architecture, etc.
I rather suspect that if we ever get that info, we will see that it is toxic trash. But in the meantime, without the info, we should just assume that it is.
To do otherwise is to be credulous, to serve corporate interests, and to set terrible precedent.

I guess on the #Fediverse it's not a bad thing to boost your old posts. On other platforms I always kinda felt bad about it, it made me feel selfish ego centric smug.
However, on here it feels natural because if I'm having a moment and that opinion still stands and matters to me, I know I can re-post it by boosting because not everyone saw it the first time. #Mastodon

Gross. The "No Labels" third party is, I would say, almost certainly yet another GOP scheme to win the election without getting a majority vote.
My fingers were floury (Irish Soda Bread! ☘️ ) so I said to my phone "okay Google, set a timer for forty minutes!". I had to try this a few times, but ultimately there was a timer set for 40 minutes.
14 minutes later, there was a bizarre warbling sound from somewhere. Not my phone, and not any tone I'd heard before. I eventually traced it down to the Google Home Mini speaker in the living room.
Apparently it had overheard me talking to my phone in the kitchen, but heard it as "fourteen" rather than "forty".
Spoken interfaces to devices was a BAD IDEA!
Another heavenly beginning to the day.

We weren’t brought to our knees because China unleashed a bioweapon, purposefully or accidentally; it’s because we repeatedly pushed nature toward the next pandemic and then threw away the playbook for containing it. The desperate scramble to point fingers will only put us in worse shape for the next one. https://newrepublic.com/article/171012/lab-leak-covid-gain-of-function

DeSantis's "copy Trump" strategy is sort of turning him into a scapegoat, allowing other Republicans to say what they think about Trump but addressing it at DeSantis. https://presspass.thebulwark.com/p/republicans-take-out-their-long-held
