@georgetakei How original, to give the power over a sinking ship to a woman.
@Richard_Littler It seems that no LLM creator can come up with a set of rules that would cause the model to use phrases such as "I'm not sure" or "I don't really know".
Is there a diversity issue among AI devs?
🧵 [1 / 15]
So, we jumped from #Twitter to #Mastodon, after a man with a sink showed us how fragile centralized platforms really are. And now there's #Bluesky wanting to convince us that their AT Protocol is even more robust than #ActivityPub. But is it really superior and would it have been better to build the #fediverse on top of this protocol, instead?
Thread time!
@lcamtuf I love 60fps, but it does make things more VHSy.
@freemo @MelodyCooper @zack People are the same everywhere. But I'm sure you'll say I'm wrong, so I'll stop here. This went exactly as well as expected.
@freemo @MelodyCooper @zack It feels like you think US has the worst people in the world, and it's only the guns that make it just about bearable, except for some very worrying metrics.
@freemo @MelodyCooper @zack Guns have no effect on sexual assault?
@freemo @MelodyCooper @zack So guns don't prevent sexual assault?
@freemo @MelodyCooper @zack Is your claim that US has a significantly lower sexual assault rate as somepared to other rich countries?
@freemo @zack @MelodyCooper I'm comparing US to other rich countries, and you can probably see that the prevalence of mental illness is similar. Certainly not many times higher, as is the murder rate. Lack of healthcare access is certainly a factor, but I don't think it tells the whole story because, again, I don't think the difference is large enough.
@zack @MelodyCooper @freemo Yeah, I should have blocked you a while ago.
@zack @MelodyCooper @freemo Maybe you should decide whether you want to call me a retard or a pig? Or you know, act like an adult and not do those things? There's a risk you'll do that to someone face and encounter consequences.
@freemo @zack @MelodyCooper Again, I can provide sources. Neither of you two does. https://ourworldindata.org/mental-health
@freemo @zack @MelodyCooper Ok, I don't buy it. US has an average number of people with mental illness. It's the guns.
@freemo @zack @MelodyCooper If only those crazy people didn't have guns.
Of course it's also a very unspecific claim with no sources or even numbers, and I couldn't confirm it. But I'm sure you've proven it before.
@zack @MelodyCooper @freemo So that's also not something you're saying? Feels like you guys just don't want to talk about why Americans murder each other so much. So it's not because you want to and not because you can. What is the reason for your murder rate again?
@lcamtuf LLMs are so meta.
