Seth Pecksniff posted:Real "first Chinese emperor trying to live forever by ingesting mercury" vibes here he's probably not as healthy as he thinks he is, from some article: quote:It’s not just that medical professionals are skeptical of Blueprint’s ability to achieve immortality. They’re not even convinced Johnson’s routine is particularly healthy. Dr. Nir Barzilai, the director of the Institute for Aging Research at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City, met Johnson in May, at the annual retreat for the Academy for Health & Lifespan Research. Barzilai recalls that when Johnson showed up, the doctors present were concerned. “He looked sick. He was pale. I don’t know what he did with his face,” Dr. Barzilai says, adding that he was alarmed by Johnson’s lack of fat, which plays an important role in the body. “All these MDs, we all kind of agreed that he didn’t look so great.”

Apartently he was a bit of a dick, so we've probably done something to piss him off.

zedprime posted:How hard is it to make a nazi chat bot anyway? Tay was like 2016. Tay was actually programmed from the bottom up by Microsoft and was a lesson in why chat bots need rail guards. Grok et al are half-assed coats slapped on top of someone else's proprietary LLMs. Like this was just someone taking ChatGPT Select or whatever and telling it to be a nazi via prompts, which is not going to override its various hard-coded "don't be a nazi" directives. No one is going to build a nazi chatbot from scratch, because nazis are stupid and lazy.

You can also be polite and correct them nice and get good results. "That doesn't sound right are you sure, think carefully". If you need to make a wall of text like that the training data does not support what you are trying to make find a different LLM as your base. I'm still not sure what actual work your going to get out of these things often you have to fit the prompt and understand it so well it takes more time than doing it manually or coding a proper solution instead of loving with this poo poo.

kazil posted:Posting Musk in the Harry Potter thread Their advertising relevance is for poo poo. I’m not involved in marketing but for our financial year end they let all the teams provide stats on the “great things our people did this year” and the marketing slide included social media engagement. Target engagement on LinkedIn was 9%, achieved 15%. Facebook was 5%, achieved 10%. Twitter/X was 3%, achieved was 1.7%. Honestly I don’t know why they bother outside of LinkedIn (where sycophantic employees will engage) because we only deal with businesses, not Joe Public. I don’t know who is liking/responding to posts about a new service we’re selling or an event we held but they must be freaks.

BalloonFish posted:I like the theory that the wizarding 'world' shown in the HP books is actually a weird self-secluding traditionalist sect. There are actually millions of witches and wizards just out in the world, living ordinary lives with electricity and cars and computers, getting useful educations and having regular jobs while discretely using magic in fun and useful ways. I'm reading Pale, by Wildbow, and it's funny how much more interesting and robust the magic system is. Despite being way more heavily limited and costly than HP's magic system, it's flexible enough that you can slot in basically any spiritual or mystic practice from anywhere in the world and have it work. That's partially because the Practice is indirectly born of humanity anyway, and is shaped by local cultural ideas and traditions. Stuff happens more easily the more it's done and the more people think it works some way, so if you have thousands or millions of people following certain beliefs and adhering to specific traditions then the spirits will respond to it and that will be just how things work The protagonists even spend some time at a local school for practitioners (in Canada) and it's implied that there are probably thousands of similar institutions around the world all kind of doing their own thing for what makes sense there. The idea that there's only one school for a region that includes roughly a third of all of humanity is so laughable it's obvious Rowling spent less than ten seconds thinking about it. Even if there's only one wizard for every thousand or ten thousand muggles you'd still have a school with hundreds of thousands or millions of students

BigglesSWE posted:The last FB movie was hilariously dumb. Apparently the wizards elect a world president (never mentioned before but ok) by first allowing a magical baby deer point out the wizard with “the purest of heart”. The whole series started out incredibly stupid and got stupider as it went along. Start of first movie: American wizards are terrified of muggles, have Jim Crow laws against marriage etc and are under orders to obliviate any muggles who find out about them. In spite of this the Second Salemers are out and about trying to alert muggles to the terrible menace of wizards among them, including going to the newspapers, holding rallies etc. The Aurors ignore this. One of the Second Salemers runs an orphanage where she abuses the kids, including wizard kids, to the point of one of them manifesting a shrieky dark ultimate evil murderthing. The Aurors ignore this, except for one whose solution is to punch her in the face. The Aurors take her badge away for this. I mean, if she was deliberately writing "wizard society is horrible, self-deceiving and fascist" it'd be great, but she very obviously isn't. She has this random list of tropes that she's mashed together with no interest at all how they fit or don't.

Most magic media that involves WW2 has evil Nazi wizards that need to be defeated or takes the path that wizards are detached in a negative way and wouldn’t help. Rowling makes it so her bad wizard guy in WW2 wants to kill Hitler and needs to be stopped from doing that because it would be bad.

So, the whole internet has been making fun of her for the past 24 hours. I love it when rich people who are so far up their own arses realise the world hates them and it just breaks their loving minds.

gschmidl posted:Zero chance she knows this. Another great example of her doing zero research - she put the North American wizarding school on top of Mount Greylock, the tallest mountain in Massachusetts, where it's supposedly concealed by magical mist and thick woods. As a New Englander this makes me laugh because I've been up there - there's a road to the not-too-far summit, and a visitor's lodge located at the peak. Also supposedly the school is influenced by "Native American" magic, and I don't even want to know what that looks like. Edit: To get us back on track a bit, considering the thread's original subject matter:  Also - "We're doing great, but also PLEASE GIVE US YOUR MONEY"  IBroughttheFunk fucked around with this message at 16:18 on Apr 12, 2024 |

I quit coming to this thread for a while because it's depressing, but last night I had a dream that I was Elon's personal assistant, and at one point had the horrific realization that I was functionally this guy's conscience because he would listen to ideas I posited if I framed them right. If guardian angels are a thing, that must be what it's like, watching these idiot monkeys and trying to make them act right by making them think it's their idea. Rough.
