How do you know they don’t regret it? Because they don’t whimper on every comment ‘Oh it was terrible and I wish I had never joined the armed forces’ every time they write about their time there? Don’t presume. Also, ad hominem attacks are dumb and you shouldn’t use them.
You’re just going to insult someone for making a reasoned, informed reply to a comment?
There are many reasons someone might join the armed forces, and whether or not you are a conscientious objector, you might consider thinking before calling someone a war criminal without knowing what they actually did during their time in the military. Plenty of people went into combat zones without committing any war crimes.
Also, ad hominem attacks are dumb and you shouldn’t use them.
You could put a floatie on the ocean and a height chart next to it that says “How do you feel about sandwiches?” with demarcations from “hate 'em” to “love 'em”, then any given wave would push the floatie up to the height of its opinion.
This is exactly as accurate as asking an AI about its opinion on sandwiches.
I like interfaces as a supplement to inheritance. The strength of inheritance is getting all of the internal functionality of the parent class, while still allowing you to differentiate between children.
Interfaces are useful for disparate classes which don’t have much in common besides fitting within a specific use case, rather than classes that are very similar to each other but need specific distinguishing features.
Admittedly this is why I like C#'s ‘implements’ paradigm. Doesn’t have to inherit, it just has to fulfill the contract, and then you can pass it to anything that expects the interface it implements. Keeps you from building giant trees.
Or a group that espouses its ideals AND calls themselves ‘Nazis’.
GDPR laws allow you to download the contents of a Discord server that you have never been on? I thought it only required access to your own data.
You can only access it if you install Discord.

Killing 3rd-party apps drastically reduced my usage, but didn’t convince me to leave.
However, when just upvoting Luigi posts was declared a bannable offense, that was when I decided it was time to pack up.
Maybe AI wrote the script too…
“No, I! I am the leader of Antifa!”
As an American…
Say it louder for those in the back.
You misunderstand. The outcome of asking an LLM to think about an apple is the token ‘Okay’. It probably doesn’t get very far into even what you claim is ‘thought’ about apples, because when someone says the phrase “Think about X”, the immediate response is almost always ‘Okay’ and never anything about whatever ‘X’ is. That is the sum total of its objective. It does not perform a facsimile of human thought; it performs an analysis of what the most likely next token would be, given what text existed before it. It imitates human output without any of the behavior or thought processes that lead up to that output in humans. There is no model of how the world works. There is no theory of mind. There is only how words are related to each other with no ‘understanding’. It’s very good at outputting reasonable text, and even drawing inferences based on word relations, but anthropomorphizing LLMs is a path that leads to exactly the sort of conclusion that the original comic is mocking.
Asking an LLM if it is alive does not cause the LLM to ponder the possibility of whether or not it is alive. It causes the LLM to output the response most similar to its training data, and nothing more. It is incapable of pondering its own existence, because that isn’t how it works.
Yes, our brains are actually an immensely complex neural network, but beyond that the structure is so ridiculously different that it’s closer to comparing apples to the concept of justice than comparing apples to oranges.
You can tell a person to think about apples, and the person will think about apples.
You can tell an LLM ‘think about apples’ and the LLM will say ‘Okay’ but it won’t think about apples; it is only saying ‘okay’ because its training data suggests that is the most common response to someone asking someone else to think about apples. LLMs do not have an internal experience. They are statistical models.
You know, that’s a good point. LLMs themselves aren’t horrible abominations - it’s capitalism that, as usual, ruined a good thing.
If Trump is putting someone on blast, odds are it’s because they said something meeeeaaaan about him and got his feefees hurt. He always starts with ‘they’re the worst (whatever their job is)’ and admits partway through what it’s really about.
Nah, thumb is going for clit
