I can give you a prompt, but not today. Not enough time left in the day.

I'll think of a good example..

@masukomi

Can I star this harder?

@neuralreckoning

I'll give you one tip.

Think of a difficult to explain model. Like maybe getting a good understanding of a mathematical model. Then prompt Gemini 2.5 pro or chat gpt to create a Google Collab that models that thing, along with knobs to change different variables of that model, or perhaps show you how slightly different models model differently.

Then let someone twiddle with the knobs for a bit to understand the model.

Try explaining that as fast with other methods. It's an extremely fast way to communicate these sorts of ideas. The fact that it's a Google Collab makes it very portable. You can send a link to someone and boom they have it on their computer without installing a bunch of libraries etc.

I don't believe in God,

But I know cats are angels.

@Hawaii

Was a good peaceful time here. (Not going to say where)

Like a total of 5 police I saw.

Only one weird instance of a guy with a Trump flag and a gun.

@erininthemorning.com

You (not you, but news media you) are telling me that the killer who was dressed like the police and had a list of DEMOCRATS and ABORTION clinics on a list as targets means that we should stop this protest?

This is why this protest is happening!

Because it's always Democrats getting killed, and is always a right wing ideology doing the killing!

And this King along with evil businessmen and Fox News and other no spine journalists have created an environment where this is occurring.

It must end.

Make sure to reply with a recording afterwards if you can. 😊

I worked in medical for a bit and yeah, it's pretty easy to see how some hospitals back in the day were mad houses that devolved into abuse.

Not being able to admit you don't know is a terrible habit.

@tedium

I only use social networks with a backbone.
Bluesky has given in to censorship, and it will again. No more big social platforms owned by companies that inevitably monetize their user-base.

@erininthemorning.com

Cute picture!

I'll stay incognito, but glad you are living it. 😊

@beka_valentine

I hate that on a deep level.

Okay so I'm reading the paper now.

So far it seems like they are saying... When you use a language model wrong, it performs poorly.

Which... Duh.

For example, you can't ask the language model itself to do a math equation. It will get it wrong, it's just not in its ability to do so. But you can ask a language model to write a program that solves the equation.

The model itself cannot do the calculation. This is known.

This is why modern models do some trickery on the back end where they use traditional tools to validate conclusions. Like having a calculator or a Python interpreter.

I'm just annoyed at everyone still thinking this stuff is a fad and it's going to go away. It's blindingly obvious it's not going away. I think we should be more focused on supporting those who will make models we can use instead of allowing two giant companies to have the whole thing to themselves that they then use to brainwash us all.

Because I would really love to run local models and build cool workflows for people instead of talking directly to Google and OpenAI.

Allowing two companies to have a monopoly on the thinking device you plug into your brain- that they can shut off, seems like a bad idea.

@xale @eosfpodcast

That's called moving the goal post.

@Tealfuleyes

Artists are sometimes the best people to ask. We don't care about power, just about the art.

Well... As much as existence allows us to. Gotta live.

@lffontenelle @SrRochardBunson

That seems like it might be reasonable honestly and I'm in the US.

The problem is more of a country torn in two in terms of what it believes in. Unfortunately, I believe one side believes in propaganda, and the other is split between well meaning idiots and people trying to keep the country from going under from it's own stupidity.

It also seems Israel has infiltrated our country through Christianity. (somehow)

Apple be like,

Noooo don't leave us behind!.....
LLM's don't even work!

Copium.

To be clear the future still terrifies me and I hate how many bad actors language models can enable. I tried to say more, but it's too complicated a subject.

@eosfpodcast

Yup, that Google Collab that I just wrote using a simple prompt and a math equation to help a coworker understand a very difficult concept that would have probably taken me a whole day to write traditionally is an illusion.

I tend to find this guy (Atrioc) pretty enlightening. It's always dangerous to say you trust someone, but he posts good stuff generally.

Here is hoping I don't wake up one day going what nonsense is he saying!?

Anyways check him out.

@alice @alttexthalloffame

I think it's fun.

@wdlindsy

I'm surprised so many people don't know that Christy Walton is not the owner of Walmart.

She just has money from Walmart.
