Back in my days it was called sales pitch, or an ad. Granted, I didn’t read very deep into it because I’m allergic to ads and the language like that makes me irrationally angry, but after my very brief glance and short clicking through links, I didn’t find any links to anything but another ads, endless paragraphs of ads no doubt generated by the same program they’re trying to sell.

Sorry, wasn’t my intention

Did Americans voted for him?

Always bring a cart full of bones with you everywhere you go. You will certainly not regret having a cart full of bones.

I feel like this story lacks a lot of details

I don’t think you remember how difficult was to install anything back then.
I mean yeah, installing Linux was more complicated, and you couldn’t just google shit. Still, I was making pretty good money back then on the side specifically because regular user wasn’t able to do shit with their computer.
Linux was harder, both were difficult, both required separate set of skills you couldn’t just get.

For me it’s “this comment shouldn’t exist” button. Sometimes it’s because it makes the experience of reading worse, regardless of the content of the comment. Sometimes it’s because the content is so bad.
But i don’t just downvote something if I just disagree with it, it should be bad

If not for the price.

So it’s not taxes, it’s some unspecified fines

The amount of people who don’t understand how taxes work is just ridiculous.

Fire good. Angry gods strike ground. Man take fire. Place food on top. Simple.
E-e-elic-tri-s-i-ty bad. Complicated. Not know who volt is. Sparks scary. Place food on top not know how.

The problems in thinking that your data is unbiased, is that you don’t know where your data is biased, and you stopped looking

Shrimp Jesus is wery western phenomenon

Both Cyberpunk and BG3 work flawlessly on the external USB hard drive that I use. The loading times suffer a bit, but not to an unplayable degree, not even close

36 Typical Bananas

And do you think all the shrimp jesuses on facebook are made by and for young people?

I am convinced that unbiased data doesn’t exist, and at this point I’m not sure it can exist on principal. Then you take your data full of unknown bias, and feed it to a blackbox that creates more unknown bias.

very similarly to human brains

While the model of a unit in neural network is somewhat reminiscent of the very simplified behaviouristic model of a neuron, the idea that NN is similar to a brain is just plain wrong.
And I’m afraid, based on what you wrote, you didn’t understand what this story means and why I told it.

My favourite story about it was that one time when neural network trained on x-rays to recognise tumors I think, was performing amazingly at study, better than any human could.
Later it turned out that the network trained on real life x-rays with confirmed cases, and it was looking for penmarks. Penmarks mean the photo was studied by several doctors, which mean it’s more likely to be the case that needed second opinion, which more often than not means there is a tumour. Which obviously means that if the case wasn’t studied by humans before, the machine performed worse than random chance.
That’s the problem with neural networks, it’s incredibly hard to figure out what exactly is happening under the hood, and you can never be sure about anything.
And I’m not even talking about LLM, those are completely different level of bullshit
