Comment sections on awful.systems are similar to this Drew Gooden sketch sometimes:

It's just hard for me to give MY input when I don't even know what's going on

I was trying to call 1-800-CIA-TIPS what the hell is this

This reads like AI slop, the illustrations certainly don't help. Why are you using debate terms?? None of the claims here are exemplified or argued in any way, ironically given its "criticisms".

facepalm

Hah, I was expecting someone to think that. I wrote the thing so that at a glance the shape of text looks like it's spicy autocomplete. The text itself doesn't read like that though.

The family home was a cluttered mess. Piles of unwashed dishes covered the kitchen countertops, along with empty pizza boxes and scattered food crumbs. The living room was a maze of toys, clothes, and scattered papers, with a thick layer of dust coating the furniture. [...]

Lol at this unimaginably boring fragment of a fiction story inside of a child protection report

The Report did not find that any staff had used GenAI to generate content for sensitive work matters

Whut. Why would you lie like this?

This stuff feels like a DJ is cross-fading between the different hype cycles.

The dilema of charging the users and a solution by integrating blockchain to fediverse

First, there will be a blockchain. There will be these cryptocurrencies:

This guy is speaking like he is in Genesis 1

I guess it would be better that only the instances can own instance-specific coins.

You guess alright? You mean that you have no idea what you're saying.

if a user on lemmy.ee want to post on lemmy.world, then lemmy.ee have to pay 10 lemmy.world coin to lemmy.world

What will this solve? If 2 people respond to each other's comments, the instance with the most valuable coin will win. What does that have to do with who caused the interaction?

The paper is so bad...

the agent's policy π ... the environment ε

What is up with AI papers using fancy symbols to notate abstract concepts when there isn't a single other instance of the concept to be referred to

They offer a bunch of tables with numbers in a metric that isn't explained, showing that they are exactly the same for "random" and "agent" policy, in other words, inputs don't actually matter! And they say they want to use these metrics for training future versions. Good luck.

For the sample size they are using 60% seems like a statistically significant rate, and they only tested at most 3 seconds after real gameplay footage.

Sidenote: Auto-regressive models for much shorter periods are really useful for when audio is cutting out. Those use really simple math, they aren't burning any rainforests

I'm willing to retract my statement that these guys don't have any ulterior motives.

Late Tuesday, Ball told CoinDesk the foundation would retain 50% of its staff. "Morale is much higher now," he said.

50% of their staff were optimists I guess?

While he said the team is making no commitments, they are leaning toward Base, the network developed by crypto exchange powerhouse Coinbase that is known for its low fees.

"I chose this suburban house because of the low taxes" "The roads are so bad, where are my taxes going to?"

people who want to get out have a very liquid way to get out, but they all need to squeeze through the same small hole.

First off, ew. Second, isn't this the same as all crypto?

Eugh, the author has an anime pfp at the bottom

Even if it was waste, the sellers would notice and start charging for it. Libertarians have a fucked up definition of what 'waste' also with bitcoin mining.

Aaaand, there it is.

I remember I used to watch this guy's videos, and the icon for the image viewer in serenity was pepe the frog. And he also admitted to browsing 4chan. And he changed his twitter link to x.com before even twitter changed it. Also it was kinda weird that he had some private discord channels whose contents he was very secretive of. Now that he's making a nonprofit with github's former CEO, there is absolutely zero barriers to the exact same bullshit from all the companies he complains about.
