    Sometimes it’s three places. And they all understand that they can charge whatever they want as long as they all (quietly) agree.

    Guess what. The cell phone towers they built 10-20 years ago don’t cost anywhere near $40/line to maintain. While working for one I even got an email that said we were raising prices to match our nearest competitor. (Upgrade fees in this case.)



  • Also they absolutely want the LLM to read user input and respond to it. Telling it exactly which inputs it shouldn’t respond to is tricky.

    In traditional programs this is done by “sanitizing input”, which is done by removing the special characters and very specific keywords that are generally used when computers interpret that input. But in the case of LLMs, removing special characters and reserved words doesn’t do much.


  • It’s interesting how sovcits have so recently and dramatically changed.

    There have always been a few people who thought they could somehow carve out their own territory in the middle of the United States, or that for some reason the laws wouldn’t apply to them. There have been jokes about them on the Simpsons and elsewhere.

    But it was all individual. It wasn’t this Q-Anon like conformity, and, while always ridiculous, not quite this delusional. This new sovcit thing is different and propaganda/single large cult fueled.

    It doesn’t help that the vegans are right. The meat industry is a nightmare, terrible for the environment, and pretty bad for our health.

    It’s insane that most Americans eat meat every day.

    If I could put 100% tax on meat tomorrow I would, but that’s political suicide, so it’ll never happen. It’d be easier to adjust than you think. There are plenty of delicious vegetarian options, and it’d be a lot easier to choose those if they were more common.

    I eat meat because it’s culturally acceptable, delicious, ubiquitous, and I don’t believe I can make a noticeable difference. But that doesn’t mean I think it’s right.
