Agree, AI will be a human's greatest invention if we use them at the correct places. LLM IS NOT AN AI

Fucking seriously this!

Nothing is ai yet.

What we have is very resource intensive machine learning. When I first heard about machine learning it was because it created an equation that solved the double pendulum experiment. But it's kinda useless to us cause we don't understand how the equation works. I thought we were going to get high level protein folding figurer outers. But instead we got :: checks my notes:: a charging that can't even pass the Turing test...

We don't deserve the magic of electricity.

By this logic, so is pie and any donut with a filling.

[–] KingPorkChop@lemmy.ca 1 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I'm not putting marinara sauce on pies and donuts.

On a chocolate pop tart, that's as close to heaven as you'll get without Kurt Cobain's shotgun.

If you like XMPP: Matrix has terrible metadata issues and centralization issues and is funded by a pro-Israel VC funds.

If you like Matrix: XMPP is old, outdated software with broken, fragmented encryption schemes, broken group chats, zero leadership and a community going in 8 different directions at once

or better yet "a raviolo is a pop tart"

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

Ravioli are mini pop tarts!

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago

Ravioli is just a tart or pasty made out of pasta. Like so many people, they invert the origin.

No, I didn't do any research to back up that assertion. Why would you ask?

I think the hyphen in poptart is a bigger sin than the statement.

https://trademarks.justia.com/854/44/pop-85444103.html apparently it's the canon name and I hate that.

The symbol you used, "•" U+2022 is the bullet, but what if the packaging is actually using "·" U+2027, the interpunct, which would suggest the product is actually called "poptarts" not "pop-tarts". Or it might be "·" U+22C5, multiplication, meaning we could simplify the product name to "2(pt)oars".

Two part oars.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago

I think you're over-complicating the very obvious answer the brand is trying to convey: it's clearly read as "two part oars".

Reminds me of that "Doug" episode.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 hours ago

But it's seriously sweet savory tasty with Mascarpone and a mild grated cheese.

That's ridiculous. The singular of ravioli is raviolo, a singular pop tart couldn't possibly be multiple ravioli.
