  • How do stay up to date with clothing fashion?

    Jump

  • Using money you haven’t earned to buy things you don’t need to impress people you don’t like..

  • Why doesn't Lemmy have a back button?

    Jump

  • Because back buttons are a basic feature of web browsers.

  • Modern day miracles or bullshit machines - How to thrive in a ChatGPT world

    Jump

  • We were promised hyper-intelligent computer systems that would usher in an era of unparalleled prosperity and innovation.

    With the advent of ChatGPT, some say these modern-day oracles have arrived.

    Others say they are nothing but bullshit machines.

    Technologists and publicists gush about how Large Language Models (LLMs) will revolutionize the way we work, learn, play, communicate, create, and connect to another.

    They are right that artificial intelligence (AI) will affect nearly every aspect of our daily lives.

    And they are right that by providing a way for people to talk with machines in ordinary language, LLMs constitute a dramatic step forward in making computing accessible to everyone.

    Yet for all the good that AI systems will do, they will also saturate our information environment with bullshit at a scale we’ve never before encountered.

    "I think it's going to be the most transformative technology humanity has ever created, potentially on par with or exceeding the invention of the printing press, electricity, and the internet." Sam Altman, OpenAI CEO

    For better or for worse, LLMs are here to stay. We all read content that they produce online, most of us interact with LLM chatbots, and many of us use them to produce content of our own.

    In a series of five- to ten-minute lessons, we will explain what these machines are, how they work, and how to thrive in a world where they are everywhere.

    You will learn when these systems can save you a lot of time and effort. You will learn when they are likely to steer you wrong. And you will discover how to see through the hype to tell the difference. ?

  • Can someone change my mind about CRT and DEI?

    Jump

  • I suppose they're both highly charged and make specific points with the goal of providing illuminated information

  • Is there a site that has introductory reading lists for a wide range of subjects?

    Jump

  • Thanks

    Am in the UK so am safe from that for the time being..

  • I find it's more often than not 'heavyweight' texts, especially on history articles where really really niche researchers have books or papers on the matter. That's useful. But I'm generally more after what a professor would assign first year students as an introduction to The Romantics or English Painters. Sometimes Wikipedia has that, sometimes it has "Brush techniques employed by Turner in the summer of 1798 by Prof George Bannister, Prof Rodger Walker et al."

    Jump

  • Pretty much what I do. Sometimes I find the list isn't public or the course is more niche than in interested in.

  • Thank you, never seen that before

  • What's the biggest or most severe example of "missing the point" you've seen?

    Jump
    • People who thought Tyler Durden was cool
    • Almost everything about Starship Troopers
    • people who think Bickle (Taxi Driver) is a hero

  • Got myself some energy monitoring Zigbee plugs and made an interesting discovery

    Jump

  • Have you considered putting your gaming pc in one of the storage freezers? /s

  • Why I am not impressed by A.I.

    Jump

  • It's predictive text on speed. The LLMs currently in vogue hardly qualify as A.I. tbh..

    A Coup Is In Progress In America

    Jump

  • My history might be dusty but I don't think Hitler ever said he intended to become a dictator before people voted for him. His subsequent deception once in power is what you might refer to as the coup.

    Trump on the other hand..

    A Coup Is In Progress In America

    Jump

  • It is a coup if people vote for it?

  • Why do people think the stock market is going to crash Monday because of Trump's tariffs?

    Jump

  • A lot of market speculation is based on forecast profit. If new info = lower profits that means exit your position asap.

  • If the vacuum of space couldn't kill you and you had no suit...

    Jump

  • Probably because many pop science articles will mention that the background radiation of the universe is at about 2-3 degrees above absolute zero. Plus things like the night side of mars being freezing, pluto being a frozen rock, comets being made of ice etc...

  • Does anyone else get so tired and depressed from saying you're good when people ask how you are?

    Jump

  • Just give a number out of ten.

  • How to find project names?

    Jump

  • Places I've consulted at have typically gone through noun lists unconnected to the work. Noun lists like i) greek gods (project Perseus) ii) Roman gods (project Janus) iii) literally random nouns (project Rainbow) iv) precious stones (project Sapphire) and so on..
