Definitely not how that works. All companies are taxed and they don’t get any special representation outside lobbying that they were going to do either way and churches do in fact put a lot of the money they should have payed in taxes into lobbying.

Is fire an invention? I feel like it is something that happens to us wether we like it or not.

I never thought of him being immune to Sauron as him being powerful. He is just like the the hobbits but to its fullest. Bombadil is perfectly content with his own existence and there is nothing for the ring to tempt him with.

Natural resources it the prime example. I think all natural resources should exclusively be under democratic control and all profits from the sale of naturals resources goes exclusively to the government. Developed land like private housing gets complicated fast but ideally things should work like things work now but the government fulfills the functions of a landlord.

Nobody should be allowed to own land. You can build a building and that building is yours because you built it but you can’t make land and the only reason you own it is because someone in the past used violence to take it.

It is normal for features to be delayed in their launch. This feature has already been launched. I know it has been launched because for two days every rightoid grifter bragged about the money that was paid out in order to boost subscriptions for Elon. This is a case of not paying your bills. That is not normal, that is usually a Herald for bankruptcy.

He doesn’t want to and it would be really bad for him to involve his personal wealth in the company. They need to be separate when twitter goes bankrupt. It is also very unclear what his actual wealth is.

I am seriously starting to wonder if this is just mental illness manifesting. It all feels a bit manic.

When I saw this post I thought to myself, this is going to have that crazy tankie writing essays in the comments, and here you are!

Go outside! Being a brain in a vat that rants on social media does not help the revolution.

Sorry, I thought we were having a discussion when we were supposed to just be smug cunts. I will correct my behaviour in the future.

We have people that assign numerical values to peoples ability to read and write every day. They are english teachers. They test all kinds of stuff like vocabulary, reading comprehension and grammar and in the end they assign grades to those skills. I don’t even need tiny professors in my pocket, they are just out there being teachers to children of all ages.

One of the task I have chatGPT was to name and describe 10 dwarven characters. Their names have to be adjectives like grumpy but the description can not be based on him being grumpy. He has to be something other than grumpy.

ChatGPT wrote 5 dwarves that followed the instructions and then defaulted to describing each dwarf based on their name. Sneezy was sickly, yawny was lazy and so on. This gives a score of 5/10 on the task I gave it.

There is a tapestry of clever tests you can give it with language in focus to test the ability of a natural language model without giving it a bunch of numbers.

Possible scenario. We can’t know about the internal motivations of OpenAI unless they tell us and I haven’t seen any statements from them outside the fact that they don’t care if it’s bad at math.

I think it’s a lazy way of doing it. OpenAI has clearly stated that math isn’t something that they are even trying to make it good at. It’s like testing how fast Usain bolt is by having him bake a cake.

If chatgpt is getting worse at math it might just be a side effect of them making it better at reading comprehension or something they want it to be good at there is no way to know that.

Measure something it is supposed to be good at.

Stop making a language model do math? We have already have calculators.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulla_(seal) Some sourcery for you.

I am not an expert on this and it’s just my understanding from general history things.

I think wax seals were a big part of it. If you have a ring you can make a bunch of wax seals but it’s really hard to make a copy of the ring from a wax seal. Give each general a document with the royal seal on it and the next time they get an order with the royal seal you can compare it with the seal you already have. If you use the wax seal to close the letter so that you need to break the wax to open the letter you can be fairly certain that the one with the ring that wrote it and that nobody else has opened it.

I also think chains of commands is important. King gives letter to messenger Steve. Steve then gives it to Dave and Dave knows who Steve is so he trust the message. Dave then gives it to Rodney and Rodney gives it to a Lord. Each person knows who the person they are getting a message from is so the chain is trusted. Should Ivan kill Dave and try to give a fake message to Rodney they Rodney would just go “where the fuck is dave” and not deliver the message.

Yeah, not everyone hates commercials. Some people are cucks.

Would you like to make an example of a good comment that you disagree with? Because in my world comments that I disagree with are bad comments. If they were good comments I would agree with them. I am not some teacher grading essays and giving points for good structure.

Its both. It will never, not be both. This idea that there should be some rule that we have to up vote things that we disagree with because it’s well written is cope from people that needs to go outside.

Comments get downvoted because it failed to convince people to agree with the comment and that makes it a bad comment.

This was bullshit the first 2000 times it was posted to reddit and it’s still bullshit here.
