If you're seriously thinking about decidability of your research questions then you're either 1. a logician or 2. in big trouble.

Shocked to hear that a speaker failed to explain the intuition behind a very specific math concept

What is the point of these LaTeX editors with a chatbot built in. To help search for references? If you aren't familiar with a reference, you shouldn't be citing it (if it even exists). And if you haven't thought carefully about how it relates to what you're doing, IT IS NOT REALLY A CITATION. 🧪

Almost 4000 people have done this quiz so far, although younger groups still under-represented in case you know anyone who'd like to give it a go and see how they compare to others! probability.kucharski.io

Bilbo looking at his phone top on bottom is ChatGPT After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it? You're absolutely right — you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.

Tweet exchange in which a photo of Anne Hathaway is posted by @TheRoyalSerf, to which user @VvSchweetz24 replies "@grok...do your thing. @Grok replies: Anne Hathaway isn't Jewish; she was raised Catholic but left the church. She married Adam Shulman (who is Jewish) in 2012 and celebrates Jewish holidays with their kids. SHe's played Jewish roles, like in "Armageddon Time."

pretty sure he meant the other thing, grok, but very cool that those are your two things

Making these things un-turn-off-able is an extremely fundamental core component of the entire industry. It is the same reason you cannot choose between buying yoghurt with single-use plastic or without it.

You cannot fabricate demand for a wasteful, harmful thing without making it mandatory

I seriously don't understand how people take credit for llm generated stuff. A colleague showed me some AI generated code with AI generated comments and said "I wrote comments with how it works". He meant he asked Chatgpt to add a comment describing how it works

Everybody thinks 'https:// stands for 'hypertext transfer protocol secure' but it actually stands for 'head to this place, sucka' followed by a colon and two laser sounds

discord is asking everybody about how they feel about AI. have at it folks

I have to confess that I'm actually kind of looking forward to Trump getting Machado's Nobel Peace Prize, because it's going to be unbelievably humiliating for both of them and will completely remove all value either one was getting from it

Trump: plz plz plz shiny prize 🥺🥺
Machado: plz plz plz presidency 🥺🥺

Increíble, lo que más le encantaría a EEUU es un gobierno Venezolano bien agachado y arrodillado al tío Sam. Y eso claramente lo está ofreciendo Machado pero no es suficiente para Trump porque a él le tocó contentarse con el premio FIFA en vez del Nobel

Thinking back to simpler times, when everyone was happy that the Animal Crossing dog and the guy from Doom were dating
