I can't see how that would it be porn either, it's nudity. There's nudity in the Sixtine chapel and I would find it hilarious if it was considered porn.

I'm confused by people replying to the bot, as if the bot would learn from this like a person.

Technically it will since this interaction will be commented a lot online which will feed back in the next models training runs

It's one infinitesimally small data point that can't be expected to move the needle.

Maybe if this becomes the standard response it would. But it seems like a ban would serve the same effect as the standard response because that would also be present in the next training runs.


I'm not sure that's true. While it obviously won't impact the general behavior of the models much If you get a very similar situation the model will likely regurgitate something similar to this interaction.

I am also profoundly confused as to why people are arguing/engaging with a bot.

Thanks, I came here to check if this comment had already been posted and was not disappointed.

Care to enlighten the rest of us on the inside joke here?


Thank you! Such an apt reference. Made my day

but one can choose not to use a device which is tracked, I cannot opt out of other people's cameras.

These devices are very few in reality. One reason why I keep investing in almost every company that makes a Linux based smartphone. Still need the 2FA and digital magazine for the loo.

Even large retails install bluetooth tracking in their buildings now. Was interviewing for one of them and they ask what you would use that style of tracking for to support the consumer. Giving the consumer a reason to use it helps validate and maximize the meta data.


Just FYI, I was mildly confused by the name, as "ulti" is the name of a traditional Hungarian card game. I doubt this will ever confuse anyone else but I thought it was a fun name clash.

I think this opens a huge can of further questions: what is a Stephen King? Is it a best selling author who's a house name, a very successful genre author, one who spans genres and is successful in all of them, one whose' books get regularly translated to TV, a very good craftman of books that people actually read...

My feeling is that there isn't and _won't be_ a new Stephen King that checks all the boxes, due to declining readership and reduced barriers to independent publishing.


"Apt Pupil" was also adapted as a movie tho not as good as the other two, imvho.

Fun fact Apt pupil has a reference to Shawshank where the main character says he lives off stocks that a banker setup named Dufresne who went to prison for murdering his wife.

King does this all the time in his stories having character connections across different novels, making them set in the same universe. Fun, adds some depth to all of it. Like Randal Flagg being the same villain in the Stand and the Dark tower and Eyes of the Dragon.


And the MC from 11/22/63 meeting the characters from It, and feeling Pennywise's presence.

He took it a bit too far with Harry Potter, Spiderman, and Star Wars

the italian dubbing was named "le ali della libertà" (the wings of freedom), which is one of the rare cases where I agree with using a different name than the original, since nobody would have clue what "Shawshank" means.

No one in the US knows, either. It’s a fictional prison and its name means nothing except to people already familiar with the story.

“The Shawshank Redemption” is a nonsense phrase in English.

“Shawshank” sounds like a place name, but why a specific place would be the source of redemption is mysterious.

The name of the source text, “Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption” is even more mysterious and unclear.


The EU had wind + solar overtake fossil fuels last year too.

Fossil fuels are now less than 30% of electricity generation.

Alas, there's a ton more burning which is not electricity, but progress is undeniable

The US did too, despite Trump trying to block it.

What does "wasted" mean in this context?

It means that it doesn't generate any mechanical work, it's wasted as heat not captured for any other productive purpose (since waste heat can be useful in some contexts).

It's a measure of efficiency.


i assume heat since most energy in an ICE engine is wasted to heat (~60% wasted iirc)
