Why a private company is investigating rapes at an ICE detention center instead of the sheriff

We all know why.

Honey Bee

is the bee that needs help the most

I'd argue the opposite. There are thousands species of solitary native bees in small niches that need help way more. By contrast honey bees are either livestock or feral livestock that are competing with the native bees.

I'll admit, this isn't how I thought the AI bubble would pop.

BTW this is one of the sites where if you quickly stop the page loading it will break the "subscribe nag" bit and the whole article will be shown.

TIL that I've been using "star crossed lovers" wrong my entire life. I thought it meant fated lovers.

It's not so much "Yucking someones yum" so much as "I think such a large age gap is going to be a big strain on this relationship. But if you wanna... fine." Like, one of these people was born around when 9-11 occurred and the other was born around the time when Pac-Man was the new hot game in arcades and these "CD" things were starting to catch on for music storage. That's quite a generational gap.

However, they're both old enough to both know the what they're doing... and maybe it will all work out. Thus my "They’re both old enough to know better" comment. Maybe they're star crossed lovers and it will all work out... but in the end, it's a case of "Not my circus, not my monkeys".

Whatever. They're both old enough to know better.

There's something to be said for a computer that's as dumb as a calculator.

Man, it sure didn't take long to pivot from "We need to invade Iran to protect those poor protestors from their evil government" to "Bomb 'em back to the stone age".

How strange. It's almost like Trump didn't have the best intentions of the Iranian people at heart from the get go.

As always, the United States' number one export is rightwing crazy.

I mean we've seen Alex Jones with a "Naughty tbabe" tab open on his phone.

 

So firstly sorry if this isn't a appropriate post for this community, but I had a shower thought a few days back.

LLM's have gotten sufficiently advanced that they can usually detect Markov (or randomly) generated text even when it's fed into the front end. As such, it seems likely that most "AI" companies either have or will have some sort of pre-screening pass to "clean" the raw data crawled from the internet. Heck, I'm sure they're filtering the data with a AI detection algorithm too.

However, there was this conspiracy parody site a while back called "Verified Facts". The sites down now and something that wanted to install a Firefox extension, so don't go there. Luckily there are many instances of pages still on archive.org to get an idea for what sort of stuff it generated. And I was thinking, this is some (mostly) grammatically correct, constantly on point drivel that would probably bypass both Markov and AI detectors.

So it seems like if you were going to make an "AI tar pit" you'd get much better results with one that tricks the AI into ingesting auto generated Madlib pages filled out with a list of randomly picked words.
