Wow, it's almost like that's an obvious and fundamental limitation of the technology or something.

It's darkly funny that they are plainly giving up the game here while seemingly not getting it at all. Of course LLMs can't be better than the data they're trained to imitate in the first place. That's not news. Just about any layperson who's experienced science fiction in the last fifty years could have told you: If you want to create something more intelligent than humans, you need some mechanism of introspection that allows the system to refine and improve itself with minimal outside intervention. Some kind of artificially created... what was the word again... oh, yeah. Intelligence.

Plot twist: you are the little spoon and you're trying to wash yourself

question your assumption that you need to respond in the first place. You have no obligation to spend your energy on the "troll or functionally illiterate person" coin flip. to put it another way...

What I want is to say something that quickly quarantines the misreading comment in people's minds so the misreading doesn't infect the entire thread.

if for the sake of example we ignore the possibility that your writing actually was unclear or ambiguous, then for the misreading to "infect the entire thread", the other readers would have to have similarly poor reading comprehension, right? that or they're putting little enough effort in not to catch the original response being way off base. if that's the case, is it really that important how you are perceived?

This is like 80% accurate yeah

To shreds, you say?

shame is dead for the most part in pseudonymous spaces but people would be a lot more considerate if there were some actual consequences

well, that article disagrees with you though. That "feature" is only going to do anything to Windows installations.

Also, OS doesn't matter if it's a bios update.

The ASUS UEFI firmware exposes an ACPI table to Windows 10, called "WPBT" or "Windows Platform Binary Table". WPBT is used in the pre-built OEM industry, and is referred to as "the Vendor's Rootkit." Put simply, it is a script that makes Windows copy data from the BIOS to the System32 folder on the machine and execute it during Windows startup - every single time the system is booted.

The rules don't say the headline needs to be funny, just that it needs to be plausibly mistaken for The Onion.

There is quite a spectrum of "This is just depressing enough that I'm not sure it's real" these days

Let's hope your username doesn't become relevant.

Give them a little credit, they were only five lines away from a bullseye in their second example. That's much closer to accurate than their overall comprehension of my post was
