Let's give Donald Trump an award,

one that is awarded posthumously

... tomorrow.

As a software developer who took an elective in neural networks - when people call LLMs stochastic parrots, that's not criticism of their results.

It's literally a description of how they work.

The so-called training data is used to build a huge database of words and the probability of them fitting together.

Stochastic because the whole thing is statistics.
Parrot because the answer is just repeating the most probable word combinations from its training dataset.

Calling an LLM a stochastic parrot is lile calling a car a motorised vehicle with wheels. It doesn't say anything about cars being good or bad. It does, however, take away the magic. So if you feel a need to defend AI when you hear the term stochastic parrot, consider that you may have elevated them to a god-like status, and that's why you go on the defense when the magic is dispelled.

My brother has had enough of Windows 11.

He really wants to keep playing his (mostly Bethesta, which don't support Linux) pirated games. He knows nothing about Linux, and I don't want to be Linux support.

Which would better support his games?

- Linux/Wine/Proton?

- Windows 7?

(Maybe Windows 10 could be a third option, but he might not like that any better than 11, considering that he upgraded from Windows 7 to 11, skipping both 8 and 10).

If Jesus actually did return, he would be sitting in an ICE concentration camp, waiting to be deported.

Meanwhile, Peter Thiel is rambling about the antichrist, as if he wasn't talking about himself.

Remembering your dead friends is NOT political.

Disqualifying someone for remembering their dead friends because the regime thaat murdered them would not like to be reminded of their crimes IS political.

The IOC is a political organization, and should be legally treated as such.
