I refuse to believe this isn’t an AT-ST.

This is entirely correct, and it’s deeply troubling seeing the general public use LLMs for confirmation bias because they don’t understand anything about them. It’s not “accidentally confessing” like the other reply to your comment is suggesting. An LLM is just designed to process language, and by nature of the fact it’s trained on the largest datasets in history, practically there’s no way to know where this individual output came from if you can’t directly verify it yourself.

Information you prompt it with is tokenized, run through a transformer model whose hundreds of billions or even trillions of parameters were adjusted according to god only knows how many petabytes of text data (weighted and sanitized however the trainers decided), and then detokenized and printed to the screen. There’s no “thinking” involved here, but if we anthropomorphize it like that, then there could be any number of things: it “thinks” that’s what you want to hear; it “thinks” that based on the mountains of text data it’s been trained on calling Musk racist, etc. You’re talking to a faceless amalgam unslakably feeding on unfathomable quantities of information with minimal scrutiny and literally no possible way to enforce quality beyond bare-bones manual constraints.

There are ways to exploit LLMs to reveal sensitive information, yes, but you have to then confirm that sensitive information is true, because you’ve just sent data into a black box and gotten something out. You can get a GPT to solve the sudoku puzzle, but you can’t then parade that around before you’ve checked to make sure the puzzle is correct. You cannot ever, under literally any circumstance, trust anything a generative AI creates for factual accuracy; at best, you can use it as a shortcut to an answer which you can attempt to verify.

Oh god, it’s real.

The fact this comment is so low means one of three things:

• A shocking amount of /c/news readers have a subscription to The Wall Street Journal
• A shocking amount of /c/news readers interact in the comments without reading the article first
• A shocking amount of /c/news readers already know you can use archive.today to bypass paywalls (based tbh)

I’m just waiting for Denny’s Applebee’s Max.

Thank fuck, honestly. What a stupid fucking name; took them long enough.

Honestly a good rule to live by. If it were really that outstandingly annoying, they’d just say what it is in the title knowing that it would drive clicks from people who would think “Oh my god, I hated that!”

!!! Bell peppers are the thing I knew was there but couldn’t think of! I thought about chickpeas but didn’t know how I felt texture-wise, but as long as there’s a bunch of stuff in there like you suggest, I bet it’d work really well.

We don’t target hospitals.

And if we do, it’s not that bad.

And if it is, that’s not a big deal.

And if it is, that’s not our fault.

And if it is, we don’t mean it.

And if we do, the savages deserve it.

Nah, next time I would probably just report communities like that to instance admins to hopefully have a better effect. The broader point is that engagement with disinformation doesn’t work; it amplifies it. It’s why the far-right has surged globally: negative engagement with disinformation is engagement and fuels its reach, and disinformation is an order of magnitude easier to create than it is to debunk.

Yes, but: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandolini's_law

Hi, Jet. I didn’t see this until now since maybe pings don’t transfer between instances? Yep, I mass-downvoted the posts in those communities you run (I read every one of them before downvoting looking for anything even vaguely medically sound), because everything I saw existed solely to spread health disinformation in the form of the so-called “carnivore diet”. It’s interesting you didn’t mention what those three communities are: a carnivore community you run, a community for “metabolic health” you run, and a ketogenic community you run. What you also failed to mention is that all of the posts were yours. Only you post to these cesspits; they’re your own little microblog wall instead of a community, and they exist solely as a platform for you to spread known health disinformation. Meaningfully engaging on those communities would only add fuel to the dumpster fire you’ve created, like how engaging with other types of crackpot only amplifies their message.

The carnivore diet is widely debunked pseudoscientific nonsense which directly contradicts the continually strengthening scientific consensus that reducing animal products promotes better long-term health and which is well-known to considerably elevate the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and cancer compared to a typical omnivorous diet. Full disclosure: I’m a vegan, and obviously I don’t like this on ethical grounds, but what you’re doing ethically to the animals or the environment isn’t all that much worse than a typical western omnivorous diet; I care, but if this were about my pro-animal activism, I would post on /c/vegan and have 10x the impact for animal ethics than I could downvoting niche communities. No, what this is about is that you’re slowly killing yourself through your delusions (fine) and then trying to trick other people to follow suit by couching your claims in half-truths and the medicalese analogue of a sovereign citizen’s legalese.

There is no clinical evidence that the carnivore diet provides any health benefits.[3][17][18] Dietitians dismiss the carnivore diet as an extreme fad diet,[3][4] which has attracted criticism from dietitians and physicians as being potentially dangerous to health (see Meat § Health).[15][17][18]

It also raises levels of LDL cholesterol, which increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.[4] While carnivore diets exclude fruits and vegetables which supply micronutrients, they are also low in dietary fiber, possibly causing constipation.[4][7][5] A carnivore diet high in red meat increases the risks of colon cancer and gout.[7][31][32] The high protein intake of a carnivore diet can lead to impaired kidney function.[33]

Hilariously, this is a generous summary: Wikipedia is almost too brief about these health problems (and excludes some), and as more people like you follow this fad diet, information is likely to keep coming out about how badly it wrecks your long-term health. Unlike you, I’m a vegan for ethical reasons, and so I take health information about my diet as it comes: B12, iron, and zinc deficiency substantially more likely in vegans? Cool. Vitamin D and calcium? Cool. More likely to fracture a bone? Cool. Harder to get a good daily intake of protein (~0.8–1.0g/kg)? Cool. Harder to get lysine for a complete protein? Cool. Dairy fat intake may lower all-cause mortality? Cool. I recognize these, try to compensate for them in my own diet, and also recognize the numerous health benefits of a PBD (especially with whole foods), but I loudly advertise pros and cons to people looking at veganism for their health. I almost always recommend the Mediterranean diet and DASH alongside a plant-based one if someone is concerned only about their health. If I can be intellectually honest about the science in spite of a deeply held ethical philosophy making me want a plant-based diet to be near-universally followable, I expect you to be able to do the same for your fad.

What’s especially troubling is that sometimes you’re taking real public health problems – ultra-processed foods, refined grains, hyperpalatable foods loaded with sugar, etc. – and using that to manufacture opportunistic FUD: “Oh, this isn’t the fault of imbalanced diets full of trash; my fad diet is the only way to fix it”. I would’ve done the same thing if someone started /c/smokingsaves and talked about how smoking a pack a day is great for your health and in fact the decline in smoking is what’s elevating cancer diagnoses. Your trash is federated to Lemmy.World, where Rule 8.1 prohibits health disinformation; it’s also just completely disgusting to spread it in the first place. You’re more than welcome to downvote all of my posts in /c/vegan (if I try to run to the LW admins claiming harassment, link them to this comment), except unlike you, I do my best not to platform pseudoscientific horseshit.

They should end in the style of the author’s notes from the fanfic My Immortal instead.

For comparison, if you had a deck of 52 playing cards and shuffled them into a random order, then checked a year later to see if they were in the same order as when you opened the box, reshuffled if they weren’t, and repeated another year later, and so on…

We can use the cumulative distribution function of the geometric distribution 1 - (1 - p)^k, where p is the per-trial probability and k is the number of trials, to find the chance that you’ll find at least one correctly sorted deck from now until the time in this paper. There’s a… Well, SageMath failed because of the exponent, but Wolfram Alpha tells me, uhhhhh…

Yeaaaaaaaaah, we’re not going anywhere any time soon.

We both agree the AI slop is bad. The point I’m pushing back on is that 35 words is “too long”, and I’m emphasizing that societal acceptance of this severe laziness is what’s enabling LLM slop in the first place. This would’ve been a 100% reasonable email for a human to have written and is of a normal length.

Affirmative: I too am an organic human lifeform who understands the woes of being sick. beep boop And to that I say: Literally. Ten. Seconds. Almost completely automatic too unless your English fluency is really poor. Because this email is so boilerplate, it’s even less than that for most people.

>35 words

>average reading speed is about 200 wpm

>approximately 10.5 seconds of reading

>all them words

Profound laziness and inattention like this is exactly the type of attitude that makes people think LLM slop is acceptable. We are so fucking cooked; holy shit. Concision might be better in this specific case, but act like an adult.
