It looks like @koraro@lemmy.world isn’t around any more, so I guess it’s unmoderated around here (aside from the LW admins).

Can’t the/a bot post here where everyone’s already subbed? If you give me a bit of time, I could get one written.

I’m not understanding why that’s an appropriate name, but maybe I need to learn more about butterflies.

It feels like a long time since we’ve had fresh Taskmaster, I’m impatient for it to start again.

The article says that Jason Mantzoukas knows the series really well - I hope that includes knowing that the contestants who prioritise winning over being entertaining all seem to later regret it! To be fair, I think chaos is entertaining so all should be well.

Tbh, I don’t think you really understand how the non-rhotic accent works. In this case, the /r/ would be fully pronounced, as it would be at the start of a word. Say bread, elongate the r and skip the ed part and you have what it sounds like.

If you’re very used to hearing the bunched r, the British version still might sound softer, but even in the USA (where most people use bunched r) it’s still common to hear an r made with the tip of the tongue behind the teeth (upper or lower).

I’m ignoring the other r sounds, but you do find a lot of them across the various regional English accents.

This is a great example - it kinda makes sense if you skim read it but butterflies have nothing to do with butter, just like hotdogs have nothing to do with dogs.

FiveSixEleven downvotes and counting…

LLMs are already being used for policy making, business decisions, software creation and the like. The issue is bigger than summarisers, and “hallucinations” are a real problem when they lead to real decisions and real consequences.

If you can’t imagine why this is bad, maybe read some Kafka or watch some Black Mirror.

My friends would probably say something like “I’ve never heard that one, but I guess it means something like …”

The problem is, these LLMs don’t give any indication when they’re making stuff up versus when repeating an incontrovertible truth. Lots of people don’t understand the limitations of things like Google’s AI summary* so they will trust these false answers. Harmless here, but often not.

* I’m not counting the little disclaimer because we’ve been taught to ignore smallprint from being faced with so much of it

I found that trying “some-nonsense-phrase meaning” won’t always trigger the idiom interpretation, but you can often change it to something more saying-like.

I also found that trying in incognito mode had better results, so perhaps it’s also affected by your settings. Maybe it’s regional as well, or based on your search result. And, as AI’s non-deterministic, you can’t expect it to always work.

And it’s can’t bear to (bear as in carry, not bare as in nude).

A lot of the discussion is about kinds of locking mechanisms. I think it’s posted in the right place.

“We think this feature is best used when talking with groups where you may not know everyone closely but are nevertheless sensitive in nature,”

Sounds like Meta wants to be used for the next Houti strike coordination group chat.

The title does seem to suggest that it’s weird that it’s a 1940s car when it’s actually the least surprising option, besides no car at all.

Monday is the easy day, right? I’ll still take it.

I didn’t think it sounded anything like him and then saw that it was Brent Spiner’s voice.

Iron Sky counts, right? Its budget is a bit high but it’s a B-movie and it knows it.

The comments suggest it’s false positives instead of a leak but worth keeping an eye on, thanks.

Everyone complained about the nonsensical AI version, so now we have a sane version to share. This is a good thing.

I saved this to read the replies and am sad there aren’t any.

On the other hand, it reminded me that I bought but never read Because Internet: Understanding the New Rules of Language by Gretchen McCulloch, so that’s nice.
