Dubious is your opinion on any subject.

Whatever your reason for saying that is, there is nothing I could possibly reply with that would make you consider any perspective I have to offer. Yet, here I go.

Al menos hablas español? O sos un chanchito del hemisferio norte jugando a revolucionario?

I understand Spanish to some degree because I have family in Colombia, but I suck at using it. I could trivially use a translation tool to help me compose a witty response, but that would change nothing.

5 M expatriates were held out of the ellection. Even with put the tallies, the ellection is a complete farse…

The fact that this is besides the point is the very point I’m making: stay. the. fuck. out. of. other. countries’. internal. politics. It’s really quite simple. Unless you are an imperialist, obviously.

It’s a statement and an intervention. Doesn’t have to be literal military aggression to qualify as meddling.

So based on suspicion, potential indications, circumstantial evidence, and bloody hopes rooted in political bias and grabby hands it must be the moral duty of the Free West to liberate all these helpless brown people that just can’t figure out how to start a revolution.

Actually, IIRC they do know how to do revolutions. I think they’ll be ok without your fat fingers in their pie, mate.

Do you think them helpless peasants that require the intervention of big brother USA whenever there is trouble?

Even if Maduro’s government is using undemocratic means to maintain power, who the fuck are the US and EU to take stances on and decide what Venezuela needs?

Let the people of Venezuela decide for themselves. Fuck’s sake.

Once. They do not have the ability to learn or adapt on their own. They are created by humans through “deep learning”, but that is fundamentally different from continuously learning based on one’s own actions and experiences.

We are prediction machines, but nothing like chatgpt. Current AI has no ability to learn, adapt, or even consider the future.

Because they have no basis on which to decide where to go. It’s like buying toothpaste but there are hundreds of options, none of which you know anything about, so you get whichever seems most popular. It minimises the risk of ending up with something which is unpopular for good reasons.

That seems like it should work in theory, but having used Perplexity for a while now, it doesn’t quite solve the problem.

The biggest fundamental problem is that it doesn’t understand in any meaningful capacity what it is saying. It can try to restate something it sourced from a real website, but because it doesn’t understand the content it doesn’t always preserve the essence of what the source said. It will also frequently repeat or contradict itself in as little as two paragraphs based on two sources without acknowledging it, which further confirms the severe lack of understanding. No amount of grounding can overcome this.

Then there is the problem of how LLMs don’t understand negation. You can’t reliably reason with it using negated statements. You also can’t ask it to tell you about things that do not have a particular property. It can’t filter based on statements like “the first game in the series, not the sequel”, or “Game, not Game II: Sequel” (however you put it, you will often get results pertaining to the sequel snucked in).

Could it be to identify you as OP?

edit: probably not; there is a different marker for that.

Thank you for this! I’ve been reluctantly using Grammarly because I thought there were no alternatives.

I’ve unironically done something like this

I see. Thanks for clarifying

You shouldn’t need to be a prompt engineer just to get answers to math questions that are not blatantly wrong. I believe the prompts are included in the paper so that you don’t have to guess if they were badly formatted.

On top of the other explanations, it’s natural that many, if not most, who decide to check out alternatives don’t stick around for various reasons.

• They might not have found the right instance for them (or even realized they were supposed to).
• They might not care enough about the new state of reddit to leave, after all.
• The communities that kept them on reddit in the first place may not exist here so they have no incentive to stick around.
• The bugs, growing pains, quirks, and rough UX might have outweighed perceived benefits.
• They may have been put off by the model or culture for whatever personal/ideological reasons.
• They might still be using fediverse platforms but isolated by fediblocks or by their own choice.

They may or may not reconsider in the future, or their usage of the internet may have changed entirely (so they’re out of the game, so to speak).

We should just keep doing what we think is best for the kind of communities we want to see emerge and thrive here. Growth for its own sake is not helpful or valuable.

I maintain #science-space:matrix.org as sort of an entry point to explore scientific communities. Then there is #non-technology:matrix.org which is even more general.

I would say merging them doesn’t make much sense, but combining them (via some multi-sub entity a user can subscribe to) would be a nice way to organise and browse/filter your subscriptions.
