Yes hello retards, LLMs are utter fucking trash that are nothing but hallucinations that align with reality only coincidentally. Pointing one at a legal bill and asking it "where is the POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRK" will yield exactly the same results as pointing one at a code base and asking it "where are the security issues?"

It will lie in a plausible way, and then retards will believe it, and cause issues for anyone with at least half a brain by making plausible sounding complaints that require actual time and effort to research and discover they're all bullshit.

I hope both of you die immediately.

They are bad at lots of stuff but pretty darn good at summarizing shit which is really all you need to cut a bill down to a more comprehensible size. It won't do all the work but it can make the job a lot easier.

It's easy enough to figure out when earmarks for specific districts are all itemized and spelled out. The problem is the people in those districts who we need to vote them out all support their own pork projects, it's always everyone else's project that's pork. It's always all the other Congressmen who are the problem, not mine. Mine brings home the bacon!

This is why it will never change. They've done polls for 30 years showing Congress has a 20% approval rating, and yet people vote their own guy in every time.

38 Republicans were against the latest CR.
All but 2 Democrats were against the latest CR.

Guess which party will be blamed if there is a government shutdown and ruining Christmas.
Click to expand...
Why does it matter? After the results of the election why do people think a government shutdown would provoke much of an outcry at all? This is kinda what we voted for.

The point that really needs to be hammered home is that Trump isn't President yet, Biden and this lame-duck Congress should own all of this mess.

There is a reason.

During WWII alot of men were under weight, this was due to poor nutrition.

Of course the lunch program is basically a grift and has been for decades but you can easily have a positive effect.

Or to devople my point further, the best resource a civilization has is it s people and having a bunch of sick stupid people is a bad thing.
Click to expand...
A bunch of sick, stupid people is already the norm. The way things are now just keeps them stupid, or on life support.

But they're very good at summarizing, which is what was suggested. It can at least tell you where to look. People who think LLM's are useless are retarded and also people who think they're magic.

Great, a retarded libertarian who thinks that banning inventors from profiting off of their inventions won’t cripple innovation.
Click to expand...
Shit, now I'm a (((libertarian))) too? Am I also a Marxist, or just a lolbert to you?

Do you disagree with Thomas Jefferson and John Locke in my previous post?

quaawaa said:
Without patents, an individual inventor won’t be able to commercialize their invention because a mega corporation with established manufacturing and no R&D costs will just undercut them the second it gains traction in the market.
Click to expand...
Is that why nothing was ever invented before patents. Somebody should have thought of patents sooner. Good thing we have patents or mega corporations would dominate the market.

quaawaa said:
Why would anyone want to put in the effort to invent something new when a “rent seeker” can just steal their invention and get even richer off of it?
Click to expand...
Do you even know what economic rent-seeking is? Is the argument in this paragraph that patents are needed in order to stop "rent seekers" from stealing non-corporeal ideas from inventors so the "rent seekers" don't get even richer?

quaawaa said:
There are already plenty of real world examples of what a world with no IP laws looks like. China steals tech from the West and undercuts the original inventor as a result, China’s economy has grown while their victims’ have shrunk and they haven’t invented anything since the ancient Four Great Inventions of paper, gunpowder, the compass, and printing. They cope with their Four New Inventions (high speed rail, mobile payments, e-commerce, and bike sharing), none of which were invented in China or are “great” inventions.

How about Germany in the 19th Century?

Or, you know, any time in the history of humanity before patents were a thing.

A culture with no IP laws has no innovation. Just admit you want to pirate movies without feeling bad about yourself.

"A culture with no IP laws has no innovation."
Ancient Greeks, no innovation.
Romans, no innovation.
Renaissance Italy, no innovation.

"Just admit you want to pirate movies without feeling bad about yourself."
I'm not watching some Hollywood-slop. The few films I do watch I could legally acquire from my local library (that den of theft and buccaneering). I pirate from libgen, scihub, and zarchive thank-you-very-much.

Not that the US healthcare/health insurance system doesn't need reform, it clearly does.

But socialized medicine would just turn all these administrators from private middle-managers into DMV tier government employees.
Click to expand...
Exactly. This is what @FieldPiece and others arguing for more government overreach don't get.

The reason that Healthcare System is like what it is is because of more and more government overreach and emboldening of the managerial class.
Through the not-so-secret Regulations market and artificial propping up of Big Pharma, we have our current system.

Plus, it's not like socialized Healthcare systems work anyway.
The supposed shining beacon of socialized Healthcare, Canada, is currently is killing off patients just because they cost too much.

They are not, they lose context extremely quickly, and their only success criteria is being plausible to a layman. Have you ever tried Slack AI? Notion's AI summary? Youtube's automatic "what the fuck are chat on about" AI?

They're not entirely useless. They're a fun party trick for cheap entertainment to riff off, like Neuro-sama, or LLM D&D. Using them for anything serious is beyond retarded.

Can we go back to electing people that make bluehairs seethe and killing CEOs please? You know, stuff that actually matters.

It is such a contraction that on Fox News you have a news article blaring the debt calculator right next to one explaining why entirely removing the debt ceiling for Trump is justified. I mean this is comical, it really is.
Click to expand...
The current debt ceiling expires right when Trump is sworn in so if it's not increased he won't be able to do anything. We want the deportations to start right? That isn't going to be cheap up-front.
