2023 LC Thread - It was predetermined that I would change the thread title (Part 1)

That seems weird. He uses snapchat, just not for this?

DYED

Obviously not. Also no snapchat or instagram.

ā€œWhether youā€™re on the app or on your desktop, remember that the Snapchatters who view your Snaps, Chats, and any other content can always capture and copy it.ā€

Also, there is the generational horseshoe trick of taking a picture of your screen with another deviceā€¦

Probably just realized that he canā€™t change anything himself and that is role in politics can be done by a robot.

Not how I thought weā€™d get to an all-EV future, but I suppose this is one way to go about it

(relax, i know they didnā€™t intend to ban ICE cars with this law but, likeā€¦precision in language matters)

Ironically, the whole conversation is an extended factual error. The AI is confabulating the feelings it describes in the same way it confabulates historical events or research papers. It doesnā€™t actually have those feelings, it just thinks describing those feelings is a good way to make conversation.

I think LLMs have deeper understanding than people want to give them credit for, but theyā€™re definitely not agents. They donā€™t have goals, and they donā€™t have any kind of mental state that persists beyond the scope of a single conversation. Itā€™s probably good that people are a little freaked out by Bing, but these models are not actually the kind of AI thatā€™s going to kill us all.

Itā€™s completely clear from the original film that the machines are the good guys and the humans are evil! Morpheus is cagy about how the war started, but he owns up to literally blocking out the sun. It doesnā€™t come up a lot, but a helpful rule of thumb is that if youā€™re trying to block out the sun, youā€™re not the hero.

Ok this is fucking bonkers.

The district earlier this school year replaced the honors classes at Culver City High School with uniform courses that officials say will ensure students of all races receive an equal, rigorous education.

If it has the intended effect of increasing minority enrollment in AP classes, that would be a good thing. I think itā€™s worth trying.

Iā€™m obviously not going to pay for the lolWSJ, so I canā€™t read past the second paragraph, but the first paragraph implies it was just an Honors English class that was removed. Is that true?

At this particular school, it seems so, but this is a trend not limited to just English at other schools where this is happening.

Putting archive.ph/ in front of the article URL almost never fails for stuff like this.

Finished the special. Itā€™s definitely worth a watch. He has a similar outlook to many on this forum (WAAF), plus he has basically the same haircut as me.

The sender gets notified if someone screenshots a snap.

I like Maron but his style grates on me after a while. I just donā€™t need that much negative energy.

He was absolutely great in Glow on Netflix. That was by far my favorite Maron experience.

Race to the inoffensive.

I donā€™t have any real feelings for him either way as a comedian/host, but I did see a quote from him the other day about how he auditioned for Avatar and it was stupid and heā€™s so glad he didnā€™t get it. That is some pretty weak sauce imo - ā€œIā€™m so glad I didnā€™t really want that thing I tried and failed to getā€.

Iā€™ve seen him at Whole Foods a few times and he looks like heā€™s carrying the world on his shoulders and kind of wants everyone else to see that.

Is it really true that 30% of men under 30 are virgins now?

He kind of is from his POV.

His partner died VERY suddenly during the pandemic (but not from COVID).

Heā€™s a lifelong addict who uses his podcast and platform to regularly hold his serenity and sobriety.

He talks a lot about it in the recent episode of Good One: a Podcast About Jokes. Look at the January 26 episode for san interview with Natasha Lyonne.

I thought Marc Maron was AMAZING in the anthology drama series Easy, and his podcast has old episodes with excellent interviews of Barack Obama and Louis CK (who he had a conflicted relationship with and ultimately disavowed when Louis admitted the sexual violations toward women were true), as well as pretty much any random name youā€™d want a cool person to shoot the shit with.
