I just spent some time on Claude 3, and I see how it can be considered ‘better’ than GPT4, however I quickly found that it tends to lie about itself in subtle ways. When I called it out on an error it would say things like ‘I’ll strive to be better’. I called it out on the fact that it’s model doesn’t grow or change based on conversations it has and that it’s impossible for it to strive to do anything outside of, maybe, that chat. It then went on to show me that it couldn’t even adjust within that chat by doing the same thing 5 more times in 5 different ways.

I see the model it used for the apologies (acknowledge, apologize, state intent to do better in the future) which is appropriate for people or beings capable of learning, but it is not. I went from having a good conversation with it about a poem I wrote to being weirdly grossed out by it. GPT does a good job of not pretending to be human, and I appreciate that.

And what does it actually mean?

That’s p interesting and something I could see myself doing.

How’s the revenue steam for you?

The big one is that it introduces ads while Lemmy is an ad-free platform, and the option to pay to remove ads isn’t regionalized, so for some people it’s wildly expensive to buy. There’s also some question about some of the permissions.

Just because it’s marketed as a meat thermometer doesn’t mean it doesn’t have other excellent uses. I use mine for everything from meat to making sure my tap water is the exact right temp for aquarium water changes.

I’ve come to appreciate the cold water.

Nope.

But I got lucky with a really chill cat. Like, ‘doesn’t mind having his claws trimmed’ chill.

I prefer open, but I got a cat a few months ago that won’t leave me alone if I leave it open. So, closed.

Finally made the switch today.

That’s a good point. She popped up after she changed my contact info to my new name, which I updated on FB a few weeks ago.

Though it did happen with another girl I was talking to last year and haven’t talked to since.

Or Facebook recommending people that I’ve talked to by text and never met irl (met on dating app, moved to text, fizzled out) when it’s not supposed to have access to my contacts.

I know this is a meme but I’m legit wondering if this is what people thought the movie was conveying.

Wefwef is a web app that is a near carbon copy of Apollo. It’s how I’m browsing and it’s great. Much better than the web interface.

It’s wild seeing the difference in number of votes and comments today compared to the last week or so since I signed up.

Thanks for the invite but I prefer my bowels not impacted lol.

ahhh, i didn’t realize it was a challenge. thought it was just a shitpost lol.

i had to leave to take my dog to the vet… what’d i miss?

I’m wondering the same

when i was a christian there was this story that would be told that went something like this:

“one day a kid was caught by their parent doing something they knew they weren’t supposed to do. it was just a small thing with no real consequences, but it was against the rules of the house and therefore the kid was being disobedient. when the parent confronted the kid about the behavior the kid argued that it was harmless and that it was ok. the parent, seeing an opportunity to teach the kid a lesson, said ‘ok’ and left. several hours later the parent called the kid into the kitchen where they’d made brownies. the parent offered the kid a brownie who readily accepted. as the kid reached for a brownie the parent stopped them and said ‘oh, but first you should know, theres a small piece of cat poop in there, but it’s ok, it’s just a small piece and i put it in that corner over there’. the kid reeled in disgust and said they didn’t want the brownies anymore. ‘why?’ the parent inquired, ‘it’s just a small piece and won’t hurt anyone as long as they stay away from that small corner’. the kid, then realized the importance of obedience in every way.”

total bullshit story, but like all christian bullshit there’s a kernel of truth in there. one small nazi ruins the whole batch of brownies.

Others don’t realise you don’t need to have an account on an instance to access it lol.

this, i think, is going to be the biggest hurdle for getting people to join the fediverse. we need seamless ways to view and subscribe to magazines on other instances than our own. either that or we need one to get big enough that it simply eats the smaller instances.
