ah, big insights into the world of AI. Where do you think we’ll land on AGI?

Now I want an anti-AI song parody called “A Guy Instead” to the tune of the Beatle’s “I’ll Cry Instead”

Thanks for looking into it. The idea of an ethical data set large enough to train an LLM is suspicious.

From the class guide:

We ask that students do not use laptops or phones in class. Research suggests that students who do so unwittingly spend much of the time surfing the internet leading to worse educational outcomes, and that taking notes by hand is much more effective. You may use laptops during class exercises, and you may also use a tablet to take notes.

lol

I think this sub might be satirical and that this post is under that umbrella, investigating!

Core Strategy: We define the probability of victory, PvictoryP_{\text{victory}}Pvictory​, as: Pvictory=( C B A^2+ℏ∂ΨP∂t)×(Nc⋅c2)P_{\text{victory}} = \left( C B A^2 + \hbar \frac{\partial \Psi_P}{\partial t} \right) \times (Nc \cdot c^2)Pvictory​=(CBA2+ℏ∂t∂ΨP​​)×(Nc⋅c2). (Someone told me this is "LateX"? I think you need to copy it to ChatGPT to see the equation.)

Yeah it’s time to delete LaTeX. We’re done. We don’t deserve it anymore

Yeah. They are like midbosses of this side of the internet.

100%. Nostalgia is a toxic impulse.

He was right wing, after all, not to mention a cultist. His heart didn’t have the capacity for such a compassionate solution, and that’s before it was collapsed by that homemade hand-cannon.

Without going into too much detail (because I am not well read on this and am likely to be wrong about a lot of it), one of the many issues that Abe addressed during his leadership was Japan's declining birthrate. There's a bit of a conspiracy amongst many people who consume Japanese popular culture (at a deep-ish level) that Abe pushed pronatalist themes in pop culture, as well as tropes like NEETs/hikikomori escaping their isolation from society and entering romantic relationships. This has become a huge meme, where any time a romantic development happens in a manga or anime, many people are quick to say things along the lines of "Abe would be proud".

E: From the knowyourmeme page on Abe:

Japan has seen a declining birthrate and population in recent years, which has been blamed on young people in Japan being uninterested in having sex. However, due to sexual content in many anime, including shows like Darling in the Franxx whose plots seem to encourage procreation, people have joked that Abe is using anime to encourage Japanese young people to have sex and start families. These are particularly popular on Tumblr. For example, Tumblr user justintaco posted a photoshopped image of Abe superimposed on a screenshot of Darling in the Franxx, gaining over 36,000 notes (shown below, left). User freyjaofthenorth made a similar post about the anime Conception, gaining over 2,900 notes (shown below, right). There is also a mock Tumblr for Shinzo Abe devoted to this joke.

I tried being too vague to avoid giving the pronatalist couple more clout, and I guess the bit bombed.

Also: I fact checked myself and it turns out I committed the grave sin of posting old news.
