Evans is not having any of his bullshit lol
PS: the new Ill Conceived podcast about Aellacon is out today. I'm half-way in and it's a certified banger. I have enjoyed watching June and Josh's war on it (and Dana F.) with great pleasure.

You can’t feed generative AI on ‘bad’ data then filter it for only ‘good’ data
Look, AI will be perfect as soon as we have an algorithm to sort "truth" from "falsehood", like an oracle of some sort. They'll probably have that in GPT-5, right?

Where are the bed sheets?
Also, where are the family photos? Framed art? Kid drawings?

I'm sorry, I'm being awfully mean and petty on the internet today.

I find absolutely consistently that gen-AI advocates are literally unable to tell good output from bad output. They think people who say their output is garbage are just lying to have a go at them.

Marques Brownlee's ‘Panels’ Backlash, Explained
I use subscription services to get the best letters of the alphabet.
For example, I use WinnrWinnrChicknDinnr to get access to the letter W (upper AND lower case!) for only $69 a month!
No idea why they needed my SSN, but look I'm not some pleb that uses free letters.

So You Think You've Awoken ChatGPT: LWer tries to talk fellow LWers down
Those comments are appalling. good god
Maybe its because I'm descended from hillbilly dirt farmers and so I had an unusually grounded upbringing, but I'm floored that so many educated people can be so lost in cloud cuckoo land.
It feels unreal, or maybe like an out-of-control prank. The sort of thing that drives a man to develop a curly mustache and paint melty clocks.
Part of me still refuses to believe that they're serious.

It's crazy how these guys will burn billions of dollars and boil the oceans to speak to their invisible friends, when all you really need is a tea candle and 3 cc of mouse blood.
