Luis von Ahn says criticism over strategy change shows ‘anxiety’ about technology replacing jobs

Motherfucker, you’re the one that fired slews of employees to be replaced by text-prediction algorithms. It’s not “anxiety”, you’re fucking doing it.

Is that…Seth Rogen? Wtf? XD

This is gonna be a travesty.

Maybe ask them to block your account? That would keep them from seeing anything you talk about, though it’d also block any other communication here if that’s a problem.

His right about one thing - they’re certainly a pair of massive dicks.

I am not giving them up

No one’s saying you should…

You can handle floor grime, but gotta wipe off the pocket germs?

I was able to run llms on a 1080. They were admittedly small ones, but a 3090 is enough to be usable. That said, I’m not convinced it’s a good idea to use it for therapy. I expect it’s about as useful as talking into a mirror.

Has he always had speech issues? I figured it was a side effect of the excessive substance abuse.

*fanning the flames* “I don’t ‘want’ this to happen, I just see it.”

This scene had me tearing up. I had found Mordin so grating and unpleasant at first, but his arch of redemption (for him and his species) ended up making him one of my favorites by the end.

I didn’t even know until much later that there were variations to this scene without this shot and I’m very greatful I stumbled blindly into this one because it’s by far the best.

Assigning a lot of morality and intention to word generating algorithms. “Oh no! The thing made to generate text to a prompt generated text to a prompt!”

Nope.
