TIL that roots and branches are actually "vines."

I don't think that guy has actually ever seen the plants that grow food.

Apples and web pundits are basically the same plant, we've just bred apples to have worse typing skills.

I’m pretty sure an apple rolling over a keyboard would produce more coherent output than many pundits.

What an idiot. My father didn’t labor in the vegetable mines for his entire life to be disrespected this way.

That’s what happens when you use your fearsome intellect to work things out from first principles without bothering to consult the real world.

I hope his biology teacher sees this post and beats him with his biology school book.

If apples and potaoes are different then why do the French call them pommes de terre?

[–] [email protected] 76 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Because their language is made of hate

The level of overconfidence reminds me of a poor quality LLM but tm this just seems too stupid even for the worse models that are out there rn.

ai visionary/harry potter fanfiction master eliezer yudkowsky, folks. the man's intellect is perpendicular to the rest of humanity. truly inspiring.

this is why i can't take anything he says seriously.

The more I see him in the real world the more very upset I become that I genuinely really liked his story. HPMOR is a banger, possibly one of my favorite pieces of amateur literature in existence.

I didn't know the author was a wanker at the time of reading, and now that I do, I want to make myself retroactively un-like his work, but I can't.

His social media presence is, uh... questionable.

I did a little bit of digging around and I can't find anything in particular that he's done that I don't like (actually he's one of few people pushing back against AI which I do like), but I've seen some Twitter takes from him in the past that made me not want to be involved with him.

Nothing heinous though so far as I know, though I can't say I've kept up with it recently.

Potatoes are definitely apples. The French call them "pommes de terre", apples of the earth. Ipso facto.

I will not be accepting questions at this time.

The german term for horse shit is "horse apples", Pferdeäpfel. Proof that horses are really potatoes.

This is 100% a human arguing with an LLM.

[–] [email protected] 60 points 1 week ago (2 children)

LLMs ain't that old. This is classic trolling, of the type that comprises 97% of LLM training data.

I hate when we look at something and think "not sure if that obvious troll is actually a troll and not a completely deluded person, or a dumb bot"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

Shouldn't be posting from xitter in the first place.
