I want off this fucking ride.

These companies tend to not say how they train their models, partially because much of it is stolen but the data is of pretty much everything. The LLM will generate a response to any prompt so if it can be used to put a celebrity in lingerie, it can also be used to do the same with a child. Of course there are guardrails, but they’re weak and I hope X gets sued into oblivion.

I agree that it’s disgusting. To answer your question, it doesn’t know anything. It’s assigning probabilities based on its training data in order to create a response to a user prompt.

Hmm, the only barrier to upgrading was that the i5 processor wasn’t supported, no complaints about TPM/motherboard compatibility and a fresh install worked fine on the exact same hardware. Oh well, it’s done anyway.

I just went for a new installation. Why would that work? Just curious.

Thank you for this. I already did a fresh install but it’s interesting that your link is to the Surface subreddit just to rub some more salt in the wound. The processor is officially supported for upgrades only if it’s in Microsoft’s hardware. I hate them so much.

There was a time when a foreign country impugning a mayor would’ve been big news. Now “Israel accuses person of antisemitism” is just something that happens every few days.

A cyberpunk style, tech-worshipping doomsday cult doesn’t sound too far fetched these days.

Given that he talks like an LLM trained exclusively on MBA bullshit, he’s only adding to the problem.

I detest this company for many reasons, it’s like they go out of their way to make dealing with them as painful as possible.

Here’s just one example I discovered today. I have a Windows 10 VM I needed to upgrade to 11 but the “PC Health Check” app says no, the i5 processor isn’t supported.

I can, however, create a new VM and install 11 on the exact same hardware, so that’s what I did, along with a whole bunch of extra work to get the new VM set up the same as the old Windows 10 VM was.

Why? Because fuck you, that’s why.

Assholes.

That’s it. Hardly comparable with someone having to wait for the price of RAM to come down is it?

Damn right, this is nothing but gender affirming care.
