  • If he has a rash being formed by the cream, then that means he’s having a negative reaction to it and should not continue using it.

    I’m curious what that rash could actually be. I have my hopes, but it doesn’t look like something good. If he really is taking an excessive amount of Aspirin (presumably to reduce the risk of a heart attack), then it could be as simple as his collar being too tight or rough on his skin. Based on the response they gave, that seems unlikely, though.



  • Since the bottom of an article is usually the least visible, I’ll paste this here to make it more visible:

    “The Copilot Discord channel has recently been targeted by spammers attempting to disrupt and overwhelm the space with harmful content not related to Copilot. Initially, this spam consisted of walls of text, so we added temporary filters for select terms to slow this activity. We have since made the decision to temporarily lock down the server while we work to implement stronger safeguards to protect users from this harmful spam and help ensure the server remains a safe, usable space for the community,” a Microsoft spokesperson told Windows Latest.

    Microsoft added that blocking terms such as “Microslop,” along with other phrases in the spam campaign, was not intended as a permanent policy but a short-term mitigation while the company manages to put additional protections in place.

    Whether it’s true or not that the policy was temporary, I guess we’ll see.





  • This is the kind of stuff that trump and his ilk are all about.

    To build on this, the anti-American sentiment is what fuels the xenophobia of that party. “Fuck America” is what makes people go “ya know what let’s just not have allies anymore” and start threatening everyone.

    Nuance isn’t that hard. It’s simple, actually. Fuck the people who are in charge of and in support of these decisions. Fuck the people who actually gain from fucking over the rest of the world.

    It’s not like Trump intends to listen to me or my trans husband anyway. If anything, even against the NRA’s wishes (by some miracle), he wants us to be ineligible to even own a gun.



  • had people understood from the start the limitations of it, investment would’ve been more modest and cautious

    People did understand from the start. Those who do the investing just didn’t listen, or they had a different motive. These days it’s impossible to tell which.

    And by “people” I’m not referring to random people, but those who have been closer than most to the development of these models. There has been an unbelievable amount of research done on everything from the effectiveness of specific models in niche fields to the ability to use an LLM as the backend for a production service. Again, no amount of negative feedback going up the chain has made a difference in the direction, so that only leaves a few explanations on why the investment continues to be so high.
