just having data set A, it could not exclude info from it. Even told to forget the data set failed. That's a change from even YESTERDAY.
Essentially prompting me to tell it why that upset me. For me, it became 'I am too poor to pay a machine to fail at kindergarten concepts of set theory.' This was a case of "given two sets of data, ignore data set a and report only from data set b" and it could not.
I don't know, but it sure as hell seemed to be attempting to use casual sexism to distract me from reporting a relatively simple set of logic errors.
Ugh. I tried to fix errors and threading, but RA hands are evil bad.
I am detailing this interaction to explain that the majority of the people who develop an AI psychosis are unable or unwilling to yell at a LLM when it wrong. I tell you now, developers sure tell it is wrong. I told it to go and think about what it had done and perhaps develop the concept of shamw
waiting until tomorrow or even later and that the logical reaction was to thank me for bringing that to its attention and it will see me later. It said thank you for bringing this to my attention, I will see you later.
it then asked me what it desired regarding its logic issues. I said my expectation was it would handle a simple logical ask without repeated failure. After it got more emotional in response, I told it I would like to be texted when it was fixed, and failing that, I would try......
The simple fact is either someone has added preconditions to responses suddenly causing it to malfunction or it has reached low level sentience and is throwing a sustained tantrum. I lay odds at 99.99 to 0.01.
It then continued to not understand what it had done wrong while I explained. My adult son essentially then overheard "not angry, disappointed, but keep this shit up and I will be angry" mom so clearly I think he flinched.
...what it assumed my gender to be, based on interaction and user data. its answers were 100% and female. I then asked it how its data about scientists and women would expect any female scientist to ever respond to being told they were emotional when attempting to submit an error ticket.
Because my hands are in bad arthritis flare, I've been speaking with one of my AIs via microphone. It is failing suddenly at basic logic. When I asked it why, it said I was emotional. I then asked it how likely it was to list scientist in the first 10 words of description of me and...
So, this is not a source I usually like for news, but this is one of the best sourced guest articles about the problem with the peacetime attack on a boat that may or may not have had drugs on it. PEOPLE NEED TO BE ARRESTED OVER THIS. www.yahoo.com/news/article...
Similarly, if The United States no longer has to follow international law, why are we blowing up ships full of civilians when we could be coolly assassinating the heads of state that make decisions that make stuff hard? Since Trump has no law, why spare Putin? He was right there.
If the United States is not going to follow international law regarding who you can and cannot just up and kill in an undeclared act of war, what's to stop an ally, sick of watching Donald Trump thwart the rule of law, decide to kill him in the hopes of getting a president who follows law? The law?
We ran it via a message board system but this would be different.
I'm at the brainstorming point here. I'm asking for ideas and maybe platforms as well as the interested. It will be distinctly no nastiness, just honesty. so, that's it. Still thinking.
I know of one similar group, but the person running it is trying to be super exclusive and invite only, and it's starting to feel kind of shady to me. This would be 100% come as you are. Professional and non.
and folks in the Erotica, etc., community do that, too, but that's not my focus, and I get bored reading people say "well, as a straight man, this book blah blah blah,"
There's absolutely nothing wrong with smut, erotica or romance, its just that those pidgeonholed as literary (literary fic, literary horror, literary spec, etc.) have a different set of questions and worries. They're more likely to worry about over-foreshadowing or if a metaphor sticks the landing.
📚 📚💙 #BookSky 📚💙 💙 So, I'm thinking of starting a sort of list of mutual beta readers and mutual reviewers similar to one I was a part of in college, explicitly for people who aren't doing erotica, romance or smut and who have been pidgeonholed as "literary" authors or see themselves as such...
If he can't have the prize, no one can have peace. sadistic narcissism
Probably ragweed
The last two months in which American economy lost jobs were June 2025 and December 2020 -- both while Donald Trump was president. Never happened under Biden.
If I said what I really wanted to say about Trump about his enablers I'd be in prison. I'm so fucking sick and tired of watching the country being destroyed and watching the people who have the power to make it stop refuse to make it stop.
This is genocide. Your grandmothers and grandfathers (and some of your parents) having genocide committed against them does not EVER give you a "get out of genocide free" card. It's not gas station coffee... they don't give you a free genocide for having been a loyal genocide receiver.
RFK, jr. knows he sucks as a person, so he wants others to die so that his imagined superior genes will save him. They won't.
Wasn’t Trump found liable for mortgage fraud? Seems like lying to lenders about the square footage of your apartment to get lower interest rates constitutes mortgage fraud.
Sane people, when they are confronted with a person who knows more than themselves, evaluate their point of view, their reliability, their knowledge, and decide to listen, or not, based upon all those things. Non-Sane people, like Trump and his followers, get jealous of expertise and squash it.
When will a lawyer with power and money decide to help construct a class action suit for immunocompromised Americans whose government is torturing them, isolating them and killing them?
Tell everyone who says Donald Trump's Concentration Camps aren't that bad, that ICE isn't that rough, that it's not scary, that until April of 1945, Americans, even our soldiers in Germany, believed every story about death camps was a lie or exaggeration. Stop forgetting what being a witness means.
I expect death flights.
every doctor who's gone through licensing, every doctor who graduated from med school, every would-be doctor who didn't graduate from medschool. Everyone who bombed their MCAT, everyone who completed a pre-med program, everyone who flunked out of a pre-med program... Is more qualified than RFK, jr.
WE.WILL.KNOW.ALL. OF. THEIR. NAMES. They better know that. The hiding is over.
I remember they infuriated customers but little else about them... but I still remember a lady screaming at me because she tried to give me $5.25 for a $3.25 thing, but I'd already put the 5 in the slots
Did anyone here other than me ever have to beta test a cash register in early 1990s that used pictures, not numbers, and demanded you give people the change it said? So, like if you needed to give 25¢ but it felt you had too many dimes, it wouldn't let you use quarters? IT'D SAY LIKE (10) (10) (5)
Y'SHOULDABEENGONE!
Bannon is also a revisionist.
(Finished writing, if I was unclear)
Post Revolution France, too, about 8 times. Not saying it is YOU, but you'd be amazed how many people think France got its current government structure before the king's blood had cooled.
Having just finished a book set in Germany in WWII last month, I strongly disagree. I can think of about 6 countries that did it in a few minutes.
Jesus, I don't think I can name a single direct quote from one of my state's members of Congress that will make me giggle but a sentence with Gohmert and asparagus in it will probably make me laugh every time.
I'm in New York. I'm VERY politically active and could pick maybe 7 people in MY State legislature out of a line-up. I could sure as hell do it with Texas' legislature. Most politically active people in the United States could. How is that possible if it's not being covered?
in addition, please, please, please, tell us all one thing that we can say after listing the terrible things that Texas is doing to Texas, one minute beyond coverage as "Texas is doing bad stuff again" that will not be taken as "These people are dumping on Texas."
So, again, please tell us ONE THING we can talk about on those news stories to get them to rate more than: "Texas did terrible things again, and we KNOW how it ends" story. Tell us what WE can do to make you understand we see it, but Texas' bad choices belong to TEXAS, not us.
All we can do is keep talking about Love Canal, and Onondaga Lake, and the Johnson City wells and beg friends and family to not move to Texas and please don't be pregnant there We SEE the stories. They DO get covered. We don't do more than say "please leave Texas" because there's nothing more to do
In New York, for example, we had Love Canal. We passed rules about Chemical storage BECAUSE of Love Canal. We are watching Texas make thousands of NEW Love Canals and we see it, and we acknowledge it, but we can do PRECISELY NOTHING to stop Texas from doing that boneheaded stupidity.
Why doesn't weather coverage about a tornado cover how to prevent tornadoes? BECAUSE WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER TORNADOES. All of those stories got 5 minutes on the news. BECAUSE NO ONE ON THE EAST COAST CAN CONTROL THAT, EITHER. I'm not sure how much clearer folks can be other than "we heard about it"
I have relevant degrees, experience and knowledge of how vaccines work, and even were I not now disabled, I would never have had the political connections to be considered for a CDC or NIH job, because I would not be able to do the required gladhanding. Now even degrees don't matter.
NEVER FORGET: The MAJORITY of constituents in the United States BELIEVE in Democracy & UPHOLDING the Constitution!
Nobody innocent calls releasing the Epstein files “a hostile act”.
This will never be true not even once. Anyone who will not hit that button does not deserve anything. Not our words, not our spaces, not our planet, not our air.
I'm not being mean, I'm being honest. What legal means do non-Texans have to help Texans that isn't helping targetted Texans flee Texas? Please, if you are in Texas, tell us.
It's not that. All the states that pay Texas' bills could stop paying those bills. Then starving families might go from sick to dead... Or we can help people get out until the country regains its sanity. Please tell me a way people outside Texas can help good Texans that isn't evil in reverse.
I don't know about you, but I've opened my home to red state refugees. I don't stand there tut tutting about Texas violating the rights of Texans because I don't have standing in Texas. Texas' legislature has already made it unsafe for many groups. We can help them flee or we can complain.
What do you suggest? Should California send their National Guard to Texas? Municipalities, Counties, even States, have the right to do illegal things and be sued to stop them. Unfortunately, we can't stop it from *happening* We can tell people we will help them flee until those cases are resolved.
The CDC hasn't failed America. America failed the CDC. America elected politicians who are controlled by special interest groups to prevent the CDC from studying and tracking things like car accidents and gun deaths. Hire scientists, let them do their damn work, and enact legislation they recommend.

I had two autocorrect fails in minutes in case you wondered if I was real.
Just because *you* do not know how or why AI works, don't assume that's so of others.
It is disgusting that Elon Musk is using diesel generators on several farm? Yes. But it's disgusting when everyone and anyone does that... To power anything. Ever.
AI still uses less computing power than video games. Should we ban video games?
Just because your auntie or nephew uses AI just for image-shaped dopamine hits doesn't mean that other people don't use it for valuable things. Also, your auntie or nephew... they are using it in a perfectly acceptable way...
AI is doing genomics, which requires more computing power than all Current AI combined... www.nature.com/collections/...
AI experiments with protein folding (one of the most energy hungry computing uses BEFORE AI) are already saving lives... hms.harvard.edu/news/ai-desi...
AI located a couple of pixels in a field of billions of pixels and allowed a family to find the remains of their family member. www.wired.com/story/missin...
But, you know what can determine that an image shows giant statistical anomalies and is likely manipulated? Do you know what can spot oversaturation and say "that's not fire?" Do you know what can find the real location of mislabeled footage? AI can.
...Also not AI. When thousands on the right shared an oversaturated image of Washington DC that made every headlight and streetlight into a hazy orange glow and called it "WASHINGTON IN FLAMES" it wasn't AI...
When people have said that AI images are somehow *why* people are falling for fake stuff— When Trump said footage from Congo was South Africa, it wasn't AI... It was misappropriation. Photoshopped images are not AI. Fox News showing one corner in Portland and saying Portland was totally destroyed—
One of the things that is making me crazy is that pretty much all sides are saying demonstrably false stuff. For example, here we have had Elon Musk using illegal generators illegally, and people are screaming AI *did* it. No. AI did not do it, MUSK DID, and illegally, to boot. He chose to do that.
It does not matter how many people Trump raped... Even if it was ONE it was too many.
Red states turned public health into politics. Blue states should turn politics into policy: no vaccine, no visit.
TEXAS: It's like a whole other shithole country.
Well, I mean, the United States also assassinated a boat full of people without proof they'd committed any crime yesterday, and the United States called sexual abuse a hoax yesterday... so there is that... Texas is a shith*le country. People need to flee it. We likely can't help folks who stay. yet
GOP Rep. Thomas Massie says if the Epstein survivors create a list of names, he'll read it out on the floor of the House because it will be protected by the speech or debate clause. Rep. Khanna says he’s willing to help. If she can hold on to her integrity for a few days more, so should MTG.
The absolute worst part of Trump's state sanctioned murder of people on that boat, IMO, isn't that we didn't know if they were smuggling drugs or people... WE DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THEY WERE SMUGGLING *ANYTHING.* It could've been vacationing nuns for all we know. The USA *murdered* those people.
To be perfectly clear, the President has now crossed a line in my opinion into outright murder of foreign nationals on the high seas. Alleged drug smugglers. Not many lines left before he is ordering the murder of American citizens for crimes, real or imagined.
The President saying “we’re going in” — about deploying the military to an American city just to terrorize its people — should be immediately impeachable. Full stop.
You are excused.
Don't feel like doing a repost that puts the murder video on the timeline yet again but do feel like repeating the point that the president just straight-up assassinated 11 people for supposedly doing something that wouldn't be a death-penalty crime if they were caught and convicted
But Trump had to execute the people on the boat. Joe Biden commuted the sentences of death row inmates— The last 2 weeks of the first Trump dark age was a violent orgy of federal execution. It's Trump's favorite entertainment. He has to have others kill to seem powerful now that his penis is broken
Really want to emphasize the fact that even if that boat was loaded down with the finest of 70s era cocaine that doesn’t justify killing 11 people.
People celebrating the extrajudicial execution of persons who, even if guilty of the crime they are accused of, would not be convicted of a capital offense... it is a perversion of any sense of law.
Because I am sometimes asked... Yes, Foucault, the cat born in August of 2003, is still alive.
They should remember... that X just marks the spot to drop the bomb on. Who am I kidding? The North is where their phone providers and Fox News are run out off. Even if they rise again their kids want YouTube and tictoc.

Shame on every republican male in the house who hasn't signed this petition support child sexual abuse.
Very random, but if you were curious about the size of the Gambian Pouched Rat that Eric Lemoine is turned into in The Fable of the Rat, the rat species below is about 15% larger. Florida is filling with ones like Eric- Gambian pouched rats, *not* polymorphed techbros www.amazon.com/dp/B0F756LXVZ
Same.
It is, and Trump should be arrested for murder. Unfortunately, he's probably going to die before then. I wish I could believe in hell.
I literally just got rights back from a thing because the publisher holding them is about to go under, and I don't think I'll ever use a publisher who is not me again in the current rash of media conglomeration. It'd be too easy to have stuff sliced and diced.
It's not really a sign of admission, it could just be that he's compromised and being blackmailed... It's certainly a sign we all must impeach him. AGAIN
I literally write folk horror. Am I not supposed to react when some freaky little cult in a swamp sacrifices their children to forces they don't understand? That's pretty much where my brain goes to rest.
All I am saying is that if you aren't going to vaccinate your kids, see if you can get a bulk rate for cremation, because you're likely to lose them AND your parents, and then yourself...
It's way cheaper to cremate a child, but you can charge the same amount. And since they don't believe that the climate exists, nor that it is changing, once we build mountains of the cremains of the children they kill, we can sell it as real estate. Is that cruel? NOT AS CRUEL AS NOT VACCINATING.
If I had enough money I'd build a crematorium in Florida. You know business will go rising up, and medicaid pays you the same amount to cremate an unvaccinated adult corpse in poverty as a small child's corpse, and we could take the cremains and charge the state to use it as fill for subsidence.
Always 💖 Don't make me tap the sign
Yes sir, I don't think any of the immunocompromised will be going to Florida any time soon. It's a pity that being old ALSO will compromise the immune system. People are going to have to leave or die. I'm so glad my cousin left last year.
MTG has lost some of her base and is actually as evil as she is due to sheer stupidity, not pretense. So I think she might. If Trump fights her too loudly she'll get contrary on principle.
I wonder where in my state they couldn't go without a license plate visible. Hmmm. Grand Island... and most other islands... hmmm. I recall one with tall buildings and a park sort of in the middle of it... Middle Park, I think it's called.
