  • I’m having trouble parsing this. Looking at the paper (https://ojs.aaai.org/index.php/ICWSM/article/view/42688) it looks like they’re using the LLMs to determine if a video aligns with one of the three categories they were testing this behavior against (cooking, fitness, and sports betting). They decided to go with that rather than hashtag filtering because hashtag use on the platform isn’t moderated. So, unrelated hashtags can be used on a video, some don’t have hashtags, and none of it is standardized. Categorizing things is something that LLMs are pretty damn good at, actually. Mostly because we actually understand how they do that (localization in high-dimension vector DBs)

    Like, they’re not using the LLM to interpret their results, man. This is a clear centaur, not a reverse-centaur. The tool is being used by those who understand it, not being made to make decisions that it has no business making.







  • I would love to believe it was some decision making tree, comparing number needed to treat vs number needed to harm, but the most likely explanation is that there was funding for cervical cancer that this worked off of, and that was used to get the first human test subjects (all women, cause men don’t have cervixes, silly. Just ignore all the men with cervixes).

    Never mind that 90% of drugs only go through testing with just men cause “women are just men with different hormones patterns and more statistical noise”. But the reverse logic is clearly not respected, we have to test this drug on men before we can approve it for them. Ah patriarchy, if it isn’t you, it’s capitalism.






  • Yes, and while you’re dutifully keeping track of the other team, during those same 50 years, the Democrats have backslid into conservativism light. I’m not saying “they go low, we go high” I’m saying that the rules need to apply to everyone. I’m saying thinking of politics like sports ball makes everyone kind of suck. Go out, talk to your conservative friends, make them understand that it doesn’t matter who leads, we need them to actually talk about and do the action of leading. If their politicians choose whipping people into frenzies about literally anything other than the job of running the country, they need to go.


  • I’m not talking about that. It is telling that that’s where you went, though.

    No, you see, there are rules and none of us are above the rules. Rules that are unimportant must be dropped (not prosecuting cause it “could look bad”, not using the majority in the senate “cause what if they get the majority?”) and rules that are important must be enforced (antitrust, holding people in power accountable).

    Kindergarten insults just reinforces us vs them thinking. They, the people elected to rule, are not us. We, the people, we’re the us. I don’t care if your propaganda exposure made you pick team blue or team red. Largely, neither of those fucks want to actually lead, they just want to sit on the heap. If the red team makes someone actually interested in leading, great, but they’re too busy indoctrinating racists and religious nut jobs so they don’t actually have to do their jobs. Team blue is similar, but their vector of control (minority groups who “have no other choice” and white people who are scared of seeming racist) at least makes them attempt to do the job they’re elected to do. But they will wiggle their way out of it at their soonest convenience.
