This is a good use of AI. It’s not training an LLM, it’s using reinforcement training to teach a system to analyze complex data for patterns. It’s correlating teaching methods with outcomes in a way that would be very difficult for a human researcher to analyze due to the complexity. This is a scientific study performed by a public university.
I get that AI sucks but we shouldn’t be conflating this kind of scientific use of the technology with LLMs.
Brutal, oil spills are the worst, even in really small volumes. That stuff will crawl straight up a wall.
Early in my career I did tensile testing on adhesive coupons. I was running an experiment to simulate heating and cooling cycles on a bond. I had a nice big thermal chamber from the 1960’s, lined with heating elements (and undoubtedly asbestos), a big old dewar of liquid nitrogen, some thermocouples, and a PID controller the size of a German Shepherd.
Problem is, cold air sinks. My samples are sitting on the bottom of this huge chamber and their temperature is fluctuating wildly every time a bit of LN2 is added. The ancient PID controller cannot cope with my shitty test setup, it’s trying to turn on the damned heaters to control the temperature when I’m trying to go cold and this is a multi-hour test and I just want to go home.
But… I have a cardboard box. Nice, insulative cardboard, just the right height to get my samples off the floor of the chamber and into a zone where the temperature is more stable. I am brilliant! Cardboard box deployed, I can finally begin my thermal cycling.
I learned a few things that day:
Why would you censor “raght” it’s not even a word?
Dealer’s choice
Here, we’ve settled a class action lawsuit on your behalf. We determined your data was worth $0.47, enjoy your check!
… Yes our entire business model is selling your data, and our valuation is $5.1 trillion, what’s your point?
There are a lot of people with impossible fantasies. They want their partner to be spontaneous but only when it’s convenient, they want a sense of danger but no real danger (but they want to believe there is real danger). It leads people to do stupid stuff like under negotiating kink scenes in the interest of “realism”. People get hurt.
You did the right thing. Some goth girl will be lucky to have you tie her up someday.
AI gets all the credit, but I also appreciated that touch!
The prompt was literally “put this fish on Trump’s body”
Love it! Got you tagged as “real artist” now.
Apologies for the AI image but I’m not spending more than three seconds on this
You ain’t getting me twice today.
Maybe… it was a big enough fire that I was worried about triggering the sprinklers / fire alarm so I wasn’t in any mood to experiment further.
