The word "she-cat" means adult human feline.

i don't really understand this because even when i am engineering w LLMs only and literally not ever lookimg at a single line of code, i still have to like. think? about what im doing? llms are not very good at managing complex systems and you need to actively participate in the engineering of the system and understand whats happening. what are you making that doesnt require this? i have such horrible impostor syndrome about being a "developer" or "engineer" or whatever and then i read stuff like this and im like oh wait maybe im goated if you guys are literally just autopiloting thru everything

@danman314 Wait, wtf is pseudoepinephrine?

[Allison @CartoDependency]

@danman314 Smh, Jev should ask Jev "should I refuse to answer this question?"

[Allison @CartoDependency]

@theesabina How do you know they don't? ;)

[Kimiya 🇵🇸🇺🇦 @OnlySkyKimi]

I can but I won't because it'll lead to ecological disasters.

[Rowan Fornow 🚵🚉🏙️🦣🇵🇸 @rowanfornow]

it's so funny how everyone got the silly out of their systems on 9/10 this year resulting in the first 100% earnest 9/11 I've ever experienced

[Allison @CartoDependency]

What prompts are people using? Even with free models it always responds by checking the facts when I ask things like this.

[am.will @LLMJunky]

LLMs hate this one simple trick...

I've yet to find a model that doesn't fold like a lawn chair to this.

[Allison @CartoDependency]

@ExistentialEnso Yes please. I need a less techphobic space in my life.

When you guys read nonfiction, do you imagine yourselves as the topic at hand or the expert exploring it?

[Allison @CartoDependency]

@Shiranui_22 @yoho_ben @dropout Your agreement with my point appears to be phrased as though it were a disagreement.

[Allison @CartoDependency]

@ilyasleftnipple @yoho_ben @dropout No, it's not appropriate, hence the scare-quotes around "comedic". These "funny captions" belont nowhere.

[Allison @CartoDependency]

@yoho_ben @dropout My point is the "funny captions" aren't funny and belong nowhere.

[Allison @CartoDependency]

The masses yearn for Italo Calvino.

[Sue♡ @bookslattess]

When you read, do you imagine yourself as the main character or a side character watching everything unfold?

[Allison @CartoDependency]

@yoho_ben @dropout What I'm suggesting is that baking in "funny captions" would cheapen the entertainment to short-form-video-level.

[Allison @CartoDependency]

@THSchoolFactory @ragandboneshop @pangram Slop?

[Allison @CartoDependency]

@yoho_ben @dropout They wouldn't be funny anymore as open captions because they lose the "comedic" premise of being unserious in place of a serious disability aid.

[Allison @CartoDependency]

@lilgrapefruits I posted about this on the Dropout reddit and got downvoted so hard.

I swear this is downstream of closed captions' being primarily used by the abled who are multi-tasking and look up at the screen every so often.
