falling leaf

'IQ' is of no relevance here. Giving the 'right' answer requires an abductive inference about the implicit reason why a human would ask this question. This was traditionally considered a capability only available to humans.
Logically 'Walk' is the right answer, obviously, because the question is about going from point A to point B. Connecting 'car wash' and 'drive' to the unstated intent to wash your car is difficult for a machine when the logical structure of the question is otherwise clear. A model being able to do it is a technical accomplishment, that's what the excitement is about.

@DJ_PaulTUK @DrClownPhD you're not an easy to fool kind of person, are you? :)

[Michael Fallingleaf @mrustle]

@budetkakbudet @thevivafrei funny. Without context one would say to girls marching in lockstep comes naturally, boys need discipline. Girls do what others do, boys do their own things. Makes you wonder: for an obedient society, whom would you want in charge? :)

@Panagiotou90St turn it on :)

'peroxide poisoning' The hydrogen peroxide concentration is way too low in a pool of that size and given the amount of organic matter in the water and UV exposure from sun it should decompose pretty fast anyways. That water was probably more toxic before the peroxide was added to it... :)

[Michael Fallingleaf @mrustle]

so, according to you, because people do things for undeclared reasons on a regular basis it is therefrom justified for you to just go ahead and call this guy a murderer? No offense intended really but this sounds so unbelievably moronic. Or maybe we just live in different worlds, and let's say I wouldn't want to get to know yours that got you used with thinking this way...

[Michael Fallingleaf @mrustle]

@elonmusk because the very necessity of it is a cultural construct of the West.

[Michael Fallingleaf @mrustle]

@BeansproutLord @TheOnlyDSC didn't notice. If trouble is what he was seeking then trouble is what he should find...

[Michael Fallingleaf @mrustle]

@xsuspiciousfish @TormentedSapien @yinzer_g probably not. More likely she's just arguing in bad faith. Got something to demonstrate or she's an engagement chaser...

[Michael Fallingleaf @mrustle]

@Con_Tomlinson @StennerMax @Sargon_of_Akkad don't judge. His wife might have picked it up for him...

[Michael Fallingleaf @mrustle]

@namron1960 @Lazarus1957 @TFTC21 don't count on it. Permethrin treated clothing, picaridin spray, checking yourself after spending time outdoor are better alternatives to avoid tick bites. @grok do opossum dietary habits have any effect on tick populations?

@Angel_Paradize the disdain of those two, would it be as disdainful if she weren't this cute? :)

[Michael Fallingleaf @mrustle]

@TJeannot29289 @Angel_Paradize the video is obviously post-processed, edited, this will come with intrinsic artifacts but that does not mean the original footage is AI generated. Irrelevant anyways...

[Michael Fallingleaf @mrustle]

entertaining AI video slop I suppose but what do you mean by 'its own terms'? Or by 'modernize'?

You may want to revise and exercise some imagination -- Mesoamerican civilisation was already thousands of years old at the time of Cortes and still in a basically advanced stone-age stage, by European standards.

Hard to think that a mere less than 500 more years would have been enough for it to discover neon lighting (and 'smartphones' :) on 'its own terms'.

online vs in-store are different departments within a large corporation, they likely calculate the retail prices based on different criteria, overhead expenses, competition pressure, customer base, etc. Would you consider them less 'crooked' if they'd adjust the online price to match the in-store price?

[Michael Fallingleaf @mrustle]

no. In mathematics there is no inherently privileged direction of movement along an axis, no 'up' or 'down', this is psychologically conditioned. 'Counting' is listing integers, not measuring 'quantities'. '11, 10' is the logical, most rigorous sequence of integers, the shortest path to destination as demanded: as Grok explains it in its output. However, sometimes its probabilistic underpinning may pick another interpretation for the prompt. You just need to be more precise when you ask something if precision is what you seek, just as it is the case with people.

[Michael Fallingleaf @mrustle]

feminism, a mistake? Probably not. That is if you look at it as a predictable expression of a safe, tolerant and comfortable society. Which is a society anybody wants to live in. It was, perhaps, a mistake to articulate all political priorities on its grievances. That's where the choice was made. Or possible to be made or to avoid. Just as it was for 'sexual orientation', then 'sexual identity', 'race', 'religion', etc. But a tolerant society, just like any other, creates its own monsters, its ultimate Evil. Real or imagined makes no difference. In its case it is, obviously, 'intolerance' -- of any kind. Those who fight it are heroes, get elected, become 'leaders'... So there you go.

So, these women are not necessarily 'manipulated', they are just normal in the world they live in, a product of it, with normal reactions for it. No inconveniences or even tragedies no matter how widespread are capable to make them change their stance because that's the way to stay 'good people' by the norms of their community. They only need to navigate the narrow slice of reality they have control over and there are always workarounds: Dangerous to go out at night? Just stay home, read a book, that's even better...

The ominous conclusion would be that society as a whole needs to crash before it will be able to redress its course. This is painful and authoritarian abuses of all kind will likely creep in beforehand to stabilise the status quo. Here's to the hope that a miracle will occur and this won't happen.

[Michael Fallingleaf @mrustle]

perhaps you should ask: '10k people' over how much time?... A day? A week? A month? Raw chicken incubating in anaerobic conditions at room temperature at the center of the tower for a week... I personally wouldn't be too comfortable with a sandwich made with it (Salmonella can grow in these conditions as well).

[Michael Fallingleaf @mrustle]

@MazBaz6969 @malachimaxeyusa 'uncanny'? That's probably something only someone with a lot of experience watching half a ton chicken meat towers falling down can opine. Are you one? :)
