Money is relatively easy compared to CHARACTER. Character and Wisdom is much harder its what a whole King in the bible asked for.

[Emeka @OInnocxnt]

I ask again: why do Black male celebrities become successful and, instead of starting families with lawyers, scientists, bankers, accountants, etc., they would rather do this with prostitutes? What is the allure that I'm missing?

[Tolu @txluuu]

@darasoba It looks neutered

[Tolu @txluuu]

This is NOTHING NEW. If you've been paying attention, framing things as amorphous or undefined in order to expand its tent has been the move. Its really hard to be surprised

[Tolu @txluuu]

Love this! And for any one trying to gaslight you I will help you predict how they will do it. They will tell you human intelligence is “undefined” amorphous thing and so because it’s undefined you can appropriate LLMs to it. That’s it, that will be their argument. Now you know.

[Mo @atmoio]

I’ve been trying to find good analogies for this.

The argument seems to be: “AI is intelligent because it does intelligent-like things, therefore it is cope to say it’s not intelligent.”

Some analogies:

- “The moon is really bright. Therefore it is capable of luminance.” Here of course we expose a manner of speaking. The moon reflects the sun’s light. The models reflect our own intelligence. The moon will never be a star.

- “A snail on the bed of a tow truck is really fast. Look, it’s moving from A to B at 60mph, it’s clearly fast.” But of course the snail is borrowing the truck’s velocity.

Notice how there is no controversy in calling the technology large language models because the term is perfectly apt: a map of language. This points to language as constructed by humans as the true source of magic, and LLMs being algorithms that can traverse this map at light speeds.

Before you think I’m being pedantic, understand that the nature of the words we use is precisely what’s at stake. That the moon *looks* bright is incontrovertible. Insisting however that the moon itself has any concept of inherent luminance is when you start to gaslight people into deranged realities that they will not stand for. Attempting to appropriate ageless conceptions like consciousness and intelligence to corporate technology by playing axiomatic word games is insanity.

Large language models do what they do and this is non-controversial. Personifying it with human-like attributes however is totally uncalled for, when it is easy enough for us to define new words that better capture the phenomenon.

I’ve been thinking long and hard about this and I think a good phrase for these technologies can be—hear me out:

“large language models”

[Tolu @txluuu]

It also means sane people paired off fast. Do with that information what you will.

[Johnmark Obiefuna @jayhemz]

Unpopular opinion: this generation is the easiest time to get married.

You don't need to do any "secret research," it's very easy to know who's sane and who isn't.

[Tolu @txluuu]

I don’t even mind hating but like put some oomf into it not slop hating

[osama ✰ @realwolog]

gunna is better singer and rapper than drake.

[Tolu @txluuu]

Something for everyone so grab a plate!

[Phella @iamphella]

So Maid of Honour is like the songs about women, Habibti is the party stuff and Iceman is where the bars reside?

[Tolu @txluuu]

Someone who gets it. Get on the bus!

@EmmanOwoniyi That’s the word on the street. I’m just here for more is more. Imma listen to this album
In so many different ways. Construct new playlists from across all 3 albums. That’s my drizzy

[Tolu @txluuu]

We gon have conversations on the order to listen in and that’ll keep this album going. Yall not seeing the vision. New discoveries. I love maximalist artists.

[Tolu @txluuu]

Counter point he’s a maximalist artist in a time of doing to little he give us all. Maybe I just rate him too much

[Indu @_induuu]

okay now don’t get mad, but Drake releasing 3 albums is exactly his problem. he’s always doing too much, doesn’t let his music breathe, he doesn’t let his audience sit, it’s gluttony — he feeds them too much — it’s always excess with him

[Tolu @txluuu]

@EmmanOwoniyi He’s BRUCE WAYNE!

[Tolu @txluuu]

I could not absolutely care less like on Tims?????

[Thorn @LoupSaar4]

I honestly don't doubt that Dunkin is higher quality but Tim Hortons will just start running a "We are canadian" marketing campaign and kill this on the spot

[Lawrence Kitema @lawrencekitema]

Your parents have been married for close to 30 years. You don���t see them as role models for marriage, but two social media couples who got married and divorced in less than two years are making you scared to get married. You see that you don’t have sense.

[Tolu @txluuu]

@IamBrandonHill Love the momentum Brandon!

[Tolu @txluuu]

The only natural conclusion from the overconsumption of negative stories

[Joshwelt @weltszzn]

I hate how traumatized everyone is from dating. it's actually sad.

[Tolu @txluuu]

The issue is never money, it’s character. Seek character that’s what goes the distance.

[Tolu @txluuu]

There’s a secret third answer

[The Jobfather ® 🇯🇲🇨🇦🇬🇧 @TheJobfather__]

Laying off junior developers to replace them with AI is a short-term cost decision with a long-term talent pipeline problem. In five years, where are the senior engineers coming from. That is the question nobody is asking out loud.

[Tolu @txluuu]

Dating apps are largely a societal aberration and should have stayed at the fringes of society where they belonged

[Allie ✞ @allie__voss]

This is a large reason dating apps fail

Human attraction (specifically for women) requires repeat exposure with low stakes

Dating apps do the opposite: meet once, on romantic terms, and decide immediately if it ever happens again
