Jon von Tetzchner used to be the CEO of Opera.

It’s the tone that gets me here more than the content. “Loser thinking” is the level of comment you’d expect from the likes of Elon Musk. Combine this with Andy Yen’s Trump-sympathising it builds a picture.

I already cancelled a couple of years ago when this same man posted a pro-Trump comment. That seems to have been forgotten about, some people dismissed it as just a comment, I’ve even been downvoted since for trying to warn people, and now look.

Demanding a refund could add to the pressure though, you could always renew after he (hopefully) goes. I can’t get a refund since mine has just run out but I’m not making any long-term decisions until the dust has settled.

Link to the article?

I know, it was a joke :)

For a 31 year-old console it’s not that alarming.

I’ll preface this with the fact that I’m not really a “car person”, much less someone in the market for a Ferrari. I’d say it looks like a Ferrari from the rear more than the front. Isn’t that what you’d expect? It hasn’t got a traditional engine in it, so if you designed the front to look more like a traditional Ferrari, you’d have to design it to look like it has a traditional engine, but then form wouldn’t follow function, so it would be less beautiful by that standard. If I were a really rich person looking to buy an expensive car, which I’m not, I’d think I might consider it.

I think it looks alright, honestly.

Oh, very sad news, big fan of his work, underappreciated maybe. Here’s one of my favourites:

Oh and I was randomly just thinking of this tune the other day:

I’ll stop there because obviously I can’t post everything.

Again, you’re telling me what I already know, because you’re still assuming. I can make the point that same prompts don’t produce the same output without explaining about random seeds.

It seems a more likely that the candidates were cutting and pasting a standard response, either way my point was to question the integrity of the article, which seems itself to be AI slop anyway.

You can give an LLM the same seed and it will spit out the same word-for-word response. That’s how they work. It’s just a bunch of math.

You’re assuming that because I missed out that detail I must be ignorant of it, that’s not very charitable, I could well have been ignorant of it but you could have made your otherwise useful clarification without telling me I was wrong.

The article said they were the “exact same”.

Where was I wrong? I said nothing that contradicts the detail you added.

Nope, there are a lot of AI tells in the article.

Something is wrong here, LLMs won’t spit out the same word-for-word response for the same prompt that’s not how they work.

So not “global population decline”?

They’re a political group by definition, even if you don’t believe the rationale it’s their prerogative, if they left former Twitter purely because it didn’t align with their values that wouldn’t be a contradiction in and of itself because their whole reason for existing is taking a political stand.

They don’t have their own instance as far as I know but they’re very active on mastodon.social
