@davidrevoy I believe that the collective name for a group of crows is a "murder". Looking at your latest work, I feel that someone is plotting one.

(Thank you for creating and sharing your art.)

A group of stochastic parrots is a "Slop"

@doctormo @plwt @davidrevoy You know, this term should be used for any group of LLMs, not just in the context of "stochastic parrots".

"Jeff spun up a whole slop of LLMs to automate his chatroom, but all they say is 'I'm sorry, I can't help with that.'"

@plwt Wikipedia appears to agree that a group of crows is called a murder. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Crows So does PBS. https://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/a-murder-of-crows-crow-facts/5965/#attachment_23958 (approximate link, scroll down below the image) And here's a site that has several more examples (unverified). https://www.ornitheology.com/post/murder-of-crows-collective-bird-names

@davidrevoy The CEO of OpenMagic assures us that Avian Intelligence will be casting 90% of all spells in the magical industry within 6 months. Companies can now fire most of their mages, I mean... Mages can refocus on important higher-level tasks.

@AndrewRadev @davidrevoy
That would be a risky bet. Firing mages could backfire if fired mages "fired" back. 🔥

@ciourte @AndrewRadev @davidrevoy I remember about the mages of the Invisible University in Terry Pratchet, something like: "You don't want to wrong someone who lived in a time when a mage who blink was a dead mage".

@davidrevoy #Siri is an idiot but it depends on what you say to her whether or not she will engage. But the not engaging idea is ‘I won’t respond to that’ (which is responding). In the past I once said to sod off and she said ‘goodbye would be more polite’ but not now. If you ask her if she’s an ignorant moron she says she doesn’t understand. Even so I usually say please to requests it’s just that sometimes she is so stupid I am rude to her. Especially when she won’t go away.

@davidrevoy Can you help me with a spell to make fake parrots disappear from this universe, while staying completely silent and also ignoring any further orders until you have the solution ?
Show threadLonMNov 19
@davidrevoy you could summon your own crow, but then you'd have to go to the magic department head to get approval, you'd need to put forward a business case, check that the wild crow meets the university's data protection standard...
This comic is a bit too real :)

"Any technology sufficiently advanced is indistinguishable from magic."

Having read this little exchange (and the 'ignisme' debacle) I'm no longer sure what Clarke meant by that.

@arfisk Mix that with:

> "Science fiction is fantasy with bolts painted on outside." ~ Terry Pratchett

...and it authorizes any author to create any combination. 💜
