The US is about to pull a Brexit: A self inflicted blow that will destroy decades of progress motivated by a toxic combination of grievance and idiocy.

I was working on a script for a TikTok video and asked DeepSeek: “What are the most common misconceptions people have about you and your reasoning model?” In its chain of thought, DeepSeek reveals that it thinks it’s GPT-4—and even explains why. Given its response, it’s hard to dispute that DeepSeek used GPT-4 data to train its model (I assume it’s the V3 version). That said, while DeepSeek might have used GPT-4 in its training, OpenAI accusing them of theft is a bit like the pot calling the kettle black. OpenAI has trained ChatGPT on vast amounts of internet data, including copyrighted material—mostly without permission. It’s pretty ironic that now now they get to be on the other side 😄 I guess what goes around comes around? P.S. Even if DeepSeek did use GPT-4 in its training, it’s far from being just a copycat of ChatGPT. #AI #ChatGPT #DeepSeek #GPT4 #AIModel #MachineLearning #ArtificialIntelligence #LLM #TechNews #AIethics #AItraining #OpenAI #Chatbot #AIresearch #TechTrends #AIcontroversy #GenerativeAI #TechTalk #AIModels #llmtraining".
Did I accomplish everything on my list this week? No.
But did I prioritize well and make sure the few things that got done were the most important ones? Also no.
But did I at least make a solid effort I can proud of, even if I did not succeed? Again, no.
these be the facts

One year ago today I came out to everyone as #trans right here on Mastodon and also published this blog post:

The reaction was incredible, which I documented with this next blog post:
https://lisamelton.net/2023/06/26/the-reaction-from-mastodon/
Anyway, I wanted to send you all another love letter. Because I continue to receive so much affirmation and support here. I'm not sure that would have happened anywhere else.
Thank you, again, awesome people. 😊🥰💖🏳️⚧️
I came out as transgender to my wife on February 2, Groundhog Day, because I possess a fine sense of irony. I spoke to her indoors so I didn't see my shadow, thus ensuring I wouldn't retreat into any other obscurity. My first therapy appointment was the next day and pretty much confirmed my gender [...]
My mother in law who insists that she's objective despite living in Alberta and listening to Alberta news just said that there is so much we don't know about #ClimateBreakdown. There is so much sun activity the sun is just giving us too much heat
I'd like to point out this woman has a PhD in Chemistry.
Just being in Alberta rots the brain.
Don't tell me only China has a propaganda problem. This is state sanctioned bullshit.
