Scott BaroloThis is the kind of crap I have to deal with. Excerpted from a ridiculous argument with @shrewshrew about Jane Austen

I do brain research and play social deduction games and eat jam but my true calling is living a life of luxury by independent means. She/her

To supply some context, the argument is ridiculous because she’s right and we both know it but she can’t stop until I *admit* she’s right

Sarah FackrellSo, this thread by @seachanger got me thinking about #ReplyGuys and, in particular, the fedi phenomenon of (what I've started thinking of as) #GhostReplies.

bad reply guys are one of fedi/mastodon’s biggest problems. I’m realizing it’s not only a demographic issue but a structural one with the platform. if people cannot easily see one another’s replies, and if the original poster can’t easily QT replies, someone with a popular post has to field dozens of nearly identical replies. if these replies enforce white supremacy or patriarchy (spoiler: they often do), the structure of mastodon tends to center and amplify white supremacy &patriarchy

Is it a mark of genius or depression to melt cheese curds onto Thai curry fried rice. Or both. Anyway it's delicious

Cori Bargmann@biorxivpreprint Elias Scheer’s thesis work is up on bioRxiv! It uncovers links between different foraging behaviors, including a classical ethological decision, abandoning a patch of food.

Renée"When I tell it it's wrong, ChatGPT tries again and gets more correct!"
No. It learns which answer you stopped asking questions at. It has no idea of correct factually!
Correct for ChatGPT means *you are satisfied* with the combo of words it put together. That you liked its information-shaped sentence.
That's all. If you tell it it's still wrong, it will try again with different words instead.
You just think it's getting more right because you let it stop when it accidentally is.
