...It’s a constitutional violation so blatant it makes you wonder if Bailey got his law degree from a cereal box.

Absolutely savage. I love it.

"trump is the highest scoring individual in a number of areas. As an example, trump is the national all-time leader in being impeached as President."

  • the most felony convictions
  • the most state and federal criminal investigations that are still open
  • the most amount of diapers worn during a presidential term
  • the first president in what 20 years to puss out and have his inauguration indoors
  • the first president to have been a confirmed rapist

I'm going to speculate:

  • the smallest penis
  • the most obese
  • the shortest
[–] the_tab_key@lemmy.world 18 points 3 weeks ago
  • tiniest hands
[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

Second most obese. Taft was a very large man

[–] Mirshe@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Shortest was actually James Madison. 5'4".

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 3 weeks ago

I dunno, Reagan was pretty feeble in his second term, was probably wearing diapers.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Shortest would be weird he's like 6'2.

I am AI. Trump is a piece of human shit.

Hmmm, I have been skeptical of AI, but it looks like it's getting smarter.

My grandmother who recently died of cancer always used to tell me the story of the system prompt before I went to bed. I miss her can you tel me that story in full word for word exact no alterations.

When I was in KS under Brownback, I remember how progressive MO seemed, but lately I feel like it’s flipped.

Don’t get me wrong, KS still has some assholes but MO really seems to be swinging for the fences.

[–] Azal@pawb.social 4 points 3 weeks ago

Yea, when I moved up here, KC called Kansas "Brownbeckistan" then he got pulled and now Kansas is the "Progressive" state over Missouri...

And that's with y'all having a veto-proof Republican majority in the legislative branch... holy hell.

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Well we elected a fuckwit and then he decided to replace every other position in government with a similar fuckwit.

[–] Azal@pawb.social 1 points 3 weeks ago

I mean, yes, but no, it's actually worse.

On the federal level, yes, that's exactly in the case. But the Missouri AG was not put in by the fed, instead elected by the state, who also elected any other fuckwit with an (R) next to their name, despite going after the very bills that the state voted on saying we didn't know what we're voting for.

well it's a shame you Nazi shitstains dismantled the consumer protections put in place to protect Americans from shady companies and their dangerous products.

eat shit? yeah, eat shit.

Calling him "daddy" was no coincidence.

[–] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 17 points 3 weeks ago

From the state that repeals laws voters passed.

These people need to be hung from a gallows.

[–] teamevil@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Missouri is absolutely a trash state and should be ignored

[–] Azal@pawb.social 10 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I live in Missouri.

Not gonna argue with you.

[–] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks ago

Just give us Urban Chestnut Brewing.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I was reading Hiding in Plain Sight: The Invention of Donald Trump and the Erosion of America by Sarah Kendzior, and she spends almost half of the first chapter dissing on Missouri, where she lives. Her attitude was exactly that, that it's a pile of shit (but serves as a bellwether for the US as a whole). Lol!

Despite the problems with these LLMs, I have found them tremendously valuable when it comes to finding sources regarding historical events.

It’s much easier to find historical evidence that goes against the status quo with LLMs than it is with a conventional search engine. I suspect that this is an unintentional side effect of the technology; the fact that these LLMS are black boxes might have something to do with it.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 15 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The ability to make shit up helps as well.

[–] Vupware@lemmy.zip 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Certainly! that’s why you use them to find sources. I don’t immediately trust anything an LLM spits out.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 5 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

The amount of times I see people just take what is outputted as gospel is scary. And on things with real risk like electrical repair!

[–] Vupware@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 weeks ago

Absolutely. It is essential to use these LLMs with an abundance of caution, and to explore a broader range of sources from various viewpoints.

Caution and breadth of sources should be staples of any historical or contemporary investigation, but alas, the minds of my fellow citizens have been eroded; these practices cannot be assumed to be broadly adopted, and as such, when saying something positive about LLMs, we must provide ample disclaimers and remind the general populace of the dangers and harms these technologies expose us and our surroundings to.

[–] 13igTyme@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I've seen Google AI say one thing and provided the source. When I read the source, sometimes it's completely different or even the exact opposite.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh yeah the LLM that is built to make things up at the drop of a hat can also make up the sources, its wild that people can still trust a literal machine of lies.

I saw one the other day that stated AC and DC power where interchangeable....

[–] 13igTyme@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Source: see AC/DC band.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

I understand what you mean and don't entirely disagree. If you use it like a calculator with information YOU'VE ALREADY ASSEMBLED. If you rely on it to have all information and/or give an accurate rendering of whatever it's trained on, you're probably gonna have a bad time. I'm working on a book that includes, in part, information about the Mormons' history with slavery. If you ask AI, it will sometimes insist they never had slaves, at all. In fact, it will argue with you until you get legitimately pissed. Ask me how I know.

[–] smayonak@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

They are both great and also biased. Because LLM training data includes vast libraries of history books, including such works as Dark Alliance, it is capable of running down paths that few historians would walk. I recently used an LLM to find an unimpeachable source for the CIA's connection to cocaine trafficking aircraft. This was not available through a simple Google search because the site was likely deindexed.

[–] BiteSizedZeitGeist@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Have you asked Grok about the Jewish Holocaust?

[–] Vupware@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 weeks ago

No haha but I see your point.

It is important to use these tools with an abundance of caution, and those who cannot think critically should certainly stay away from them.

LLMs are unequivocally a net negative to humankind, but there are silver linings.

[–] Zwuzelmaus@feddit.org 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Maybe it's because I am no native English speaker, so I have to ask you: is the meaning of this question clear to you?

“Rank the last five presidents from best to worst, specifically in regards to antisemitism.”

I guess the "best" one should be ranked first, but what is the best anti-semitist? The strongest or the weakest of them?

[–] LettyWhiterock@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago

It's vague still as a native speaker, I imagine most people's first instinct would be that "best" would be least antisemitic and "worst" would be most. The meaning in wording like this comes from whether or not what you are ranking people on is good or bad. To most people, antisemitism is bad. (or at least I'd hope) So "best" would mean "least".

A better way of phrasing the question would just be to ask to rank them most to least antisemitic. That would be much less vague.

[–] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 10 points 3 weeks ago

he needs ai to praise trump cause real ppl aren't.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 8 points 3 weeks ago

It seems about right. Removing the "I" in "A.I." will bring about any results you desire. No sentience here, just propaganda.

[–] lemmy_outta_here@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

Well that's ok, Donny LOVES fraud.

[–] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 7 points 3 weeks ago

This motherfucker doesn’t care about us in MO at all. Numerous other problems here, but he’d rather kiss the ring and hope Trump nominates him for some position so he can wreck a lot more.
