Yeah, I reckon he could pay a bunch of dweebs to do racist reinforcement learning, but then the secret circle becomes so big that it's only a matter of time until there's a leak to the press. Plus, he really hates paying people.

So I picked up Bender and Hanna's new book just now at the bookseller's and saw four other books dragging AI.

Feeling very bullish on sneer futures.

Someone ought to tell him that they'll sue him using ChatGPT (in the most smug possible manner)

I'm reaching for a big stick whenever "human" and "optimization" show up in the same sales pitch.

Pro-tier sneers by seasoned veterans, get em while they're hot!

Edit: I am reliably informed that it is no longer hot.

Looks like a local boy did good.

I linked the /r/nashville post since it has a good description of the website. Users can see a history of rent prices for a given property and its neighbors, which gives some leverage in negotiations. For more context, local rent prices are down 6% from highs.

I'm curious to see if it takes off, and how robust it is against adversarial tactics like bogus reports and nuisance lawsuits.

EDIT: Fixed "Blocked" issue by linking to archive

EDIT2: Also linked to the correct archive page

John Mulaney gets paid by prompt fondlers to tell jokes at a party. He spends 45 minutes telling them that they are idiots, which is nice.
