This is Mastodon and this is why it rocks!

not to sound like a huge communist but I don’t think millions of us should have to die hungry and in debt so a couple dudes with really really really big boats can have really really really really big boats

Happy people can't be monetized, this is why billionaires and tech companies need to keep you unhappy, angry, or scared. Resist. Be happy.

If you're still using Chrome for performance reasons:
- Firefox is now faster than Chrome out-of-the-box
- Firefox uses less memory than Chrome
- Contrary to Chrome, Firefox does not restrict Ad blockers, which will make your browsing experience much faster (and safer).

Just got hit with:

"But can you prove ChatGPT is *not* intelligent in the human sense?"

Oh my that old chestnut. 🙄

I am not making a claim, I am merely rejecting somebody else's claim that ChatGPT is intelligent in the human sense.

The burden of proof is on whoever claims that ChatGPT is intelligent in the human sense. That proof would also need to be accompanied by a clear, unambiguous, testable definition of what "intelligent" means, that ideally includes humans but excludes calculators.

Saying "LLMs are intelligent because they can learn" is like saying "computer programs have legs because they can run."
