When an LLM outputs, “I panicked”, it does not mean it panicked. It means that based on the preceding sentences, “I panicked” was a likely thing to come next.

It means it’s read a lot of fiction, in which drama is necessary.

It didn’t “panic”. It didn’t *anything*. It wrote a likely sequence of words based on a human request, which it then converted into code that matched those words somewhat. And a human, for some reason, allowed that code to be evaluated without oversight.

@tryst Yarp! I used to have an APS compact camera, though I don't remember which it was.

The legacy of it now is that there's a size of crop sensor named "APS-C" after the 3:2 size of "Classic" APS crop shots.

@tryst @Jencen Actually for Core Element in about four weeks but I could take it to EMF too!

@Jencen maybe in the future, but doing an NFC thing is outside of my comfort zone, plus I have a deadline for this ^^;

@TheMNWolf oh sorry no, haha; I've never seen one of those giant ones in my entire life! ^^;

@Jencen I think I'm gonna remove the tape-mech entirely and replace it with a screen for information display :3

@TheMNWolf I'll keep that in mind, but ultimately it's not a deal breaker if the sound is a bit rough. ^^

It's a Panasonic RX-5010ls (like the one pictured)

almost midnight rivaclaw thinkings: What if I turned the grotty old boombox that I own into a portable raspberry pi based audio player? 🤔​

@juniper that's so fucking gross. I'm sorry that you had to deal with that :(
