Can people please stop with the "Epstein didn't kill himself" memes? It's widely accepted already and I just don't care.

As someone who was "the kid who sold stuff from his locker", this really hits close to home for me.

The only thing the current year internet climate of "if you use the wrong pronouns or disapprove of my internet identity I will throw a fit" has done is create a culture of fakeness, where disapproval is explicitly disallowed. As a result, the disapproval shifts underground, be it into the Kiwi Farms, the "alt-fedi"/"dark fedi" instances of the world, and to the private Discord and Telegram channels. Hell sometimes it even goes on in a hidden "mod channel" in the same Discord server you're on.

That's when you find out you're being ghosted, and as Chloe Sagal learned at the very end even being trans won't save you from this treatment. Why do you think a common accusation online is to yell at people and accuse them of being farmers?

The guy with the "progress" flag and he/him pronouns is really shitting on you in a private chat and calling you crazy. You don't know it until he goes from talking to you to holding a conversation on the level of a Postal 2 NPC while saying online, or double checking when you post.

Acceptance? Ha. As if. You won't get accepted in this internet and as Zamii070 learned, if you draw the wrong thing you are so canceled, but you can keep shit talking people as long as they don't find out (which they eventually will given how catty people are online, or how they can't hide behaviors well).

New paper shows that LLMs trained on "A is B" can't infer that "B is A"... Which was a known failure mode of "neural networks" back in 1988.

"In math, when one make a conjecture, a simple counterexample suffices. If I say all odd numbers are prime, 1, 3, 5, and 7 may count in my favor, but at 9 the game is over... In neural network discussion, people are often impressed by successes, and pay far too little regard to what failures are trying to tell them."

You can now place brick tiles in the level editor, but that's basically it for now.
