I saw an article about one trained on research papers. (Built by Meta, maybe?) It also spewed out garbage: it would make up answers that mimicked the style of the papers but had its own fabricated content! Something about the largest nuclear reactor made of cheese in the world...

It also gives context for what way things could be worse. Compared to a completely dissociated suggestion like, "the entire universe didn't spontaneously turn into farts therefore this isn't the worst timeline."

It demonstrates how things could be worse, but aren't.

Cheese is the answer. The worst possible timeline would not have cheese.

I don't think so. It reads to me like, if one day of massive violence from people generally, happened, then after that the police would be given freedom to crack down severely on everything.

"Fear leads to...'the security of My New Empire'"

Addendum: I re-read the quote and now I feel I can read it either way.

How many?

It's complex.

While a CVSS score of 9.9 indicates critical severity, it’s important to approach the situation with a balanced perspective.

The whole article sounds like somebody asked chatGPT to explain the tweet in more detail.

Tri-lo-BITE!

P.S. I'm pretty sure trilobites are post-cambrian but they're all dinosaurs so it doesn't matter.

"They called him Flipper, Flipper, faster than lightning..." But Hammerhead is a baddie and sharks aren't supposed to be baddies any more. Sharks are friends, not threats. So Hammerhead slipped quietly into the distance to await his time of glory, when one day he will return to rule the Ocean with an iron ~~fist~~ head.

Incidentally, dolphins have had a troubled role-reversal in the fashion of popular opinion too. They were friends! Companions! Even amusements for a while, before everyone agreed they should be free. Now they are wanton rapists and bullies. Shed a tear for the poor, maligned dolphin, carrying the disgrace of his ill-behaved friends and relations. All Dolphins Are Not Bad.

One day the Bottlenose and the Hammerhead will return as friends, splendorous and loved. But will they find the World worthy of their love? Or will they leave, with a parting farewell, and a thanks for all the fish.

Seriously?

You think way too little about dinosaurs.

Call your credit company and block the transaction.

Remind them that if they don't, you have a hitman awaiting a victim.

 

I've been playing around with self hosting for file sharing, backups, and a handful of other ideas I might one day get round to. I like the idea of a mesh VPN and being able to, for example, connect a travelling laptop to a 'host' laptop nearby, though my only public ip is a VPS in another country.

Of all the options I found, I liked the look of Nebula most. Fiddly in some places, but it's working nicely for me, and I appreciate some of the simplicity of design.

I'm wondering if people here have much experience of it, though? My biggest concern is over its future. With,

  1. The Defined Networking site focusing on making money off it, and
  2. The Android app doesn't allow full configuration (including the firewall, so I can't host a website from a phone) but - I heard - does if you use Defined Networking's paid service for configuration,

makes me worry they might be essentially trying to deprecate viable FOSS Nebula in favour of a paid or controlled service.

Any thoughts? Insight?
