Edit: I absolutely did find Waldo! That was fun.

He's in the bathroom stall.

Had to look up who that was and then just searched for the red hat.

If anything, I think they'd consider AI's involvement as a strike against the prosecution if they were on a jury.

Not like food or clothing, but stuff like DLC content, streaming services, and LLMs.

At least personally, I've seen basically three buckets of opinions from non-technical people on AI. There's a decent-sized group of people who loathe anything to do with it due to issues you've mentioned, the art issue I mentioned, or other specific things that overall add up to the point that they think it's a net harm to society, a decent-sized group of people who basically never think about it at all or go out of their way to use anything related to it, and then a small group of people who claim to be fully aware of the limitations and consider themselves quite rational but then will basically ask ChatGPT about literally anything and trust what it says without doing any additional research. It's the last group that I'm personally most concerned about because I've yet to find any effective way of getting them to recognize the cognitive dissonance (although sometimes at least I've been able to make enough of an impression that they stop trying to make ChatGPT a participant in every single conversation I have with them).

What I’m suggesting instead is to not tie a date or a goal to it. Let your interests and desires guide your learning process, not the calendar. I’m also advocating for reflection in the choice of what to pursue. Learning manipulation techniques and scams because you’re interested in the ingenuity of ideas or want to better defend yourself and your loved ones may count as smelling the roses, but learning those same techniques to apply them to other people for personal gain does not.

I assume that's how the top level comment posted the tree which is in a <pre><code> structure.

I kinda do want to go back to oldschool bbses, with cool text-mode lightbar interfaces.

I thought it was just a straggler.

Just the fact that they managed to dodge Nvidia and launch a SOTA model with their own TPU's for training/inference is a big deal, and takes a lot of resources and expertise not all competitors have in-house. I suspect that decision will continue to pay dividends for them.

As long as there is competition in LLM's, Google will now be towards the front of the pack. They have everything they need to be competitive.

How did the money actually leave her account once they had access? Was it wired?

Unfortunately the solution for you right now is to focus on rebuilding and acceptance. This is a massive problem, you aren't alone, and it's a reminder that there are shitty people in this world. There needs to be an alert and approval mechanism for outbound wires that older people can be strongly encouraged to set up. Sons and daughters can be notified if there's a massive outbound wire pending and intervene -- scammers are often posing as these people.

OP is not in the U.S.

That denunciation only ever came from people with low life experience and oversimplified mental models of "bad".

Most users of harder drugs indicate past use of marijuana. Additionally, marijuana gives many their first taste of doing business with drug dealers and 'breaks their cherry.' When they decide they want to try something else they have already gained experience locating dealers and engaging with them. Legalizing cannabis helps here because its users won't engage with dealers to score, they'll go to the store and buy a regulated product.

Most people who are in hospice indicate they drank water in the past. Is water consumption a gateway to dying?

It's definitely a gateway drug, but only from the perspective that you've forced people to establish black market financial connections. Once you've figured out how to get something illegal it opens a whole new world.

But, the gateway drug idea was itself used as an argument against legalization.

We need to be careful with logic problems like, "Most users of harder drugs indicate past use of marijuana."

All users of all drugs report drinking water in the last 12 weeks.

These kinds of statements don't mean anything, but they sound important to the average reader.

Correlation != Causation

Yeah, it'll be less input tokens if you omitted them yourself. It's not guaranteed to keep the response the same, though. You're asking the model to work with less context and more ambiguity at that point. So stripping your prompt of stopwords is going to save you negligible $ and potentially cost a lot in model performance.
