Optimally observing the breath and the body first. Trying to observe thoughts without that solid foundation, tends to get us caught up in our thoughts.

And yeah, we do have to be aware when our thinking hijacks are attention. But the focus of attention should first of all be on the breath and the breathing before it shifts to any sort of deeper observation of thoughts and feelings.

And that’s generally good advice whether you’re on the cushion or not. Thoughts and feelings can easily carry us away. Our body and our breathing is always in the present.

If sitting meditation doesn’t work for you, there’s walking meditation, Qigong, body scans.

Really it’s just about finding your breath and your body and settling into the present and sitting meditation is just a tool to teach us how to do that.

The meme is shit by the way.

The idea isn’t to build up tension all day and then let it go when you finally get to the cushion. The idea is to learn to let go on the cushion so all day you can let shit go.

That’s why we call meditation practice. It’s so we can implement it in the moment when we need it.

That would be perfect lol

Would make more sense if it was two female characters.

Plus, the oligarch already has a utility belt.

Corporations are inherently evil.

More and more people are using speech to text. And it does show how differently people speak than write (apparently I never say my be in because, for example).

But it also means that llms aren’t only being fed text, but also speech converted into text.

As well as revealing epigenetics. Which killed the nature/nurture shit.

Fucked up is a matter of perspective. If you’re an oligarch, it’s all going according to plan.

Yeah I know. But I wanted to point out that the comment in the article wasn’t so much a real consideration as business risk analysis 101. Along with a healthy dose of corporate spin.

A spokeswoman for OpenAI declined to comment beyond pointing BI to a corporate blogpost from May, in which the company says it takes web crawler permissions “into account each time we train a new model.

The translation for this is do we stand to profit more than we stand to be punished.

Basic capitalist risk assessment in other words.

I imagine some people already are.

I thought the main issue was that AI don’t really know how to say I don’t know or second guess themselves, as it would take a lot more robust architecture with multiple feedback loops. Like a brain.

Anyway, LLM’s aren’t the only AI that do this. So them being trained on Facebook data certainly isn’t the whole issue.

It’s not posting is the point.

Android phones back all photos up onto the Google cloud by default. Not everyone knows to turn this off.

Even funnier if Google also partners with a competitor, and Elon’s employees have to go back to flip phones

We have a refrigerator from the '80s that runs like a champ.

Solved the energy problem by putting solar panels on the roof.

I guess that’s when I switch my laptop over to Linux. Which is back how it was before I switched it to Windows for school.

My PC is already Linux.

If I had altered a primary source this little on a term paper I would get flagged for plagiarism.

The AI copy pasted down to the amount of cheese and then changed some words slightly to hide the theft.

It came from Reddit

Only less efficient.

That’s also happening, yes. But ChatGPT is also reproducing large chunks of training data verbatim.

This isn’t just about using ChatGPT to summarize articles or bypass paywalls. But also about copyright infringement (and no, reproducing large chunks of training data verbatim is not fair use).

People are naturally going to pay less attention the more cars drive for them. You can’t partially automate steering. Driver assisted steering is as close as it can be before the liability needs to fall on Tesla and other software manufacturers. A car isn’t a plane. The driver needs to be in control when split second decisions happen, like a child running after a ball.

If I’m paying for an autopilot, I’m not the pilot. I.e., the driver. The car is. And Tesla’s marketing bullshit and lawyers are going to fail here. This does not fall under puffery. It’s false advertising that’s causing consumers to place undue trust in a product. And the insurance industry is quite concerned just where the liability falls in all of this as well. And as they’re the ones currently having to pay out claims when Tesla wins, they have a vested interest seeing that Tesla doesn’t.
