Grok? You're OK giving money to elon musk?

I'm a liberal and I've lived in Texas (Austin) for 20 years. It is infuriating when I am on some liberal-oriented forum, someone says we should force Texas out of the union or whatever, and everyone cheers. ~40% of Texans didn't vote for Trump, and in absolute numbers are a greater number of liberals than most other states in their entirety ... yet my supposed fellows want to write us off. Ugly indeed.

> There is no myth here

The myth is in reducing complex behavior to a single dimension and calling it "advanced" rather than, well, more human-like. I'm skeptical of the utility of this "advanced" conception. There's no objective reason to view tools, language, etc as particularly interesting. Subjectively of course it's understandable why we're interested in what makes us human.

Even if it's not, it's still total garbage. It reads like the Critical Drinker screaming "if only these people put their emotions and flaws to one side and behaved like completely rational beings with perfect information!"

Just leaving some links here because I had been researching this intensively before a planned shoulder surgery:

(Definitely adding this to my list)

Frogpad: German language one handed keyboard. Unfortunately discontinued http://frogpad.com/

Mirrorboard (my favorite): Intruiging mirror solution that builds upon the assumption that it is easier to access muscle memory from the other hand when you've learned it before https://blog.xkcd.com/2007/08/14/mirrorboard-a-one-handed-ke...

Mistel Barocco fully split Keyboard: Can (and unfortunately must) be programmed without software. Right half is the main keyboard. Left side connects to it, works also in standalone mode but is not programmable then. https://mistelkeyboard.com/products/bd20945a731491407807e80d...

One thing I find that constantly makes pain for users is assuming that any of these models are thinking, when in reality they're completing a sentence. This might seem like a nitpick at first, but it's a huge deal in reality: if you ask a language model to evaluate whether a solution is right, it's not evaluating the solution, it's giving you a statistically likely next sentence where yes and no are fairly common. If you tell it's wrong, the likely next sentence is something affirming it, but it doesen't really make a difference.

The only way to use a tool like this is to give a problem that fits context, evaluate the solution it chugs at you and re-roll it if it wasn't correct. Don't tell a language model to think because it can't and won't. It's a way less efficient way of re-rolling the solution

How else do you tell the bot you do not wish to be scraped? Your analogy is lacking - you didn’t order a package, you never wanted a package, and the postman is taking something, not leaving it, and you’ve explicitly left a sign saying ‘you are not welcome here’.
