@somarasu cheese, bread, and tomato is delicious in all forms

tomato is definitely the classic, but grilled cheese can also do ok with some other smooth soups like butternut squash or potato leek imo

Can you use a warforged character as a TOTP generator?

@maya @lmorchard ha yeah i’d figured ‘the journalist said something creepy in the quoted text’ didn’t require any postulation about the source of preexisting biases in the training corpus vs past interactions. But definitely a lot of the examples we’re seeing are of people testing the bot through boundary pushing behavior!

@robinsyl sometimes! it might also be because they got new information from going outside (actually its windy and i dont like that!) or that they’re hoping you’ll leave the door open (cats prefer to have access to their whole territory, even when they’re not actively using it)

@lmorchard @maya certainly with tiktok there seems to be a fairly significant amount of evidence that young girls thirst traps are shown to eg. logged out users and brand new accounts, which indicates a level of algorithmic promotions past “lol thats just because you’re a creepy old man who keeps liking those kinds of videos!” Ditto youtube and alt right content (though both of these companies have made efforts to clean up the most overt ways in which their algorithms lead people towards dubious content, making these patterns somewhat less obvious)

in regards to ChatGPT & other language models though, my understanding is that currently none of them remember user interactions between sessions / do not have the ability to build up specific user profiles. So if they’re producing creepy stuff it either means they do that spontaneously or that interactions within that specific session that would have prompted disconcerting behavior were intentionally left out for dramatic effect. The latter of which would of course a much more serious charge of falsifying information

@maya honestly i think society would be a lot better if we had more of that kind of energy

@varve wow congrats on the milestone!

@naye glad unpacking is going well!

@LilyVers my impulse is to say i’d respect their choice but probably need to remove myself from the situation so i dont have to watch

@LilyVers thats gotta be like 3rd date material at least, surely

@OldBrushNewPaper i also tested toot!, StarPterano, Mercury, Mastoot, & Ivory all somewhat recently but wasn’t huge fans of any of them for various reasons

@OldBrushNewPaper (all iOS)

i started out on amaroq in 2017 but when it, alas, got so out of date that it stopped running i switched to tooot which had a lot of the things i liked from amaroq (very clean minimalist interface without too many animations etc)

more recently i’ve been testing out metatext and tusker, both of which make some design choices i find strange (why are DM’s so prominent??? surely they could just be a tab in notifications instead of their whole own section) and aren’t quite feature complete (metatext doesn’t seem to have handling for reviewing follow requests for example) but as they’re still getting regular updates i’m sure it’ll come eventually
