    Nobody Cares: Technology-only Edition

    How to tell us you're old without saying "I'm old". Presumably the Office suite automatically updates, in which case this is just included in the update (probably before Microsoft made this announcement).

    Nobody Cares About Greenland

    I particularly enjoyed the moment when the article launched into a history lesson, presumably for the benefit of any Trumpians who might happen to stumble across it.

    Nobody Cares: PRS

    I can't find an emoticon that adequately expresses my head-tilting bemusement at that. America, you weird.

    https://books.google.co.uk/ Google Books is already a name in use for a Google product. Confusion awaits!

    Anthropic says Claude got the idea it should be evil from the internet

    Too late. LLms have already read all of that, and it informs their entire 'persona'. LLMs are a mirror of humans on the Internet.

    A decade or so later, and here I am.

    :welcome: I'm still intermittently in SL, along with some of the other folk hereabouts. Not many of us left, though.

    Let's hear it! Take Five, Dave Brubeck And for good measure, a couple of other pieces that are also in 5/4 Everything's Alright (Jesus Christ Superstar); Rice/Lloyd-Webber Mission Impossible; Lalo Schifrin

    Meet the AI jailbreakers: ‘I see the worst things humanity has produced’

    There's not a lot that can be done about that. LLMs have no intrinsic memory, so every query has to contain everything that is needed to support it.

    Nobody Cares about Britain

    What I find worrying from that is that on the left-leaning side, there are multiple parties competing for votes, whereas on the right-leaning side there are only two parties, which implies that the left side is going to fragment far more seriously than the right.

    I have so many questions.

    Nobody cares about "AI" (Chatbot: I disagree.)

    Where can I download a model that doesn't incorporate these absurd "adopt this personality" prompts?

    RIP the Metaverse

    SL's unique selling point was that it allowed its residents to build the world themselves, and even to make money out of it. No modern company would ever allow its users that amount of freedom. That's why Meta was doomed from the start. We'll never see another SL.

    The expression on that cat's face! "Seriously?..."

    Nobody Cares About Greenland

    Quite often over the past weeks my finger had hovered over the "New Topic" button with the intention of starting a "World War III" topic, in readiness. *sigh*
