The grand hilbert hotel is a metaphor about infinity. If a hotel has an infinite number of rooms, it will have enough room for him. If every room is full, they can all still move up by one room number. Infinity means you can always shift everyone up by 1 room number.

The ship of theseus is a philosophical question about whether it’s still the same ship after having every board and nail in it replaced over centuries of repairs gradually replacing all of its parts.

Asking if Sisyphus is happy is a reference to a famous Albert Camus (French absurdity philosopher) quote “One must imagine Sisyphus happy”

So first of all, you shouldn’t involve yourself in your friend’s business. Fraud is generally frowned upon.

But secondly, you know that ChatGPT was trained on the entire internet, right? Like, every book. I don’t think “more books” is gonna help.

I hope you take your computer skills and make something of yourself. Try not to get any more involved in this scheme, seriously. You don’t need this crap marring your reputation.

Besides, there are better reasons/ways to fight the system than helping other people avoid learning.

Just that they’re no easier to use to fool an anti-AI system than using ChatGPT, Gemini, Bing, or Claude. Those AI detectors also give false positives on works made by humans. They’re unreliable in the first place.

Basically, they’re “boring text detectors” more than anything else.

I believe commercial LLMs have some kind of watermark when you apply AI for grammar and fixing in general, so I just need an AI to make these works undetectable with a private LLM.

That’s not how it works, sorry.

Quantized with more parameters is generally better than floating point with fewer parameters. If you can squeeze a 14b parameter model down to a 4-bit int quantization it’ll still generally outperform a 16-bit Floating Point 7b parameter equivalent.

No, I was genuinely guessing at what you were getting at, since you were alluding to one particular unnamed nation that relies heavily on slave labor. IDK if you opened that article, but it’s from last month and is a major report by the AP, so US slave labor’s been on my mind because I read the news.

You then seemingly got annoyed at my guess and decided it was some sort of debate. I pointed out why my guess was reasonable and now you’re trying to take a victory lap because I apparently annoyed you by not being a goddamn mind reader.

Seriously, you’re acting like I’m the one with the attitude here and all I’ve done is reflect yours back to you in one comment because you acted like I don’t know what slavery is. But I’m the one being an asshole?

Hard to say for certain, per a recent AP report, privacy laws protect the info of which private companies specifically are using prison labor at any given time in several states.

Seriously though, check out that article. Wild.

Have you read the 13th amendment? Prisoners in the US are legally allowed to be used for slave labor. That’s what I thought you were referencing

… the US?

I think most people would agree with you but would call it “the economy” since they can’t imagine a non-capitalist economy.

Or vote farther left in the primaries, dragging the dems left kicking and screaming

The word “barring” in the context of my comment means “with the exception of”

Yes, quite rare.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh man!

I totally forgot there even was a cat in Haruhi! Haven’t seen that show in like 15 years.

I stated the exception to the rule in my own comment, I’m just not gonna hedge my bets when the odds are 99.967% in my favor.

Thanks for the adorable photo!

My understanding is that the X chromosome carries the gene for red cat fur. Female calicos have one X with the red fur gene and one without. If a cat only has X chromosomes that carry the red fur gene, they’ll be an red-furred cat, which is why the only male calicos are XXY. An XY male cat with the red fur gene on their X chromosome just comes out red.

I don’t see how some separate “simple congenital deformity” other than an extra X could account for red fur.

I could be wrong, I’m not a cat scientist, I just grew up knowing hundreds of cats.

Learned about calico cats or kids raised by cat breeders?

Either way, as long as you fact check, doesn’t matter where you first learned something.

Which anime, btw? I’m curious

Ah, you’re right. It’d be 0.03333333…%

I’ll edit

What do you think the word “barring” means? My original comment noted the sole exceptional case.
