Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

highly doubt it, they're trained on publicly available data mostly

If by “publicly” you mean “any data source that it managed to connect to, public or private”, then yes….

Not entirely though.

Like we know grok was trained on the fbi's cp stash, right?

Do you have any source on that?

[–] youcantreadthis@quokk.au 0 points 3 weeks ago

Dont recall where i heard it.

All the ai companies have trained on the FBI cp database but they use a coefficient of -1 thus steering it away from such content. Reinforcing against such material. Openai used to pay people for cp Idk if they still do this tho.

So why all the cp from them?
