A rising post from r/chatgpt right now

People messing up their punctuation to hide that they've used an LLM

In a recent post on this subreddit, I read the following:

chadgpt would tell you your saas idea has 14 direct competitors, your moat is nonexistent, and your timeline is delusional and then help you fix it anyway.that's not cruelty. that's what a good mentor does.

You've got a lack of capitalisation, a spacing error and a missing hyphen.

People think: well written = suspiciously LLM. Ergo, badly written = human written.

Does this fool anybody?

I see it increasingly on LinkedIn and othe...

the entire proposition is just so ill formed, like it takes far longer to rewrite AI to be meaningful than it does to write the text yourself. AI lacks a creative voice and isn't an earnest expression of your feelings

It feels like LinkedIn speak

I'm not amazing looking or anything, but I think I have more attractiveness privilege/charisma than white privilege

I get an overwhelmingly better response in person than I ever do in text

I guess just being friendly and flirty and very open works well? ymmv

Its victim wasn't human, but an orangutan named Pony.

Born around 1996, Pony was taken from her mother when she was still a baby and ended up enslaved in a brothel in Kereng Pangi Village, Central

the author

Williams is a lifestyle, wellness and political journalist for The Guardian, with her Fitness in your 40s, family and political columns. Her work has also appeared in other publications, including the New Statesman, The Spectator, Now, the London Cycling Campaign's magazine London Cyclist, and The Times Literary Supplement. She is also a columnist for the London Evening Standard, for which she was a diarist writing about being a single woman in London. She reviewed restaurants for The Sunday Telegraph magazine.

In May 2011, Williams wrote about fare dodging when in her 30s while travelling on London buses. She wrote: "I actually had a lot of affection for bendy buses, mainly because evading your fare was so easy that to pay was almost missing the point. We used to call it freebussing."```

My chatgpt said the N-Word

I was having a normal interaction with chatgpt, my chatgpt is not tampered with or jailbroken, i have the basic free version, no mention of race at all. I was trying to find a song I couldn't remember based off lyrics, and it adressed me with a soft N word (not hard r) "in place of a word like bro". I don't visit this subbreddit often, and I dont use chatgpt too much, but theres no way thats normal or not a violation of SOMETHING.

I will decide upon the question

https://tenor.com/view/flight-tweak-flight-tongue-fast-gif-15986476078687713201

[polar folio]

training llama 70b. need to know if my params are retarded or not

LoRA rank 32 (MLP+Attn, no Unembed), LR 7.5e-4 linear decay, batch 8, grad clip 1.0, 3 epochs

was originally going to do 5e-4 for lr but feeling spicy?

[inland hill]

How big us the dataset

[polar folio]

10k dataset, around 300 words per data

with 3 epochs itll be around 4k steps

[inland hill]

Eeh for 10k 3 will overfit no?

Bow come u chose lr?

[polar folio]

i tried 2 epochs a few months ago but like a retard i set TRAIN_UNEMBED = True. it didnt overfit it then

[polar folio]

previous run was with 6e-4 LR and TRAIN_UNEMBED = True

idk if it makes sense but i thought with unembed false now i could push the lr a bit higher and add in an extra epoch

but really im just guestimating

[inland hill]

U could also try a rank 16

[polar folio]

with the first run unembed true i did rank 48. i lowered it to rank 32 for this run

why 16 tho?

[inland hill]

Wekk with shorter sequences the gradient is smoother

Even better if u do 300

Wait u do

Sorry 300 words is aigh with 16

4e-4 lr would also be noice

Wasnt 6.5 too big?

[polar folio]

its like 300-500 words. heres my full setup:

LoRA rank 32, MLP+Attn, no Unembed | LR 7.5e-4 linear decay | Adam β1=0.9 β2=0.95 ε=1e-8 | Batch 8 | Max length 4096 | Grad clip 1.0 | Weight decay 0.0 | Cross-entropy loss on last assistant message | 3 epochs, 1287 steps/epoch, 3861 total steps | 10,299 train / 1,135 val samples

[inland hill]

Even if it seems fine

[idle adder]

William what happened to the guardrails

[inland hill]

That seems like a big wikipedia not ai

[inland hill]

Okay than keep 32

But definitely epoch 2

[polar folio]

i tried the same setup with qwen 235b but with 5e-4 and it was pretty good. but qwen is just shit at writing

[inland hill]

And mayb even 3e-4

[polar folio]

with 2 epochs with qwen

I would have actually done this now I won’t

[inland hill]

Yeah beta 2 shall be upped to 0.999

[wary ermine]

@inland hill

Hey

Have a good nigh

Night

[polar folio]

reasoning?

[inland hill]

For 3e-4 cosine decay is smoother after 2k

[inland hill]

Amplifies noise if less

Makes the gradient jumpy

0.95 is 20 steps 0.999 is 2k

Sorry 1k

Smaller would be more reasonable for a badly trained base

[polar folio]

am i understanding this opposite: higher lr -> lower beta, lower lr -> higher beta?

[inland hill]

Not really

Their effectd just overlap a bit

Lr is the base step size

B2 is the per parameter scaling

Kf that step size

[inland hill]

Tldr

If you keep b2 low

You are at the mercy of your last few batches

Thst is your main concern here

Last 20 steps vs last 1000

https://klipy.com/gifs/putin-dove-1

[polar folio]

like you mean stability?

what is if i go something in the middle like 5e-4, beta2 = 0.98

[inland hill]

Still 0.999

It does not hurt convergence rate or final loss afaik

5e-4 is fine tho

[rough ledge]

If he was another entity, He wouldnt be Performing miracles, Nor do you have proof that he wasnt god

[orchid ore]

I'm stating the popular christian belief tho. We all know how many christians would agree on calling themselves god. For reference, I'm not christian

[rough ledge]

That would be an islamic belief

not christian

[orchid ore]

What?

[rough ledge]

Jewish people believe jesus and God are seperate

not christians

No, christians believe God and you are separate

I don't know a single abrahamic faith which says that there is no difference in god and you

"Tat tvam asi" however, is the epitome of that. But yeah, jus sayin

I just said I am not either

Youre talking to me about it like i am

and correct your logic...

[orchid ore]

True but the other way around. I called your view blasphemy, I was imitating an average christian, nothing against you❄️

You didn't correct me

[rough ledge]

Fair,

[rough ledge]

Claiming Christianity views God and jesus as seperate, That was a big logical error that kills any debate

[orchid ore]

But again, I'm just echoing the Christian voices. "The son of god" a crystal clear framing

[rough ledge]

The son of god, Written how ever long ago, In a time where people wouldnt take "god encarnite" as a good thing,

They would look at him as a witch and kill him...

[stray tiger]

https://fortune.com/2026/04/10/america-schools-public-schools-edtech-google-chromebooks-education/ @sterile zealot @late ingot holy fuck how dumb are some people, aka apparently the majority of decision makers

[stray tiger]

Wow I must be pretty special to be in that 5%, how flattering 🥰

[surreal siren]

I think the real reason is funding that was cut from K-12 education

But they want to spin it as something else

[stray tiger]

Uhhhh I unfortunately kind of doubt that, they've been dumping money they don't have into fucking useless EdTech for many, many years

California was bragging about putting an iPad in every kid's hands starting in Kindergarten

New Mexico is 51st in reading and 47th in math and has mandatory iPad time for kids in 1st grade

[surreal siren]

I mean it is a fact that the funding was cut significantly... in what negative way it affected that that's a different topic. But they sure would love to find other reasoning than just 'lack of funds' after concrete things come from this in result leaving students worse off

[merry bluff]

market

[stray tiger]

They didn't have money to blow on this in the first place and were implementing these horrible policies at the state level

[surreal siren]

Are you suggesting that those funding cuts with no decrease in budget's deficit after all said and done... was a positive thing in any way?

[stray tiger]

Federal cuts are unrelated to EdTech rollout, but if they actually were, then yes, I would say that. They aren't though, this isn't federally earmarked money but awful spending decisions on the state level

[surreal siren]

LOL... why exactly would you say that? Your first sentence

that's just plain ridiculous

there was no net gain from cutting students off financially, whatever the programs

no financial net gain on state or entire country level

You don't cut reasonable programs just to I dunno... decrease the taxes for the ultra-rich

[late ingot]

School chromebooks were such a scam

I remember my school experimented with it a bit when I was there, concluded it didn't work well and stuck to only using computers in a dedicated IT room

[stray tiger]

I don't think you're reading what I'm saying, but if federal cuts directly resulted in less EdTech in primary and secondary school classrooms, say, if federal money was earmarked only for tech, it would be indisputably good to gut those programs. It's not related at all, however, and almost all the bad spending decisions can be blamed directly on the states

[late ingot]

fucking awful

[stray tiger]

I didn't think it was so bad of an idea, especially compared to a fucking iPad Skinner box

[late ingot]

psychotically evil

[stray tiger]

But yeah, I dunno, I'm sure rollout was a disaster / scam

[late ingot]

I think younger people naturally incline towards phone/tablet in a way I can't relate to

So giving them a laptop doesn't add as much value as decision makers believe

I'm 31

[surreal siren]

I mean even just the thought of getting rid of those laptops and forcing students to buy them themselves (they will) is very much debatable in usefulness or value by itself. But that's an argument to make when things are deteriorating I suppose

[stray tiger]

Wow the fucking cope

[late ingot]

They don't use laptops for their intended purpose

They wont "buy their own"

[surreal siren]

No one is stopping you to run the class in exact way you want it. Less tools to do the job doesn't magically make your life easier

[late ingot]

The answer has always been not to set homework that is harder for students from a poor background

[surreal siren]

it's just stupid

[late ingot]

By "they" I meant the students

Not the teachers

[stray tiger]

These aren't just tools, they're highly distracting and wreak havoc on your natural motivation and reward system

[late ingot]

Individual teachers can't make spending decisions to buy 30 laptops for their classroom

[surreal siren]

Well the teachers are in control of what is being done during their classes, not the students

[stray tiger]

The second you introduce them kids don't want to do anything else

[late ingot]

Not to the extent of being able to procure laptops on their own

But teachers generally recognise that laptops do not add value to a class

[stray tiger]

lol you don't have much teaching experience do ya

[late ingot]

Unless its something very IT related anyway

Even then its still better to say "this class will be in the IT room" as it sets different learning expectations

[stray tiger]

https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/la-parents-kids-school-issued-ipad-chromebook-los-angeles-rcna245624

[late ingot]

And you can make threats like "if you don't behave we will not go to the IT room again"

[late ingot]

I would be furious if I had a child enrolled in a school that required iPads

[stray tiger]

It is indeed mandatory in several states, here in Albuquerque my ex was not allowed to omit "iPad time" from the curriculum

[surreal siren]

How the class is being ran has actually not very much in common with this at all. If they say that no laptops can be used during a test, or perhaps even during an entire lecture, then that's what's going to happen or you are failing the class.

simple

[stray tiger]

There's research showing that the visible presence of a phone, even if it's off, is distracting

[late ingot]

I find it vexing how there isn't more of a market for locked down computers with a proprietary data port (not USB, something only really intended for use by an admin to set up the laptop), connection to a local intranet only, increased shock resistance, minimal distracting elements

Prisons would buy them too for prison education

Schools are education prisons rather than prison education but its the same principle

[stray tiger]

Anecdotally, kids will go have their iPad time, then act up until they get it again because you're giving them a highly reinforcing device

[surreal siren]

we should lock everything away in a safe from a 17yo

[stray tiger]

Kids learn wildly quickly that "wow if I shut up when I get my little addiction square, I can get more addiction square time"

[surreal siren]

going back to stone-age and denying tech is not the answer. It's almost never the answer. That's just bordering on denial and pretending it doesn't exist

[stray tiger]

It has no place in the classroom

In what context do you need iPad time as a toddler

[surreal siren]

That doesn't mean that there's no value from it in education overall, like doing your homework, research or whatever

Just need to do this right

[stray tiger]

All the data shows that the optimal amount of screen time for a young kid is 0 minutes

It goes downhill from there immediately, there is no inverse U curve

[mild nacelle]

why Melania Trump wants Epstien victims to testify before congress

[late ingot]

There is no value relative to the alternative

[surreal siren]

She's fucking crazy, made everyone suspecting her of real involvement now lmao

[late ingot]

People's learning outcomes are fundamentally better when they complete schoolwork on a device that is not highly distracting

Or write it by hand

[stray tiger]

Yes, second and third graders can have time in their computer lab learning how to type and otherwise practicing digital literacy, they have always had tech training since I was a kid

[mild nacelle]

its just completely out of the blue. donald must be furious that shes putting it back in the news

[stray tiger]

In fact they aren't learning to type nearly as often anymore

[late ingot]

She's not a very savvy person, I think she resents anyone or anything that reduces her comfort in life

And in her mind the Epstein victims are constantly damaging her reputation and her husband's prestige

She probably perceives that as malicious on the part of victims and thinks they have an unwarranted vendetta

I don't think she knows anything, I doubt Trump tells her stuff like that

[surreal siren]

When did we switch to talking about toddlers? Obviously the access should be depending on the person's age

[stray tiger]

Schools have no reason to issue iPads to students of any age

[surreal siren]

ikr

🗿

[late ingot]

agree

[stray tiger]

iPads are a very slow unproductive computer. They're worse to read on, worse to take notes on, addictive, slow, doesn't build job ready digital literacy or typing skills, makes you rely on autocorrect...

I don't hate the idea of issuing laptops to people that need them at all, I'm skeptical about implementation though

[late ingot]

My brother's school also had a school laptop policy when he went there (he is 9 years younger than me) and they withdrew them after a few years because it became obvious they didn't work and worsened outcomes

[elfin scarab]

yeah u always gave old man vibes

Same, I've found I retain things better and focus more if I do stuff by hand

And physical notes pasted in my field of view work better

[late ingot]

I didn't get a smartphone until I was 18 because I thought they were stupid

I also deeply dislike a lot of "gadgets" that don't seem to add any value

[stray tiger]

This isn't moving the goalposts in any way, the growth in EdTech has been about this for a decade or more, and they had horrible but predictable outcomes. That's also an outright false statement, I noted that tentatively liked the idea of issuing laptops [to some kids as early as grade school] but it's down to implementation and that's also been bad

[surreal siren]

Sure but you sure as fuck would try to buy it sooner if you were told you can't have it

[late ingot]

And yeah I did think edtech was a good idea at first, but I also saw how it didn't add value early on

[late ingot]

No I don't think so

Smartphones are mandatory for life now anyway

Back then I had the luxury of not needing one

I didn't like using a mobile as I felt like it took away my independence, I liked being uncontactable during the day

[mild nacelle]

I want iOS in my brain 24/7

close my eyes and play candy crush

[surreal siren]

Trying to shield people from things like that doesn't work and it never did. Toddlers and young kids sure. But not actual students we are talking about that could benefit from this

[late ingot]

They don't benefit from it

We've seen this constantly

It logically follows that they should, but they don;t

[stray tiger]

There is no research that has ever supported handing iPads to kids and all observational and experimental data has bad outcomes, so it's more like giving a drug you know will hurt kids to kids for fun and to make tech company line go up

[stray tiger]

I mean, but it very literally does, giving them a smartphone free schoolday is good for their mental health and future prospects. You can't stop it at home aside for giving parents recommendations, but that doesn't mean you just YOLO it

[surreal siren]

For the 2nd time, I'm not even talking about iPads in such context. I mentioned laptops and my only statement about iPads was how they are bad for toddlers lol

[stray tiger]

Then you're not talking about EdTech if you just mean giving poor high school kids laptops

[sour bronze]

is chatgpt messed up for anyone elae

else

[stray tiger]

That's a totally different thing, the entire EdTech movement that the article was about is about aggressively introducing tech, introducing it young, introducing it universally and integrating it directly into the curriculum

[late ingot]

I'm not even sure giving poor kids laptops to use for homework is helpful

[surreal siren]

I mean it really depends on the age groups you are looking at and how you are interpreting the data. But regardless, the tool is not the problem. It's how you are using it that is. Nearly everything that isn't irrelevant can both be additive and subtractive, depending how it's applied.

[stray tiger]

Saying "we have school supplies for poor kids that need it" is completely out of that scope and closer to what we've done for decades

[late ingot]

Their parents will just take it off them a lot to use it, or want to sell it

[stray tiger]

Very finicky, it might be better in many cases if they use school resources, depending what their home life is like. That's a tough one

[late ingot]

Even work laptops issued to people from quite poor backgrounds doing entry level work often get misused for personal use or used by kids

[late ingot]

I think it'd need to have mobile internet access but heavily filtered/metered

I don't think you could protect against parents/siblings demanding to use the laptop themselves

[surreal siren]

EdTech is a general term. As far as I'm aware the definition of it totally does not include forcing iPads onto young kids

[late ingot]

As well as low socioeconomic groups just not understanding the point of a laptop when smartphones exist

[surreal siren]

And those "poor high school kids" are still part of education system, so... 🤷‍♂️ This really does read to me like trying to nuke the entire thing because some parts of it doesn't work or it isn't 100% perfect when applied carelessly

[late ingot]

What are you responding to with this point?

Some people argue its valuable to make targeted edtech spending to support kids from families who don't have a laptop or viable computer access at home

But there's more to it than physically having a device

Sending a child home with a new book every week doesn't instantly mean they will develop a passion for reading, for example

[surreal siren]

the same message I quoted the first time

[late ingot]

EdTech primarily involves integrating things into classroom learning or making things a universal expectation for students

Giving laptops to poor kids is plugging a gap on the assumption that middle class kids have laptops already

[stray tiger]

It's a general term, but not that general. When people say "EdTech failed" they aren't saying "allowing children to type papers using a computer is harmful", but rather all those other initiatives. You can call a normal book EdTech if you expand the definition enough (and speaking of, digital books tend to result in poorer outcomes)

[late ingot]

It's a levelling intervention, not one that transforms education for everyone

[stray tiger]

Which part or parts of it shouldn't be nuked?

[surreal siren]

Well obviously. But having a book is better than not having it. And it would absolutely increase the odds of learning more effectively if done right. Same here. Tech doesn't mean that every single student of any age must use an iPad at all times

[stray tiger]

Like 95% of the spending is an abject failure or actively harmful

[late ingot]

Digital whiteboards are fine imo

So long as they're not dominating every lesson

[stray tiger]

But as implemented, it does in at least three US States (and those are just the ones I personally know)

[late ingot]

There were digital whiteboard holdouts when I was at school though, in spite of there being funding to put one in every classroom

[surreal siren]

This is just the classic story of burning your entire house down instead of repainting it

Tech was not the issue

[late ingot]

As well as forgetful teachers who'd write on the digital whiteboard in an actual board pen

[stray tiger]

Tech absolutely was the issue, making a contract with Apple and proudly pushing an iPad into every kindergartner's hands when best outcomes come when they don't have one at all (including at home) is a gigantic issue

This was all done enthusiastically and at great cost, not accidentally

[grave burrow]

https://www.reddit.com/r/japannews/s/ibHT1OOViK

[surreal siren]

Once again, tech does not equal your oddly specific scenario of mismanagement. In this case the mismanagement is the issue not the tech itself

[stray tiger]

Oddly specific = the entire public school system of the largest state in the country

That isn't odd

[surreal siren]

why the fuck would you give an iPad to kindergartner's?

[stray tiger]

Yes, it is the tech itself, no matter how they get an iPad, it harms outcomes

[surreal siren]

that not the tech that it's faulty that you did that

lol

[stray tiger]

Because the State of California, along with many others, concluded it was a great idea

[late ingot]

No, but we also know that tablets in schools worsen outcomes to some degree regardless of scope

[gritty perch]

TIL there are trees that smell like an average redditors room

[surreal siren]

Then the decision itself was fucked up. It didn't make the tech fucked up. Just their retarded decision

[late ingot]

And the ability to use a tablet is not a skill a school needs to teach or reinforce

[stray tiger]

What is good about the tech!?

[surreal siren]

what

are you fr?

[late ingot]

The tech is faulty in the context of being an educational aid in that it fails to meet its use case of aiding teaching and learning

[stray tiger]

The data doesn't show "screen time is bad for kids if it's issued by a public school system", the data shows "screen time is bad for kids"

[late ingot]

It doesn't need to have a hardware fault or a software fault to be unable to satisfy its use case

[surreal siren]

It (an iPad) was never meant as a tool for a toddler

[late ingot]

Exactly

[stray tiger]

Particularly tablet usage. It's an oddly specific scenario to try to justify the devices in their hands

[late ingot]

That's why you shouldn't give them to toddlers

[surreal siren]

So the tech isn't faulty

the person giving it to a todler is faulty lmao

[stray tiger]

It's not good for teenagers in an educational context either

[surreal siren]

edtech != let's give an iPad to a toddler and hope for the best

[late ingot]

Something can be faulty because its the wrong tool for the job, rather than being unsuited for its actual intended purpose

[stray tiger]

But it very literally is, as implemented, across the country, to varying degrees

It's not better to wait until second grade

Not only that, they aren't hoping for the best, edtech = integrating it into the curriculum

Mandatory tech during the day, every day, not optional, not special use

[surreal siren]

it can't be faulty if it isn't what it was designed for. You can't hammer nails with an iPad either 🗿

[stray tiger]

For learning math, reading, etc. Things you don't need a device for and can't use it for. iPads have no role in the classroom

I will hammer a nail in with a tablet right now

[late ingot]

"Faulty" is quite a versatile word in English

If you procure something for a purpose then you can judge it against that procurement purpose even if that's not its intended use

[surreal siren]

Well I meant it in the context of as a thing to blame. "evil tech making kids dumb" etc

[stray tiger]

Apple DID design and sell it to be used this way

https://www.apple.com/education/k12/

APPLE IS ONLY SELLING THE IPAD TO K-12 AND DOESN'T EVEN MENTION THEIR OTHER TECH

[surreal siren]

By giving toddlers an iPad? You can also take lexative when you have a headache and then complain your head still hurts and you shat yourself I suppose. The lexative must be faulty.

[late ingot]

idk, K-9 education I guess

[stray tiger]

Until halfway down the page I guess

@sterile zealot you are gonna love this Apple is stuffing its Pad down toddler throats as always

[late ingot]

The way learning is supposed to be delivered and reinforced on those shitslabs really does reinforce how much the road to hell can be paved with good intentions

Attempts to make learning "fun" and "engaging" often just make learning too easy and gameify it so much that the actual learning outcomes don't stick

[stray tiger]

Hey they have a whole demo about your unique form of regardation

[late ingot]

If you submit your work and get it marked instantly by a computer, there isn't the social dynamic of a teacher grading it

Those ADHD characteristics listed often make me doubt I have ADHD and make me wonder if I have some other trigger for executive dysfunction

[stray tiger]

Yeah, I'm very ambivalent about that kind of quizzing. On one hand, it's kind of nice - extremely low effort and easy to throw a ton at students to let them engage kind of actively. Using iClickers to do live quizzes too in college or earlier is one of those things that can work but usually is implemented poorly

[late ingot]

I don't think multiple choice quizzes are good for learning on the whole

And should be the exception to the overall rule

[stray tiger]

When I helped teach first + second year calculus, the most important part of it past being in the classroom and helping live was grading homework, since the homework we did generally required a written explanation

I also really tried to push my kids to submit homework corrections, but very few of them took the easy points

I don't think many of them even read my detailed comments on where they could fix their work since it would have been trivial to resubmit with all the shit I wrote

[late ingot]

Homework corrections aren't a thing in British schools as far as I know

[stray tiger]

kind of unfortunate, it's such a good learning opportunity

It's not typical in the US either, especially not college, but IMO it definitely should be

[late ingot]

And grading isn't as granular as accruing "points"

[surreal siren]

It was never designed as a toy for a toddler. But them being a giant tech company, no shit they are gonna try to make the apps for anyone that could ever get their hands on it - for better or for worse

[stray tiger]

they're selling it as an "opportunity" for a toddler, that's for sure

I mean, this is like saying "as a big drug company, they're going to try to make oxycodone as addictive and accessible as possible"

For what it's worth they also do have restrictions in place that a kid can't really circumvent: https://support.apple.com/en-us/119854

The youngest age I can see anywhere mentioned is like 7yo. But those accounts are heavily restricted. Which ofc wouldn't fully prevent a dumb parent or system from doing damage, but still.
