girl help i’m starting over again for the 1000th time & i’m beginning to think that life is a never-ending cycle of starting over & i actually have to make peace with that in order to move forward

I have a random question for Italianblr and of course the best way to quench my thirst for knowledge of important aspects of life is through a Tumblr poll

Fellow Italians, do you have a moka at home?

Yes

No

Not Italian / Italian but bald

Voting ended onApr 5

Doesn’t matter if it’s Bialetti or Alessi or any other brand, if it’s a Neapolitan one that you have to turn around, if it’s one with an electric plate - as long as it’s a moka and works like a moka. It also doesn’t matter if you use it or not - as long as you have one somewhere at home

Please reblog even if you’re not Italian, I need to know if I’m right when I say that a moka is a non-negotiable in an Italian household

If you’re not Italian but have a moka: you are now an official friend of Italy whether you want it or not

happy trans day of visibility to all the trans folks out there. to the dolls. to the trans people of colour. to the fat trans people. to the hairy trans people. to the trans mascs who present feminine and the fems who present masculine. to the trans people opressed by the binary present even within queer culture. to the trans people who feel dysphoria, and those who don’t. to the ones who aren’t out for their own safety. to the ones who aren’t out to themselves. to the trans people in warzones and facing genocide. to the trans people whose basic rights and humanity is constantly up for debate. to the ones that are still alive despite it all. happy trans day of visibility to you

Has anyone figured out what’s so viscerally wrong with this woman yet

[stuckinapril]

She’s so one dimensionally evil you guys 😭😭 how is she real

[mintedwitcher]

read this and remember it. read this and remember that she is going to use the profits of her fucking ego-stroking reboot to decimate trans rights. read this and remember that every time you pay into her IP, you are emboldening her to hurt us more.

our lives matter more than your fucking nostalgia.

trans lives matter more than your fucking nostalgia.

🚨BREAKING: OpenAI published a paper proving that ChatGPT will always make things up.

Not sometimes. Not until the next update. Always. They proved it with math.

Even with perfect training data and unlimited computing power, AI models will still confidently tell you things that are completely false. This isn't a bug they're working on. It's baked into how these systems work at a fundamental level.

And their own numbers are brutal. OpenAI's o1 reasoning model hallucinates 16% of the time. Their newer o3 model? 33%. Their newest o4-mini? 48%. Nearly half of what their most recent model tells you could be fabricated. The "smarter" models are actually getting worse at telling the truth.

Here's why it can't be fixed. Language models work by predicting the next word based on probability. When they hit something uncertain, they don't pause. They don't flag it. They guess. And they guess with complete confidence, because that's exactly what they were trained to do.

The researchers looked at the 10 biggest AI benchmarks used to measure how good these models are. 9 out of 10 give the same score for saying "I don't know" as for giving a completely wrong answer: zero points. The entire testing system literally punishes honesty and rewards guessing.

So the AI learned the optimal strategy: always guess. Never admit uncertainty. Sound confident even when you're making it up.

OpenAI's proposed fix? Have ChatGPT say "I don't know" when it's unsure. Their own math shows this would mean roughly 30% of your questions get no answer. Imagine asking ChatGPT something three times out of ten and getting "I'm not confident enough to respond." Users would leave overnight. So the fix exists, but it would kill the product.

This isn't just OpenAI's problem. DeepMind and Tsinghua University independently reached the same conclusion. Three of the world's top AI labs, working separately, all agree: this is permanent.

Every time ChatGPT gives you an answer, ask yourself: is this real, or is it just a confident guess?

He kept me company during therapy

[lucylehane]

your son is a superstar athlete, one of the most successful of his generation, and he looks like hudson williams. he never seems to date, and doesn't seem that bothered by it. after a long long period of him spending all his free time alone, he starts dating rose landry! ...and then it fizzles out a few weeks later, but he's not too bummed about it, they're still friends.

that's what's so funny to me about the finale. yuna and david were *prepared*. they were ready for their son to bring home a cute twink baker or a scruffy but handsome grad student or a massage therapist for the metros. and then he walks in with ilya rozanov 💀💀💀
