DawgTalkers.net Forums Active Threads This Week

With the town hall that happened in Georgia and more grassroots things starting to burgeon, I thought I’d start a new thread.

This was a hell of a video from Kinzinger:

Why? What makes him good for the post?

They’re not turning the light on. They’re smashing all the light bulbs so the roaches can have free rein without worry.

I mentioned this in my last post....if you could sing this at Karaoke, you would own the place.

Cavs crush the Knicks, 142-105. This one was over at the half, and only got worse from there.

Looks like top conservatives want to save Ukraine from Trump too.

Before the combine, visits, and free agency there will be much more disinformation to be found than information. You hit the nail on the head.

The Browns navigate yet another offseason crisis. There’s something every single year.

Schefter reports on The Pat McAfee Show that the Browns are “dug in” and will not entertain any trade offers for Garrett:

“We have a team here in the Cleveland Browns, I know that we get swept up in the moment, we got this Defensive Player of the Year requesting a trade out of Cleveland. This is not a surprise to the Browns. The Browns knew about his unhappiness and I think they have asked around and prepared for it. They’ve got some opinions on how to best handle this situation… I think they are dug in and entrenched in their stance that they arenot going to trade Myles Garrett.”

even Kennedy's own family thinks he's nuts.... have you ever seen or heard of anyone in the Kennedy clan not get full support of the Clan? NO..., Not until now.

He was asked that by a reporter the other day and he said, “I don’t know what Israel will do”. Between that and kissing Putin’s feet, I can now see what MAGA saw in him. Strongman leadership… you can’t make it up.

But he can still rock the mic with lies, dumbass ideas and stories. I’d like to see him get to the bottom of the Arnold Palmer penis size mystery… And personally settle the debate on which is worse, electric boats or being eaten by a shark.

I wouldn't mind Joe as a 2nd FA QB. As much as we need a starter, going into the season again with a QB room that has DTR as the first viable backup would be a fire-able offense.

Straight up Zeig Hiel. Trash.

The plan is to dump Watson after June 1st 2026 stay tuned.

Yes, they can hallucinate. I’m not exactly sure what you do, but i assume you code in some way because you’ve been negative about AI before. If you are doing critical error sensitive work in math, obviously I can see your frustration. If you’re a generative AI expert, the rest of this is for everyone else. But maybe there is something that might help you.

The performance can be improved to near perfect with grounding in context with fine tuning on example outputs for most tasks. Grounding can come in a few ways. Want it to know about a topic that you are using it for? Build a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) database solution for it to read and process for queries against it.Those come in a few flavors and are a part of the AI evolution. Increase stability by supplementing your research queries with real-time web research. AI can process entire websites, videos, PDFs, numeric data, text docs, photos, drawings, graphs, etc. You can also create system prompts telling it how to fail properly if it is not within a specific range of accuracy before it answers and have it catch it’s own mistakes, then self correct in a looping fashion. On top of that, you can fine-tune a model with your data or context-specific information and examples of your expected output to reach near 100% accuracy on niche topics or tasks. Agentic systems also improve accuracy by defining in code specifically how you want the AI to handle a certain task. Agentic systems can be grounded with all of the above as well as being given specific tools (code it can execute to interact with endless services) that it can use to succeed nearly 100% at those assigned tasks. Being somebody in the know, I would expect you know about these things. But for general AI consumer use cases, I think AI is crazy good.

I get that you are negative about trusting AI, and anyone putting out a product should absolutely state that context matters and that if the AI relies only on its training data, it may hallucinate by trying to guess the answer to your query. But the exact same applies to people. You wouldn’t ask a plumber to help you write a physics paper, would you? Just like you wouldn’t set a new hire loose on your company’s internal code without bringing them up to date on your codebase. And even then, you would watch closely at first to make sure they were doing the things you ask for correctly. Same with AI. You have to put the AI in the right situations to succeed.

A lot also depends on model selection. Now, if you are basing your criticism on the model chat apps currently on most app stores, then you are just talking about basic models doing their best with little or zero grounding in context. They are still super useful if you know how to use them. I would recommend trying Google’s AI studio out. DeepSeeks R1 thinking model is damn useful. OpenAI’s free app now has reasoning models with very limited use, but great for limited tasks. Perplexity has a search AI that kicks Google’s butt nine times out of ten. And there is a plethora of free apps, models, and resources from the open source communities at GitHub and Hugging Face, as well as other free resources.

AI is currently very capable of is helping anyone with any topic. It’s great for education when you need to understand things your not great at fast. AI can talk, read, write, listen, take text input, video input, image input, and walk you step by step through any problem with self-correcting problem-solving skills. And now the newer reasoning models are skyrocketing niche success rates. All the companies are focused on that right now. DeepSeek, OpenAI, Google, KIMI, and others are dropping reasoning improvements every couple of weeks to months. Open source is also keeping pace with advancements. OpenAI has scored in the 98th percentile of every coder on Earth. That means out of all the hackers out there, they can perform beyond the level of 97% of them given the proper tool setup and context. Coders are using AI to augment themselves. It’s called human-in-the-loop AI programming.

They’ve also set a state-of-the-art achievement at 88+% on the absolute hardest general test in the world at solving things in minutes that top people in the fields might take weeks or months to resolve. This means the AI is already smarter and better than 88% of the best minds in the world, generally speaking. In niche domains, they score higher. So, not perfect but better than most humans, and that is the AGI benchmark. It was so good that the testing outfit has gone to work on even tougher tests, which is no light task. And considering the rate of improvement and evolution, they may not beat AI to the need for that test before we reach super-intelligence.

I have no clue how complicated the math you are doing actually is, but I’ve seen some pretty impressive math demos. And sorry but I feel the last thing you should be doing if you know what you’re talking about is discouraging people from using AI for what works now to improve their lives, businesses, and opportunities. AI can work with you to write a hell of a resume, look at a pic of ingredients on hand and tell you what you can make, write marketing copy or tech docs for your product. Build your website. Build an app. Teach you about a topic. Do extreme research, and return factual data in real time. The possibilities are endless if you just learn to use it like a tool. Not a perfect tool, an imperfect tool that delivers great results.

I’m neck deep in it now. I keep up with the changes and advancements. I try the tools and even work with a few daily. I do some fine-tuning, but I do not and have not trained a model from scratch because it’s wildly expensive for even decent small models. And I’ll soon be releasing some niche-specific tools of my own. If you or anyone else want to learn how to do something with AI as an imperfect tool, reach out, if I can help I will. But honestly, if you’re an AI data scientist or something similar, you’re most likely way more advanced than me in AI knowledge. I’m on the help everyday people/businesses end of the spectrum as a gen AI dev.

AI is proving to be a godsend to genetic, material science, medical diagnostics, and other science and tech research right now. The MIC is exploring all kinds of weaponry tech based on AI and robotics. That research will result in innovation for consumer goods and most likely help us stay on top militarily speaking. AI is and will continue to be the future, the next giant leap in technology, and eventually, it may save us from ourselves. But it could equally be used by bad actors to do harm or to even keep us down. This is why we don’t want to allow greedy bastards and idiots to control access to the tech.

AI has the potential to solve every problem we have as a species. POTENTIAL being the keyword. It’s far from perfect, but better than most humans at many tasks. And will only improve over time. I bet solutions for your issue will come sooner rather than later, especially if it’s in a common application. I could be dead wrong, but you have to admit the advancements in general are nuts.

Solid against the run, plus has a cool surname. The wife would giggle when the TV announcer said his name. Bring him home!

Just kidding, although it’s sad to say that we can’t afford him: a UFA is the wiser choice.

Welcome back!
The place feels classier already.

So.... rugby?

That’s some kinda sloppy seconds.

I think the “Sovereign Wealth Fund” is the fleecing of the government's tax revenue to be controlled by the oligarchical elite. Dude I posted the economics video from calls it techno-feudalism. Break the world up into fiefdoms that the financial elite own and rule. Everyone else reduced to peasantry.

That would explain why Trump wants Canada, Greenland, and the Panama canal. Taking and keeping the west would be easy then. And it’s the NAZI type solution to kill off those you find undesirable, non-essential, weak, or simple too brown/black. I hope this is wrong, way wrong, but there is some sort of nefarious end game or Trump and Elon wouldn’t be blatantly breaking all these laws.

Voodoo science on a witch hunt, what could go wrong? This is why the elite and congress allowed Trump to get these fools appointed. They are all patsies. They will take the hate, and if all hell breaks loose, they will take the falls while the elite retreat to hide behind their money.

When you start looking at it like this, every move they are making makes perfect sense. The agenda is for the elite ruling class to permanently screw us right as AI to replace us comes along. They only need an army of dupes to protect them until they get rid of everyone else.

FFS, Trump and Putin now control the majority of nukes on the planet. I’m sure Putin, Trump, and Elon have discussed this. It’s also why the don’t sound sane in interviews anymore. They have to reinforce the illusion at every turn this close to the end game.

He's going to build his Hotel's at the Riviera of the middle East right after he takes Gaza. Because he claims he can do that "on his authority".

It was more posted in jest as to what the other side calls infringing on free speech. This is no different than any social network that has terms of service. When you continue to break the terms of service over and over again they have a right to suspend you. You are 100% correct that it was not an infringement of free speech. Much like most of the nonsense BS they create from nothing to make such a claim.

2% is the agreed amount they are supposed to spend as per an agreement in 2014. Those who aren't contributing 2% should be held accountable but over the past few years many of them have stepped up to meet those requirements.

WW1 ended on November 11, 1918. Less than 21 years later on September 1, 1939, WW2 began. Germany was defeated in World War II on May 7, 1945 and Japan fell on Sept. 2, 1945. Almost 80 years later there has yet to be another world war.

Leave it to a band of idiots to badmouth what has worked so well for so long. Like I said, history has taught them nothing.

Cant make that level of ignorance up. What next? Maybe we'll have posters spew Russian propaganda about Ukraine?? Ohh... Too late. Reptards already did.

I love watching eagles glide around, seemingly passive but knowing they’re on the hunt.
