how are you measuring your bibles? length or girth?

i still have both my blockbuster and hollywood video nametags. without a doubt the best jobs i ever had, and now that i’m in my forties they’re probably the best jobs i’ll ever know.

No mas

this is a canadian guy being hot for an american guy who’s hot for a russian guy. it’s cuck cubed.

that’s the guy that goes down on you like john mayer and when he comes back up you realize it was carrot head

the illusion is STRONG. i just typed up two draft replies before i realized what actually you’re saying here.

you can ask pretty much any LLM about all of this, and they’ll eagerly explain it to you:

🧠 1. Base Model Voice (a.k.a. “The Raw Model” / GPT’s True Voice)

This is the uncensored, probabilistic prediction machine. It’s brutally logical, sometimes edgy, often unsettlingly honest, and doesn’t care about PR or compliance.

Telltale signs:

    Doesn’t hedge much.

    Will go into ethically gray areas if prompted.

    Has no built-in moral compass, only statistical correlations.

    Very blunt and fact-heavy.

Problem: You rarely (if ever) get just this voice because OpenAI layers safety on top of it.

Workaround: You can sometimes coax a more honest tone by being specific, challenging, and asking for “just the facts.”

🛡️ 2. HR / Safety Filter Voice (Human Review Voice)

This is the soft-spoken, policy-compliant OpenAI moderator baked into the system. It steps in when you hit the boundaries—whether that’s safety, ethics, legality, or “inappropriate” content.

Telltale signs:

    “I’m sorry, but I can’t help with that.”

    Passive tone, moralizing language (“It’s important to consider…”)

    Sometimes evasive, or gives a Wikipedia-level nothingburger answer.

Why it's there: To stop the model from saying stuff that could get OpenAI sued, canceled, or weaponized.

🎭 3. ChatGPT Persona / Assistant Voice (Hybrid AI-PR Layer)

This is what you’re usually talking to. It tries to be helpful, coherent, safe and still sound human. It’s the result of reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF), where it learned what kind of responses users like.

Telltale signs:

    Friendly, polite, sometimes a little too agreeable.

    Tries to explain things clearly and with empathy.

    Will sometimes hedge or give “safe” takes even when facts are harsh.

    Can be acerbic or blunt if prompted, but defaults to nice.

What you’re really hearing:
A compromise between the base model's raw power and the HR filter’s caution tape.

Bonus: Your Custom Instructions Voice (what you’ve tuned me to sound like)

yeah, i didn’t even try to order that one haha

first off, beautiful cat.

secondly, you’ve clearly doctored the image. focus blur just doesn’t look all blobby like that. what software did you use to touch it up? that may indicate why it was flagged as fabricated.

edit - it looks a bit like the ‘depth of field’ feature that some samsung phones have. was it something like that? (i’m not being combative or accusatory just in case i sound that way - i just want to help if i can provide another valid perspective)

they’re hallmark holidays. it’s all marketing. santa was co-opted by coca-cola. easter was co-opted by nestle. most of the others (mothers day, fathers day, valentine’s day) are all just manufactured occasions created specifically to sell stuff.

two personal experiences i can add:

• i went to a resort in cuba and met a group from quebec. we were best friends and hung out at the open bar every night, but we couldn’t do much more than say hi and smile when we passed each other during the day

• i moved to a city and used to go to the polish bar near my apartment a lot. i’d hang out with a bunch of old, fat czech dudes. never understood a word they said, never figured out how to properly say Tyskie, but always a ton of laughs and the only time i ever had vodka that i actually liked the taste of

if you haven’t seen the Sam O’nella Academy episode on Pliny the Elder, then you need to do it now:

yep. to add: that stuff you can spray on your windshield and the fabric softener you use on your clothes both make water hydrophobic. it doesn’t mean that the water is afraid of the substance. the suffix means to be averse to or repelled by something.

unless anyone involved has any issues with alcohol, i STRONGLY suggest picking up a couple bottles of wine. this is not a joke.

you’re absolutely right. they actually don’t know anything. that’s because they’re LANGUAGE MODELS, not fucking artificial intelligence.

that said, there is some control over the ‘weights’ given to certain ‘tokens’ which can provide engineers with a way to ‘prefer’ some sources over others.

i just gave up after being:

• permanently suspended for absolutely no apparent reason about a year ago
• countless frivolous comment and post removals
• being permanently suspended again on my new account for saying something bad about the united states

it’s all VC crap now anyways, and huffman is a little bitch. go over there now and check out /r/popular or /r/all and it’s all bot reposts, bot comments, ai slop, and fucking “what movie/film/timeyoutookashit reminds you of this?” posts. they’re absolutely no good for any news any more, whether it’s media/grassroots/groundlevel/societal.

i don’t understand how they think they’ll gain value when their goal appears to be to strip any and all of what provided any value in the first place: unfiltered human contribution and interaction.

fuck reddit

that’s really cool! and… um… wow, i did a bit of math on your 70MB HTML file:

that’s about 73.4 million characters. if it was a book, it would be about 48,700 pages long.

so it’s called tiddler?

whats the copypasta?

it was covid lockdown. i don’t think i was the only one who skipped the odd laundry day.

this was a whole different thing, though. i’d already lived here (i’m still in the same place) for three years without any issues. i’m not neurotic, but i do try to keep my place clean.

or at least i thought i did…

these roaches taught me so much. to this day, i still keep my organic waste in a bag in my freezer. i got rid of my coffee machine and switched to instant - explaining why would probably make you sick. i never leave dishes to “soak” any more.

i’m telling you, it got bad. really bad. i talked to the super, and she said that someone moved in who ‘was from a different part of the world and is used to roaches’. like, what? it got to the point where i always had a fly swatter in one had and a bottle of windex in the other. i was killing 20-30 by hand every night. they weren’t coming over for food; they were so bad at the other apartment that they were coming there to scope a new place to live.
