So are LLMs reliable for research like that?
No. Of course not. They’re not reliable for anything. They don’t have any kind of database of facts and don’t know or attempt to know anything at all.
They’re just a more advanced version of your phone’s predictive text. All they do is try to figure out which words most likely go in what order as a response to the prompt. That’s it. There is no logic of any kind dictating what an LLM outputs.
It comes from racist car customization slang, yes.
Of course! Thanks for being cool. It always sucks to learn a term you’ve been using has a shitty meaning you didn’t intend, and some people react to that realization quite poorly as we can see below lol
Please enjoy your ban whenever a mod sees this. 
What exactly is it that people obsess over? The ricing?
Please refrain from using racist terms.
If you write something, you own the copyright, period. There’s no registration process or anything like that. If you made it, it’s yours, legally. And the only process involved to exercise your legal rights would just be proving that you’re actually the one who made it.
Of course, none of that makes it certain that no one will claim it as their own or use it for something you don’t want. As a general rule, just assume that anything you don’t want used in a way you don’t like simply shouldn’t be put out into the public at all, regardless of what kind of license you package with it. If you’re an average person and not a billionaire good luck exercising any kind of legal rights for intangible stuff like written words.
It is generally a good idea to include with anything you put out there some kind of license, which could be as simple as a .txt file that says “Made by [name], free to use for xyz purposes with abc caveats”
For a book stuff like that can go into the first or last couple pages that usually include all sorts of random boring information and publisher credits and whatnot
Just keep in mind that hard drives do not last forever. They’ll last a few years of regular use, maybe up to a decade if you’re lucky. Storing media on a hard drive is not like having a box of books in your basement, your kids aren’t going to be able to use them in 40 years.
It was only a matter of time before Google put their foot down and insisted that you can’t have a good experience on YouTube. Its time is coming.
whereas I’ve configured Firefox on their Linux laptop not to keep any cookies after the browser is closed.
Why? Does this person care about privacy? The average person would much, much rather just have the cookies for exactly this reason.
ublock origin on firefox hasn’t blocked in-player twitch ads for me in years. i just never use twitch because of it though 
Yeah, this shit’s just weird all around. Don’t ask for money, but swap the site to invite-only because people aren’t giving you money? Calling it invite-only, but offering no path or conditions for getting an invite? Calling it invite-only but saying that it will at some point be open again? Giving no explanation as to when or why it might open again? If it costs too much money to be open why would it open up?
Just weird. Use your words, people. 
You should edit out the racism from your title.
Uh, no. Can’t you read? These are not people. They are Russian cybercriminals
