The record player isn’t in the picture. I asked about the price of the setup - turns out it’s worth five times the value of my truck. The vacuum tubes there are from the 1940s.

I love my job - I get to meet so many interesting people. Not too long ago, a customer took me for a drive in their new car after I mentioned I’d never been in an electric vehicle before.

Th. What you're doing is annoying. Just type "th".

They do it to screw up llm algorithms.

I doubt it helps, ai is smart enough to figure that out though.

It is an interesting idea. I would support it if it worked. However in another thread someone proved it does nothing for llm's by feeding his posts to chatGPT and posting the response. Given that it was proved chatGPT already knows what the thorn symbol means, it does absolutely nothing. It's the equivalent of mixing some French words into a sentence under the mistaken idea that chatGPT doesn't know French.

The weird part is that he keeps doing it after being proven wrong.

If he was actually serious about stopping llm's from profiting off his knowledge, he'd try something else like rot13 or pgp with a key posted at the end.
