I’m really bad at bios.
Uhh hi I’m Shelby! I’m a trans woman from New York. My interests are fashion, photography, tech and music. So you can expect most of my posts to be about those topics. I pretty much only comment if I have something positive or constructive to say. I’m kind of a golden retriever girlie, so don’t be afraid to reach out. I’m always friendly to respectful people.
This is a kinda alt account for FRYD@sh.itjust.works I’m probably gonna migrate over to this being my main account at some point.

When I was 13, a 13 year old friend and I went to a convention where my friend got an under 12 child’s ticket and I got a 15+ chaperone ticket. Now both of us get carded at bars and we’re pushing 30. People aren’t good at guessing ages.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you died tonight and people had to sort out your stuff, what would be the weirdest, most unexplainable trinket in your possession?

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL Metro New Yorkers tend to say they stand on line, whereas most other New York State and American English speakers tend to stand in line.English
11·5 days agoI live kind of in the metro NY area and I go to the city a lot. I’ve only ever heard “I got on the line” or “Are you on the line?” otherwise it would be “get in line” or “I’m in line for …”
Overall though, that article feels really dated. The famous NYC accent has been fading in recent years. I haven’t heard many of the features listed in that article and more still I’ve only heard from old people.
I’ve had my iPhone 11 for 7 years. I have no strong desire for a new one either. I just need to replace the battery on this one and it should be good a for a few more years.

85·7 days agoLLMs are not intelligent. They lack morals, knowledge, and intent. The only remote risk of extermination is if a company with absolute impunity and endless resources told an LLM to hack the nuclear weapons and if knowledge of how to do that was already published online and processed as training data.
LLMs cannot do anything new, they can only regurgitate information thats already been stolen.

533·7 days agoEd Zitron’s podcast “Better Offline” recently talked about this. There is a small tech community called the Rationalists who believe AI super intelligence is inevitable and it will either accelerate humanity to new heights or kill off the species. These rationalists are actually a very prominent faction within tech and the AI industry. Apparently the language used within top AI firms is largely about the immense danger posed by AI super intelligence if any other group or company were to achieve it first. This creates an echo chamber that makes the people in the industry kind of lose their mind and misinterpret the capability of LLMs.
Everyone outside that faction recognizes that LLMs are just unreliable cloud software with limited use cases and that there’s no evidence LLMs could actually lead to any kind of intelligence.
Edit: Please, someone stop me from commenting on an AI post next time I’m tempted. I’m so tired of people replying, arguing with opinions I don’t have, based entirely around a hypothetical technology that doesn’t exist yet. LLMs make slop. Thats it. They hacked a company after weeks of 100s of instances being run, using old exploits published online. San Francisco will be underwater from climate change before LLMs can do anything more.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's one item in your home that's at least 20 years old that you still use?
2·12 days agoIf I had to pick one, it’s my Gameboy. I use that the most.
There’s also: probably half of my books, most of my cameras, my old consoles, my sewing machine, and there’s probably more stuff. I’m kind of obsessed with old things.



I’m 29 right now and people say I look 18
