Jamminlhopeyoulikeittoo says: errors will always be low probability and disfavored, particularly the stranger they are ConcatenatedNonsense replies: Unless a model is trained specifically to incorporate them, much like those that already exist to transform writing into specific styles. There's a capitalist imperative for them to do so. Jamminlhopeyoulikeittoo replies: trained on whose writing? 1000 different models for 1000 different quirky errors isn't a moneymaker, and 1 model will not usefully incorporate 1000 different styles ConcatenatedNonsense replies: As with everything it will be an aggregate of millions of public posts and writers, with training guided from the inputs of those "make this more professional" prompts. The aim is never to make a perfect product, but to make something convincing enough to be saleable. Jamminlhopeyoulikeittoo replies: and it will not work for a long time. this is like worrying about robots winning a dance contest
Screenshot of a web page: A Failed Stint At Amnesty International After graduating in French & Classics from Exter University in 1986, Rowling worked for a while at Amnesty International, doing translation work. However, she found the job tedious and spent a lot of her time, writing stories on the computer “when no one was looking!”

The Poisonous Euros Atmosphere Fan @DawnHFoster Remembering my time in NUS ans how Wes Streeting treated Bell Ribeiro-Addy for being anti-fascist. Black Students' Officer censured On the morning of the last day, with only two hundred people in the hall, conference voted to censure Bell Ribeiro-Addy, who as Black Students' Officer protested when Durham Union Society (a posh debating club) invited BNP MEP Andrew Brons and one of the BNP's local councillors to speak. (It almost censured LGBT Open Place Officer Daf Adley, but a few more delegates had made it into the hall by then.) The furore had resulted in Durham SU disaffiliating from NUS; the leadership want Durham's tens of thousands in affiliation fees, so they backed the censures, despite their formal support for "no platform for fascists". Thus they provided the BNP with a propaganda coup in the run-up to the general election and a green light to intervene on campuses. 8:51 PM . Apr 8, 2020

Captured by the Artemis II crew during their lunar flyby on April 6, 2026, this image shows the Moon fully eclipsing the Sun. From the crew’s perspective, the Moon appears large enough to completely block the Sun, creating nearly 54 minutes of totality and extending the view far beyond what is possible from Earth. The corona forms a glowing halo around the dark lunar disk, revealing details of the Sun’s outer atmosphere typically hidden by its brightness. Also visible are stars, typically too faint to see when imaging the Moon, but with the Moon in darkness stars are readily imaged. This unique vantage point provides both a striking visual and a valuable opportunity for astronauts to document and describe the corona during humanity’s return to deep space. The faint glow of the nearside of the Moon is visible in this image, having been illuminated by light reflected off the Earth.
