For the love fuck, this is meaningless. LLM models can't shut themselves off. They're never "on" in the first place. They don't have physicality or permanence.
It's an algorithm that transforms one state of data into another, and for each invocation needs to be fed the whole conversation again.
Perpetuating the unhinged bullshit that LLMs are somehow sentient is harmful.
Dear journalists, for the love of Carl Sagan's sweater vest get some actual experts to vet claims from the industry or indusry-adjacent sources and clarify your reporting.

San Franciscans! Here's a petition you can sign asking Mayor Lurie and the board of supervisors to fund social housing. You might have seen the flyers around the city.
We voted to fund it with 2020's Prop I, but for obscure reasons of state law, the use of the revenue wasn't legally binding, only intended. And then-Mayor Breed refused to do it. But we can fund it now!

Fund San Francisco's Social Housing Program with Prop I Property Transfer Tax Revenue, as Promised!
In 2020, San Francisco voters passed Prop I which levied a transfer tax on properties worth over $10 million dollars. The Board of Supervisors unanimously passed a resolution assuring voters it was their intention to spend the revenue from the new tax on a Social Housing Program. Social Housing is housing that is municipally-owned (or non-profit owned), permanently affordable, and available to a wider mix income than traditional public housing. Mayor Breed overruled the Board of Supervisors a…

I usually post in the evening today's post inthe morning for the 'Fotovorschlag' somehow broke my routine.
Anyways, I wanted to share this photo from my hike on sunday. It was my first winter-hike this season! Saturday was a great cloud inversion - which I missed - sunday greeted me (and QUITE some more hikers) with a plain blue sky.
I hope I can get out again on the weekend to test warmer socks.
Well - enjoy!

A stunning winter landscape unfolds under a clear, vibrant blue sky, capturing the pristine beauty of a snow-covered mountain slope. The untouched snow blankets the terrain, its smooth, white surface glistening in the bright sunlight. Footprints lead up the slope, creating a sense of adventure and exploration as they wind their way toward the summit. At the top of the slope, a small, rustic cabin nestles comfortably among the snow-laden trees, its presence adding a touch of warmth and coziness…

Towards the bottom of the disk, a map is superimposed that is labelled "Sol Australis Incognita".
