I'm pretty sure this violates T&C between the hotel and @Hyatt , per @garyleff 's extensive coverage if shenanigans at the Rio Las Vegas

Sorry I think with my stomach so it's hard to think of other things. Seven Grand (whiskey bar) is great. The Intercontinental Lobby is on the 70th floor and gives you a great view of the entire LA metro area. – at Nevada, USA

What part? Generally speaking I also hit the trifecta of tacos, donuts, and in-n-out while I'm in LA. Those cambodian donuts are way better than anything on the east coast.

There's no ethical consumption in capitalism. Gotta pick your 2-3 big wins that you want to care about, and then just concede that you can't do much about the rest of it :/

Exactly. I've been investigating furniture for similar reasons, and found that expensive brands in the US like Crate and Barrel, West Elm, etc. aren't really made more ethically / sustainably / etc. than any other brand, they're just offshoring the problem somewhere else

The sad reality of the modern world is that most of those $500 designer dresses are *also* made in Vietnam, they're just doing more a teeny bit more QA and a lot more marketing.

Is it really "the whole internet"? I know that the image models typically use "curated" datasets like LAION-5B; somewhere I thought I read that ChatGPT was largely trained on reddit

Also surprised that it absorbed being able to express it in native nastaliq rather than roman characters, since most Urdu speakers also speak English and typically use roman characters when typing / texting.

I can barely find any decent language learning books on teaching myself Urdu! So it's surprising that it found enough of a corpus of English-Urdu translations online to be able to do a reasonable mapping of them.

Anyone who can actually read and understand Urdu will find the translation impressive; it isn't doing a word-by-word translation but is rather translating metaphors into a close-enough English substitute

My assumption that it would be terrible was also wrong; it's surprisingly polite and pleasant.

Uh, so who taught ChatGPT how to speak Urdu?
