We will never solve the Scunthorpe Problem.

Truly in a clbottom of its own

Hasn't it been proven unsolvable?

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 54 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Impossible. There is always some mf named like cum-sock, smh

Proven? I don't think so. I don't think there's a way to devise a formal proof around it. But there's a lot of evidence that, even if it's technically solvable, we're nowhere close.

Have you tried adding a few more kilobytes of regex?

I swear, I just need 4-5 more graphics cards to solve this!

Scunthorpe Problem

If only one could buttassinate censorship...

I have no rebottomal for this comment.

there's a very trivial solution that always works actually, it's called "stop being a prude"

I mean, you could just use a vaguely smarter filter. A tiny "L"LM might have different problems, but not this one.

Indeed; it definitely would show some promise. At that point, you'd run into the problem of needing to continually update its weighting and models to account for evolving language, but that's probably not a completely unsolvable problem.

So maybe "never" is an exaggeration. As currently expressed, though, I think I can probably stand by my assertion.

It causes so much dawizard.
