We Gaslight AIDC

one day everyone will understand that this is the way and that it was inevitable

I dunno if it's true everywhere but in fighting games trying to stir shit by pretending that black people and trans people intrinsically have group conflict (and of course ignoring that many people are both) is one of the classic grifter psy-ops

I say that as someone with a long-standing research interest in multi-agent and ensemble learning systems (though I guess the meaning of the term "agent" has shifted) I do think it's cool that people are interested in things like interactive design and protocols. I see the vision, the results tho...

For all the noise about it I certainly expected to see stuff being built, but a lot of what I see worked on at speed is more agent orchestration? I have to conclude that either people are exaggerating their productivity gains (which matches my experience with these workflows) or aren't very creative

always have been

You should absolutely never become dependent on an internet-connected device or service controlled by a corporation in any capacity for any purpose if you can possibly avoid it. I got my first smartphone in 2009 and this was a worse and harder to detangle decision than getting hooked on nicotine

I've said it before and I'll say it again: having "normal" as a requirement or even an aspiration is definitionally authoritarian

It's crazy to me that we have to learn the same things every like six months because apparently cultural memory doesn't exist. Social media means cliques and piling on and echo chambers, "conservatives" are always nazis, the rich and powerful molest children, stoves will burn you if you touch them

already looking forward to being part of greater mexico

I swear you can't even massacre your own citizens and throw their bodies in a mass grave anymore because of woke

sure, and ultimately that's the crux, no? if there is any general and coherent principle of the otherwise ideologically amorphous Enemy, it is exactly that there are inherent, immutable social hierarchies and the load-bearing concepts used to justify them are never to be examined, let alone closely

there's no such thing as a single-player game, but bitches aren't ready for that conversation

just delete the line from known_hosts and you'll prolly get in fine 90% of the time. course this kinda situation is why it sometimes pays to have multiple keys

The heritage foundation is just the white-collar KKK

the "left" broadly advocated for open access community owned gigabit fiber networks while the right coddled monopoly access to the detriment of progress and affordability for four decades

Hell, many of these much-decried "negativists" are in fact buying into that exact narrative, and saying that conceding every factual claim these people are making leads them to the conclusion that this endeavor is evil and that those people should be stopped, which is also not unreasonable

It pisses me off that anyone not buying into the exact narrative of silicon valley hype men who consistently lie and have direct financial incentive to is being treated as ignorant or in denial. We can build language-driven applications now! That ain't a person and it sure as fuck ain't a good EA

I've been researching and building machine learning systems, including ones based on LLMs, from well before it was cool to the present day in various capacities. I understand better than most what we're looking at, including real, broad applications in which modern language models are revolutionary

As someone who has life-wreckingly severe ADHD, I often feel like a professional personal assistant of even middling organizational competence would not only fix my life, but perhaps let me take over the world. I've also wasted a huge chunk of my last year trying to get AI to even remotely qualify

I think we should outlaw doing business and teaching religion

Sure, only a few outliers among businesspeople get powerful enough to buy politicians and destroy democracy, and a small minority of youth pastors diddle kids, but the pattern is alarming and we need to shut it all down just in case

People wanna act like every problem in this space is new and unique, but to understand the new landscape one really has to understand the problems that proceeded the widespread adoption of language models. Like how this volume of output has a massive security impact, as does any "velocity" obsession

Of course, it's also true that news media basically uses "the left" to mean anyone who says things they don't like, and there are definitely people who understand things like "lots of people are pumping out inordinate volumes of code with these" and talk about actual problems, just not virally

I think people are easily baited by things that sound stupid. The framing "AI isn't intelligent" is a direct reactionary response to "AI is intelligent" and both are debating something both impossibly nebulous and completely irrelevant to any actual issue. Very common L for the internet

I mean sure it'll own the libs a *little* but I think if he's serious he should consider a full vaginoplasty

It would be hard to reconcile the glowing reports of The Crazy Productivity Gains From AI from a bunch of apparently-respected devs with the actual work products I've seen come out of the YOLO/GasTown school of thought if I had never seen someone go through a manic episode

I bet that "economic prosperity or trans rights" guy feels really silly right about now

(This is a joke. Of course I understand that such people are incapable of introspection)

Fair point. Come to think of it I had also failed to consider that he's just a lil guy and it's his birthday

I know hypocrisy literally doesn't matter to power and pointing it out is pointless but I still gotta balk because this is the president who oversaw the first DHS and invented the "supected terrorist" loophole to due process still used today

And it's fucken ironic because I can still basically immediately identify the baseline prosaic style of AI writing and it's more "TED talk" than "James Joyce"

I have been thinking I've got to throw more parties. People ought to meet my rabbits before they all die
