But even if we assume that this is the case, and even if there are a lot of people that simply don’t try [to learn new technology]…should companies really take advantage of them?

DISGUSTING POLITICAL IDEOLOGY

this is the best idea on the internet, actually

someone who thinks "the buck stops here => nothing is true; all is permitted" probably won't get much out of "here are all the places ive found shit where neurons should be" so idk

why does that spelling make my skin crawl

it's because he has shit for brains

This kind of bullshit would classify you as Harry Potter if you drew a lightning bolt on your face.

I run GrapheneOS on my Pixel and I am pretty happy with it. Also, check out OpenBubbles (fork of an app called BlueBubbles) if you have a Mac that you can extract the hardware ID from. I use it to get my iPhone friends to stop complaining (it's an American thing I think) and it's good enough the vast majority of the time.

Reactions still come through as

shitheel reacted 🖕 to 'hi everyone'

though

I've tried screaming "stop overfilling my hboxes" when compiling my TeX document, but it isn't working! Am I prompting it wrong?

It's built upon such a nonsensical ontology. The sentiment expressed in a piece of language is at least partially a social function, which is why I can add the following

I AM BEYOND FUCKING LIVID AT EVERYONE IN THIS FUCKING INSTANCE

to this response and no one will actually assume I'm really angry (I am though, send memes).

Edit: not one meme. Not. One.

Edit2: thank you for the memes, @skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de. This one is my favorite. It feels Dark Souls-y.

Saw something about "sentiment analysis" in text. While writers have discussed "death of the author" and philosophers and linguists have discussed what it even means to derive meaning from text, these fucking AI dorks are looking at text in a vacuum and concluding "this text expresses anger".

print("I'm angry!")

the above python script is angry, look at my baby skynet

Well, two responses I have seen to the claim that LLMs are not reasoning are:

1. we are all just stochastic parrots lmao
2. maybe intelligence is an emergent ability that will show up eventually (disregard the inability to falsify this and the categorical nonsense that is our definition of "emergent").

So I think this research is useful as a response to these, although I think "fuck off, promptfondler" is pretty good too.

So Geoffrey Hinton is a total dork.

Hopefully, [this Nobel Prize] will make me more credible when I say these things really do understand what they're saying. [There] is a whole school of linguistics that comes from Chomsky that thinks it's nonsense to say these things understand language. That school is wrong. Neural nets are much better at processing language than anything produced by the Chomsky school of linguistics.
