Literally just mainlining marketing material straight into whatever’s left of their rotting brains.

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

The half serious jokes about sentient AI, made by dumb animals on reddit are no closer to the mark than an attempt to piss on the sun. AI can't be advancing at a pace greater than we think, unless we think it's not advancing at all. There is no god damn AI. It's a language model that uses a stochastic calculation to print out the next word each time. It barely holds on to a few variables at a time, it's got no grasp on anything, no comprehension, let alone a promise of sentience.
There are plenty of stuff and people that get to me, but few are as good at it as idiot tech bros, their delusions and their extremely warped perspective.
Exactly. It's just statistics, it's not really useful beyond what it has been trained on, but people seem to think that it's something it's not. I guess that is the fault of the advertising push by these corporations to market these statistical algorithms as "AI"
Some believe (in this thread included) that by denigrating living human beings and calling them "meat computers" that the LLMs seem that much closer to being sapient, and they thusly provide a false dichotomy choice between agreeing with that take or else you're a faith healing crystal touching New Age mystic.
