Oscar Isaac did an interview recently where he revealed that line was added in reshoots. So that line was written in an attempt to fix whatever catastrophic wreck the script was in before then.
I'm imagining some writer going "wait a minute, did we ever explain why Palpatine was back?" And then writing that and leaning back with a smug "whew. Nailed it."
Luke was never the Chosen One, I think you've misinterpreted. It was Anakin who defeated the Sith. Luke just scored an assist.
The term "AI" was first coined in 1956 at the Dartmouth workshop and covers a broad range of topics in computer science. Machine learning and language models most certainly do fall under that category.
Refusing to call LLMs "AI" looks to me like an instance of the AI effect in action, in which anything computers can do is no longer regarded as an example of "real" intelligence. It's a goalpost shift.
Used to be that the Turing Test was a big deal. Or being able to beat a human chess grandmaster. Or a Go grandmaster, once chess was reliably being won by computers. Just the other day ChatGPT was able to generate a novel proof for an unsolved Erdos problem that mathematicians are now using as a basis for new discoveries. What's the next goalpost?
In your personal opinion, and based on the articles you've seen describing the damage in dramatic terms that bait the clicks of people who are already predisposed to think negatively of AI.
And so the echo chamber resonates on.
It's a common phenomenon. Look at how stunned so many people were when Trump won, for example. How could he have won? Everyone they knew voted against him! Everyone they talked to agreed that he was terrible! Except of course they were only talking to like-minded people, so they had no idea what "everyone" actually thought. Same thing applies to Trump supporters when he lost in 2020, they couldn't believe it.
Places like the Fediverse are practically designed to become echo chambers. Look at the upvote/downvote mechanism, how's the balance look in here for comments critical of AI versus comments that aren't critical of it? I know karma is meaningless, even moreso here than on places like Reddit, but it's still a psychological and social pressure declaring "you're not one of us, your opinion is bad and you should feel bad." Naturally the people who would post such unpopular opinions will tend to stop posting over time.
Heck, I've got my own personal stalker following me around lately posting about how much of a "troll" I am because I don't toe the "AI bad" line. Disagreement with the local consensus is bad and wrong and I'm supposed to just shut up and go away I suppose. Doesn't bother me, but people are social beings so I'm not surprised it bothers others.
"unlike many of the other PDFs" suggests it's not unlike all of the other PDFs. I'm curious what other city documents are like it.
Negative examples are also useful when training AIs.
We must protect the children by removing protections from children!
On the one hand, up here in Canada this is going to likely have annoying ripple effects. We have a separate system (the ISED) with separate but similar certification criteria, and due to the similarity items are usually certified for both simultaneously. But I bet a lot of companies won't bother doing just ISED certification on its own.
On the plus side, though; hey, international corporations, come set up shop in Canada instead. We don't cut off Chinese electronics due to the random voices in a demented toddler-king's brain.
Then comes the matter of payment – Gawiser filed a “writ of execution” (another $240 in court fees) just yesterday, which would allow Texas law enforcement to seize and sell off enough of Tesla’s property as would be required to pay the judgment against them. If it comes to that, we hope he brings cameras.
This is the bit I always look forward to.
My favourite was the time the Bank of America refused to pay a fine of $2500 that was issued by a small-claims court, so the court ordered a bailiff to go to a local branch and just take stuff until they had enough to sell off to cover it. Since they couldn't take the cash (it technically wasn't the bank's, they were just holding on to it for depositors) they were wheeling out desks and chairs and whatnot until the bank manager hurriedly wrote a check.
Stop him? American society created him.
Not really sure how to fix this.
These things shouldn't be torn down. Relocated, sure, but Americans need to remember what they're capable of. Maybe put them in some kind of Smithsonian Museum of American Failure, along with all that Confederate statue spam.
