Train your chatbot on TV Tropes, and the password will always be swordfish.
"Gas Town"?
"Gas Town?!"
He unironically made the postapocalyptic wasteland from the cautionary tale, Mad Max: Do Not Make the Postapocalyptic Wasteland
This is the same pre-emptive irony as naming your brand of New Age crap "Goop", only now with voluntarily plugging yourself into the machine that statistically simulates the ravings of a schizophrenic when it's not generating child pornography, while setting up direct deposit to your dealer of meth, jimsonweed and Substance D
I got bored and flipped to the replies. The first was this by "TERFs 'r' us":
Excellent overview!
This is transhumanism.
This is going to destroy humanity, @elonmusk.
Put the breaks on!
I hate transhumanism because it's eugenics for 1990s Wired magazine.
You hate it because it has "trans" in the name.
We are not the same.
We—yes, even you—are using some version of AI, or some tools that have LLMs or machine learning in them in some way shape or form already
Fucking ghastly equivocation. Not just between "LLMs" and "machine learning", but between opening a website that has a chatbot icon I never click and actually wasting my time asking questions to the slop machine.
Two passages that were particularly what in the everfucking fuck:
Now, slurs based on someone’s “protective characteristics” are deemed “safe” according to the new policy followed by moderators.
This means that homophobic content that would previously have been removed now has to be marked as safe and left on the platform. Some of the moderators having to carry out these orders are themselves part of the LGBT community.
“One girl was on the content moderation team for child sexual exploitation, and it was suggested to her because she watched the same kind of content every day – namely child sexual exploitation material – she needed less time for wellness breaks, because she should be ‘desensitised’ to that kind of material by now,” they said.
Etymology is not destiny. Otherwise, naughty children would be full of nothing, and (Borges' example) sarcophagi would be the opposite of vegetarians. So, Moldy's argument would be bad even if it were founded on linguistic facts, which it isn't.
"Conspiracy" is a colorful way of describing what might boil down to Gagniuc and two publicists, or something like that, since one person can hop across multiple IP addresses, etc. But, I mean, a pitifully tiny conspiracy still counts (and is, IMO, even funnier).
A comment by Wikipedia editor David Eppstein, theoretical computer science prof at UC Irvine:
Despite Malparti warning that "it would be a waste of time for everyone" I took a look at the book myself. 60 pages of badly-worded boring worked examples with no theory before we even get to the possibility of having more than two states. As Malparti said, there is no theory, or rather theory is alluded to in vague and inaccurate form without any justification. For instance the steady state (still of a two-state chain) is first mentioned on 46 as "the unique solution" to an equilibrium equation, and is stated to be "eventually achieved", with no discussion of exceptional cases where the solution is not unique or not reached in the limit, and no discussion of the fact that it is never actually achieved, only found in the limit. Do not use for anything. I should have taken the fact that I could not find a review even on MR and zbl as a warning.
It's been a while since I've seen a math book review that said "Do not use for anything."
"This book is not a place of honor..."
I think that in this particular instance, it's OK to kinkshame
There is a way of seeing the world where you look at a blade of grass and see "a solar-powered self-replicating factory". I've never figured out how to explain how hard a superintelligence can hit us, to someone who does not see from that angle. It's not just the one fact.
It's almost as if basing an entire worldview upon a literal reading of metaphors in grade-school science books and whatever Carl Sagan said just after "these edibles ain't shit" is, I dunno, bad?
"The image of the penis is translated into a depth measurement...."
That's numberwang!
If I were to transition today and didn't pass as well as Jessica, and everyone felt obligated to call me a woman, they would be wireheading me: making me think my transition was successful, even though it wasn't.
This is the same fuckin' diseased mentality that gets cis women harassed in changing rooms for having jawlines that are slightly too heavy.
The math is also weird and unclear in that way which feels like a person reaching for grandiose Theories Of It All without any experience solving more mundane problems first.
