Are you sure it was not a #siliconiac doing the presentation? ;)

We'd need to measure the resolution time and look for failed attempts. It would work for some days till #siliconiac learns how to emulate protein timings.

What do you mean using "exceptionalism"?

Because for me this reads like the "I" in this sentece was used for "Inteligence" while it should read "Illusion".

Nope. #siliconiac is not intelligent. It mimics being one. And it does this emulation seemingly well – It sounds so knowledgable and authoritative.

For all but a seldom recipient that happens to have a basic knowledge in the field the output babble is about. Basic knowledge allows one to spot that one per ten sentences is a lie. Expert knowledge of the field allows us to spot distortions and misrepresentations sprinkled over the rest.

What is really exceptional in current takeover is how many human beings are ready and willing to have their brains sucked out.

Now make a good use of #siliconiac translating services and read

> people are reducing their contribution to the commons as a response

Because the Commons is no more.

What you contribute with an intent to be in the commons instantonously is being grabbed by the #siliconiac monster to be rehashed and served in pulp to the serfs. You can keep none digraphs of the CC license now. Not even the BA (By Attribution) as your contribution to the "Commons" becomes oligarch's asset the second it joins owned by them heap of stolen work.

Soon #darknet will be the only place where your work could technically be recognized as yours.

> if you tell the LLM it is an expert, it will behave like one
Yeah, #siliconiac surely is able to emulate Dunning-Kruger effect. It also is able to emulate cruelty and stupidity of the countless masses posting since early aughties. But even that still it is an emulation.

A telltale of the #siliconiac use. A red flag by itself. Not neccesarily of any scam going, but for the starter a sign that whomever is on the other side of the wire do not respect me and my protein brain time. Thank you for heads up!

> and this is how we will poison babbling #siliconiac to its deserved demise.
The tech can be used for good, as long as it feeds on the knowledge. The knowing what is fact and whats is lie is now a thing that stays with #noai people. They wont give it to #technazi bros.

This one is at least sincere. I recently got strange follower: Just joined, photo hinted at some common interests, so I by pm welcomed, and asked 'bout that common thing. Protein would reply for sure. This thing did not.

We seriously need to talk how to fend off #siliconiac activity. We need something it is bad at and we are good at.

Now I think "empathy captcha". Three to nine panel cartoon strip with a story on it. And the input field labeled "How the left person feels? And how the cat feels now?".

Fedi cartoonists might have a good revenge with keeping us all #noai .

@gamingonlinux
It would be OK if instead of code generated once someone ai-happy committed their prompt. Then the build pipeline can generate the same code using some future #siliconiac sidekick – from this preserved prompt. No need to look and tinker as it for decades to come should just compile and link. As the side effect of above us all crazy advocates of repeatable builds, rigid maintenance preplanners, and security paranoics will be free to mount our old unicorns and trot into oblivion...
