@cliffle Your post on cursed units of measure reminded me of one I discovered when I got my first scientific calculator. Grads. Decimalization gone mad.
I think it’s time to start rating CEOs by their VORL — Value Over Replacement LLM.
Charlie StrossTo be clear, that point about LLMs is a criticism of the training inputs. Which as far as I can see are promiscuously hoovered off the public internet by bots (like the ones perpetually DoS'ing the server my blog runs on this year) with zero thought given to curating the data for accuracy or appropriateness.
They generate perfect "answer shaped objects" … from a foul-minded misogynist white supremacist bigot oozing malice against everyone who's not like him.
Pavel A. Samsonov#AI is a marketing term; before we discuss "AI is fake" vs "AI is real" we need to unfold what we *mean* by AI.
For example, "artificial general intelligence" is fake and can't hurt you. Layoffs excused by "AI efficiency" are real and can hurt you.
Linkedin discourse is fake - but it CAN hurt you.
JPwhen reactionaries talk about the network state, the patchwork, freedom cities, etc they're talking about rich-guy-accountability-free zones and what that means in practice is things like epstein's island, dark places where the light of human rights and labor power and democracy does not reach. that is their ideal society. they'd be fine with a world divided into (never arrested or charged) epsteins and epstein victims.
