well, you see, dna is like a code. just like natural languages are like code. just like traffic patterns are like code. how educating young people's brains is like coding. how relationships and dating is like designing code. the way the weather behaves like code. these are basically solved problems
The opportunity cost of what has been poured into LLMs would be a generation-defining tragedy even without the primary harm of LLMs existing and being used
Funny thought experiment: Tech monopolies have spent about $1 trillion on AI development so far. How good of a chatbot could we have built for $1 trillion by just employing smart people to answer any question people might reasonably ask and collecting all the answers in a big lookup table?

I think it's actually ok to be repelled by otherwise "cool" things when they're inextricably part of a white supremacist movement. I think thats super good and normal actually!
do think there's a danger of looking at extremely cool shit like a car driving upside down then doing a kickflip before landing, and convincing yourself it's actually lame because the guy funding it is a white supremacist

Do you think she has an LLM extrude a 26 word tweet for her or do you think she just spends so much time on them she thinks this is what English sentences sound like
agents are online, and they’re here to stay. open protocols are the layer that lasts, so excited to see human agent interactions being prototyped on delve.town

A literal fascist propaganda rag can make a post with the lede "can you believe we're letting these piggies vote" and the brave defenders of democracy on this website will eat it right up and ask for more
do not gaze too long into the mind of the median voter, lest the mind of the median voter gaze also into you
"Ban violent video games" comes around again except this time we're also banning ones where you're mean or something
I’m not so sure it’s okay to allow people to act out being abusive to even a simulation of a person. And it’s genuinely a beautiful aspect of human nature that we have to put in a bunch of mental effort *not* to form a (para)social bond with something, even if there’s no real subject there

Yeah, the pretty clearly measured and sensible perspective here is basically total rejection of this technological imposition and uprooting of the legal framework that has enforced it. The boosters are frankly delirious from propaganda and groupthink, and the media is bought or full of fomo.
I'm increasingly frustrated that people who are anti-AI aren't being taken seriously, and taking a page out of my thoughts on why the anti-trans backlash got as far as it did I'm starting to think the anti-AI side isn't extreme enough.
I don't want to interrupt dragging this guys ass but sometimes it is worth keeping up with something you don't intrinsically care much about for the sake of socializing and the key thing about that is YOU STILL ACTUALLY HAVE TO DO IT. The whole point is having a common thing to talk about!!!
the tech bro who uses AI to play fantasy football for him is being dragged online. no one has ever been quite so mad frankly.

I know I KNOW this is the least bad thing about the Fully Automated War Crimes Cockference but why do they have their pants hemmed to show off their entire novelty socks all the way up the calf
Hegseth hosts his first Project Meridian meeting with Musk, Palmer Luckey and Newt Gingrich. They’re looking at ways to use tech to boost Hegseth’s agenda, most likely using AI for surveillance and weapons.
If Gavin Newsom is the Democratic Presidential nominee I will go to the polls, get out my phone, and shred my ballot live on TikTok
California Gov. Gavin Newsom has vetoed a bill that would have penalized people for using smart glasses to record people without their permission in changing rooms, doctor's offices and other spaces people generally consider private.
The statistical average of all communication is noise. The value of any given communication is the way in which the subjectivity of the speaker moves it away from the average. LLM text artifacts are per se valueless and by crowding out actual communication create negative value.
They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
Half the big tech oligarchs apparently can't spell their own full names and Dario Amodei looks like he almost tore the paper forming the "D" exactly like they taught him in second grade before pivoting to scribbles
The White House accord on AI that was signed by all the big tech oligarchs today misspells United States as “Unites States.”

Damn it's almost like lack of consent is baked into the entire worldview that makes it possible to build or conceivable to use AI as we have it today
Women trying to succeed in Silicon Valley AI and effective altruist spaces are reporting feeling serious social pressure to attend sex parties - where people have reported being sexually assaulted, like below. Events like Aella’s “Slutcon,” which is happening again this weekend.
