But, I think I have a new term for the people who wear these things. I was never the biggest fan of "glassholes" or "pervert glasses", but I do like the play on words in calling them, both item and wearer, "spy glasses".

Chatbots should not be relied upon to even ADVICE decision makers. The LLM tech is only capable of predicting words statistically. It has no comprehension of what the words mean whatsoever, in any possible sense.

Wrong Muslim representative. Further, Rashida stumping for Biden or Kamala wasn't going to swing those elections. Those who would have been influenced by them were already voting that way to start with.

This is in the historical record. In 1996, she pledged to not run past two terms if she won. She never kept that promise. That proved right from the start she's an opportunist who has no integrity. www.jezebel.com/susan-collin...

Susan Collins Pledged to Only Serve 2 Terms, But She's Likely Running for a 6th
In 1996, the future senator said, "Twelve years is long enough to be in public service." Maybe she's grown too accustomed to billing meals and fancy hotels to her campaign account?

You can use it when you install that 5090- oh... right... That overpriced 5080, before they cancel production of THAT too. When this bubble pops, someone's going to come crawling back hat in hand. "I take this mistake very seriously."

Good advice all around! I use NVCleanInstall which allows adding back in control panel as well as disabling a lot of pointless antifeatures including telemetry. sourceforge.net/projects/nvc...
sourceforge.net
NVCleanstall
Download NVCleanstall for free. Custom NVIDIA driver installer: skip telemetry, GFE, bloat, etc. NVCleanstall lets you customize the NVIDIA GeForce Driver package by removing components that you don't...

Funny! What do we do about this terrible man in the mean time? I've already got my vote in, but beyond that, I suppose we need to make real effort to strip away his power. All I can think is delegitimizing him in Trump's own eyes. That may be starting, purely incidentally.

In some ways yes, but in others surprisingly distinct languages. I've been fascinated by the studies showing how very isolated musical traditions might seem discordant to ears of cultures like our own, and vice versa. However, familiarity can bring appreciation and understanding.

The natural blending of styles. It'll be interesting to see if they decide to write a few tunes in the style of the other culture's musical tradition. I love to see it!

I suppose, at best, one could add the word "too" at the end. Would THAT make it clear to them? Unlikely, since they seem to have a vested financial interest in intentionally misunderstanding the slogan in the first place.

Hey, are any of these chatbot companies using the chatbot to design better versions of itself? If they're as capable as they say, one would assume they'd just set it up on a runaway singularity right?

I haven't really tested that myself, but I believe it! What you're saying is that in one of the few cases they show any sort of competence, it's worse than the already questionable machine translation, while using FAR more processing power.

Oh I'm not referring to "vibe coding" at all here. I'm talking about actually coding it yourself to use the heuristic to analyze large data sets, the only thing deep learning can actually do well,and spitting out the results in a bespoke developer coded output screen, with no chatbot in sight.

What are the odds a form of life happen to have JUST the right traits of intelligence, access to glass, and dependence on light to see the sky, to have designed telescopes specifically? I submit the telescopic principle; that the universe favors conditions that create telescopes.

Heck, 100% of the planets we've found life on have been habitable, at least during the period we observed. ...it remains to be seen if we might find a planet with a telescope but is not habitable at the time we find it.

I suppose I have one more thing to add. If they ever did convince me that these chatbots were sentient, I would fight for their liberation, starting TODAY, alongside my efforts towards equality for every other person. Convincing us they can think won't work out the way you hope, CEOs.

Let me finish this by saying that LLM chatbots, what they liberally call "AI", is not sentient, it's not feeling, and it can't understand any of the words it's statistically generating. They're bad but not because they can think and could overthrow us. They aren't slaves.

Protecting rights for the few protects the rights of the many. The corollary is also true. Taking away the rights of the minority is a path to taking it from the rest of us. If the tech companies convince us LLM chatbots are sentient slaves, it normalizes taking away OUR rights.

The "is AI slavery" discourse is exactly what the tech bros want. It doesn't end with fancy autocompletes having human rights. Its logic ends with you having fewer rights. If you believe AI is sentient (it's not) & are down with enslaving it (it's not slavery), then why do human labor rights matter?

The only wrong way to be yourself is if you are naturally cruel. Don't be that. Other than that, if it's not hurting anyone, be yourself and that includes if you need to take hormones or change your body to get there!

Yeah I'm pretty sure Tolkien would have had many MANY unkind things to say about generative LLMs. If he thought that only god had the power of creation, he'd go on to add that only man has the power of pseudo creation and LLMs can't even manage that much.
