8. often, when people say LLMs "can do" something they mean LLMs can produce output that looks like the output of doing something 9. producing something that looks like the output of doing something is not the same thing as doing it

Claude making a scientific discovery
Black-and-white three-part comic. In the first scene, one simple cartoon figure holds out a small round handmade-looking object and says, “I MADE THIS.” Another figure replies, “YOU MADE THIS?” In the second scene, the second figure is shown alone holding the object. In the final scene, that figure holds it proudly and says, “I MADE THIS”

"There has never been a more money-losing technology than the large language model, and yet it is aimed mainly at creating business problems rather than solving them." Every meeting of our "AI group" is people unable to answer what problem we're trying to solve but 100% it needs to include genAI.

Eugenics is the tool of the oppressor. We do not need it. We will not use it. Hate to break it to you, but this means: Mentioning “the gene pool” The concept of IQ and BMI Standardized tests “Gifted” AND “special” education Rawdogging viruses “Social Darwinism” “Effective altruism”

I read this story and can’t help think of the breathless coverage media has given these delusional fantasies about superintelligent AI killing humanity in ten years, when companies are releasing tools coaching mass shooters and helping people kill themselves. People need to wake the fuck up.

The image is of a four panel comic.
In the first panel we see Sarah, the protagonist, next to a stick figure labeled “AI”. The stick figure says, “my outputs look just like yours now.”
The second panel zooms in on Sarah’s face. Above her we see text reading “I think”.
The third panel zooms in closer on Sarah’s face. Text above her reads “you missed”.
The fourth panel shows Sarah drawing happily in a sunlit room. The text above her reads “the point”.

AGAIN! You do not need to fear "superintelligent AI" "going rogue" & killing humans, when HUMANS keep putting regular, everyday shitty-assed, extremely error-prone "AI" into potentially life-&-death-crucial systems. It does not have to be "powerful" to do that! It can do that & still be very shitty!

How did he pass is job interview? The same reason he's all over the press & everyone in the "left" is captured by these people. I'm gonna call it like it is, once again, its ******RACISM********* Y'all can't imagine that WE are the experts.
100GB+ frontier models aren’t  50KB virus you could pass around by emails. As if there are tons of H100 sitting idle with inference stack ready everywhere. 

How did this guy pass the job interview at Anthropic as a “researcher”?

Quote tweeting a tweet that says: 
Rohan Paul
@rohanpaul_ai
Jacob Coxon's next interview on CBS News (ex Anthropic+Open AI researcher who resigned)

"We can't just unplug it because it could be copying itself over to other computers. Like it's not that difficult to find yourself because an AI is just code. It could transfer itself over the internet to a different place and then you unplug it here, but it's actually still over there and maybe it makes 10,000 copies of itself and they're all cooperating."

This isn’t exclusive to AI, by the way, though it includes AI as presented in hundreds of tech journalism puff pieces and finger-wagging Chronicle sermons. My history classroom is not your “sandbox,” and your suggestion that it should be only tells me how unqualified you are for this conversation.

Doctor after turning down AI: I'm noticing all my patients in IT decline. Also "consent" is inadequate. "The doctor uses his phone to record and take notes" is in no way, shape or form enough information for an informed decision. This isn't consent, this is deception from healthcare institutions.
