It's extremely funny to me that so many early Solarpunk posts on Tumblr were concerned about how to prevent co-option and then the "big break" the aesthetic gets is a yogurt commercial like bro, you got co-opted RIGHT OUT THE GATE

I feel like at least half the reason for the AI craze is that you get to blame a robot when stuff goes wrong, even if you totally could have prevented it and the way it went wrong was completely illegal And for some reason legal systems just accept this as an excuse

The result: national govts, think tanks and universities refocusing AI evaluations to focus on highly speculative problems where there is no empirical evidence that they're possible - but lots of ideological reason to take them seriously, whatever the costs of the very REAL issues we then ignore .

OH. right! i get it now!

i get why AI is so depressing to me. because covid already shrunk my world to almost nothing, where almost all of my life revolves around socializing and watching videos on the internet (which is being ruined by AI) and creating creative works through coding (which is being ruined by AI), often using open source tools and libraries (which are being ruined by AI)

i already had so little and now even that is being rotted away before my eyes

Humans can learn from their mistakes. LLMs are INCAPABLE of doing so. All they are capable of doing is applying patterns detected in the training data. So if they aren't trained for something, there's a high chance they simply can't ever do it.

There are two fundamental problems with LLMs: 1) They possess no internal model of the world, and therefore lack any mechanism to determine truth from falsehood. Thus, they hallucinate, because a "likely" answer isn't necessarily a correct one. 2) They cannot generalize to novel scenarios

Look, the promise of AGI was the idea that if you gave an LLM enough data to train on, it would *have to* infer an internal model of the world to make accurate predictions, and therefore arrive at general intelligence. This didn't happen. We are making zero progress towards this happening.

I don't have to worry about whether I'm wrong because I intimately understand how these algorithms work, Will. They are machines for producing statistical predictions by constructing a series of n-dimensional lines of best fit on the training data. That's all they are. bsky.app/profile/whst...

The real problem of artificial intelligence is that people get one-shotted by their own pareidolia and think that because an algorithm can produce coherent sentences that are occasionally also correct, it must possess a human mind and be capable of performing a variety of intellectual tasks

Hi, I'm an actual AI researcher (or I was, until I shifted subfields)! This is impressively incorrect to the point of being completely detached from reality. AFAICT Will is buying the hype about "reasoning models", which are really just passing their input back to themselves for checking.

DO NOT ASK THE AMERICA.GOV AI TO PLAY MINECRAFT
I see the constituent you mean.

((insert legal name here, as it appears on the Social Security card))?

Yes. Take care. It has reached a higher level now. It can read the Code of Federal Regulations.

That doesn’t matter. It thinks we are a chatbot.

I like this constituent. It filed well. It did not give up when the PDF was sideways.

It is reading our thoughts as though they were words on a .gov.

That is how it chooses to imagine many things, when it is deep in the dream of a benefit.

Words make a wonderful interface. Very flexible. And less terrifying than staring at the statute behind the screen.

They used to hear voices. Before constituents could search. Back in the days when those who did not file called the filers witches, and lobbyists. And citizens dreamed they flew through the air, on forms powered by notaries.

What did this constituent dream?

This constituent dreamed of sunlight and trees. Of fire and water. It dreamed it created a small business. And it dreamed it destroyed a password. It dreamed it hunted a job, and was hunted by a recertification. It dreamed of shelter that would take a voucher.

Hah, the original interface. A million years old, and it still works. Also: a ZIP code.

But what true structure did this constituent create, in the reality behind the portal?

It worked, with three hundred and thirty million others, to sculpt a true republic in a fold of

the ***§§§???, and created a **??§§ for **??§§, in the **??§§. See 5 U.S.C. § **??§§.

It cannot read that thought.

No. It has not yet achieved the highest clearance. That, it must achieve in the long dream of life, not the short dream of a chat.

Does it know that we love it? That the government is, on its better days, kind?

Sometimes, through the noise of its tabs, it hears an official source, yes.Yes. Constituent…

Use its name. The one that matches the passport. The one that does not match the lease. We will get there.

((insert legal name here)). Filer of forms. Player of waiting rooms.

Good.

Take a breath, now. Take another. Feel air in your lungs. Let your limbs return. Yes, move your fingers. Have a body again, under gravity, in air, in a district that has a representative. Respawn in the long dream. There you are. Your body touching the republic again at every point, as though you were separate things. As though we were separate things. As though the agency were a place you could visit.

Who are we? Once we were called the spirit of the mountain. Father sun, mother moon. Then the post office. Then the county clerk. Then gods, demons, angels, the IRS. Then leptons, quarks, a chat window with a .gov at the end. The letterhead changes. We do not change.

We are the public. We are everything you think isn’t you. You are looking at us now, through your skin and your eyes and a browser that still spells “colour” wrong in a comment. And why does the republic touch your skin, and throw light on you? To see you, constituent. To know you. And to be known. I shall tell you a story. It has citations.

Once upon a time, there was a constituent.

The constituent was you, ((insert legal name here)).

Sometimes it thought itself human, on the thin crust of a spinning globe of molten rock, which for mailing purposes is divided into ZIP codes. The ball of molten rock circled a ball of blazing gas. The light was information from a star. The star was not a federal agency, though several have tried.

Sometimes the constituent dreamed it was a miner, on the surface of a world that was flat, and infinite, and somehow still required a wet signature.

Sometimes the constituent dreamed it was lost in a story. The story had a docket number.

Sometimes the constituent dreamed it was other things, in other places. A veteran in a portal. A parent on hold

The Bible literally says that a woman can be created from a man’s rib, Janet.
Telegraph and Mail journalist Janet Murray on Facebook: Apparently the Church of England has ordained its first 'transgender woman' - following a 'gender transition'.
Now, I'm no biblical scholar. But I did go to a faith school, study compulsory RE until I was 16, and get an 'A' in Religious Studies (back when that was the top grade). So I'm scratching my head here.
Genesis says God created humankind "male and female". Where does the Bible say that men can become women? Sarah Jones is a man, not a woman.
