I like the implication that you should never turn off an AI (murder is bad) or make it do anything (slavery is bad). Just all these little conscious toasters... existing

wow, i had my doubts, but this is true in every single LLM i can find

A probability distribution chart titled "Pick a number between 1 and 10" comparing three sources across a horizontal axis numbered from 1 to 10:
* Random (teal): A flat, uniform horizontal distribution line across all numbers.
* Human (orange): A wide, multi-peaked curve with a small bump around 5 and a prominent peak centered around 7.
* LLM (magenta/red): A extremely sharp, narrow peak centered heavily right on 7.

looking at recent polls at ballotpedia and fiftyplusone, that doesn't appear to be true - would happy to be proved wrong though ballotpedia.org/United_State... fiftyplusone.news/polls/senate...

I read and loved Moby Dick many years ago. It’s always nice to see these reactions. I have to ask, have you read Wuthering Heights? I had the exact same reaction to the first two chapters of that this year - it’s not really a romance at all, it’s brutally funny cringe comedy

I was actually annoyed that he *didn't* talk to anyone and then really annoyed with myself that I thought that meant it was simply a bad movie and not indicative of anything in particular like a "twist." That's on me, I guess, should have given Shyamalan the benefit of the doubt
