"I belong to a cult. Someone did some research that undermines the core tenets of my cult and came up with a catchy phrase that makes it harder to recruit more people to my cult. This makes me sad."
Screencap of tweet on X from @jackclarkSF (Jack Clark):

"stochastic parrot" was a mimetically-fit cognitive virus that spread from 2021-2025; it temporarily blinded many gifted people to the nature of AI progress, burning up crucial years in which they could have helped think through the response to the situation.

Of course it all matters because it undergirds the reasonableness of very unreasonable claims about the existential risk of ai; which distract from important economic and policy questions in the moment; like how wrecked pensions are gonna be when the bubble pops.

I don’t mean this to be cruel, but there’s just too much air being taken up by people with media or tech backgrounds who think their hot take on consciousness with LLMs is new, and lord it has all been done before and we’re past that. Christ, half the news cycle is yud refusing to read a book.

If roughing up a girlfriend and locking her in a room was a virile, authentic a rejection of “smoothgroined” “HR lady” politics, but a rape is too far, then what’s at stake is not a principled rejection of violence against women but a cynical assessment of how much violence a man can get away with.

I was R1 for a paper at some journal. R2 was an A-hole. They told the (British) authors to native-English edit their flawless text, berated them for citing preprints, tried to coerce citations. True R2 bingo. We should normalize refusing to review for outlets where such BS behavior is allowed.

My benign take is that (1) you’re not responsible for checking all of your coauthor’s citations but also (2) the new arXiv policy is totally reasonable because there should be consequences for fake citations and there’s no practical way to adjudicate multi-author cases.
