I don't understand why researchers have to come up with new specialized terminology like hallucinations and “mirage reasoning" when "making shit up" is right there

hello hi yes so this makes sense when you understand that the sucess condition for an LLM is the production of a text-base, genre-bound performance of a plausible and acceptable answer to a given question. the question defines the expected genre.

The article analyses a case where Danish facebook users engage in a conspiracy theory about a Danish children’s television host. The actor was accused of being at the centre of a satanic cabal grooming and abusing children through the tv show. The CT is an example of how these narratives travel

I've said it before: I genuinely consider it a moral imperative that people my age and up bang the drum about what the Internet used to be so those younger know that there's nothing inherent about what it is now. The Internet doesn't have to be this; its culture can and has belonged to people.

Agreed. And part of the harm comes from people not understanding how it works and using it as a profecy/truth teller machine. We need regulation on use cases right now.

Ragebait, toksiske posts og fake content fylder meget i debatten om sociale medier, men tilsyneladende drejer det sig kun om 3 til 7 procent af indholdet. Og det kommer fra få brugere. Ifølge academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/ar... Findes der tal fra Danmark? cc @m-b-petersen.bsky.social

Nogle politikere opfatter det som deres pligt at være til stede på Facebook fordi de har en fornemmelse af direkte dialog med borgerne. Jeg tror en bekymring kunne være at de sender er signal om ikke længere at ville det hvis de smutter. Men jeg er enig. De burde forlade platformene.

Oh. My. God. Chomsky talking about the 'hysteria' that has developed about the abuse of women and giving Epstein advice on how to handle the media. In 2019. The Media studies discipline and much of the left should reflect on the power given to this one flawed man to shape generations of thought.

It’s CONGRESS that can stop ICE and CBP deployment to MN. The Dems (and any responsible Rs?) should introduce legislation and agitate for a vote: “No federal funds may be used for further activities of ICE or CBP in the state of Minnesota, except for their prompt withdrawal.”

Calling all the PhDs I know to make monumental annoyances of themselves (and honestly, who better)

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang doesn't want "well-respected people" like PhDs and CEOs to criticize AI, especially in front of governments.

He labeled concerns about the AI technology a "doomer narrative": https://80.lv/articles/nvidia-ceo-doesn-t-want-well-respected-people-to-criticize-ai

The screenshot includes a color photo of Jensen Huang wearing his typical leather jacket. He is an Asian man, with glasses and silver hair. His overall affect is smug.
