this website isn't nor has it ever been about conversation of any kind. this website is about conditioning your friends with praise to utter increasingly demented sentences while they do the same to you

having now used AI pretty extensively for programming, my take on AI in a nutshell is: AI is for making it easier for humans to talk to computers. it is NOT to make it easier to talk to other humans. My expert opinion is that AI is not, in fact, coming for my job as a music theory professor.

I guess it’s good for the world that I went into the arts rather than trying to make money? I mean, I’m still a monster, but with rather limited reach.

Hey sorry I just found out about the UFC fight at the White House and I just want to make sure I'm correct in saying this is totally bizarre? What is the precedent? What other similar things have been done in the past? Am I missing something? I feel gaslit

Remember, Democrats have repeatedly advanced measures to ban partisan gerrymandering and Republicans have voted against them time after time. This is the game Republicans wanted to play. OK, then.

If you teach please show your students this. If you're a student, please read this. The answers LLMs generate are not all alike. They are more likely to hallucinate on topics we don't already know a lot about. Even answers with "sources" shouldn't be trusted. leahbroad.substack.com/p/chatgpts-a...

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.
