I guess the standard parroter rebuttal to “How are large language models so effective (though not perfect) at performing arithmetic on arbitrary many-digit integers?” is “Secret calculator”

Banks, the biggest arbiter of what can be distributed online, are steadily restricting the types of speech — art, entertainment, resources — permitted. A payment provider dropped FlowFo for allowing sex-related content, pushing them out of business. Financial discrimination is censorship.

'you're cognitively offloading'. yes. correct. that is what i wish to do. i do not wish to expend cognition figuring out which pharmacist takes my insurance and is closest. i want to offload it & be told who that is. you are free to continue manually doing this task you evidently find so meaningful

Got it, thanks for clarifying! You are dealing with YouTube’s auto-playlist generation, where clicking a single song or album forces it into a "Mix" playlist layout with a custom queue. Unfortunately, YouTube intentionally designed this feature so that if Autoplay is active when you click a music-related video, it automatically forces the video into a Mix panel.

Nation-state and lone-actor misuse of LLMs really are serious threats, but that applies to the US state and to US billionaire lone actors too - if we're to seriously think about this problem, we can't pretend Elon Musk and Dept of War CTO AI lethalitymaxxing posts aren't in scope as concerns.

This leads to a credibility gap: to put it crudely, why should anyone trust AI safety analysis when y'all are partying with SPECTER and cashing checks from Blofeld? Why should anyone take analysis of lone wolf/PLA misuse of open-weight models seriously when there's no similar analysis of XAI?

I'm literally only responding to this because non-bots are saying this is true, but... No. A proper Marxist movement seeks to bring the means of production under proletarian control. If so-called "AI" has any productive worth, the Marxist answer is to bring it under worker control, not abolish it.

flashlight turned off of its own accord. tested: turned back on, still worked. faint hum on the edge of hearing. grew louder with wandering. in some spots where it was very loud, on the edge of something, a faint electronic throbbing under the hum. moved, grew louder and louder: silence. battery ok

"AI safety" is doomed as currently conceived because no amount of thinking can dig you out of false zero-sum premises. Paperclip maximizing, roko's basilisk, whatever all the shrimp stuff is - the throwing around of "bayesian" just to domesticate uncertainty into binary confidence says a lot.
