No two words send AI industry advocates into fits of rage more than "stochastic parrots." The question is: Why? Why do they get so worked up over this particular critical framework time and time again? I sat down with @emilymbender.bsky.social, one of the coauthors of the original paper, to discuss

The two words the AI industry hates more than anything

I talk with computational linguist Emily M. Bender, co-author of the influential 2021 “stochastic parrots” paper, about why AI industry leaders can’t stop seething over the term.

On one hand yes totally, but on the other hand, when my biology professor friend knew he had young earth creationist-raised kids in his class, he was certain to stress never ever assigning agency to evolution. I feel like u gotta be extra careful when the audience might actually believe it.

the el-sayed win shows yet again that centrists are now everything they always claim the left is when it comes to israel: ideologically rigid, in hock to extremists, mistaking online beefs (ie hasan) for mass politics—and toxic to the electorate.

"They want mass deportations, no new wars, and the American worker and family uplifted." In other words, they want classy Nazis, and instead they're getting tacky Nazis. How sad for them.

Young conservatives dismiss these estimates as an establishment effort to smear their entire generation. “The young men we bring to DC are not Groypers,” Nick Solheim, the CEO of American Moment, wrote on X. (He declined to comment for this article.) “They think Nick Fuentes is a blackpiller and a charlatan. They want to see order restored in their country. They want mass deportations, no new wars, and the American worker and family uplifted.”

The only thing this excellent takedown misses is that Pike’s awfulness is directly connected to the ideology of the show runners. Centrism sees having no opinions and no values as morally correct. Pike stammering and saying nothing in the face of injustice is what they want you to think heroism is.
