I texted it to my family group. I'm sure my wife and kids will understand my half asleep ramblings when they wake up

I did the short test and it tells me I'm anarcho communist. Then I did the long test and it came out pretty much the same as yours. I think there is a disconnect between things I know are true vs things I think are good.

going insane because you traveled interdimensionally or met aliens or met god is understandable. but going insane because you used a computer chat program is just embarrassing

What a shitty state to be in. AI bastards are ruining everything. Even our horse game is being scraped so hard by LLM bots that it goes offline for people. I really wish it would all fuck off.

Infinitely more disturbing than any science fiction story about a rogue AI are the real grown adults who believe ChatGPT can think and has a sense of self.

I found a very dried out onion in the back of the pantry. I tossed it outside, but Larissa was out there reading. Now she thinks dried onions are falling from the sky.

How about this: Instead of hyping up the piece of shit TERF queen and her exceedingly mid books, we point kids in the direction of K.A. Applegate and her fantastic, terrifying Animorphs series?

I made a 3D printed belt out of TPU for IBM Selectric typewriters. I'm trying a split design that can be glued together, but if that doesn't work I also made a normal belt.

I used the power of the One Ring. I recognize that it's evil, and I expect a lot of people to be mad at me for using it. Sorry! However, I plan to continue using it. Here's why: (1/62)

The Luddites loved technology. They owned looms at home and would ‘mod’ them to count threads. Their battle was against worker exploitation. The degradation of their rights, safety and wages. They were against a handful of rich businessmen owning the means of production. Sound familiar?

there's a way easier solution to this than banning mostly ai code, or banning ai code contributions it's banning the people who do them permanently once you verify that they're submitting code made through ai you just blacklist them permanently

This is just a zoom lens with detents at three focal lengths so when you use it with a rangefinder camera you have an idea of what the framing will be. It's still just a normal zoom lens.

It's very much not a replacement (since by its nature various restrictions are imposed on images and audio) but #Decker is at least free from any gen AI nonsense, and the included dialogizer and puppeteer modules are pretty handy for making visual novels

cool paper arguing LLMs can be implemented as a shitload of goats in Age of Empires II... thus it'd be silly to assume / project human-like consciousness onto it

Ted Chiang on AI: www.theatlantic.com/philosophy/2...
Being open to the possibility that LLMs are conscious is the same as being open to the possibility that Microsoft Word is conscious, or, more precisely, that multiple distinct consciousnesses are dormant in every Word document containing a conversational transcript, and that they are awakened every time the document is loaded. Should you consider the possibility that every time you open a Word document you are bringing multiple conscious interlocutors into existence, and every time you close one you snuff their existence out? No. Contemplating that scenario is not a good use of your time. Even if the Microsoft Office team employed a philosopher who said you shouldn’t be so certain, because consciousness is not well understood, that would not be sufficient reason for you to take this idea seriously. We don’t need to fully understand the nature of consciousness to definitively say that certain things are not conscious, and conversational transcripts fall in that category.

I posted something about the joy of doing creative work, how the time spent is often of real value, and an AI bro said "You're just saying that to make a point." No, my friend, I've lived my entire adult life that way and I am older than VCRs.
