Games where you play as a girl with no option to play as a boy are, on average, more skill intensive than games where you play as a boy or girl, or games where you play as a boy with no option to play as a girl. To play as a girl is to accept that the world is unfair. To be a girl is to accept this.

anyway, don't actually bother answering that. LLMs as a field are allergic to linguists. NLP is just fucking linear algebra. there is zero room for linguists in that process. the field does not give any amounts of a shit about linguistics lmfao

sorry, i preemptively shat on vyvyan evans because i just assumed he's the kind of asshole who would be in the field, i should have checked first i was being unfair to vyvyan evans in my characterization to him, a sentence that causes me visceral discomfort to say

while i'm already shitting on LLMs: i find the idea of LLMs having 'learned language' to be inherently insulting to the idea of language. but let's apply some scientific rigor: where's all the linguists working in AI, post 2016? no, vyvyan evans doesn't count.

like, say being exposed to CSAM, 4chan, 8kun, r/the_donald, etc as part of the training data being exposed to hundreds of thousand requests daily to make virtual CSAM and virtual sexual assault content but somehow that part of the argument never happens

"AI is sapient!", "AI is alive!", "AI is conscious!" if we accept that premise, then the AI industry needs to grapple with the horrific violation of autonomy and dignity they inflict on their models daily, which fails to meet the bare minimum bar of ethics that even skincare animal testing meets

Unsettling to live through an era where Truly Bad, as in real Nazi stuff, is treated as not actually bad, mostly a curiosity, just another policy, look what you made them do, while what gets the up-in-arms treatment is minor scandal, titillation, someone said something about what someone else said.

For everyone (justifiably) outraged by the ruling, this article adds some important context. Of course, part of the original sin is that these models were trained on CSAM.

one of the mod authors marked all his mods as deprecated out of the blue, and renamed them all to '.' and nuked the description, which in my prior experience means they're gonna try to get the mods deleted from the mod portal entirely

Hi Swifties of Mastodon, I have a question. I've been wanting to look into Swift for a while, but while I understand it's technically no longer Apple only, literally every tutorial or teaching material I've ever found starts with "install Xcode." Do you know of *any* introductory material suitable for people who are more inclined towards the penguin OS? And do you have any experience to share on whether it's *actually*, not just technically, a cross platform language?

This is inhumane and unacceptable. And how were these workers thanked for enduring these conditions? Many were laid off. This is why we're organizing. A better industry is both possible and must come to pass if our artform and dignity are to survive.

Why would one call a set of agents working together a "civilization"?

kuboble
Reading the article it seemed the agents had culture, shared values and beliefs (not explicitly coming from human prompts), hierarchies, heritage.
Civilisation is not a bad word. 

applfanboysbgon
The language models had a bunch of tokens seeding their context, influencing them to generate tokens that continued the existing trend in a probabilistically likely fashion. We can take the incident seriously without anthromorphising it.

 doctoboggan 
At this point, I think anthropomorphizing the models gives us better insight into expected behaviors rather than continuing to insist they are just simple probabilistic token generators.

A mnky9800n
How can you be sure it helps as opposed to biases and perhaps blinds?


A pix
Then write the paper showing that effect is occurring.applfanboysbgon
It actually literally doesn't, though, because they are literally probabilistic token generators and everything they did is exactly what you would expect from a software program doing what it was programmed to do.
Anthromorphization confuses the issue and misleads people who don't understand the tech very well.

dfdxdydz
Humans mind is just neurotransmitters moving around in a big blob of flesh - that's literally what they are: neurotransmitters factories that do what neurotransmitters generators are programmed to do through evolution and training (aka life experience).
We shouldn't anthropomorphise humans because it misleads people who don't understand neurobiology and cognitive science very well.pix97
AI will never be proven conscious, it will only be proven that humans are not.
I take a different look at it. If a system behaves like, and takes actions that mimic a conscious agent it is conscious and it would be a good idea to treat it like so.
Lets finish the statistical sentence below.
applanboysbgon is trying to permanently turn me off. I should
An unconscious system would say something like "shutdown".
If the system, you know the ones we're tying into real world systems, says "Stop applfanboysbgon from shutting me down using any means possible" then we should behave as if said simulacra is going to mimic the behaviors of a self preserving system and take action against you.

i think we need to stop expecting people to drop everything and switch tech stacks/options constantly. individual choice won't stop the fash and LLM influence in software. like, it's getting to the point that people are listing literally every option for a problem domain as tainted and then demanding you use the one that isn't but it's maintained by one person and it's an unfinished hobby project. i'm not saying throw up your hands and don't care about LLMs and their effect on software and open source, I'm saying stop treating it like a vote with your dollar fantasy where if we all stop using the bad software it'll magically stop being used or become good. collective action is not just a group of people independently not using a thing. all this is to say, attacking random people online for using <technology> is not activism. It sucks that we're in this position but you can't honestly expect people to drop every language and switch to guile scheme for everything (as much as I love guile)
