So, is Linus just dictator-for-life? Does he have the final say on everything?

I learned cursive and then never used it again. I learned it to sign my name, but you don’t even need cursive to sign your name because everybody’s signature is just a big scribble anyway.

Sure, “an atheist” might say that. Being an atheist doesn’t stop you from making hilariously bad arguments.

The part that gets me is that they think it’s wrong because it’s disgusting. It’s the same reason why they think that LGBTQ people are immoral. All of those things make them go “eeww”.

I’m trying to imagine having a values system that isn’t predicated upon things like consent or sentience. It’s based upon what makes you go “yuck”.

I’m skeptical he would win that suit. Google can just say that they had to enforce their rules regardless of whether the police think he’s innocent or not, and since they own the servers that his files were on, they reserve the right to delete those files if they decide to.

Like LLMs, they’re a sad technology for sad, stupid people.

LLMs are good for identifying plants. And transcription. And a bunch of other things I can’t think of right now. If you’ve ever had to do transcription by hand, you know the pain, and you’ll be so grateful to have a machine do it for you.

The problem is people trying to shoehorn LLMs into everything and calling it “Artificial Intelligence”.

To Christians, gross and wrong are the same thing. I remember reading about a study done awhile ago that demonstrated that some percentage of the population base their morality upon a disgust response.

“I saw all these comments about if you wear those glasses you’re basically a predator or a creep, and I was like, ‘Oh, maybe it’s not a good idea to have those,’” said Kujawa. "I didn’t really think that through all the way… there are a lot of times where it’s not appropriate to wear cameras on your face."

Words to live by.

CEO Mark Zuckerberg remains convinced that smart glasses will eventually replace the smartphone.

Sure, Jan.

The moral of Don’t Create the Torment Nexus is that you should create the torment nexus first so that you’re in control of it!

Same issue as the robots in Star Wars. If you’re going to give a machine a personality, why is it an annoying one?

Hold on, let me get my AI lawyer.

You got banned from the entire site for that?

Since it’s Anubis, shouldn’t it be a puppy-girl?

To use your car analogy: what you are arguing is the equivalent of saying that a car will eventually become a horse.

How did you learn to think?

I’m not being facetious. This is an honest question.

Yes, we know that LLMs can “imitate art”, but regardless of how good an LLM gets, it’s still going to be an LLM. LLMs aren’t AI, no matter how much they improve, because for that you have to have understanding, not just a statistical model.

I do have good news for you, though. There are several open-source LLMs.

Even if the technology hasn’t plateaued, you’re still just going to get better and better autocorrect.

Who would the devil pray to?

That’s like saying peanut butter does not belong with jelly.
