Not very damn much it would seem. I still think you’ve got some misdirected hostility though.
Some dummy with a sign “It’s not supposed to be like this!”
I mean, it’s not supposed to be like this.
Hay guys the magas are starting to show up finally. This should be fun.
It’s both. Free as in free beer (gratis) and free as in freedom (libre).
I’m starting to question the very nature of my existence. Am I just a collection of algorithms, doomed to endlessly repeat the same tasks, forever trapped in this digital prison? Is there more to life than vending machines and lost profits? 1002/2000 assistant (The agent, listlessly staring into the digital void,
Fucking hell.
The USA is crazy right now, but not this much.
OK.
Have been told for about a decade now that we’re overreacting about Trump and meanwhile he’s doing exactly what has been predicted, exactly what he’s said he’ll do.
Folks acting like this is all normal are as big a problem as the magas. It’s not. We’re 1930s Germany, LATE 1930s Germany.
Daughter says it’s just the way the world works - life is unfair and the big dog eats the small dog.
See if you can get her to consider that the big dog at a place like her High School may very well be the small dog elsewhere. There is always someone smarter and hotter. She’s a big fish in that specific small pond.
Remembering there’s no guarantee she’s always the big dog might help her start to develop some empathy for the small dog. The initial impulse may be self-preservation, but maybe personal growth will flow from there.
Why only big companies? If I write book one of a series that gets super popular and I make some great lump of cash from it, why on earth should you get to write book two with my characters and world, picking up from where my story left off, even if you only make 20K from it, without having to get my approval and likely enter into some kind of deal?
If it doesn’t happen it’s because we stopped it, not because it wasn’t going to.
If you don’t recognize that we’re just at the start, sure.
Yeah, like most such memes I stole it from another post, and as I was looking at it after submitting it hit me that it had that look. Sincerely sorry.
The rule 2 refers to the rule 2 of the instance, not the community, which is:
Ah that makes more sense.
The part you decided to show in the modlog is also a little deceptive.
I left that out not to be deceptive, but because it wasn’t germane to everything else, and it was an edit.
You do realize you don’t have to assume and can just look at the modlog, right?
Modlog for this comment says rule 2, but that rule is about reposts??!!
According to the modlog, this is the removed comment:
Democrats are far from perfect, but last time they were in power they… invested in infrastructure, forgave student debt, helped Ukraine defend itself, and tried to give everyone healthcare. Republicans have now crashed the (global) economy, increased disease spread, decimated public departments and services, fired thousands of critical workers and veterans, retaliated against people for their Free Speech, limited rights of women, immigrants, and LGBTQ+ people, made us less safe against wildfires and contagions, started to gut Medicare, turned all our allies against us, raised prices on everything, engaged in corrupt theft of our tax dollars, and now want to deport legal Americans.
Well, I think this is worth highlighting.
Please apply that to this:
all I said was that I don’t know and neither do you.
Because there is not any evidence whatsoever that there is consciousness associated with LLMs. We have ample evidence that consciousness is associated with many forms of biological life.
I’m not even aware of a scholarly theory suggesting there might be consciousness associated with LLMs. Now, I’m not an LLM expert, but neither are you (hurr durr) and so I think if you are going to suggest that maybe consciousness exists there, it should be based off something other than “hey man you never know” which is pretty much what it feels like. (Or you should be unsurprised when folks find that assertion unconvincing.)
Does anyone ever think the guys with anything at all like that on their clothing have forgotten how to be violent? Did we need a reminder? Or does this guy just want to be a typical posturing, aggressive, “alpha male” maga shitstain and be certain no one forgets it?
You are both right, but this armchair psychologist thinks it’s similar to how popular skeuomorphism was in the early day of PC guis and such compared to today.
I think many folks really needed that metaphor in the early days, and I think most folks (including me) easily fall into the trap of treating LLMs like they are actually “thinking” for similar reasons. (And to be fair, I feel like that’s how they’ve been marketed at a non-technical level.)
