It's Extra Life Game Day! I'll be going live roughly an hour and a half from now with my annual 24 hour charity stream, raising money for my local children's hospital.
Come drop by, say hi, watch me suffer, and maybe even donate to a good cause.

I got an actual "Your silence on this subject is deafening" message this AM, so, super-quick: Nobody here owes anyone commentary about anything. This is a public park. It's full of interesting people. We hang out here, make friends, and chat, and then we leave to do whatever it is we do. That's it!

I saw one proposal that ended with "[AI of the week] can make mistakes. Please double-check responses."
If you can't even bother to edit your own generated talk proposal, how much effort will you put into the talk itself?

This crosses my mind every time I see a breathless article about LLMs "developing survival instincts" or "resisting being shut off" or "blackmailing their operator"
That's not how this works. It's not how any of it works.

I cannot tell you how many tech journalists at prominent media organizations do not understand this
Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

i didn't fight in the Wikipedia MOS:DASH wars just to start using hyphens in place of em dashes
"but I use that and I'm not an LLM" - I don't care. Also you have to start using hyphens even when you mean to use an em dash
"it isn't just X—it's Y" is by far the most annoying ChatGPTism

Societies that condone genocide, that laugh about torture, that dance to songs about burning people’s homes and villages—these are sick societies that are rotting from the inside out. We have seen them before in history, and we see them still now.

At first the Discord hack didn’t seem that bad because it was initially the third party help desk.
But then you find out they had got there age verification data. Come to find out they got 1.5 TB of government id and age verification data. This is going to become a case against age verification.

AI is a huge blanket term that covers so much more than most people think of when they hear AI. So often I see it used as a single definitive thing when they actually mean one specific type of AI.
I can't take "let's use AI to do X" seriously, as there is no vision as to what you want to do.

AI is such a useless buzzword now. If you say you're using AI you just get more money. I know a ton of people who have to tell investors and the like that they're using AI to close deals, then just don't use it once they're actually working. It really is just suits that talk about it.

You know about Pavlov's bell.
Pavlov grabbed some dogs, rang a bell before feeding them, and eventually the dogs started to salivate when the bell rang, regardless of whether they were given food or not.
Now, let's say you studied the brain activity of those dogs. 🧵
