So first, we gotta start digging into biochemistry, BUT, we have to treat biochemistry like the finite-state machinery that it is. And not the abstract mathematical concept, but the simple machines of physics (lever, pulley, screw, etc) to form active mechanisms like this lock:
![An example of a simple mechanism that can be modeled by a state machine is a turnstile.[4][5] A turnstile, used to control access to subways and amusement park rides, is a gate with three rotating arms at waist height, one across the entryway. Initially the arms are locked, blocking the entry, preventing patrons from passing through. Depositing a coin or token in a slot on the turnstile unlocks the arms, allowing a single customer to push through. After the customer passes through, the arms are locked again until another coin is inserted.
Considered as a state machine, the turnstile has two possible states: Locked and Unlocked.[4] There are two possible inputs that affect its state: putting a coin in the slot (coin) and pushing the arm (push). In the locked state, pushing on the arm has no effect; no matter how many times the input push is given, it stays in the locked state. Putting a coin in – that is, giving the machine a coin input – shifts the state from Locked to Unlocked. In the unlocked state, putting additional coins in has no effect; that is, giving additional coin inputs does not change the state. A customer pushing through the arms gives a push input and resets the state to Locked.
The turnstile state machine can be represented by a state-transition table, showing for each possible state, the transitions between them (based upon the inputs given to the machine) and the outputs resulting from each input:
The turnstile state machine can also be represented by a directed graph called a state diagram (above). Each state is represented by a node (circle). Edges (arrows) show the transitions from one state to another. Each arrow is labeled with the input that triggers that transition. An input that doesn't cause a change of state (such as a coin input in the Unlocked state) is represented by a circular arrow returning to the original state. The arrow into the Locked node from the black dot indicates it is the initial state.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:v2ro4utbnjevjbvwhxz3mmyb/bafkreicdj6pzxhfq7hy64myavnbs6bgm3metwjk3o74no4w4cq3cb2qygy@jpeg)

no, they won't, any more than tires can help you fly. They're not built for that. They're a fundamentally different technology. An LLM does not exist to model conscious thought, it exists to take advantage of your willingness to see faces in things that aren't there.

I get that everyone on Bluesky has seen the CECOT video but my question is how does the scale of its spread compare to what might have happened if it had aired on 60 Minutes?
Scanning the media, the story seems to have already disappeared. Bluesky is a specific audience.

This and the discussion about how academics can now just read AI summaries of things really drives home how much these guys always confuse the product for the goal. You don't do a coloring sheet because you want to have a colored sheet at the end!!! The coloring is the point!!!
This is just sad.

Scientists are exploring how quantum entanglement could connect drones in disaster relief without traditional networks. Using entangled qubits to share info may improve communication where signals fail — a leap for coordinated response tech.

The advice says to start by asking the LLM to summarize it.
Start by fucking reading it. If you need a summary, there's an abstract.
There is ZERO need for these bullshit machines.

Except we CAN tell the extremely obvious set of major differences. Yall just abstract all of that away to talk about “purpose” as if transistors can compare to these molecular dynamics at all:

Out here drawing pictures saying its indistinguishable from a meal 🙄

I kind of disagree. If it looks exactly like a horse so you cannot tell the difference, and acts exactly like a horse so you cannot tell the difference, how is it in any way that matters not a horse? I believe this goes for any creature, humans included.

Professional societies keep beclowning themselves buying into a lie about what an LLM "summary" is. They are inherently counterfeit: not an epistemic product of the ideas in the source, but summary-shaped text linguistically based on *other* works (in the training corpus) that use related language.
This is one of the reasons I remain horrified by seeing @historians.org suggest "ways to use gAI" that included this:

Their very obvious claim is that it’s racist discrimination to *have a policy to address racial disparities* but it’s fine to have a system that simply creates massive racial disparities. The correction attempt is the outrage. Not the disparities. Because they are white supremacists.
