They have ZERO incentive to tell users they’re just using a really good auto complete.

Which makes perfect sense if the goal is to fool users into increase engagement with the model. The goal is making you feel attached to them and that it’s a magical being. Not an auto complete that’s really really effing good at it.

The other day I heard something amazing to me. At least some LLMs don’t actually remember you *at all*. They just have all the prompt info stored and you’re sending an updated longer and longer prompt to them as you’re in a “conversation” with it. You don’t see that though.

How long until Grandpa threatens Greenland again?
3 days maybe?
They gotta get Fox to make some Trump-praising specials to distract him. It’ll make all of our lives better I think.

Well, Republicans pick Republicans for obvious reasons.
Democrats pick- usually - moderate Rs because ostensibly the person who leads the FBI is simply…enforcing laws and often, LE lean R even before recent times.
Ds want to appear to govern everyone and picking a competent R appeals to them.

My problem is around materials and energy even assuming you can truly tackle design and ai.
The green transition often runs into material and electrical grid/generation issues.
If we’re talking millions of robots- all need batteries and energy and to be built and maintained…
I get very dubious.

First you have to believe him.
Like how many people really believe he’s gonna make an army of robots?
Besides fanbois and people pumping his stock and the investors dreaming of MOAR MONEY.
I think a majority of folks know he’s full of crap.

The more power you have the easier it is to behave corruptly too. Just a tiny little nibble. Everyone does it! We’re all on the same team.
Have a dinner. A trip. A stay at my cabin. I promise this data center I’m opening will help the population get good jobs. Just need that tax break.

To be competitive and caught up when they can never be because someone’s always pushing the perceived envelope.
But it’s all still trying to extract money and power from a world that’s meanwhile stuck in physical limitations. Which are hard limits.
A conundrum and contradiction.

A person will trend toward like people who will reinforce each other’s behaviors. Until or unless they are forced by circumstance to do something different.

It’s depressing that these are the options as we hope to somehow stop the Trump agenda and look forward to a long period of rebuilding government and its functions and the stupid Senate designed to moderate and cool things down is a major obstacle thanks to *everything*.

Come on, Janet Mills is only
*looks up age*
Wrf it’s a 6 year term starting next year, people!
And it’s “good news” she’s the front runner because if nothing else I feel sure she’s not in any way a Nazi.
She just has to be fully capable of being a US Senator until she’s 85.

I do not trust anyone who has a vested interest in AI succeeding to be an honest reporter.
We as a culture and society have decimated institutions that would hold power to account. Access journalism makes reporters reluctant at best to do so.
“Magic thing does magic” - oldest con there is.

Eff every single politician and Supreme Court Justice that has pushed this along to where we are now.
They do not deserve our esteem or admiration. They are pathetic, just seeking easy tax revenue without actually raising taxes for everyone. Justifying it by saying addicts did it to themselves.

We went from hustle culture to YOLO, eff it, I’m all in culture.
And the people “in charge” love it because they’re riding the crest of the wave, leaving bag holders in their wake. Extracting huge amounts of cash from desperation.

I might have said “psychically incapable” because it’s technically probably more correct. I’m feeling pendantic this morning.

No, maybe we need to give fossil fuel companies one more chance to prove they have an ounce of morality left and aren’t just focused on making themselves as wealthy as possible, the planet and people be damned (other than making sure we always have to pay them money to live our lives/get energy).
