It was a damn good lunch though, garlic mashed potatoes, chicken apple sausages, and baked acorn squash with honey and balsamic.

A system that produces language but has no capacity for semantic understanding can never be an intelligent system.

I cannot stress this enough, LLMs don't use human language! They identify patterns and string words together. That's not how language works. That's not how cognition works. Calling it generative doesn't actually make it generative.

I really don't understand what the y axis is supposed to be here since that doesn't seem to reflect anything they report. This graph isn't in the paper btw. No idea where it actually came from. Possibly this guy just had ChatGPT make it up.

Also, let's look at the distribution on this graph. I'm seeing that women were much more variable than men. Men are skewed right. That doesn't tell me women are "woker" than men. That tells me men are more homogeneous in their beliefs. But it's difficult to tell what this is actually showing since..

It's also just kind of a mess of a study. Initially they were using a survey with 23 items, they only included 14. They were looking for a link btwn progressive views on race & gender and anxiety & depression.

Wow, people who recognize inequality less happy than people who ignore it 😱...
