When Carl Sagan used to talk about "billions and billions", he wasn't talking about the number of dollars owned by individual humans

I’m sure I’m gonna get dragged for this, but I think AI is bad. AI has completely ruined Google search and it’s created a lot more slop that needs to be avoided on the Internet.

I'm still mad about the Senate folding like that.
The average voter will forget about this but I'm planning to donate to some primary challengers to these 8 Senators in 4-6 years

as a computer scientist, i am BEGGING people to realize that there is no cognition inside of an LLM
no reasoning, no thought process, no self-awareness
I read a lot of arguments (for AND against) LLMs, and both sides seem to think there’s a consciousness or intentionality or even a moral alignment

As any local will tell you, the best advice for tourists visiting NYC is to please GET OUT OF THE WAY.
Please do not stop for any reason on the street or in the subway unless people can get around you. Just be aware that there's a crowd of people behind you and we have places to be

Saying it again:
Computers do not and can not "think".
They fundamentally don't work like that and never will.
I'm so tired of reading so many articles hyping this nonsense.
The degree to which so many smart people have bought into the AI hype is unbelievable

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.

Too bad the GOP effectively criminalized studying how information moves online and news orgs laid off and demonized all the reporters who covered the burgeoning online accelerationist performative death cults. All of that work was somehow "censorship" that needed to be stopped. Now we're here.
