being an ML/AI girlie right now is like if you were a marine biologist and suddenly everyone is obsessed with octopi and asking questions like "should we give octopi jobs and make them in charge". and you're like. well. here's why that's not as bad as that sounds

BAGGER: (spilling my groceries on the floor) Oh God. I'm so sorry. This isn't what I'm supposed to do. ME: How are you supposed to do it? MANAGER: She means she was gonna be a fox. In the woods and shit. But something happened and she got stuck. BAGGER: (crying) Got so stuck.

if you keep telling the language machine that the fictional character it is creating has agency and can make decisions on its own, it will act as such. and then things get weird

if your reason for acting morally is how it makes you personally feel, there is perhaps the concerning problem of "what if it DIDN'T make you feel bad to be mean, should you still act Good then". philosophers have never tackled this question before

Turns out when you direct the universal function approximator to predict the encoded outputs of human minds at the scale of 'the entire human corpus' the resulting network has to get mind-shaped internally to succeed well at the task

when i was younger i read God’s Debris by Scott Adams and the effect it had on me was a shrug and “that’s neat”. anyways i hope that the muted resignation to his life and death inspired other far right commentators thinking of their own mortality to take a pause

A vast Maginot line was built specifically to defend against models that simulate fan art or write college essays. Now “Claude Code” has crossed the border from a different angle. But what even is CC? The same kind of thing? Not easy to try on the web, so who knows? The Maginot guns are silent.
