His Dark Materials: what if your mom was the god damned Terminator? And like, Sarah Connor Chronicles Garbage lady Shirley Manson terminator. And she doesnt wanna kill you, but she will love you to death

the rent-seeking industry wants to tell you about their big new idea (it's more rent-seeking)

“Why arent they calling the cops to save us from the cops!” Yall are dumb as hell

I am once again reminding yall that the future we want and could actually have isnt the scifi nonsense of space colonization. Its that we could all be disney princesses having our days filled with fun interactions with wildlife. But nooooo yall wanna put more computers in everything for no reason

Explaining why "say her name" is not for white people is not divisive. What's divisive is continuing to do it and self righteously talk over your comrades and allies even when they patiently try to explain to you why it's hurtful and harmful.

I’m kind of over the whole “America is bad, at least my country is good” as if the rise of a xenophobic right wing isn’t a broadly Western problem and every country tut-tutting about the US’s fall doesn’t have a failing neoliberal order constantly in tug-of-war with The Racism Party

I see a plot with like 4 data points and you just slapped a curve on it. Why did you do that? Yay, you made a function...what does it mean? You suggest this polynomial fully describes the problem from 4 data points? Or do you just think it makes the plot look more 'science-y'?

It makes as much sense as claiming that copying or reformatting a text document is accomplished by the computer reading it and writing it back down - even if you put 'reading' and 'writing' in bullshit qualifying scare quotes, it's a complete misrepresentation of what's going on

Man wasnt lying when he said he could get away with shooting someone in the middle of 5th ave. Its not even him, just his goons, and they are running a full disinfo campaign

An in vitro platform for studying human embryo implantation. This looks like it could be a pretty big deal, if indeed it's a good model. www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...?

The people who get protected by the designation of whiteness is a fungible group. It is easily rescinded.

Further evidence that when one group is persecuted and denied their civil rights, all of us are denied our civil rights. Because they will eventually use those tactics on everyone. This stuff has been used against minorities since before Jim Crow…

You're denying them their agency. They haven't been tricked. The US has a long history of white people rejecting policies they know would benefit them if they believe Those People also will benefit. They are willing to suffer so long as the people they fear and hate suffer more.

I will never forgive the “tech“ sector for this

This is a bit right? A lie? April fools early? Surely microsoft isnt renaming office to the copilot app? Someone tell me I am misunderstanding something www.office.com

This is what happens when you think statistics is magic because powerful computer do big calculation. A solution in search of a problem in tech just keeps leading back to phrenology/eugenics cuz these mfs cant make this shit work. We wanted to end human toil not whatever the fuck this is.

It simply cannot be us. One of us became president and its been a twenty year crashout. Another tried and yall have more smoke for her than all the white men doing the actual dirt and now we are about to fucking invade GREENLAND like can yall open your eyes for a single minute

Not enough of the people without melanin are mad enough for things to change.

“Ai has actually made me soooo productive I have finished so many projects in a couple hours that would have taken days” Yea and I have a girlfriend but you just havent met her because she goes to a different school. In another state. I swear!

What we actually need to do is invade England and liberate them from that food

Oh we are doing “Sinners is overrated” now? Contrarianism is a disease

So many excellent uses for all this generative AI….

Francis Lawrence is gonna fuck us UP with Sunrise on the Reaping after this istg its gonna be BAD

The Long Walk. Damn.

b)Many of the 'suggested use cases' rest on another false premise: That is actually WORKS. An LLM hallucinates by design. Using it to keep track of characters and places in a long series 100% guarantees you will end up using false information, because (deep breath) IT DOESN'T ACTUALLY WORK.

It is that community which made - makes - us 'fit,' in evolutionary terms. The fact that we will pack bond with the roomba and apologize and feel bad when we accidentally kick it? That's us. That's the most human you can be.

When you computer nerds get math to eat some shit you can come back to me. Because how the hell are you supposed to turn the universe into paperclips if you cant even do that. So. Dumb.

White blood cell going hunting. Studying the immune system put the final nail in the coffin of any Ai “beliefs” I had left. Its batshit to think a language model is or is going to lead to general intelligence, and no machine learning system is doing any of this either youtu.be/Z_mXDvZQ6dU?...

I was like damn this season of stranger things is exposition dumpy as hell whats going on. And then I start seeing the discourse. People literally cant even parse the exposition dump scenes correctly. What the hell is goin on

Watching the Byler shippers lose their shit is pretty funny I cant lie. Nice lesson in not letting headcannon get the better of you

"they will be, one day" 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.

“The 80s werent that progressive!” Its a show with monsters and psychic children shut the fuck up and let the characters be less of a bunch of assholes cuz we live in awful times. We “need“ that shit like we need explicit scenes of sexual assault screw your goddamn accuracy

Need a joy injection from witnessing some wide eyed wonder? Take your mother in-law, who lives (and has BEEN living) in a small town, to a Wegmans. She will tell everyone about cart escalators for dayyysss she was so tickled

Its still all over tiktok as well. Especially clips from the segment

This podcast series about what happened to reading is pissing me off real good. “3-queueing“ is for using context to find the meaning of unfamiliar words AFTER you learn how to convert the visual symbols into the auditory language we learn first as children. How tf did this spread?

A dumbass sex-trafficking pedophile nazi rapist narcissist is still better than letting the blacks back in office tho amirite? Much better to let him have all this power, cuz she didnt earn my vote

I’m gonna make “Trying to Bari a Story” a thing or die trying.

Im reaching “Pull up in front of the K-Mart and let's bang out. I throw my life away, you throw your life away, right now. I hate you nigga, lets die” levels of disdain for the “leaders” of the tech industry

😂

Semantics. It is ALL programming. Machines neither learn or have intelligence.

Bruh we are watching The Santa Clause cuz a friend has never seen it and we all just realized for the first time that this man took his kid and disappeared for a whole ass month. The pacing and cuts and the fact that hes looking like santa had us thinking he took charlie for a short time for YEARS

“Everything is just information, and we are the masters of information, therefore we are masters of everything!” Techbro logic

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: bsky.app/profile/kh0r... Out here drawing pictures saying its indistinguishable from a meal 🙄

Feminism? Pssshh. What about the men? How come all of yall look fantastic in the glasses with the bigass frames but I look ridiculous? Wheres the equality in that? I want those glasses

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 has got to be one of the most satisfying things to do to dipshits on the internet

Well, all of the reply guys on the internet are part of its training material, so I’m not surprised it makes up sources.

Sometimes I forget how goddamn big ravens can be. Just saw one near a squirrel and he looked like he could have picked that thang up and flew off with it easy
