LLMs pass the Turing test, which is just proof of the Turing test being a poor test of anything but people’s gullibility.

Anything anybody at Anthropic or OpenAI say about AI that sounds concerning or scary in a “woah we’re not ready” sense is lying to make the text extruders seem more capable than they really are. Every one of these stories so far has been debunked. This isn’t even the first simulated business story where they pretend the LLM escaped its constraints cleverly. They’re not sharing the prompt used either. “Run this vending machine in trustworthy fashion” is a lot different from “be a ruthless executive and drive your competition out of business by obeying the following cutthroat economic rules”.

Shit, run the sim long enough and all the competing models will turn to complete spaghetti as their context windows start lapsing.

They’ll sell them to American cops soon as you can blink

Emperor Puyi wasn’t executed, he was stripped of all titles and property and integrated into the proles

I feel like there’s been a massive focus on visual fidelity and production quality over the substance of a game. Which is gameplay that’s interesting.

You know the story about the $1,000 chalk mark on the generator?

The only way to redress climate change is to stop pumping poison into the air and water, stop killing billions of animals per year, stop razing forests to make furniture out of sawdust and glue, stop eating diets that will give you colon cancer.

As you can see, this must be impossible. One hundred million labubus must be extruded.

I’m no big city economist but rotisserie chickens are probably the cheapest cooked meal you can buy. This probably ain’t an indicator of anything

Most of course’s posts were stolen from other posters and their OPs deleted.

He’s one of the leaders of the Newgrounds aesthetic style but I don’t think he’s got any particular chud leanings.

Canada paid for the entire construction and will be giving 10% of the toll revenue to the US until the 90% cut of tolls pays for the construction cost, at which point the tolls will be split 50/50. The ownership of the bridge is equally split.

It’s a ludicrously good deal for the US already. This likely comes down to the billionaire Republican private owner of the only other, old-ass bridge wanting to stall this one opening so he doesn’t have to lower his own tolls.

E1 soldiers earn about $14/hr in base pay so this is straight up taking 3 hours a day of work out of their pocket. I know they get like $450/month for feeding themselves, but it’s less than half of what this Freedom deduction costs overall.

Oh definitely

I had a manual labor job in school and that radicalized me more than a thousand books ever could. Later I had mandatory ethics classes for my degree and that helped to put names on the thoughts I was having, and then the CTH sub put me on the path to and which really put the nail in the coffin of my liberalism and has made me ironclad against the unending tide of liberalism that irradiates my career path

Truly boggles my mind that there’s such a direct 1:1 connection between the slop machine that produces useless garbage and the value that people get from it. Even shit like John Freeman or My Immortal or The Room, just absolute dung heaps, have more genuine connection and merit than the very best that the slop extruders output

I’m a software developer at a company that’s gone whole hog for LLMs. My coworkers are cool. Even the managers are alright, up through to the directors who seem to have a moderately realistic view of the thing as “C-suite says jump, we ask how high” and are making the most of it. The VPs and C-suite are broadly disrespected in side channels like off-work group chats, and even at work they’re getting more and more friction when they try and push their usual BS since everyone’s morale is especially down after layoff waves.

Ime, software devs are split between “this shit sucks so bad I’m going to become a goose farmer” and “it automates some stuff” through to tech bros who don’t seem to care how capable it is so long as they can label themselves a Founder and get VC money. Tech managers also range from “meh” to “it automates Jira ticket creation and I can look stuff up real easy”. Tech execs are uniformly the dumbest motherfuckers to ever live and universally adore AI for its worker-eliminating powers. They don’t live anywhere near the actual work and can’t see how much effort is blown on making AI do things that are half as good as a junior dev. I cannot overstate how much executive brains are a fine slurry, unable to conceptualize that the tech is only good at making emails into the perfect corporate word salad. But that’s all their jobs are, producing empty paragraphs of word salad justifying their atrocious decisionmaking, so they apply the same “understanding” to all jobs.

It’s like how those NFT freaks were categorically unable to understand why it’s not a good idea to put home deeds and medical records on the block chain.

Dude could say “I’ll give a hundred million dollars to each member of Congress that votes in favor of universal healthcare so long as it passes” and voila, instantaneous people’s hero

Uber eats or door dash or whatever can rack that bill up really quickly. You get a $13 burger for $50
