Predictive text won’t write a book for you. Nobody has developed psychosis from using a search engine.

Your argument is reductive, like seeing somebody panicking because a hurricane is coming and responding with “What’s the big deal? It’s just a rainstorm!”

Not quite. They’re both Satanic churches. TST is more activist and fights for the rights of Satanists in court.

There’s a good breakdown of the differences here.

To start with, we don’t believe in Satan.

Neither does the Church of Satan, to be fair.

The “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” mentality.

AI once again taking jobs from human workers smh

It’s like those arguments over whether or not it’s okay to punch Nazis. The people who were arguing about it were never going to punch any Nazis in the first place.

Somehow, I don’t think that would fly with the purity police who are behind this stuff.

There are two kinds of people: those who want to remove the boot from the neck and those who want to be the one wearing the boot.

This is not a MAGA thing. This is an oligarch thing. Remember that the NSA stuff that Snowden revealed was during the Obama adminstration.

It’s not insane. It’s advanced!

No, it should be a flaming trash bin.

Intelligence is ineffable! It’s something that only humans possess! It’s what makes us different from the other animals!

Also, we’ve recreated it in computer form. Now give us lots of money.

The Walmart logo is one of those. I think you may be onto something here!

Why should I literally care?

It doesn’t matter how fast it is if the answer is wrong, and it does seem to be wrong an awful lot. I will check their citations to see if they back up their output, and many times they do not.

Jesus should we go back to having to type in the specific web address to find everything !?

Uh, no? Just use a search engine? You remember those, right?

Oh, of course. It’s all lowest-common-denominator, mediocre bullshit. If they could come up with something unique, that would be actual intelligence.

If you want to test this out, try asking for “novel” or “unusual” output. It’s still derivative, but perhaps just a little bit less derivative than standard output.

The wording also struck a nerve because many AI models were trained on enormous amounts of publicly available internet data such as books, articles, forums and creative work created by millions of people who were never directly compensated.

That’s much too kind. We were never indirectly compensated, either.

every competent worker involved in complex projects hates it and only uses it for trivial things, like generating an email response, which you then have to read anyway so you might as well type it yourself in the first place.

Hard disagree. Reading bullshit is painful, but writing it is torture.

Presentation is huge, at least for me. The thing that pulled me over to the Linux side was people posting screenshots of their tricked-out desktops with cooling-looking terminals. It made learning the terminal look fun, not intimidating.

Until you get to Mambino, the boss of bosses!
