Call that peer reviewed diagnosis

Rewording a description of what an LLM is and saying brains are just like that is still saying that brains work like LLMs, even if you didn’t use those exact words. The acknowledgment that neurologists do not find evidence to support that is pretty much all that is necessary to tear that down, no matter how many times you repeat it.

Let me know when you find a neurologist that says brains are just like LLMs.

I’m currently working on a degree in a moderately research/writing heavy major, and I don’t use it at all. The things I’m researching are too niche, I don’t want my writing edited to be less interesting, and school policy prohibits it for anything but brainstorming ideas. Which, I already know what I’m interested in, I don’t need it to tell me that even if it could.

I have straight A’s and no intention of changing how I (don’t) use AI.

Okay, but like… that’s all we are too.

Whoever told you that was lying to you or misinformed. Neuroscientists do not look at the brain as a probabilistic prediction tool. You are not a database with weights, you’re a human being with experiences, emotions, and thoughts.

The one that will make everyone happy :D

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that both are in California. Can’t wait for The Event.

Not unless you can find some people that believe Starfleet Academy is a real place and just skip right over all the times the paper literally overtly states it’s made up.

It is if you add alt text, which makes the internet more accessible for everyone 👍

So they have the power to run a smear campaign that would alter society’s opinion on AI—which is so very useful and everyone would love it otherwise—but they don’t have the power to influence the building of billions of dollars of infrastructure to power these data centers?

The people pushing this are the people that benefit from the general populace being dumb as shit. That’s why they’re pushing it. AI doesn’t make anyone more informed or intelligent, it’s an echo chamber.

You could have just gone to the page without asking daddy Copilot how to do it 🤷‍♂️

Guys trying to shove AI into everything: oh nooo, pleeeaaase don’t use our product, we would haaaate it if you did that!

Worst conspiracy ever.

If AI is just like a video data center, why did data center energy usage stay stable before AI? Why has data center energy usage doubled since 2010 if videos and AI are equivalent in energy usage?

You do not have access to a secret LLM that doesn’t introduce errors. You either don’t notice them or dismiss them.

I liked the way Leslie Feinberg put it:

I care which pronoun is used, but people have been respectful to me with the wrong pronoun and disrespectful with the right one. It matters whether someone is using the pronoun as a bigot, or if they are trying to demonstrate respect.

Ouroboros gender

Left front: phone

Right front: keys, change, sometimes earplugs

Right butt: wallet

Anything else I need is in my backpack.

Getting stung on your arm or leg will give you a core memory

Can confirm the hell out of this.

I wonder at which point ‘where did I leave my eggs?’ becomes a greater evolutionary pressure than ‘I need to hide my eggs’, because I’m assuming cassowaries haven’t had to worry about the latter for a while!
