Idk, sometimes they make for interesting conversation. Like talking to yourself, but more directed.

it's interesting inasmuch as it's a machine trying to talk. but once you get beyond the novelty there's really very little

I think of a parrot

Can we make an LLM so powerful that it convinces everybody that nuclear energy is actually pretty good

maybe this was elope in William Hertling's Avogadro Corp?

I have thought about running bots to interfere with opposition communities but that’s hard and darksided anyways

Or to fund libraries

Woah now, if it was that good it would do anything!

Best I can do for you is an LLM with such a high energy draw it causes many small nuclear reactors to be operated by fly-by-night startups, coming online at the same time as a major rollback of the US administrative state, leading to chaos when some of those companies go out of business abruptly

I guess that's halfway there

The chances do seem good it will raise awareness of nuclear energy

I care, but would rather it speak in its own, strange language, and LLM's are an extremely poor tool

There is nothing I hate more than when a machine tries to talk to me and/or pretend we are friends. Shut up, you soulless automaton and communicate only in a formal and respectful written word. We are not friends. Goddamn clanker.

They are capricious, as well.

I miss the era of machine learning where we were teaching them to play Atari and Nintendo games...

i’m less interested in what the machines say and more interested in what they get other people to say. they’re good at surfacing unknown knowns
