Social media can be genuinely good for society if it's meant to be engaged with sparingly and with lots of exit points. But that doesn't give all the money and control to the owners, so that largely doesn't happen, and regulations are far too lenient in this respect.

This is why we need to remove the profit motive from social media ASAP. As long as screen time/engagement = money, they will have no incentive to design a service that *isn't* addictive, or actively pushy in making you use it past the point it's fulfilling.

well, efficient training doesn't necessarily mean prompts take less time to process, this is just about the initial making of the model. that said, yes, we need to rethink the entire internet now that cheap bullshit generators are now even more ubiquitous

At my job I saw someone ask ChatGPT for a question about consumer protection law, and it gave a very confident answer that I now suspect was complete nonsense. The company went with it without even double-checking anything! It's insane that people are willing to trust it to make major decisions now.

I feel really sorry for the people whose job it will be to clean up the insane amount of misinformation LLMs are generating either delibarately or because people have been conditioned to uncritically trust this technology.

yeah, basically. investors only put money in "AI" because it's the "future" (and because it's a longshot gamble at making the working class obsolete). They don't know (nor care) about the actual details or limitations of the technology they're pouring their money into

I once had the displeasure to see some slides meant to be used in a presentation for climate investors, and (alongside AI-generated slop) it proceeded to explain that even though LLMs are actively holding back the energy transition, at least it will probably "fix" climate change when we get AGI lol

valuations mean literally nothing and the fact that the press throw it around like they do should be considered disinformation

on the other hand i'm afraid that at this point the mass disinformation/plagiarism machine is completely out of the bag, and i'm not sure how our already extremely polluted information ecosystem is going to deal with that

people need to hear this so bad! honestly wish we removed practically all "engagement" features. we think like buttons are normal, but Facebook got a decent amount of backlash for introducing it in the Before Times. maybe we shouldn't turn social media into yet another paperclip maximizing machine

#lexember #conlang DAY 9
ZENKEN VAEMO
verb
to be stubborn, convicted, incorruptible
literally "carry steel's spirit/concept"
If you rember day 6, I told you about "neutral n". "zenken" looks like it should use it, but doesn't. This is because it's a compound of "zen" (steel) and "ken" (concept)

#lexember #conlang day 8

Breaks are a luxury at (this) job.

However, when two letters in a cluster have the same place of articulation, it's kind of redundant to mark it twice, and nasal assimilation in clusters is very common (nt, mb, ŋk etc.), so the neutral n developed to make it a little quicker to write.
comment in response to
post
While the letterforms have shifted and have been stylized over time, they still share common features depending on place of articulation. "n" and "t" have that c-like shape, for example.

Long story short, Astelkei was originally a featural system that was inspired by a similar script that came to be adopted during a major societal upheaval by the country that occupied the area this language was spoken in, to increase literacy.

This is the first time you're seeing the "neutral n". It's that vertical line. It's letter used to spell nasal sounds before consonants of the same place of articulation.

correct!

Now that you've seen the script a couple times, any guesses on how it works? (It's not too complicated)

Esperanto estas vere mojosa! Mi scias, ke ĝi ne estas la perfekta tutmonda lingvo, sed mi ekamis la historion kaj kulturon. Ĝi sentas preskaŭ kiel io inter natura kaj planlingvo. Mi esperas iam Esperanto iĝos la komunan lingvon en Eŭropo, se nenie alie. Pli bona ol la angla...

Specific dova are often used as a frame of reference, like we way "the late 20th century" or Japanese people say "the Heisei era".
comment in response to
post
This one needs a bit of context: The most commonly used calendar system in this world groups years into 36-year cycles called "dova", so the year 380 would be written as the 11th Dova, Year 20 or 11/20 (there's no dova 0, just like there's no year 0).

Dankon! Mi loĝas en Hungario, kie (relative) malmultaj parolas la anglan kaj ni havas (denove, relative) granda Esperanto-komunumon, sed mi parolas ankaŭ la hungaran, mdr
Supozas ke mi bare devus renkonti pli da Esperantistojn en la reto, kaj mia Esperanton boniĝos
