I am desperately trying to find a reason to feel threatened by someone voluntarily calling themselves "catturd."

I'm so excited about this one man. Gonna go listen immediately!

The wealthy invent problems so they don't have to admit they don't really have any meaningful ones

Fair. For me it's more something I'm interested in doing, but I'm unsure I could convey the value nowadays.
As a dev I've seen the results of "AI development" for devs who used to be skilled and code that used to be good.
I'm trying to make a solution, 'cause right now it's a fucking problem

"We'll fight like hell" is a lot less impressive when their hell seems to be passive, fearful compliance.

Democrats seem to be doing a whole lot of submitting for people who aren't going to submit.
The wealthy enabled Hitler, despite thinking he was crass, liberal and conservative alike.
History repeats itself endlessly, and this dance is playing out beat for beat again.

Oh my God, I'm so excited! I love his work, I'm so stoked that he'll be on your show! He's one of the few "tech influencers" or whatever who actually knows what the fuck he's talking about.

"Because I completely trust AI researchers who definitely have no vested interest in convincing people that we're working with AI and not a Markov's Chain algorithm with a tarp thrown on it."

This is an absolutely inbred take of absurd proportions. "Code is like an automobile!" Yeah, man, and books are basically boilers, right?

It's not great at improving your productivity unless you're completely unbothered by making shit everyone else's problem and making your applications garbage.
It is great at wasting your fucking time on debugging almost-right bullshit and getting managers to tell you using it will make your job easy

As a developer, that one made me sad.
That "improving code" is on there has me asking how many developers are genuinely divinely uninspired. I am in awe of that lack of skill

Oh that's an interview question?
If you're explaining your question, you're fishing for an answer, and you're a bad fucking interviewer.
What did they do, have ChatGPT write their fucking questions?

Not only that but your infotainment literally reduces the prefrontal cortex to the Broca's and Wernicke's areas. Which is hilariously stupid, even if you are stupid enough to accept it

Bruv, have you read their papers? I have. Their proof is manipulative, overstated nonsense when you look at the actual data.
I could make an infotainment graphic declaring myself God-emperor of the fucking moon, but it still wouldn't be true.

No, thank you, I don't want to live in that dystopia, thank you very much.

"It's not environmentally bad because a single query doesn't kill us all?"
This is a child's understanding of damage and scale.
Show me on the furry doll where genAI pleasured you. 'Cause I'm pretty sure you're just pissed someone told you your art you didn't draw of your fursona you copied sucks.

Most of the time to get that "super ripped" look actually requires an incredibly unhealthy level of dehydration that bodybuilders and actors maintain for a short time during shoots/events but even that causes severe harm to your body.
It's a fundamentally unhealthy look.

Calling that "behaving like the human brain" is press release horseshit. AI researchers are unreliable narrators because they naturally anthropomorphize their tools, same as anyone. Unlike the rest of us, their tools directly revolve around our traditional ways of evidencing internal thought.

That's the thing; it can't. It can associate things based on a complex system of weights and biases that is, nonetheless, a probabilistic computation. That's literally the extent of its abilities. No comprehension is possible. You aren't aware of the mechanics but I don't need to humor you.
comment in response to
post
Oh, so your point is that someone steeped in cultural circles heavily motivated to believe "AI" is a far along as possible has decided that the ability to procedurally associate words based on the probability of a sequence of tokens is the same as consciousness?

Then what in the blazing fuck is your point, man?

If we were anywhere close to actual AI, sure.
What we have instead is a tool for emulating the most outward signs of intelligence through probabilistic association. Honest to God, it's no closer to AI than clippy was. It's just bigger.

But they aren't making the assertion that we're at AGI. They're making the assertion that it could feel pain if we made it.
The reality is also that AI researchers are incredibly unreliable narrators in their own stories. They're working with a tool used to emulate the outward signs of intelligence

He's just some idiot AI moron who just doesn't understand motivated reasoning or the temptation to anthropomorphize our tools and how that interacts with the stupid human brain wheen tools employ language imitation.

Humoring this question as anything more than profoundly ignorant nonsense is a fucking embarrassing thing to do.

Jesus fucking banana hammocked Christ.
These people are so fucking pathetic and it's embarrassing.
It's a goddamn predictive algorithm! Associative Procedural Engines can't think, feel, dream or hope or wonder, they are pure I/O machines and this culture of credulity for nonsense is exhausting.

Also APE is intentional as it adds the further reference to the reality that this technology is "aping" the appearance of thought.

Welcome to the brain rot that is VC driven economies.
Just because something doesn't work doesn't mean it's not incredibly profitable to talk about it like it's the best thing to ever happen to the world.

It's my personal crusade.
"AI" is a nothing term, now. "LLM" is like calling an ocean liner a "propeller box." "Transformer" makes me think of Optimus Prime.
"Associative Procedural Engine" is descriptive of its mechanics and process. Plus it hits less algorithmic suppression when I'm critical.
