I mean, it can’t legally do that, but laws don’t matter anymore

Tbh it’s starting to look more like Altered Carbon, except the core tech is complete vaporware because eel-on-musk made it.

That, or CP2077.

Fear… and surprise!

It really is reaching tragicomedic levels.

And the text-to-speech voiceovers. I don’t know why I detest those so much, but for some reason it just sets my teeth on edge. Like nails on a chalkboard.

I’m baby

Remember Vine? I miss Vine.

Idk man my plex server is fine

Nah just fly your state flag

we were healthier when we had less tests and understood less about biology!

I see we’re taking a page out of Russia’s playbook on how they handled HIV/AIDS (stop recording and reporting metrics on it altogether) and applying it writ large. Wcgw.

I mean, trying to regulate technology at the speed of American politics was very obviously a nonsensical and futile proposition from the get-go.

But it doesn’t matter either way because the incoming admin is gonna rip it up and chuck it into a wood chipper within a couple of weeks.

Wow so I guess that’ll last all of 6 (or less, since he’s not actually done the thing yet) days

I wish, but I doubt it will be.

There are too many standards. Let’s make a new one so we can consolidate them all.

There are now N + 1 standards.

you can fit so much “AI” in this bad boy

That’s great. But that’s not how it’s being marketed and sold to the public. It’s being sold as an oracle (as in crystal ball, not database). And it’s misleading and hurting people as a result.

I’ll reiterate: An LLM has no comprehension of what it says.

It’s a matter of engineering ethics, on multiple levels:

• the training data in the vast majority of cases is outright stolen
• it’s being sold as something that it’s not, and the result is causing real damage to people and society in a ton of ways we’re still discovering
• most people deeply involved in developing LLMs, and basically all of the technical leadership, are categorically ignoring and abrogating any and all responsibility around this “magical” new system they’ve made. We’ve seen this before with social networking. We know where this road leads.

I’m not saying the tech should be banned. That’s obviously idiotic. Neural nets can - and are - used for tons of fascinating and excellent applications. It’s just that my staunch opinion is that LLMs are a terrible application of that the tech at this stage of development, and it’s particularly terrible that OpenAI/Microsoft/etc are aggressively foisting this technology on the public, and simultaneously refusing to take any ethical responsibility for it.
