Silentiea

But are you also a softie with a heart of gold, or are you actually worth warning my kids about?

Silly sitcoms are silly because they're sitcoms. There, I said it.

But fr tho I am so not a fan of laugh tracks.

I'm for it. Let's trade notes.

Well, I'm a trans lady and I'm in the middle of a comp sci degree, so...

Let me guess, your preferred battleground for the fight is a go board?

Internet archive is doing amazing work, and the world will be so very grateful one day even as much of it tries to shut them down now.

Real intelligence simply doesn't work like this

There's a certain point where this just feels like the Chinese room. And, yeah, it's hard to argue that a room can speak Chinese, or that the weird prediction rules that an LLM is built on can constitute intelligence, but that doesn't mean it can't be. Essentially boiled down, every brain we know of is just following weird rules that happen to produce intelligent results.

Obviously we're nowhere near that with models like this now, and it isn't something we have the ability to work directly toward with these tools, but I would still contend that intelligence is emergent, and arguing whether something "knows" the answer to a question is infinitely less valuable than asking whether it can produce the right answer when asked.

The complaint listed in the text was that it "refused to generate white people in any context", which was not the author's experience, hence they shared screens of their results which did include white americans

How dare you cook dinner for yourself when McDonald's is right there? How will the franchise owners or the brand owners be able to buy meals for their children!?

I mean it's still possibly copyright and/or trademark infringement, but...

I mean I always knew digital renting was kind of a lame idea, but I didn't put together how monumentally bad it is until you said that...
