LLM’s have now had a pretty decently long period of proving their worth. Which turned out to be very limited in scope and depth, at least compared to the promises given beforehand.

For example, it was predicted that it would be able to write and inject code into itself, generate data to train on for itself, not need any/minimal human intervention to do so. This clearly is impossible.

As a tool for people to use natural language to interact with software, it’s proving to be quite effective.

As a tool for accurate dissemination of factual information it isn’t reliable at all. And can’t be made reliable, LLM’S are at least incapable of reliability at a fundamental level. As language in itself is a subjective human invention we describe the objective reality with, the objective reality is only known through perception. A LLM doesn’t in fact perceive anything, it’s not alive. So fundamentally LLMs can’t know if they are actually being factual, this requires something more than language.

People who peddle AI bs, don’t know, or wish to remain ignorant about, the fundamental limitations of language.

I can pretty much guarantee there are no plans.

I don’t see the US getting kicked out of anything, unless they actively start attacking allies. This isn’t the first time they did shit like this. Anyone with any knowledge of history will understand that what happened was pretty tame. Incredibly stupid and reckless has been the MO for most of US actions abroad.

The US has made enemies for life out of some groups and will suffer many terrorist attacks. The US has again damaged its own reputation in a lot of areas. There will be a very big movement away from American companies. And lastly American culture is no longer particularly seen as fashionable/marketable/leading.

The world will simply move on as it must. The US and its citizens can’t be removed from the map. History can’t be erased. Apologies won’t do anything. Turning America around, towards a more inclusive, equal, just, society is the only thing that can ever hope to help return to good relations. Otherwise its relations will only ever lean on capitalistic relevance to the oligarchy.

Why? Because otherwise we wouldn’t exist and that wouldn’t be in line with the future.

Your moms so fat her entrance is in Bulgaria

The consequences will be felt. The common people feel them already, they’re just a toad in a pot of boiling water. People in power being prosecuted isn’t undoing the damage but will help in rebuilding reputation.

There definitely will be lasting effects in how the world deals with the US. It’s no longer a reliable partner. And its dominance on the world stage is greatly diminished as ties between other powers are strengthened.

I found that the people who want to make those ‘dark jokes’ are the people that use slurs constantly anyway. They just want to get away with it.

Ok I’m sold. I’m getting them.

Good luck!

Xennial here. I despise enshittification, so I wanted some kind of alternative to reddit. I still need to set it up a bit better, but whatever.

I still read reddit through a reddit viewer, but no longer participate.

Whatever the Chihuahua version of a giraffe is.

Yes. You can put this one on your resume

I’m missing something though. I feel that a deja vu has a different quality. A feeling of familiarity with something that you’re not supposed to be familiar with, almost predictive not quite a prediction. While having a flashback, traumatic or not, is a familiarity with something that you’re actually already familiar with. And it invokes different emotions of anger, fear, disappointment, joy, etc.

A computer mouse and crippling debt.

The key concept that you’re forgetting is that this is only the knowledge we have and it’s not the knowledge we don’t have. That is to say that the complexities of human physiology are so large and intertwined that we don’t know a lot about it.

Will telomere manipulation and treatment of cancer have an effect on longevity, yes.

But we are very much unable to accurately predict who gets cancer, when and where. Cancer is also a name for a massively large collection of problems in human tissues, that are all completely different in pretty much everything. There will never be A cure or THE cure for cancer because it isn’t a single thing.

And then there is the fact that most people know what aides in longevity: excersize, a mostly plant based diet, no smoking, no drinking. Thousands of studies have been done on this. People however aren’t doing it. People seem to be perfectly fine with their mortality.

What all these fuckers want is to smoke, drink, catch every disease known to mankind, eat McDonalds every hour of every day and then walk into a longevity pod that fixes all their problems without pain, without recovery, without effort and preferably within a minute or two while on their phone.

Just asking the question is poison for the mind.

Try making this picture for blacks or asians or any non western, non white, non heteronormative, non male performing person.

The only way this picture makes sense is that you as a white man want to go back to the times where your oppression wasn’t questioned, while hiding behind the idea that screens are somehow worse than white oppression.

There is good music from past centuries. Like … How many people have been inspired by Moonlight Sonata. A few songs always survive as good songs, because that’s what they are.

To understand Rock and Roll tou need to understand where it came from. You have to understand that it gave white youth the opportunity to make dance swing music in a highly segregated society. Moving away from big bands into smaller garage size groups, being able for the youth to practice in the suburbs. Entering high schools and becoming a subculture, mainly or basically exclusively, white. Where black cultural music moved towards hiphop and rap, talking about the reality of segregation and poverty. White youth was using RnR to protest systemic issues, racism, war, and the old way of doing things within the more socially acceptable ‘fad’ that RnR was considered to be.

Do you believe that any living soul 70 years in the future is going to look back at any of the crappy shit being produced now as worthwhile to even consider?

No there will only be old decrepit people, that’s going to be you btw, that continues to persist in listening to it because of some sentimental value. But say stupid shit like the 10s were the best musical years ever.

I’m in a very pleasant phase of my life. I’ve had a rollercoaster life with some deep lows in my twenties and thirties. But ever since I hit 40 my life has been much better. Stable job, stable relationship, stable home, in good health. Solid 8. But with very clear career and relationship goals, so ask me again in 10 years.

I’m not a big fan of pickled cutting boards or pickled linen, but to each their own i guess.

This is why we can say that you are not your thoughts. You are not your emotions. You are not your feelings or desires. You are the one experiencing them. You are the observer of your own inner world.
