We can’t all be bread making hedonists. Some of us want these finite lives to mean more than living constantly in the moment in a state of baking zen.

I just think it’s stealing, and honestly not that cool once you’ve seen it once or twice, and given the ramifications for humanity.

I don’t think the advent of superintelligence will lead to increased leisure time and increased well-being / easier lives. However, if it did I wouldn’t mind redundantly learning the mathematics with the help of the AI. It’s intrinsica

In the 20th century American farmers moved to cities as their jobs were displaced by increasing mechanization.

Unlike with farms, there’s not an alternative way of life in the city to run to.

My Professor dreams died years ago. I’m just trying to survive this hell.

An insidious feature of machine generated content is that it will dominate not because it’s better, but because it’s cheaper.

It sucks that this is what life is all about.

There’s no single forward direction in science. We’re in a machine learning hype cycle. That doesn’t mean we must fire everyone in every other department.

I watched an interesting video recently about how one of the ex Yugoslavia countries had their Wikipedia essentially hijacked by (quasi?) fascists. They were able to purge all dissenting opinion after getting enough of their people moderato

It’s not surprising that this happens when plagiarism and theft are foundational parts of the machine learning ethos. It is literally built into the ideology being bandied about at these places.

The person you are replying to asked a very useful question, and you supplied a useful answer. I don’t detect any snarky tone in their comment.

It’s worth giving names to interesting phenomena as it helps people to identify and understand them. I find this phenomenon interesting because a person who wants the defend the LLM from apparent criticism is probably more likely to exhibit

by GPerson 2y ago
There must be a name for the new phenomenon, of which your post is an example, of: 1. Someone expresses that an LLM cannot do some trivial task. 2. Another person declares that they cannot do the task, thereby defending the legitimacy of th

A corporation, a question and answer website, a Minecraft game, and basically any sufficiently complex system could all be General-purpose AIs by that definition though. Having an overly general and useless definition is not better than hav

I think most papers should effectively just be scavenged through. In (mathematics) grad school I’ve only had time to seriously study a single digit number of research papers, but I at least feel like I gained a lot from looking through many

Automation practically eliminated the labor required to provide for the basic necessities of human survival, but if I don’t maintain an increasingly inconsequential job, then I will die homeless in the streets in short order. I’m really not

I’m not making an argument here. What I would like explained is why we don’t already have UBI, given that mass production and automation has existed for a very long time already.

I agree with this other than the part where you say vegans have to bend over backwards to meet their dietary needs. It’s really not hard to eat a vegan diet in 2024. The hardest part is running into other people who presume you’re judging t

The regular hexagonal pyramid is a degenerate example, at least.

Why should anybody do something creative for themselves when you’re just going to steal their work by plugging into into an LLM’s training set and then use it as if nobody owns it?

LLMs are obfuscated plagiarism.

I noticed. Which of these concessions constitute real change, given that the courses were already essentially a free pass?
446.
by GPerson 3y ago
From this reading, it’s possible the causality is reversed here. If I’m desperate because I’ve got a neurotic and emotional kid, I might be more likely to hook them up to an iPad.

by GPerson 3y ago
Real theory of what change? The courses were already electively pass-fail. What’s the point of this so-called change?

Many of the highest salaried careers are actively harmful towards society. It’s hard to be too upset at the tenured professors making 130k a year late in their career when the grunts at elite law firms or investment banks are starting at 25

“ The first is related to the third is related to the second is related to the first isn't an argument. It's trying to avoid the argument because you can accept the truth.” “ Yes. Far more generous than I should be.” This sounds a
