The people crying fascism years ago were right, and now it's here. It hasn't lost meaning, too many people just liked the fascism.

I'm generally an advocate for a robust safety-net such that people shouldn't be on their knees every month just to scrape by with food/housing/healthcare, and would love it if we reached Star Trek/The Culture levels

I'm the last person to propose more LLM usage, but there is a reason DnD has exploded in popularity in recent years despite fancier games and graphics existing, and it's not because people find text/story telling restrictive

BBS existed long before that, and even before that we had "sneakernets" or "copy parties". I assume the term "pirating" is much newer than the concept of copying software, or copyright of said software.

It's not post-hoc if it was telegraphed before the election. I knew it then, as did everyone with a modicum of interest in current events. Regarding your other points, I'm not sure I have to, but here goes: 1) I'd be keen to

You're describing the same answer with different phrasing. Humans do that, LLMs regularly don't. If you phrase the question "what color is your car?" a hundred different ways, a human will get it correct every time. LLMs

I don't blurt out different answers to the same question using different phrasing, I doubt any human does.

There's the whole citizens united ruling stating companies are people, but they're not toddlers. They (the grown adults working there) should not need positive reinforcement to figure out that consumer hostile actions sour said co

Huh, interesting. My experience has always been that computer monitors have been more expensive than TVs, even when panels are ostensibly the same. I've attributed it to comparative volume in TV consumers and desktop computer consumers

In such an environment "what" is irrelevant, it's merely about "who".

Which is why de facto legality is very low value discussion fodder in an environment of rampant unenforcement of laws.

I've already lived through this with Bush, 9/11, Iraq, Afghanistan, and various at the time justifications and later revisions. Most vocal Trump supporters hate Bush and the Iraq war now, but it would interesting to see how consis

In your scenario, maybe yes. The issue is it doesn't apply here as it's neither a person or a coherent memory/thinking being. "Thinking" models are basically just a secondary separately prompted hidden output that p

> I don't care about anyone except my people. I believe this to be the issue causing most issues discussed here. "My people" is fluid, and anyone redefined as "other" no longer requires empathy, and that's h

Just because luck plays a part in everything does not make it moot. Set up two identical agents in a game with rules guaranteeing a winner, and you will end up with one loser being equal to the winner. I agree that CEO positions in aggregat

I surmise that the first two paragraphs are in jest, and I applaud you for it, but unless they're not, or someone else does not realize it: How do you instruct LLM 3 (and 2) to do this? Is it the same interface for control as for data?

My take on that is that the very slim minority who does this are also likely passable through this very blunt hiring tool anyways.

1) I never claimed that the youth are more informed than (tax paying?) adults. 2) A trope is a trope regardless if it happens to be true or false. What I was trying to convey is that you shouldn't dismiss a group on any basis other tha

The trope is youth being uninformed , and it's not the trope being dismissed, but their viewpoints as if they're less valid, but rarely discussed on merit. And as for specific ideas, the root level parent simply stated > The k

I'm curious what "reality" would deliver them in terms of clarity/truth/policy leanings, and how it differs from whatever they're pushed currently. If I've learned anything from my 40+ years on this earth

Ok, can you link that one? Did someone write a blogpost/tweet/reddit post/take a screenshot of it at the time? Have they rewritten/erased all their erroneous fact checks? If so, is that bad or good? Are all the fact chec

I believe that was the point of both what I and GGGP wrote. Pahlaniuk would not be one of "those who love using the term snowflake", in its current context.

by croon 11mo ago
I hear this a lot. I never see examples. The fact checking I've looked at starts with something like a claim, then dives into context, then lists supporting evidence of either verifying that claim or disproving it, leaning on that supp
