The fatal mistake of this AI cycle was calling LLMs AIs, and publishing impressive chatbots before they were wired up with more useful stuff than passing the Turing test. It made some billionaires who will argue it was a tremendous idea. Bu

They have codified human knowledge in human language, represented by arrays of numbers. They can't access that knowledge in any meaningful way, they can just shuffle numbers to give the illusion of cogency.

LLMs are not simulating brains in any capacity. The words 'neural network' shouldn't be taken at face value. A single human neuron can take quite a few 'neurons' and layers to simulate as a 'neural network&#x27

Voicze doesn't really read as 'voice easy'. I thought it was supposed to be some slavic sound before hearing the fake podcast thing. (Btw massive red flag the podcast, the fake claims of buzz etc). When you select gendered la

The fake podcast is a bright red flag. I wouldn't touch anything related to something like that. Not only because it's a fake podcast, but the content is lies. This supposed buzz, 'everyone is commenting', the 'conv

Besides the idea that DNA can show from 500 years away that a person came from one or another side of a modern border is just not understanding how any of this works.

Also colonization didn't start in earnest until several decades later. For a generation or two the exploitation of the Americas was largely extractive.

'Anew' is an adverb: learn anew. 'Learn from a new' is missing an object.

American capitalism really worked way better when it had a geopolitical competitor. Funny how that works.

This is a common trope in superficial historical contextualizing. People who wanna ground their essays in chronological fashion often project their ideas of a supposed primitive past contrasted to a 'modern way' that is rarely mor

Estimating economy sizes and growth before a couple hundred years ago is at best an exercise in educated guessing.

Few decisions I took make me happier than steering clear of the whole thing in my early days of learning code. What ticked me off first was the silent failures but I keep getting confirmation I did the right thing.

Not uniquely corrupt but uniquely violent (before the Ukraine invasion one in eight violent homicides happened in Brazil... not South America, Brazil). Besides, I don't know great movies that explain the corruption and violence on each

Winner takes all dynamics is nothing new, what is new is that a platform owned and operated by a single company can choose winners and replicate this process at will. It can even conceivably manufacture societal trends. This is in my opinio

I recently wrote a small essay on my field of expertise and asked chatgpt o1 about it. It consistently misunderstood my arguments, and construed correct sounding but subtly wrong interpretations and explanations. I wouldn't trust it ab

There's so much strawmen here I don't want to take it apart because it feels so pointless. A lot of people being single has zero to do with anything else. People don't need to be in romantic relationships to be happy and cert

LLMs don't really teach you. They give you masticated and off-base talking points that make you feel like you understand something. Worst case scenario they do the work for you and you have a crutch. There will be a lot of 'coders

> It’s ultimately a pick me scenario, and still fundamentally submissive. To add to that, it's very easy for platforms to game the system by actually picking winners and then having tonnes of wannabes trying to 'make it'.

Women have no obligation to date or pair up. Why is it a problem if a lot of women's standards are too high for the majority of men and they decide to not date? It's well within their right to be single.

Fair enough, but the interesting tidbit is that in Turkish you can add a verb ending that implies reportedness and that's interesting in itself and not present in English.

Denouncing monopoly price gauging is hardly acting entitled and the fact that you affirm so is a win for owning class propaganda.

From what is reported I disagree. But I reckon speech can be read in different ways than how I did.

That is good advice, but I'd like to clarify that I meant variation over diversity. Eating the same 15 things every week is better than eating the same 5 things, no doubt. But changing it up over the week, month, is even better because
