aaaa

I wanted to see what would happen

So don’t let people create communities, right?

Then your whole instance would be controlled by you and your whole forum would be yours

You know, the regular kind

Do they have older siblings?

My parents suddenly awakened to this scenario when my aunt had an “episode”

It might help to frame it in a way that someone they respect might become too old

Why are you blaming me

Yeah? Well the jerk store called.

Well I know he built C-3PO, and I’ve seen how fast his pod can go

I think when you create a persona based on trolling, you have to expect that your serious comments won’t be taken seriously

Not that you precisely deserved it, but this shouldn’t be a shocking outcome

If it makes you feel any better, senator Wyden has been consistently against these things in the US also

Not that it has stopped any of it, of course. But aside from one particular time, I’ve been very pleased with his voting record and public statements

Fourth

Does this apply to the first or the second time?

You know women are capable of tripping naked too

Wtf, are they doing the filming in the Gamma Quadrant?

The Packers will take the cup

I’m not all in on the “AI psychosis” argument, but there is mounting evidence showing that there’s already been a significant amount of “brain drain” in professionals who shifted to use LLMs more than their own brains. I’m not sure how a scientific study could be performed on the phenomenon, but it’s pretty well-understood that you have to exercise your thinking skills to keep them sharp. There are plenty of documented cases showing doctors and engineers who regress in their skills after a few years of turning to chat bots before trying to figure it out for themselves. Meanwhile the LLM hallucination rate remains around 40%.

While this isn’t an indictment of the technology as a whole, it’s definitely a warning sign that society isn’t using the technology in a way that benefits us more than it harms, and we should absolutely be critical in that realm.

I think one thing you left out was how heavily the corporations are pushing AI in their apps and software, even when the users overwhelmingly don’t want it (looking mostly at Microsoft, but there are others). I know this isn’t technically an AI problem or even a new problem, but it’s a significant escalation and a big red flag for end user choice and privacy, and it has a place in the conversation.

But generally, “AI” is not really the problem. There are tons of useful applications for machine learning and AI that have nothing to do with LLMs. The problem is how this technology is being pushed so hard onto us and encouraged to take over our daily lives before society understands the best and healthiest ways to utilize it.

I also do think ai-generated images look pretty soulless and bland. But that’s just my opinion

Sorry, what was I saying?

Oh I didn’t notice that, good point, good point

Why does anyone think these two are together

I don’t feel comfortable telling you that

I suppose I’m in the minority here, but I avoid video or audio content entirely in these situations. I don’t want to listen to somebody babble on about something, whether it’s a news story, a documentary, an opinion piece, whatever. Just give me an article or even a blog post that I can read at my own pace, and easily scroll up to refer back to previous parts.

Ctrl+F is my best friend, and you can’t do that in a video or podcast.
