Yeah. Mixed results. Just like an ordinary search. And please note- you knew it was wrong. It is much easier using a tool when you know when it's misbehaving. Sure the level of utility varies from person to person and situation to situation, but there are things I am truly grateful that AI helped me understand, learn, or just spit back at me. It is a very useful tool.
I was reading this and thought, shit, is that one of my comments? Because that's exactly something I would say. And then I remember, we all feel like that.
100%. And it's dangerous as fuck. I am very aware, I dedicated my whole life to communicating through text, with computers, with humans, with myself, I studied philosophy and cognition and language and semiotics and computing and coding, so I'm at a tremendous advantage, and I have noticed that I have started talking a bit more like AI over the past few years.
Like, lie with dogs, get fleas.
Imagine if they decided that they will adjust the morality of the AI, to, let's say, just be a little bit more favorable towards the concept of "white genocide" in South Africa, and the global effects you could see in sentiment. You think Facebook is bad? In ten years we are going to have a seriously big fucking problem with a handful of people truly controlling what people think. They already do, but this one is a game changer.
I repeat myself but, and this might even sound elitist, but if you're an academic, you will have exponentially greater use of AI than if you ain't.
You get what you put. So if you put effort and know how to communicate and know coding and know what's going on, you're gonna have a better time than if you don't. But still, that said, you have to be very careful because it is so comforting, humans are very susceptible to praise and flattery, we want to be lured in, we let ourselves be fooled, like a magic trick.
If you know it's happening you have some defense, imagine all the people who don't and get lost. but I suppose that's the danger with anything really. Make sure you don't get screwed over, as best you can. Sorry for rambling, I have a lot of thoughts on many matters, and I think it's important that we talk about these things so we can figure it out together.
That's what I've been saying too. AI is very much what you put in you get out. If you actually know what you're doing, it's a great little shortcut tool*. Ask stupid questions win stupid prizes, kind of.
I'd miss it a bit. Not a coder by any stretch of the imagination, just scripter, and honestly AI has become a search engine and a quick answer machine and it's ridiculous people pretending that it's useless.
Is it evil? Yes. Does it enrich billionaire oligarchs? Yes. Should we stop using it? Yes.
I think if you want me to answer you, you better address the whole idea I took time writing out with more effort than a single sentence ending in a question mark. Or two.
Honestly, nobody really "wants" anarchy. It's just an intermediary stage. Remember the 1991 LA riots? People always say "if you want change, violence and burning down your own neighborhood is dumb", but that is what anarchy is. It is a last resort. A total revolt against society. The social contract has been ripped in half- anything goes. If things burn, they burn. If they loot, they loot. If they kill, they kill. A suspension of all law and order. A reversion to the Hobbesian natural state- a life, nasty, brutish, and short. Because that is what happens when there is nothing left, when all other recourse has been thwarted and when supplication has failed over generations. On the most fundamental metaphysical level, society is a contract, and agreement. If the counter party does not uphold its part of the bargain, who the fuck are they to demand shit? Nope. We refuse. If they don't uphold their end, why wouldn't we stop? That's how unions operate. We stand in solidarity with one another, because we want to cooperate. But if you can't, if someone wants to subjugate you, or treat you unfairly, what are you to do? Play along? "Just pick yourself up by your bootstraps", hey FUCK YOU, YOU pick yourself up of the blazing fire I am about to start if I'm not treated equally. Alas I wax revolutionary. But I'm really just trying to illustrate a point.
"You should have revolted with less violence!" is the weak retaliatory cry of the bourgeoisie.
I’d much rather have incremental progress within an imperfect system, than a catastrophic failure followed by a gamble on what takes its place.
You hit on an important topic here, because in a polarized world where everything is either black or white, and there are no grayscales, anything other than perfection is not good enough. Which is ridiculous. It's like gun control issues, just to take an example- "if you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns". Yeah. Yeah, and that's bad, we want to make sure to catch all the outlaws who have guns when they shouldn't. I don't know if that makes sense, it makes sense in my head right now, but ok, so let's say... Let's say some gun legislation cuts school shootings by 5%. Is that not enough? It isn't. But it's a fucking start. "Those laws don't work" is such a dumb argument because that's like saying "murder is illegal, yet people murder! Curious!", they claim that if it's not perfect, which it will never be, it's useless.
"There is no bother voting, because both parties are bad. One is worse than the other, but they're both bad, so I don't vote."
That is letting perfect be the enemy of good. "I support Kamala, but one of her cabinet members doesn't pray five times daily towards Mecca, therefore I'd rather abstain, or vote Trump". Like, how does that work in people's heads? Surely we can acknowledge that progress is slow and imperfect. Surely it is better to take a step forward, than take one back.
Anyways, thanks for interacting, I appreciate if you read all that, if not, then that's all good, too. One love. Peace upon mankind.
The party of small government has always been the party of NO government. Because once democracy is gone, they can take over and do what they want. The south never stopped waging the civil war, they just kept waging it by other means. They always hated the Union, and because they weren't stomped out completely they came back, like an infection when you don't finish your antibiotics.
They want to destroy it, because they know that they cannot and will never be in charge as long as us, the common people have a say.
I need reverse surgery. My dick is too big. I need another to keep it company. I wanted Trump to pay for it, but he also wanted to remove my anus, and I'm not comfortable with that, because I need to eat, too, and food turns to poop, and if I don't have a butthole I won't be able to poop, and therefore won't be able to eat, which is unreasonable.
