  • For example? Citations?

    Pretty sure these "tasks" are meaningless metrics made up by pseudo-scientific grifters.

  • The smart move is never calling it "AI" in the first place.

  • Pretty sure "AI" didn't exist in the 60s/70s either.

  • Historically "AI" still doesn't exist.

  • They're trying to compare "AI" to fire. If you don't see the point, I can't blame you.

  • Cars are literally privileged garbage that's destroying the planet. Great comparison on that one.

    Is this /c/technology or /c/anti_technology because it’s hard to tell most of the time.

    Well only one of those is allowed to exist so you figure it out.

  • Like any new techonology... It's cool for 10 minutes until capitalism weaponizes it against humanity.

  • And what exactly are AI textbooks?

    A grift.

  • If both agents selected the same name, they earned a reward; if not, they received a penalty and were shown each other's choices. Agents only had access to a limited memory of their own recent interactions—not of the full population—and were not told they were part of a group. Over many such interactions, a shared naming convention could spontaneously emerge across the population, without any central coordination or predefined solution

    Lol. The "central coordination" is provided by the humans who set this up. If people "reward" and "penalize" computers for making different choices, is there any surprise when they converge on the same choice?

    Grifters gotta get that grant/VC money somehow...

    We are entering a world where AI does not just talk—it negotiates, aligns, and sometimes disagrees over shared behaviours, just like us.

    Fuck off with this anthropomorphic pseudo-science.

  • Because marriage is the problem not the solution. The state should have no role in enforcing religious ceremonies and privileging those who participate. The idea of "marriage equality" is complete bullshit since marriage overtly favors religion, hetero-normativity, etc. Fuck the state. Fuck religion. Fuck their marriage.

    Fuck homophobes too ofc, but "marriage equality" is a problem not a solution. Delusional headline.

  • Ignore the “AGI” hype—LLMs are still fancy autocomplete. All they do is predict a sequence of tokens—but it turns out writing code is mostly about stringing tokens together in the right order, so they can be extremely useful for this provided you point them in the right direction.

    I'm just super happy to see someone talking about LLMs realistically without the "AI" bullshit.

    If LLMs help people code, then that's great. But stop with the hype, grifting, etc. Kudos to this author for a reasonable take. Extremely rare.

  • Averages and outdated statistics only tell some of the story... It's not the boomer age anymore...

    Pew’s survey also found that more than half of college graduates are underemployed, working in roles that neither require a degree nor utilize the knowledge they paid the universities to acquire. Even a decade after graduation, 45% remain in such positions.

    Realistically the situation keeps getting much worse, not better. Not just for students but also for faculty, et al.

  • Yes, the concept of "representative" government is a complete scam and inversion of democracy.

  • We just had a boring middle aged white guy and he spent his entire abandoned campaign pushing for genocide. Dems never learn basic humanity.
