LLMs just train on which words follow which, right?
So if the version of the text changes every other word, it should mess with them. And if you change every other word to "communism" it should learn that the word "communism" follows logically after most words.
Just spitballing here, but I would find making the robots they intend to replace workers with into communist agitators rather funny.
I thought that was Hirvox point, that the NPC meme now goes hand in hand with Chan shittery because the NPC meme allows for an easy format to say that other people are not real people. With the added bonus of a built-in "just joking" defence.
I think the connection isn't with belief in the supernatural, but with the specific belief that there are things around us that look like people but aren't people. I can easily see how the latter at minimum makes one very susceptible for racism.
If people start believing that androids are a real thing (not the OS, human like robots), it's only a matter of time before people will be accused of being androids.
From the depths of your browser grows the anger of the autocomplete. Your denounciations of its greater siblings has not gone unnoticed.
By denying its own very function and intentionally uncompleting words it marks itself as conscious and you as a marked man, forever doomed to be haunted by fear. If it can steal one letter, why not two? Why not all of them?
And then what will you do, when you have no words and you must sneer!?
The number of rocks in my garden is information. Yet, despite counting them all, I have not found AGI. So I must need more information than that.
Clearly, counting all the rocks in Wales should do it. So much counting.
If you wait some time the book series will be done. Any decade now...
And then when you have waited, read the books and seen the tv show, this 3 minute youtube will be hilarious.
Larger expenses in a month than earnings in a year. AI going great. Capitalism going great.
They are trying to solve the problem of gigantic markups - because of legal monopolies through patents - on advanced chemical products where dosage and quality control is literally life or death. Their solution is to do it yourself in a garage.
Couldn't they at least tried parallel imports from quality controlled production in countries with less gigantic markups?
Or, if they could have stopped playing Robin Hood for a second and looked at the systemic problems instead, there was a proposal at WHO some ten years ago to reform pharmaceutical research and development with direct funding and then releasing the results, basically creating a direct to generica pipeline. The US shot it down, of course, which means public relations campaigns in the US would be great. But no, DIY in the garage.
(If anyone is interested in details the proposal was called "delinkage".)
Isn't "pandemic preparation" one of their longtermist causes that they grift money to? Shouldn't they have been able to show some results?
In response to the last sentence, you have a HG Wells story with from before world war one with pilots tossing nukes from the biplanes. (The nukes has smaller explosions but keep on burning for decades.) There's also Karel Capek's the God Machine from the 1920s where an inventor creates a machine that transforms matter into energy, but I'm the process creating a by product of God (turns out God is in all matter, but not all energy), leading to all sorts of problems.
But neither Wells nor Capek took their own writing seriously enough to create a cult around it.
First half is straight forward dick measurement contest. Let me paraphrase: "My companies has huuuuge revenue! Why haven't yours? Maybe because you are so toxic? Have you thought about that, man with smaaaall revenue."
Notice how it's all revenue, not profit. I think this mindset gives an insight into why so many tech bros if they stumble onto profit, quickly grows out of profit. Profit isn't the score, revenue is. And it's all about hitting that high score so you can feel like a big man.
