ai, LLM talk 

A scary part of large language models is that a significant portion of the represented ideas and mannerisms within them come from terminally online.

Like, a lot of normal people just don't post online enough for their worldviews to be encoded in there. 😨

@gordon I think phones not having a keyboard and LLMs being glorified autocomplete speaks to needing to accept that these are fundamental aspecrs of thw tech and to work with it.

IMO disregarding that LLMs are autocomplete makes it harder to appreciate the reality of what they do. It's like not seeing the mirror you're talking at at the fun house.

Reddit: "My friend is in university and taking a history class. The professor is using ChatGPT to write essays on the history topics and the students need to mark up its essays and point out where ChatGPT is wrong and correct it."

Honestly, this is great! The students learn to check sources, discover that ChatGPT is unreliable, *and* can't use it to generate essay question answers for them, all at the same time!

As expected, I managed to get the two of the most urgent things done using some sacrifices to the dark gods (lots of caffeine). :P

Hopefully the next two days will be more chill as a result.

@elliswyatt I don't think you have anywhere near the insight to give me useful advice for my context and I honestly am not seeking advice from anybody, but I appreciate the sentiment.

@am@decept.org I don't really have the luxury of not doing the things I mentioned. This is coming after I already cut out most of the non-urgent TODOs.

@Hyolobrika@berserker.town Honestly the robot servitors would probably be reserved for the ultra wealthy while everyone else rots. 😅 Hard to imagine capitalists making anything that's supposed to improve people's quality of life lately. Only if it means they can extract as much as possible from the person.

@am@decept.org Finish up a draft of this content-aware chunking thing for web archives, write up and record a talk on holistic decentralization, progress on fixing bugs in this IPFS thing, have several meetings to do long term strategy for p2p database stuff. Probably more that I should be doing but is entirely unrealistic to focus on.

I'll likely only get two of those things done tonight anyway.

capitalism feels 

I wish I didn't have to constantly work and push my body and mind to the brink just to afford to live comfortably enough that I can prevent myself from falling apart.

My friends are taking the day off but I can't because I have a bunch of obligations to keep this fragile career progressing.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Mastodon, is in fact, Fediverse/Mastodon, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Fediverse plus Mastodon. Mastodon is not a social network unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning federated universe made useful by ActivityPub servers, fibre optic cables and vital moderation components comprising a full social network as defined by pedants.

I want a phrase like "brb afk" but for when I want to tune out for a bit in meatspace.

Computers have been beating the best human Go players since 2016. The Go world champion retired in part because AI is “an entity that cannot be defeated.”

But a human just trounced one of the world’s best Go AIs 14 games to 1: arstechnica.com/information-te

I think this news story is more interesting than it might first appear (without knowing details, so grain of salt). It isn’t just a gaming curiosity; it points to a fundamental flaw with “deep learning” approaches in general.

It'd be cool if there was a bridge between the and email such that you could mix mailing lists with fedi conversations and bridge the two worlds.

Really wish human an civil rights weren't such a controvercial topic.

Like, it boggles my mind that improving people's quality of life isn't everyone's priority.

Like, not even actively but at least part of people's moral framework.

Wearing my ball python like a scarf and giving it a tour of the smells in my home. Feels fun following its gaze to lead it towards stuff it finds interesting.
