LLMs are interesting, and there are some very promising applications, but I’m concerned that the hype is going to damage the reputation of the technology in a way that could interfere with those things.

Regarding all other AI, there’s a lot of good that has come from AI research, and most people don’t recognize it. We have a tendency to shift our definition of “intelligence” to always exclude things that someone figures out how to get a computer to do.

Every day we use software that would have been considered AI years ago.

I’m not against AI, but I’m against the capitalist impulse to squeeze money out of anything to the detriment of all of humanity and the world.

My hope is that the LLM bubble bursts, big companies suffer terribly, the “AI” tag becomes bad marketing, and they let AI quietly return to research, where people can do some good with it.

What do you mean when you say AI?

Are you talking about all the different areas of research or just LLMs?

How dare you!

“Remember how difficult it was for you to pass the bar? Come work for us and we’ll get you disbarred before you know what hit you!”

The FBI will get him extradited to the US and ICE will grab him and deport him back to Mexico.

I would point out the way drug dealers kill their customers is unintentionally via overdose or bad drugs.

Also, if you’re a parent, and you lost your only child to a drug dealer due to an overdose, that’s really all you need to want to hunt down and kill the dealer.

A parent with nothing left to lose could be about as dangerous as it gets.

I have one example of a rich person who was addicted to drugs.

He was a gifted child so his parents treated him like he knew how to raise himself. They also probably weren’t terribly interested in raising a child, so they basically abandoned him. He was cared for, but not by them.

Best example of this: I mentioned that I still remembered my mom teaching me how to tie my shoes. He remembered the maid teaching him.

Because no one would stop him, he started drinking in his early teens, and moved onto drugs soon after.

Regarding murdering because of money, I’d recommend making it a home invasion gone wrong. Addicted kid gets cut off from family, can’t pay drug dealer, can’t get drugs. Tells drug dealer he knows where the family keeps a lot of money. Like “won the lottery” money. Drug dealer tells someone else who convinces them to go after it. Hilarity ensues.

Pete Hegseth is a TERRIBLE advertisement for writing public speeches with AI.

More accurately:

We thought voters wanted this, but now they’re pissed so we want to pretend we don’t want this and hope the voters don’t remember that we were pretending to want it before.

All we really want is money.

What if you say, “JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!” a lot? Does that count?

Edit: Wait. I just remembered. I’m not rich.

Schools have always been propaganda machines, but the propaganda has shifted completely to 100% ignorance and hate.

You used to be able to learn actual science. History too, albeit with an AMERICA IS GREAT focus.

Future editions of “Lies My Teacher Told Me” are going to need to be multi-volume sets like encyclopedias.

The moon landing was faked, but they hired Stanley Kubrick to direct the shoot, and he insisted that they film on location.

If Russia could stop the US from striking Iran, you’d think they’d stop Ukraine from striking Russia.

How about a primary where superdelegates get no more/better votes than anyone else?

What am I thinking? That might result in someone who isn’t on the corporate teat!

I’m guessing this is the Dariel Gonzalez mentioned in the article.

“Voting against their constituents’ interests” might be a better way to put it.

I don’t have a flagpole. I want to put one in, but my wife objects.

The reason she objects is because she thinks it will make us a target.

I want to fly a pride flag under the American flag. The point being that the American flag stands for all Americans, not just the Americans who agree with the current regime.

I’d probably change the lower flag from time to time, depending on events, time of year, or my mood.

I’d argue that the surgeon general should have a medical license and at least a decade of two of clinical work, ideally with some administrative experience as well.

However, that would work against the number one requirement for anyone to get a job in this administration: be dumber than President Pedophile.

Who fighting who?
