I could absolutely see an LLM telling us that 6 times 9 is 42 unless there's special tinkering to prevent it.

Folks, I need some expert advice. Thanks in advance!
Our NSF grant reviews came in (on Saturday), and two of the four reviews (an Excellent AND a Fair, lol) have confabulations and [insert text here brackets like this] that indicate that they are LLM generated by lazy people. Just absolutely gutted. It's like an alien reviewed a version of our grant application from an parallel dimension.
Who do I need to contact to get eyes on the situation, other than the program director? We get to simmer all day today since it was released on the weekend, so at least I have an excuse to slow down and be thoughtful.
Aw man, now that's a blast from the past!
The Aristocrats!
Side note:...
I feel this. A constant, nagging feeling of "I should read theory," but man, I hate reading theory.
They're getting paid in "exposure"
I guess they got tired of begging google for money?
If the stars come right, there may not be a Google to beg for money
Second on Maintenance Phase! I marathonned it on a road trip a couple of days ago, and not only is it a well-researched and a fun listen, you'll discover that so much of the stuff Aubrey and Michael discuss is directly congruent to our typical subjects. Can't recommend it enough.
They've inspired me to work on an effort post for MoreWrite, tentatively titled, "A Unified Theory of Bullshitter-Driven Social Diseases."
Which isn't going to be as pompous as it sounds, I promise!
wat
Thanks for sharing this lol
By "liberal mob" he means "people who asked for their money back and aren't coming anymore"
100%. This criti-hype is going to blow up in their faces. "They" being, in order:
- AnhPhu Nguyen and Caine Ardayfio
- Meta
- PimEyes
In addition to your analysis, I'd like to point out that this reads just like the Rabbit R1, but for stalkers who also have a deep craving to look like an insufferable dork. This whole thing could be, and already is, an app -- if someone needs this kind of evil bullshit, clearview.ai been around forever.
New blog smell, most likely
A redditor has a pinned post on /r/technology. They claim to be at a conference with Very Important Promptfondlers in Berlin. The OP feels like low-effort guerilla marketing, tbh; the US will dominate the EU due to an overwhelming superiority in AI, long live the new flesh, Emmanuel Macron is on board so this is SUPER SERIOUS, etc.
PS: the original poster, /u/WillSen, self-identifies as CEO of a bootcamp/school called "codesmith," and has lots of ideas about how to retrain people to survive in the longed-for post-AI hellscape. So yeah, it's an ad.

The central problem of 21st century democracy will be finding a way to inoculate humanity against confident bullshitters. That and nature trying to kill us. Oh, and capitalism in general, but I repeat myself.
simple as
Voted sneerer most likely to build a fully-functional time machine!
Look, we just need to get enough money to launch von neumann probes to the moon, disassemble it and build a shell of computronium around the earth, and then AI will be able to do my job. Trust me bro, just one moon (it won't even get mad)
