got it in one

I don't know the US switching to the US dollar is a little radical for my tastes

it will just train itself on other ai art, and will start to look stranger and less accurate

if people understood that they are doing statistics they would realise how using predictions as a basis for future predictions is a terrible idea

Half the people who know enough about llms and "ai" don't know anything about intelligence or language so they might have some kind of idea about what the math is doing, but they're obviously stuck in lala land when explaining what that means in terms of cognition

as my college proffessor on machine learning used to say "AI has literally nothing to say about cognition we sometimes use the language of cognition as a metaphor but it's not what we do here we're statistical modelers and anyone who thinks we have anything of value to contribute to neuroscience is an arrogant moron"

Jungian literalists

they hast signed their name upon the devils blockchain

rune and lighting are fanciful but accurate. It is a marking on stone and metal with significant meaning and it is powered by lightingsubstance

it's all natural and rational but describing it poetically is cool and fine

conclude that it must be real magic and not just a parlor trick. And like any good con artist, the people peddling this stuff really hype up the mysticism around it, trying to make it seem like some impossibly special thing

Like I said elsewhere it's like the magicians of old Egypt again

they are definitely past the point of extreme silliness

Yeah, especially if Q* and other AIs can be based in mathematics so it can invent new things that actually work

These people don't even know what machine learning means. It's all based in maths dumbass

Even a simple LLM is a window into the Jungian collective unconscious at time of training, but nobody seems to talk about the philosophical implications of what we have right now.

Jordan Peterson I should have predicted this

There’s websites showing how you can build technomagick circuits with batteries and leds and sigils / potentiometers. I don’t know how it works or if it does but there’s a lot on it. Lucifer Faust shamanic technomagick is a book that teaches you actual magick devices you can make I believe.

California was a mistake

damn it's almost like China have money and scientists and can work out how computer chips are made

you say wizards aren't real and yet merlin made king arthur king

a future where everything is done by machines and everything is done really badly

these people are basically just the magician priests of Ra again

damn political correctness has gone too far can't even do an ethnic cleansing

I'm pretty sure that isn't a real disease. I looked it up and it comes from a make up a word competition

The UK has real trouble with managing its citizens behaviour abroad. Spain insists we send them more police or they won't let British people go on holiday there. Amsterdam is thinking of banning British men in their 20s from the city (not unfairly mind)

hooligan lists in england

I have never heard of these

ASBOs would be the policy I would point to as they are a criminalisation of non criminal behaviour especially targetted at children although they have been replaced everywhere but Scotland now with a different system that seems to be less aimed at creating criminal records and unlike the ASBO system exempt children

everyone knows black people were invented in the 1960s

having access to cheap gas we were protected from that
