It’s never about the real past for them. It’s about the fake shallow image of the past they yearn for.
The 50s, yeah, when ‘howl’ was published and every single adult was on meth qaaludes cocaine and a BAC that would today get you rushed to the ER for just about every waking moment. But thats not what they remember. They get the simplified idealized propaganda version, and like it. Everything is fantasy rp to them.
Same with the crusades, early america, and everything else they like.
Yeah it turns out having infrastru’ture wnd a society is, like, efficient and stuff.
Okay but see none of tjose are stock buybacks or exec bonuses, so…
They have some wonderful new finamcial products released just this quarter!
Mcdonalds 20% less morally compromising, much worse benefits.
We’re not a cult. Come on out to our compound and we’ll show you!
Semantics, of course, famously never matter.
So, first, bad comparison.
Second: if that’s the equivalent, why not do the one that makes tge wealthy let a few pennies go to fall on actual people?
Tjose are people who could be living their li:es, pursuing their ambitions, whatever. That could get some shit done. Comparison not valid.
No, it matters. Youre pushing the lie they want pushed.
It’s absolutely dangerous but it doesnt have to work even a little to do damage; hell, it already has. Your thing just makes it sound much more capable than it is. And it is not.
Also, it’s not AI.
Edit: and in a comment replying to this one, one of your fellow fanboys proved
everyone knows how they work
Wrong
Its not a magical 30%, factors apply. It’s not even a mind that thinks and just isnt very good.
This isnt like a magical dice that gives you truth on a 5 or a 6, and lies on 1,2,3,7, and for.
This is a (very complicated very large) language or other data graph that programmatically identifies an average. 30% of the time-according to one potempkin-ass demonstration. Which means the more possible that is, the easier it is to either use a simpler cheaper tool that will give you a better more reliable answer much faster.
And 20 tons of human shit has uses! If you know its providence, there’s all sorts of population level public health surveillance you can do to get ahead of disease trends! Its also got some good agricultural stuff in it-phosphorous and stuff, if you can extract it.
Stop. Just please fucking stop glazing these NERVE-ass fascist shit-goblins.
Less broadly useful than 20 tons of mixed texture human shit, and more ecologically devastatimg.
You get how that’s fucking useless, generally?
It cant do 30% of tasks vorrectly. It can do tasks correctly as much as 30% of the time, and since it’s llm shit you know those numbers have been more massaged than any human in history has ever been.
Please stop.
Humans can be more than this. We do actively repress our most important intellectual capacuties.
That’s how we get llm bros.
I think there’s a strong strain of essentialist human chauvinism.
But it’s more kinds of thing than LLM’s are doing. Except in the case of llmbros fascists and other opt-outs.
If the police weren’t unaccountable invaders, and just, liked, issued annoying tickets or whatever instead of murdering children and doing to crowds of peaceful civilians things that would be war crimes if done to uniformed enemy soldiers literally any tike they assemble, or even if the obes who actually did that stuff were punished literally at all when they did, i don’t think anyone would have even thought to do this.
They are abd they do and they don’t, though.
I find im always just howling into the void.
