currently, though, you're mostly trying to get scraped, so there are gaps between when you publish, when you enter the training set and how much the trainers value your input (ie slop vs unique)

once LLMs can modify their weights in real time, this will cease to matter

Writing for LLMs So They Listen Speculation about what sort of ordinary human writing is most relevant and useful to future AI systems.

people technically already do this with ROBOTS.txt, gwern has an essay on this, gwern.net/llm-writing, ive seen others

like any other special register (linkedin, brand accounts, science comms, magazine publishing), it is 'simply' an EV calc

What's With All The 'Clanker' Memes On TikTok? The Meaning Of The Viral 'Star Wars' Slur For Robots Explained A slang term from the <i>Star Wars</i> universe is going viral on TikTok, and the memes have everyone calling robots and AI "clankers." Here's why.

'norvid and sichu at tanagra'

most sane radbro (the pfp, a cousin of milady)

'the voice of Grace'

you've heard of 'attention economy'

now get ready for 'attention astrophysics'

that too, since they're taken private by Saudis

peter 1:13

Be Holy

Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming.

Grigori Rasputin

a real character fategrandorder.fandom.com/wiki/Grigori...

or just any computer program, indeed, under this dichotomy which is reasonable tbf) assembly programming is more art than digital painting

i would say the larger problem is sociocultural, just because a video is inadmissible in court does not mean it can't change minds or mislead

the net effect will fall somewhere between gutenberg press and yellow journalism

just like me fr

SCP-ass

revelations...

probably

eeeeh, no, or at least, not any more than whatever critique you have of industrial alienation

dislike it, but have to admit it's optimal behaviour to maintain the implicit power structure of a tribe and entrench its culture

you are my only moot wit the energy for this, like Neo vs Smith

the point was always to ask 'what is a human anyway?'

the 'allegory for prejudice' framing came way later

i accept that this allegory is the most popular way to do scifi robots now, but this is mostly because mass audiences are frankly not ready for the trippy searle/boltzmann/neumann stuff that animated asimov, clarke, gibson, etc

frankenstein was literally about whether the monster deserved the rights consummate with its depth of language and thought, despite being artificial

the subtitle was 'the modern prometheus', though it's ambiguous whether prometheus here is victor or the monster

it is obvious why this desire is deluded, no matter how well-intentioned

people want jannies with robust moderation tooling and ideological dedication to their fiefdoms with a last-resort option to settle grievances (appeal to the emperor), but not have to work or pay for the creation of this system, and a perpetual liberum veto on the authority of the emperor

you can do this already, what people want is the frictionless UX and customer service of a megacorporation for-profit enterprise, with the first class right-of-exit of a scrappy, leftish-hacker, FOSS techstack

new concept: claudesky, it's an ATproto appview hooked up to and managed by claude(s)

because breeding cattle for thousands of years is mostly invisible to the individual, but each SOTA model release, and their effects, is felt immediately

so what i think is really at play is that

1) we were perhaps too successful in disenchanting the world and promulgating logos

and

2) it's the rate of change that's causing all this anxiety, people are not built to update worldviews this fast, maybe once or twice in their life

then after that, or during the same time, we interfaced with the natural world as if it was conscious, whether it was divination, shamanism or any number of animist beliefs/rituals

it is the mechanistic worldview that is actually the younger framework, animism should be intuitive to us

you know, im not sure it is, i think the OP touches on something real, but it is not as accurate as it could be

we, humans, successfully grew and designed bio-machines for thousands of years, horses, cows, dogs, even birds, with laughably naive biology, solely by gauging the utility of the outcome

i remember when rumi briefly considered the universal humanity of the demons and that they were all victims of gwi-ma somehow

and then just completely forgot about that, except when it came to ji-nu's redemption (fuck the other guys ig)
