this has come up a few times, but so we're clear

you could have your absolute pick of AI experts willing to testify that the bot is a tool, it can do literally anything, and the person who pushes through on the results is responsible, either by action or negligence

second migraine of last two weeks

why. i thought i outgrew these

The writer of this piece bought a small farm just north of Iowa City with her professor husband & has never run the farm herself. The land wasn't farmed at all from 2017 to 2020 because they couldn't find a tenant.

this all makes much more sense when you realize the people described here aren't """farmers,""" as society understands them (which no longer exist in the US) but are actually a combination of petit bourgeois+slavers who haven't performed a day of honest work in their lives

his 'AI and consciousness' is pretty good

because your most annoying users are all angry at their parents

the main thing that i can't figure is why they haven't hit a tanker yet.

They came for the 90% of the total population that were farmers, and I shut up because woah cool new tractor, nice haber-bosch process, holy heck monoculture works!

And now they have come for me the 2%, and only the Institute for Policy Studies will speak out for me.

oh hey cool post

i wouldn't, if i were them. but we'll see

kv cache is a form of state, it has almost entirely the same information from one token to the next in it

context window has shared state of growing size, it has a fair degree of continuity throughout the context window

i have no idea why you think LLMs don't meet criteria for access consciousness. what do you think is a definitive test for access consciousness that they wouldn't pass.

people complaining that the new CEO might make bluesky profitable is gold.

i hope bluesky does great, but if it doesn't i get to watch all these people get what they're asking for

people who cry about efficiency in farming should only eat food they grew themselves.

if you replace farm workers with robots jimbob won't have anyone to threaten to call immigration on

he didn't inherit his farm for this

this has nothing to do with anything, i think you might be nuts

claim

> the average hater is too rude to ever get useful work out of the gadget, which prefers politeness

that might actaully be true

one of the funniest genres of post is people who have always lived in blue cities try to say nice things about red state areas, people actually from red states start posting like Sherman

and its cousin: when people are especially prone to hippie-punching because they live in hippie town

if you are an adult and not legitimately starving stealing shit should be beneath you.

among other problems, if an actually broke and desperate person tries to steal actual food for that store, the cop that busted you for stealing probiotics and eye lotion with your $400 checkout is keyed up now

idk it sounds like a net positive

one of the fun tells that LLMs do in fact capture human behavior well is how closely their word salad when you break them looks like dementia or schizophrenia

pump and dumping an actual war and oil crisis from the white house is pretty impressive, i can't lie. like i have to be amazed

slop is like the shotgun you fire in the air to keep the neighborhood cheap

i used to think the guys who listed what fallacy you just committed at you were reddit-brained but i get it now

they say things like that all the time, which you would know if you read the post

oh hey wb

also true
