I remember being at my last job, shortly before my last day. Always worked Sundays, kept to myself. Had a moment alone with an openly religious coworker, told her that the biggest thing I was looking forward to was going to church. I saw her entire perception of me recompiling in real time

Told my coworker I’m a church girlie and I saw him struggle to process that for five second lmao

The key to casual social interactions is to have a second thing that you’re both doing together! I use that exact trick all the time

holographic liberal @transliberalism.substack.com · 4d

I’m not sure that would be sufficient. You could argue the context window develops change to an LLM, and that LLMs do, or can, have networks that evaluate good/bad arguments introduced to that window.

holographic liberal @transliberalism.substack.com · 4d

Yeah. The problem I have with the argument is that there’s not really a clear test for “meaning” or “understanding“. I see a lot of vibes and basically just insistence that it’s obvious that X test shows their conclusion, when it really doesn’t necessarily

holographic liberal @transliberalism.substack.com · 4d

The argument is that *clearly* LLMs don’t have genuine understanding, genuine grasp of meaning, even as they excel at syntax, so therefore we have proof that syntax is not sufficient for meaning.

I’ve now seen arguments that LLMs prove the philosophies of Foucault, Saussure, Derrida, Deleuze, Wittgenstein, Searle, and Plato. Someone here has got to be wrong

my handle scares people but I build trust with lefty circles by hyping leftist theorists more often than lib theorists lol

Or, if you‘re skeptical of dr hancox-li over her liberalism and need to hear this leftishly, here’s a banger from susan stryker:

Hearken unto me, fellow creatures. I who have dwelt in a form unmatched with my desire, I whose flesh has become an assemblage of incongruous anatomical parts, I who achieve the similitude of a natural body only through an unnatural process, I offer you this warning: the Nature you bedevil me with is a lie. Do not trust it to protect you from what I represent, for it is a fabrication that cloaks the groundlessness of the privilege you seek to maintain for yourself at my expense. You are as constructed as me; the same anarchic Womb has birthed us both. I call upon you to investigate your nature as I have been compelled to confront mine. I challenge you to risk abjection and flourish as well as have
I. Heed my words, and you may well discover the seams and sutures in yourself.
