It's incredible that we let billionaires bloviate about their policy views without throwing tomatoes at them. We know what they want, they want policies that work for a few dozen people and immiserate the other 300 million. Not interested!

Guillermo del Toro refused to use VFX for the ship in 'Frankenstein' so they built one from scratch ⚓️
"The ship is a character ... I didn't want the audience to go, 'Oh, this is all digital' ... once you introduce that, it's like a license for people not to believe things"

Humans imbue words with power like spells. It’s not the machine thats thinking, it’s the person projecting.
there is not. it is using a (highly complicated, multidimensional) statistical model to guess the next word in the chain
that is ALL it is doing
that is ALL it CAN do
there is no difference between valid output and hallucination
it can’t search its data, or demonstrate creativity or insight

as a computer scientist, i am BEGGING people to realize that there is no cognition inside of an LLM
no reasoning, no thought process, no self-awareness
I read a lot of arguments (for AND against) LLMs, and both sides seem to think there’s a consciousness or intentionality or even a moral alignment

That interest rate is pure insane evil. Get the Girllitine.
The Flex Loan, a new type of payday loan pioneered by Advance Financial in Tennessee, allows residents to borrow up to $4,000 at a 279.5% interest rate.
