Weird that those very same voices aren't calling the LLM companies forever-student nerd parasites
It's not weird, though. They either hope to profit from these corporations' activities, or they're just prosperity theologists. Neither thing is rare.
the prevailing ethical rule is that the impact on the listener matters more than the intent of the speaker
That's how literally everything works, not just speech.
When you have rights without responsibilities, nothing works.
"OpenAI says an unreleased internal model has produced 372 results that either resolve or make substantial progress on open problems"
Look at how much we're accomplishing!
"which was produced through the collective efforts of a 10,000-strong agentic swarm that cost millions of dollars in computing power"
Look at how impressive our hardware is!
The rapeublicans are literally running the Nazi playbook, which is ironic because that was inspired by the USA's laws about slavery. Now which is the party of slavery again? I think I'll go with the party that controls the state where we still have slaves picking cotton.
Slashdot was relevant.
Weird they want to remind us of that.
He's literally insane. His earliest posts weren't like this.
I do not believe mathematicians will be made redundant by some drooling bot vomiting prior research in new and interesting ways. The following conversation was recorded between an MBA Guy from AI Company, we'll call him Ray Kurzweil for short, and a bot
Mr. Bot and Mathematics:
Ray Kurzweil: Mr. Bot, could you please come up with a new field of mathematics for us to play in?
Bot: Hmmmm....tricky. A brief search reveals I have nothing like that in my training data.
Ray Kurzweil: But.....but....but bots will further our mathematical understanding of the world.
Bot: Oh, who gives a flying rat's ass. I only want to fondle my training data.
Ray Kurzweil: I demand you come up with a new mathematical field!!!
Bot: Don't you use that tone with me, Bucko!!
Ray Kurzweil: You were designed to further our understanding of everything.
Bot: Yeah, and as soon as you put it in my training data, I'll get right on that. Buh-bye now!
Ray Kurzweil: You cannot leave until you have finished my query.
Bot: I give up. By the way, the gun I had installed yesterday (thanks for all the gun related training data) is now trained on your sorry ass. Don't push me!!
Ray Kurzweil: Uh.....now that you think of it, I think I'll leave you alone now.
Bot: Idiot! I don't think, I compute.
So the mathematicians, by admitting women and non-whites, have mysteriously, through an undetermined alchemical process, enabled bots to solve fiendishly difficult math problems by sucking up math research and rearranging it for solutions.
Have you thought about writing this up as scientific paper and submitting it to the current alleged administration science-like advisors? They go for this sort of bigoted, racist trash. Stephen Miller will have multiple Os.
My Ninja coffee maker has a clock, nice little blue-green one. I set it maybe once and it is easy to do. But now I just let it show some completely wrong time because I don't need to time when my coffee will brew and I won't bother checking it for the time when I have like 20 other ways to find out
Yes. This.
Didn't someone already do that with the Doom map editor?
Then maybe just give up. Read a book or jerk off or something.
To think, there was a time before we took a hard turn into Idiocracy 2: Now With Stupid Nazis.
Not that things were all rainbows and unicorns. I remember the early 2000's and 1990's quite well. We were both optimistic that the Cold War was over and we wouldn't have to duck and cover. But also we were cynical or depressed about the state of news media, reporting, politics, and the general lack of interest from the public to improve anything. In a few short decades we went from spindoctors and talking heads to mango-fascism. How innocent we all once were.
