  • The problem is instead of finding better ways to stop it (regulations) you’re looking for “productive” ways to use it…

    Apparently because you’ve pre-emptively given up.

    But if you succeed it would lead to more AI and more damage to our planet.

    I fully understand you believe you have good intentions, I’m just struggling to find a way to explain to you that intentions don’t matter. And I don’t think I’m going to come up with a way you’ll beavle to understand.

    It’s like if someone was stuck in a hole in the ground, and instead of wanting to climb out, you yank everyone else back into the hole when they try and keep trying to get them to help you redecorate the hole.

    I truly hope someone can present that in a way that gets through to you, because you are doing real damage.








  • Ultimately the problem with LLM accusations is that short of a confession or doing some hardcore surveillance of the other person you can’t prove it

    Human variation.

    Ironically you would have to take the others person word on it, luckily you just said you were comfortable doing so.

    Some people are statistically insignificant, and to them lots of stuff is incredibly obvious and they’re constantly frustrated others can’t see it. They might even sink sizeable free time into explaining random shit, just to practice not losing their temper when people can’t see the obvious.

    So you might not be able to tell that was AI from a glance, but humans are pattern recognition machines and we’re not all equally good at it.

    So believe a “llm accusation” or not, but some people absolutely can pick out a chatbot response, especially when taking the two seconds to glance at typical comments from a user profile.

    Jump from 1-2 sentence comments to a stereotypical AI response…

    Well, again, not everyone is as good at picking out patterns quickly.

    To some what took me literally under 10 seconds and two clicks counts as “hardcore surveillance” because it would take them a long time to figure it out.

    Don’t assume everyone else is exactly like you.



  • Stop burning the planet down to generate social media comments

    I mean, I thought it would be obvious my issue was with using AI to do so…

    Even if it had been a serious question.

    But, to be fair I was thinking of what a normal.person would be able to parse, and not people who’s critical thinking had already atrophied from offloading to AI.

    They probably don’t have any idea what I meant and would need it explicitly spelled out.








  • Ever valuation is a bubble…

    Say a company is “worth” 100 million. That assume that 100% of the shares equal 100 million.

    However, it’s a startup, so 90% of the stock will never see the light of day.

    But you need capital to start so 5% got sold for 50k a year ago, that made the company worth a million, because 1% equaled 10k.

    But today, another investor (for whatever reason) bought 5% for 5 million, that’s what made the valuation 100 million. The people who own 90% can now borrow money against their hypothetical 90 million, even tho if push came to shove, those shares are only worth what someone will pay for them… And if you increase supply by 10x you lower the price drastically.

    Really “bubble” is overestimating how robust our entire economy is.

    It’s all built on this shell game where no real wealth exists, but banks keep loaning our actual money out against the hypothetical wealth tied up in stocks.

    Like, imagine if I owned a billion grains of sand, sold one single grain for $2 to my buddy, then claimed my net worth was 2 billion, and conned a bank into loaning me just 100 million, then invest that into my buddy’s start up to pay him back for his investment in my mine that secured my loan.

    Numbers keep going up, but absolutely none of it is real. It’s just a couple of assholes insisting they’re somehow “creating wealth”.
