Me reading this with a hippie beard.

LLMs are just massively-multidimensional maps of human language use. It is academically interesting to have developed both the map and a method for plotting a course through language-space using a prompt as an initial vector, but human intellience is not in language. Rather, language is part of human intelligence, and mapping it to ever more computationally-expensive distances is never going to chart a path to the digital mind that all the tech billionaires are so desperate to enslave.

They lost me when they released Fallout 76 prematurely and refused to honor my refund request. I’m glad I bought it direct rather than through Steam, I charged that shit back and swore them off right then.

Not a 60% success rate, but a 60% rate of throwing good money after bad.

That’s creepy-chan. I went to highschool with her, and she’s always had that vibe, even back then.

I really hope people are starting to catch on, large language models aren’t “intelligent”, they’re multidimensional maps of human language use and querying them is just tracing a vector “forward” through language-space from the starting point of a prompt.

It’s the reification fallacy writ so large it’s eclipsing entire national economies. Human intelligence isn’t in language, language is a product of human intelligence. The map is not the territory.

And yeah, it is pretty cool that we have the processing power to map out language-space well enough to draw some vectors that remain coherent over thousands of tokens, but using a billion-parameter model to do what could be accomplished with probably-already-existing management software and a few seconds of CPU time per week is as wasteful as it is misguided.

All of them, lol~.

But for real, I’ve been working in web hosting and related fields for over 15 years and the enshittification is still accelerating. It’s long past time to stop relying on centrally hosted sites and start working on decentralized services.

Buying his way into Paypal and acting like he invented the thing.

I’m one of those people! =D

A fancy curled moustache and perky little titties, the combo that cracks eggs and confuses straights!

It’s the opposite of the euphoria transfems like me feel when we go breasting boobily up or down the stairs.

I’m enby, taking my shirt off is like flipping a coin.

They’re hopeless, I can pad out my bra to C-cups but unless I swap my tee shirts and jeans for blouses and skirts they can never tell I’m not a guy. XD

Hell yeah!

Queer Villain Pride!

If businesses wanted stability they wouldn’t make the working conditions so bad.

You must live in a civilized country.

America is not a civilized country.

They did that on purpose. “Cashless” just means giving a middleman the opportunity to take a cut.

Well, you’ve got my first three. Then there’s:

“Be gay, do crimes.”

Referencing “my partners” whenever appropriate (or at least as often as straight people talk about their families) and then having to explain polyamory to confused old people.

“Buy local, use cash.”

“The trick to a fancy curled moustache is not to twist it. The moustache-twirling villain is a myth, you’ve gotta spike it out straight and then bend the curve in.”

You’re an indie, stop worrying about piracy costing you sales and start worrying about the people who’ve never heard of you but would buy your game if they did.

If anything, you should be encouraging piracy as a marketing strategy to help get your name out there. Anonymity is a bigger cause of lost sales than piracy ever could be.
