She has also peddled transphobic talking points

that wasn’t my point, and i am not defending the Republicans. maybe that’s what people thought I was saying that I got downvoted? (not complaining, this just shows there are shortcomings in how i communicate my ideas).

of course it’s deeply disturbing that they are embracing this label. and it’s all good that we can look at this at laugh at our enemies, think they are weird, or whatever. maybe i am a pessimist, but i am worried that this isn’t going to change anyone’s minds. the right wingers will look at this post and say “look at those dumb leftist, they just can’t understand sarcasm” and move on.

you say this can change the minds of fence-sitters, obviously i don’t have any data to support or discredit that, so genuine question: have you seen anyone’s mind being changed by this?

i am not sure what people expect this photo to do to be honest. they are sarcastically mocking the left for calling them terrorists. they aren’t going to feel attacked if you show them this photo. the only thing it does is making you laugh at the right wingers and feel good about yourselves. it’s purely self-congratulatory.

my boss: not u though

no no, this is not Trump having a stroke. don’t get fooled! Trump is dead, this is just the robot they replaced him with having a little malfunction. wake up, sheeple! /s

It’s morphing to hide a cut, it’s used quite often nowadays. Probably Trump fucked up a read and couldn’t be assed to do it again. Infer from that what you will.

Leaving aside the questions whether it would benefit us, what makes you think LLM won’t bring about technical singularity? Because, you know, the word LLM doesn’t mean that much… It just means it’s a model, that is “large” (currently taken to mean many parameters), and is capable of processing languages.

Don’t you think whatever that will bring about the singularity, will at the very least understand human languages?

So can you clarify, what is it that you think won’t become AGI? Is it transformer? Is it any models that trained in the way we train llms today?

Well, you described pretty well what llms were trained to do. But from there you can’t derive how they are doing it. Maybe they don’t have real knowledge, or maybe they do. Right now literally no one can definitively claim one way or the other, not even top of the field ML researchers. (They may have opinions though)

I think it’s perfectly justified to hate AI, but it’s better to have a less biased view of what it is.

I wonder how religious people reconcile their beliefs with things like this. Are the mistranslations interventions from God too?

Capitalism will monetize everything, even criticism of it.

And it’s kinda funny to see it breaks so many people’s brain.

Is it really so complicated to support them suing UK over OSA, without supporting the sites themselves?

I am not paying for this :)

you shouldn’t either

I remember seeing opinions like yours being super popular here pre-election. Really happy seeing the tides changing.

I am a specists, and I believe equal rights and dignity extend to all humans. And farm animals are not humans.

Now, obviously morality shifts as the society evolves so I am open to reconsider my position. Maybe the day we let farm animals vote will be the day I become vegan.

Pigouvian taxes

oh i didn’t even know there is a word for this class of taxes, thanks. i guess that’s why it felt intuitively wrong to me even though i can’t quite put my finger on it. maybe i just have a general aversion towards Pigouvian taxes.

Depends on how high you make the tax, lower priced car might offset that.

And gas tax also disproportionately affect the poorer population, for many of them cars are mandatory because of commuting, etc. And those who are well-off might just not care about the tax.

hmmmm, this feels wrong, but off the top of my head i don’t have many critics. but, like, what if the car makers just make very inefficient, but also very cheap cars? won’t people buy that instead?

I can see how 2 can be gamed by car makers, but I don’t know how I would fix it. Seems intuitive larger cars will use more fuel, e.g. can’t use the same standards on 18 wheelers and sedans.

Are there good alternatives? Is my intuition dead wrong

AI unfortunately

You are saying all those 90 million would have voted Kamala? Dude you are delulu
