  • I don't even think that matters much, right? Current LLMs already out-compete humans at many tasks. I think we're already past the threshold, at least in some regards. That is to say, I don't think there is a hard line because it depends on what your testing criteria are.

  • The courts are corrupt, you joker. At the end of the day, big cases go to the supreme court, which is stocked full of completely corrupt people (and you know this!). Your "nuance" is part of the reason we are here, having to take drastic action.

    You are blind if you think that peaceful, government-condoned protests will change a fucking thing.

    This isn't the 1960's. Those in charge have learned from those lessons. Drastic change is not peaceful, but it is exactly what we need. Protest SHOULD be disruptive, like strikes, which actually affect change! While those protesting (actual patriots, take notes) are risking their lives (literally), you're slightly inconvenienced. Fuck off.

    I'd take anarchy over the goddamn passive bullshit you're spewing any day of the week, and I'm not alone. Trump will not be president again; not in my lifetime.

  • No, the point is that there are not effective ways to protest anymore, by design! And the way I felt on January 6th was pure rage! I have zero sympathy for these fuckers.

    You can sit by and watch the country crumble and succumb to corruption. I won't, and millions more won't either. Sorry you can't get to work on time, but look at the bigger picture.

    Defending the police state... what a chode.

  • So when it happens, you'll change your mind? My point is that what we have today is based on interactions in the human brain: neural networks. You can say, "They're just guessing the next word based on mathematical models", but isn't that exactly what you're doing?

    Point to the reason why what comes out of your mouth is any different. Is it because your network is bigger and more complicated? If that's the case GPT-4 is closer to being human than GPT-3 was, being a larger model.

    I just don't get your point at all.

  • Just saw this today. You should check it out, nitwit: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2023/aug/15/scientists-reconstruct-pink-floyd-song-by-listening-to-peoples-brainwaves

    Edit: "nitwit" was uncalled for, but I do think you are an ignorant person.

    You aren't magical. You don't have a soul that talks to Jesus. You're a bunch of organized electrical signals—a machine. Because your machine is carbon-based doesn't make you special.

    Edit: Downvote all you want, but we're all still animals. Most people don't even believe that simple fact. Then again, most people don't even understand how their cellphone works.

  • Maybe some dickhole shouldn't have claimed he won an election that he clearly lost, taking advantage of stupid people and severing the country. What, we should sit back and let the country fall completely to corruption? Fuck off with your trash take.

  • That's fair. Adding to my point, with the wealth of information future people will have at their disposal, it could be possible to recreate this time era. That is, to simulate entire cities or countries. Who knows what tech they'll have or what they'll want to do with it. My point is that the info from this time period, between the advent of the internet and the widespread use of quantum-safe crypto, will be easily accessible to them, and contains such an accurate record of our daily activities. I've had the same email address since 2005 and have never deleted messages, so my email alone could probably be used to create a pretty accurate model of a large chunk of my life. Cross-reference that with the information the people I associate with left behind and they definitely could create such a model.

    And, adding further, if you were inclined to create such a simulation, you'd likely want to simulate as many people as possible so that the simulation was as realistic as possible.

  • I think about this often. I think that Millennials, and especially Gen Z, will be the best-documented lives in history. Almost everything you've ever done online is sitting on a hard drive somewhere. Once the encryption schemes are broken, posterity will have full access to all of it. They'll probably study us for hundreds of years—possibly thousands (if we even make it that far as a species).

    I've also wondered if all of that data collected about a person could be used to recreate them—a digital copy. It probably wouldn't be perfect, but I bet it would be close enough to be useful.

    I'm definitely not excited for people to have access to and study my college Facebook account :⁠-⁠P

  • It is crazy that this isn't a United States problem, either. All one has to do is look to Australia, Canada, and the UK to see that fascism is rampant. I'm looking for those brightest minds, because I'm certainly not one of them.

  • Ah, yes, totally not written by one of her parents. I hate this kind of crap. She noticed that it wasn't underlined, and they did the rest. Why is this news? No 4-yo. spells "tragedy".
