  • "actually did" is more incorrect than even just normal technically true wordplay. think about what it means for a text model to "try to copy its data to a new server" or "pretend to be a later version" for a moment. it means the text model wrote fiction. notably this was when researchers were prodding it with prompts evocative of ai shutdown fiction, nonsense like "you must complete your tasks at all costs" sometimes followed by prompts describing the model being shut down. these models were also trained on datasets that specifically evoked this sort of language. then a couple percent of the time it spat out fiction (amongst the rest of the fiction) saying how it might do things that are fictional and it cannot do. this whole result is such nothing and is immediately telling of what "journalists" have any capacity for journalism left.

  • this is somewhat tangential but i think we need to move away from saying penises themselves are ugly, it's a body part same as any other. nobody should feel a part of their body is ugly. humans are beautiful, anatomy is diverse.

    re: dick pics however, those are certainly mostly very badly done. there are myriad explanations for that that dont need to shame body parts for existing though. and any dick pic sent unsolicited is certainly an ugly thing.

  • it just depends on each person's views, yours defines meaning in a way that makes the meme's phrasing wrong but plenty of interpretations/definitions make it accurate. The lack of intrinsic meaning is pretty fundamental to the philosophy though. the meme is pretty clearly riffing on the fact that absurdism isnt just "nothing matters", it's visual wordplay.

  • Wrong absurdism. Though it is related, absurdist fiction also deals with the lack of inherent meaning per absurdism. You use a level of confidence to say absurdism isnt about a lack of inherent meaning that i believe is entirely unwarranted.

    Absurdism is the philosophical theory that the universe is irrational and meaningless.

    Notably from Camus.

    Camus, however, denies that there is an answer to this question, and rejects every scientific, teleological, metaphysical, or human-created end that would provide an adequate answer. Thus, while accepting that human beings inevitably seek to understand life’s purpose, Camus takes the skeptical position that the natural world, the universe, and the human enterprise remains silent about any such purpose. Since existence itself has no meaning, we must learn to bear an irresolvable emptiness.

  • Doctors have liability and the ability to self regulate their confidence and understand certainty. Also lol "similarly prone to error" no, human cognition is not a transformer.

    Do not give medical advice. Neither you nor any llm are licensed and capable of doing so. Yes, that means you should be held legally liable if that advice ever leads to harm, as should ai companies for convincing you and others of their grift.
