This generation of leadership outsources and offshores things like it's a bodily function.

It's darkly hilarious that the red states won't even get the tiny local economic boost provided by having the concentration camps in their areas.

Agreed!

That's good medicine wasn't expensive enough already in this country.

The US was still #1 in manufacturing but China was getting close to overtaking us. I'm certain they will now.

"Just a joke" is the last bastion of cowards. Own your crappy opinions. You clearly think these things are something more than they are.

You a fan of Trump too? Do you just pick things to like based on how much they suck?

I remember when ads were considered a bad way to create a business model for a website. Now everyone just tries to stuff more ads into everything like they were doing with cheese in pizzas in the 90s.

I saw this shit in my RSS feed and swiped it read.

You were doing this bullshit all over the thread too in various forms. But I'm sure it's "just a joke" now.

Should be renamed things you may absolutely hate

Make American Gulags Again

How ironic you accuse “them” of dehumanizing people.

Dude, you're up two posts from here saying how people are LLMs.

I understand wanting to walk that back, but you did post it.

Just start up a signal chat. Make sure to include a journalist.

"You could imagine a world where.."

Sure, I can imagine a lot of things, and a lot of them will never materialize.

For some reason the dumbass "they want a new world order" people completely don't give a shit when Trump says almost exactly that verbatim and causes exactly that by being his tariff man self.

Fuck tariff man and everyone that voted for him.

My parents are boomers. Like a lot of boomers they have a pension. In addition, they're still getting social security checks. A pension for me isn't even a dream and I'll be lucky if social security is even around in twenty years.

So, pardon me if I'm a little flippant about some of the "screw you, I got mine" generation eating a bit of shit because they were attempting to draw income from volatile assets that you're supposed to be in when you are decades younger after voting overwhelmingly for a clown that said for months he'd blow up the market and then did as he promised.

It'll eventually come back around to screw me in the end anyway in the form of one disaster or another because I'm a millennial: born at exactly the right time to live through every financial, political, and constitutional crisis possible as well as to finance a Domino's pizza.

This anecdote has the makings of a "men will literally x instead of going to therapy" joke.

On a more serious note though, I really wish people would stop anthropomorphisizing these things, especially when they do it while dehumanizing people and devaluing humanity as a whole.

But that's unlikely to happen. It's the same type of people that thought the mind was a machine in the first industrial revolution, and then a CPU in the third...now they think it's an LLM.

LLMs could have some better (if narrower) applications if we could stop being so stupid as to inject them into places where they are obviously counterproductive.

This dumbass is convinced that humans are chatbots likely because chatbots are his only friends.

Can an LLM do something similar despite having never seen anything that isn’t a word or number?

No.

People are generally shit at understanding probabilities and even when they have a fairly strong math background tend to explain probablistic outcomes through anthropomorphism rather than doing the more difficult and "think-painy" statistical analysis that would be required to know if there was anything more to it.

I myself start to have thoughts that balatro is purposefully screwing me over or feeding me outcomes when it's just randomness and probability as stated.

Ultimately, it's easier (and more fun) for us to think that way and it largely serves us better in everyday life.

But these things are entire casinos' worth of probability and statistics in and of themselves, and the people developing them want desperately to believe that they are something more than pseudorandom probabilistic fancy autocomplete engines.

A lot of the folks at the forefront of this have paychecks on the line. Add the difficulty of getting someone to understand how something works when their salary depends on them not understanding it to the existing inability of humans to reason probabilistically and the AGI from LLM delusion becomes near impossible to shake for some folks.

I wouldn't be surprised if this AI hype bubble yields a cult in the end.
