Whats the best way to find a movie/short film title that was forgotten

  • We can use this post to start.

    Does anyone remember a movie from the 2010's set in New York where an unpopular kid in high school hooks up with a popular girl over the summer and he falls for her but it turns out she was just using him to get experience before going after more popular guys? I just remember they played Can I Kick It? and other old hip hop in the movie.

    • Promotional material

    Jump

  • In the US, especially in the 90's, there were a lot promotional mailers, TV ads, and so on to prey on people's desperation and ignorance that were sent out that would say that the person has "a chance to win $1M!" or "may have already won!"

    Of course, I've never heard of anyone who actually won anything from them. It was probably just a data collection thing or asking people to send $20 to enter the fake lottery, I'm not sure. But, I have to admit, I did join a lot of those because I was a kid and I thought it'd be fun or easy and my dad would humor me by going through the process—or, at least, pretend that he did. We never won anything though.

  • Honestly from my end as well. I wouldn't have entirely disagreed with you about a year ago. As much as I have always wished for a Palestinian one-state solution, it seemed out of reach realistically and like a dream.

    But that goes to show you. I was wrong and comrades were right to disagree with me. Each day we get closer to the Zionists going the way of Nazi Germany and Rhodesia. There is no way they will defeat Hezbollah, Ansrallah, and Iran in a full out war when they aren't even able to defeat Hamas. I don't even think the US will be able to turn the tides towards victory for them. If they go full out war and they lose, then that could lead to de-Zionification of Palestine. The material conditions, so far, make it possible for a free Palestine. Solidarity to the Palestinians and Lebanese in their struggle against the Zionist settlers.

    Of course, the Zionists may go down nukes blazing which is entirely a very real possibility.

  • But, ironically, the Chinese Room Argument you're bringing up supports what others are saying that LLMs do not 'understand' anything.

    It seems to me like you are establishing 'understanding' with a functionalist meaning to be able to say that input/output is equivalent to understanding in order to say the measurable process in itself shows 'understanding'. But that's not what Searle, and seemingly the others here, seem to mean by 'understanding'. As Searle argues, it is not purely the syntactic manipulation in question but the semantic. In other words, these LLMs do not "know" the information they provide, they are just repeating based off the input/output process with which they were programmed. LLMs do not project or internalize any meaning to the input/output process. If they had some reflexive consciousness and any 'understanding', then they could have critically approach the meaning of the information in order to assess its validity against facts rather than just naïvely proclaiming that cockroaches got their name because they like to crawl into penises at night. Do you believe LLMs are conscious?
