It's the endpoint of enshitification. Facebook and IG are like that for me. I don't see anybody that I know or the thousands of accounts that I follow. It's almost completely ads, suggested, and inflammatory content.
If both agents selected the same name, they earned a reward; if not, they received a penalty and were shown each other's choices. Agents only had access to a limited memory of their own recent interactions—not of the full population—and were not told they were part of a group. Over many such interactions, a shared naming convention could spontaneously emerge across the population, without any central coordination or predefined solution
Lol. The "central coordination" is provided by the humans who set this up. If people "reward" and "penalize" computers for making different choices, is there any surprise when they converge on the same choice?
Grifters gotta get that grant/VC money somehow...
We are entering a world where AI does not just talk—it negotiates, aligns, and sometimes disagrees over shared behaviours, just like us.
Fuck off with this anthropomorphic pseudo-science.
Because marriage is the problem not the solution. The state should have no role in enforcing religious ceremonies and privileging those who participate. The idea of "marriage equality" is complete bullshit since marriage overtly favors religion, hetero-normativity, etc. Fuck the state. Fuck religion. Fuck their marriage.
Fuck homophobes too ofc, but "marriage equality" is a problem not a solution. Delusional headline.
Ignore the “AGI” hype—LLMs are still fancy autocomplete. All they do is predict a sequence of tokens—but it turns out writing code is mostly about stringing tokens together in the right order, so they can be extremely useful for this provided you point them in the right direction.
I'm just super happy to see someone talking about LLMs realistically without the "AI" bullshit.
If LLMs help people code, then that's great. But stop with the hype, grifting, etc. Kudos to this author for a reasonable take. Extremely rare.
Yeah a problem with exploiting people's health for profit is that the exploitation and profits are much more important than the health... And nobody gives a shit about the privacy, security, etc. of the victims.
In the long run it's much easier and cheaper to pay a ransom, pay lawyers, etc. than to maintain a secure and modern information system in defense of the victims.
Checking out and letting things happen is primarily for people who believe in politicians. It's for people who believe in voting. Just vote for your team every couple years and you'll be a "good citizen". It's a major foundation of the state.
