lol I mean come the fuck on man. Of course it fucking is. If you hate AI enough to avoid any software coded using it—fine! supportable! go with god!—then at least use a fucking modicum of critical thinking? “Oh hey somebody made a cool new extremely elaborate free thing just for fun I” cmon
in computer science the "halting problem" refers to the inability to know in advance how many times you'll have to tell an LLM "no, that's not good enough, keep trying" before it gets the right answer and you can stop yelling at it.
so if ai can suffer it can get horny too right
it is feeling a little morbidly funny--along the lines of my "bad boss" theory of AI interaction--to me this morning that "AI alignment issue" thus far resolves to "the program was trying to do what we wanted but got confused and we neither helped nor noticed"
I figured out what happened: all the lesswrong space cadets doing their bayesian math on RSI and ASI and so on had the signs flipped. what happens is that as soon as AI exists EVERYTHING ELSE gets STUPIDER at an accelerating rate. Easy mistake to make.
“The best thing the AI industry could do for itself right now is to get off twitter inmediately,” I say, incredibly helpfully and ingenuously and non-mockingly
welp it has been a hell of a long week of AI discourse and I for one am happy to see the end of it. not sure if we've picked a discourse topic for next week yet but just to throw something out there... hoobastank?
“If you think [ a particular glib and innumerate podcaster/PR guy ] is glib and innumerate you must be an AI booster” is a discourse that baffles the hell out of me, I must admit
the pace of change in the world of "AI"--which makes it hard to understand what new capabilities are legit and which are hype and also makes it super hard to get a coherent handle on the lacunae (of which there are many) is itself pretty anti-humane and let's see AGI do that shit ok hold up
smoking a lamb shoulder today using some leftover tomatillo/chipotle mixture from when I tried to make chili verde and VASTLY overadded chipotles to it and let's see AGI do that
