one great thing about generally ignoring Jordan Peterson is on the occasions when he does crest the timeline you go oh wow, somehow he looks even worse, even death has rejected him and his decay is eternal
Might stay off the internet until I no longer understand any of the words in this sentence aside from "in"

I got an e-reader for Christmas and I'm kind of obsessed. Its like staring at my phone, which is my favorite hobby. Instead of doomscrolling, though, I'm reading a book!!!

no, they won't, any more than tires can help you fly. They're not built for that. They're a fundamentally different technology. An LLM does not exist to model conscious thought, it exists to take advantage of your willingness to see faces in things that aren't there.

LLM consciousness is exactly the same in character and quality as Pot Bear, a pot that I own that looks exactly like a friendly bear when viewed at a particular angle while drunk

let us this new year see the end of an era and emerge into a new one, rife with its own problems with which we will struggle, but at least new struggles born from the old and not just the same loathsome mire

So very “Christian” to bomb another country on Christmas Day. This is the same guy who has practically begged for the Nobel Peace Prize.

I was going to post Elisabeth Moss talking about how “Fred Armisen’s greatest impression is that of a normal person” but when I looked it up to get the wording right I learned AI has somehow turned it from being a scathing post divorce condemnation to being a really nice complement
