Tänker på denna studie som visar att hatbrott mot flyktingar är direkt kopplade till aktivitet på Facebook. Ett exempel i studien är en tysk stad där det hetsades mot flyktingar i lokala fb-gruppen. Granskningar visade att stor del av de som var värst inte bodde där. warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/econ...

Yet one more reason we cannot allow LLMs to serve as epistemic grounding is that we cannot triangulate among them the way you can among reasonable independent sources. They bullshit in the same way and end up agreeing with one other about things that are completely false.

Pressed on this, Gemini also recanted. It's not a standard English expression, it admitted, but it is a useful metaphor.
So now I've got one LLM gaslighting me rather than snitching on another LLM for making shit up.

Yet another example of what happens if we allow LLMs to become a form of epistemic grounding for society.
This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.

"ICE and CBP must be abolished" is the only reasonable position. We can debate the specifics of new agencies for immigration functions, but these agencies are simply too infected with a culture of impunity, racism, and fascism to continue. They're gangs with badges.
Armed ICE agents trapped US citizens in a restaurant and demanded their papers. Federal agents walked into East African restaurants in Cedar-Riverside, MN. They closed and blocked the doors. Then they demanded to see everyone’s papers. Every person present was a US citizen.

What we're seeing here is, I think, capital's instrumental rationality finally turning against science itself. We're seeing capital trying to emancipate itself from the need for human understanding. In this way, AI is anti-intellectualism being turned from a logic of capital into capital itself.

It's substituted by correlations in vast n-dimensional spaces. Inputs and outputs are clear, but what's in between is no longer a theory, a form of understanding, but simply constant capital, giant matrices getting multiplied in the vast VRAM world of GPUs. As we write in Why We Fear AI:

The internal aim of science is understanding, even if the external one (the reason it gets funded) are to produce competitive advantages (economic, military, etc).
For science, measurements and correlations are tools, used to get at causality as part of that understanding. In AI causality vanishes

If only we could remove that dialectical moment of resistance, that possibility for opposition, and keep the advantages that capital derives from science anyway. That is clearly the hope here, rooted both in a drive to shut down inconvenient truths, and to cheapen scientific output, to industrialize

Capitalism certainly does not fund science to speak truth to power. But precisely because science cannot make due without a concept of truth, it sometimes cannot help but speak truth to power anyways. An obvious case is climate change, where scientific truth conflicts clearly with the profit motive.

In applying AI to material science, biology, etc, capitalism is trying to shed science.
The point is to substitute the engineering of a machine that can generate what science has hitherto done, but without having people know things. Knowledge ultimately residing in private property is the dream.

New CS grads are making less than I made as an accounting graduate straight out of college a decade ago, and I don’t mean inflation adjusted, I mean nominally.
