Yakima Washington? Like from the hit children’s sitcom directed by famous sex pest Dan Snyder and aired on Nickelodeon iCarly starring Miranda Cosgrove and Jeanette McCurdy? Wow real life really mimics fiction sometimes. Wholesome 100.

Like my mans you created a sophisticated text prediction model and grafted onto it a fake personality. You didn’t give it the ability to actually comprehend anything. Reasoning models are just extensions of this text prediction system and still don’t actually simulate thoughts.

Llms have gotten quite decent at producing the correct answer to queries represented enough in their data set but these big ai companies are trying to compensate for the fact their models can’t think by shoving more and more data into them and then wondering why they seemingly lie.

Josie ジョシー　🇵🇸 @josieweather.bsky.social · 20h

The best avenue critique is saying that these companies are grafting on a human like personality to a statistical model that that by its very nature can’t know what is correct and what is incorrect. And this is causing people to believe this auto complete is their friend

It’s probably not a good thing that a lot of the AI skeptical crowd has triangulated on the exact same anthropomorphized features when critiquing AI as the crazy religious tech Bros. I often see people saying these bots lie. Issue, lying, implies intentionality, which they don’t have.

I didn’t think the us government was so incompetent as to stop funding their own propaganda arm and yet here we are.

If we lived in a just society the creators of this app would be put in solitary confinement and never allowed contact with anyone ever again.

I would be willing to believe she was legitimately misled had she not obstinately argued with anyone who explained to her exactly what she is now saying.

Josie ジョシー　🇵🇸 @josieweather.bsky.social · 1d

So what I’m saying is whether or not you are correct (you aren’t) the rhetoric you are engaging in is only going to hurt your cause further.

Josie ジョシー　🇵🇸 @josieweather.bsky.social · 1d

Like you can try to create some sort of equivalence between the kids on college campuses mad their tax dollars fund genocide and hardened white supremacist neonazis, that’s your call, but don’t be surprised when that only galvanizes their dislike for Israel and delegitimizes antisemitism accusations

All I’m gonna tell you is the far left has little institutional power and it was the adl and similar groups that decided to ally with the right wing over shared support of Israel, with the left wing correctly pointing out how that would end. And fwiw not all leftists are defending Platner.

Wow finally justice. He gets to live the rest of his life as a normal ultra wealthy private citizen instead of getting taxpayer money. Truly the real justice has been served.

Josie ジョシー　🇵🇸 @josieweather.bsky.social · 1d

So what you are telling me is that it is the open neonazis and not the progressives on campus that turned out to be the real threat to Jewish safety in this country? Who could have ever seen this one coming, truly an unbelievable turn of events.

Mitch McConnell gets to go on Twitter act the hero as if was his lack of spine that didn’t cause this to begin with.

Josie ジョシー　🇵🇸 @josieweather.bsky.social · 1d

I am not sure I can. Under a neoliberal capitalist system ai is doing what everything does. It is being developed largely in the service of eventually being useful for capital accumulation and any other legitimate scientific usage of it is being sidelined in the name of capital. Idk.

Josie ジョシー　🇵🇸 @josieweather.bsky.social · 1d

How am I supposed to square my appreciation for the technology and maths behind it with the fact that it is being piloted by the most nihilistic sociopathic billionaires that essentially control the whole world? Idk. Maybe ask for regulations, but the internet industry has avoided those for decades

Josie ジョシー　🇵🇸 @josieweather.bsky.social · 1d

It’s all just incredibly depressing. Like the internet as a whole. Once hailed as the great democratizer it has now become nothing more than a massive privately run surveillance state built to serve ads to you as efficiently as possible. Ai as it exists is just making that more efficient.

Josie ジョシー　🇵🇸 @josieweather.bsky.social · 1d

Humans as a whole can’t handle this shit responsibly. Humans are incapable of using this technology with the slightest amount of care. They are fundamentally unable to understand its limitations and what it can and can’t do. And capitalists at the top are all too willing to market it anyway.

I generally try to keep a positive tone on ai in general because I legitimately think the technology behind it is really cool, and the mathematics of it is fascinating. But I ain’t gonna lie, seeing Fox News presenting racist sora generated black woman as a real video to their audience is idk.

Mamdani is the first chance for foundational change in the Democratic Party since Bernie sanders. Will him winning stop trumps fascism? I think it’s possible but too late. But if cuomo wins fascism wins because you teach democrats that actual gutter racism is an electable position.

Frankly it is absurd to me that financial analysts can look at a market that’s sentiment can flip several percentage points in a day based off of whether or not the fed signals cheap loans and still come to the conclusion the economy is on a solid foundation.

Josie ジョシー　🇵🇸 @josieweather.bsky.social · 1d

These people assume that the loss of wealth once the ai bubble pops will largely be relegated to ai. The rest of the economy is healthy and robust. But what is going to happen when all this debt is due and the stock market loses historic valuation?

Josie ジョシー　🇵🇸 @josieweather.bsky.social · 1d

I notice this, let’s call it trend amongst financial analysts, where they kind of refuse to reckon with the fact that the modern economy is a debt fueled mess that’s entire prospects are based off of cheap access to loans, and basically the entire economy is over leveraged everywhere.
