"AI was created to fool the Turing test" absolutely nails the problem with LLMs. It's not been built as a tool that can actually provide any value, it's been built to beat an arbitrary requirement that doesn't actually have any useful applications.
Ai was created to fool the Turing test, so all it does is trick you into believing it's thinking. It's the one thing it does well.
Also I’m sorry but I don’t think this is Claude developing a personality or ethical values. It is *simulating* those things because that is what humans value and reward. The programmers are falling for their own Clever Hans trick!

Years back I did a Computer Science workshop in a school, and a little write up they did in a local paper repeated my refrain of "computers are idiots"
Good one to keep in mind every time the AI freaks convince themselves the computer is thinking. It's not. It's an idiot.

if you played sonic the hedgehog and put down the controller, sonic would look at you and tap his foot impatiently. this was proof that sega genesis cartridges had souls. the decision was made to make the storage cases a lot larger than the cartridges so they would have room to move around in there

There's some grumpy people about tonight, we just wanted to give a little credit to the recruitment team. Daniel Farke has rightfully had a lot of praise, so only fair to give some their way too.
Especially with solid numbers like these.

It really sucks that Microsoft sunk its claws into so much of the game industry and is attached to a ton of games I wanna play.
What sucks even more is supporting genocide, which is something Microsoft loves doing. I’m very in favor of Microsoft fucking off until it stops loving genocide so much.
