I've been saying this since LLMs first started gaining traction - their entire model of "intelligence" is based on outdated neurological theories which have BEEN outdated for a long time, and which they cling to despite their obvious falseness because they imply making AGI is easier than the reality
I’ve been running around asking tech execs and academics if language was the same as intelligence for over a year now - and, well, it isn’t. @benjaminjriley.bsky.social explains how the bubble is built on ignoring cutting-edge research into the science of thought www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

"what's the most useless video game trivia you know" -- one of the sci-fi alien screen textures in half-life 2 just uses a screenshot from a (surprisingly OK) Star Trek 4x game called Birth of the Federation... the Combine Advisor is playing as the Romulans, on turn 363

kinda hate the word "wealthy" because it just feels like a euphemism for rich, something rich people don't like acknowledging because it means they're hoarding resources and exploiting people imo

when I was younger pre-internet, my family had a computer running windows 95 and I would spend hours playing around with settings because I was fascinated by it. fast forward to teen me getting internet, using Ubuntu, learning Bash, Python, and HTML/CSS/JS, and realizing I really like this stuff

Watching an episode of ER called "Love's Labor Lost" (1995) for my medical terminology class and, fuck, this still is basically like a renaissance painting or something. Even without knowing the plot of the episode you can read what everybody's feeling, the composition crazy

Since you guys seem to like it when I'm autistic about type, here's a niche opinion I feel strongly about:
The Ubuntu typeface is one of the ugliest things I've ever seen and I get unnecessarily irritated whenever I see it used on websites or in print. I have tried to like it but I literally cannot.

This is interesting and absolutely makes sense when you think about it. Poetry is not something that can really be replicated solely by syntax without semantic understanding, you need some level of independent creativity unless it's something very formulaic about a very specific topic
Looks like LLMs are *very* vulnerable to attack via poetic allusion: "curated poetic prompts yielded high attack-success rates (ASR), with some providers exceeding 90% ..."

the other day I got in the train at the same stop as a beautiful well-dressed queer(?) guy with some of the most gorgeous, thick curly hair I've ever seen. we looked at eachother for a moment then he took out a book and started reading. can never tell when a glance is an invitation or just a glance

can we acknowledge that Futura is superior to Helvetica yet or will people get mad about that
An example of a Bauhaus-inspired geometric sans-serif typeface is Futura, which was influential in Helvetica that came after from Switzerland. Everybody lost their minds for in the 60s in the US and now it's everywhere and nobody can tell anything apart without the context of other letters

Created a paragraph to demonstrate accessibility issues for people who are dyslexic and things that commonly trip them up + commonly confused characters for job website design suggestions. I fear I may have made something too evil

hard not to take trans visibility/rememberance/etc posts that people/businesses/orgs make as performative bc it feels like such a low effort, last ditch attempt at seeming inclusive. maybe I'm just cynical and I've seen too much tragic stuff happen, even before this current media-created trans panic

Worked the Cadillac Palace Theatre tonight. Learned that they painted all the bronze interior decor white during WW2 so they didn't take the brass to make bullets, then forgot about it. When realized it was actually brass during a later restoration and returned it to it's original state lmao

going through the genetics unit in my 100 lvl bio class and the professor keeps talking about biological sex as if it's a strict binary. I've kinda pushed back and like idk I think this stuff is kinda more complex and also like very few people are actually tested for sexual variation but idk man
