  • Why? Per the poll: “a lack of reliability.” The things being sold as “agents” don’t … work.

    Vendors insist that the users are just holding the agents wrong. Per Bret Taylor of Sierra (and OpenAI):

    Accept that it is imperfect. Rather than say, “Will AI do something wrong”, say, “When it does something wrong, what are the operational mitigations that we’ve put in place to deal with it?”

    I think this illustrates the situation of the LLM market pretty well, not just at a shallow level of the base incentives of the parties at play, but also at a deeper level, showing the general lack of humanity and toleration of dogshit exhibited by the AI companies that they are trying to brainwash everyone with.

  • What would some good unifying demands be for a hostile takeover of the Democratic party by centrists/moderates?

    me, taking this at face value, and understanding the political stances of the democrats, and going by my definition of centrist/moderate that is more correct than whatever the hell Kelsey Piper thinks it means: Oh, this would actually push the democrats left.

    Anyway, jesus christ I regret clicking on that name and reading. How the fuck is anyone this stupid. Vox needs to be burned down.

  • Feh. True AI adherents know that it is simply time to claim that AI has outgrown measurement designed for human minds (e.g. mental impairment tests) and require new tests for machine intelligence (trenchcoat volume tests). Of course these tests are yet to be invented and will obviously require billions of your human dollars for development.

  • when I think about it more, what I don’t like is how insistent WPs are. Like what’s being communicated to me is “hey this is a good story idea, now you write it so you can prove my point!!!” You aren’t my editor, pal!

  • guy chooses never to take in feedback or think about how to git gud at writing so every time he spurts out more sludge it’s just more infinite degrees of fractal bad.

    Why the fuck is it in bad script form? MAN: WOMAN: MAN: WOMAN: just fucking name them! There’s like ten names in the text, just fucking do it, you shit!

    FWIW the only way to read yudkowskian dialogue is to imagine yud as each character wearing a different wig for that character. No distinctions in voice though, none are apparent in the text.

  • Also, shit writing prompt. I haven’t seen a writing prompt online that I didn’t hate. “Hey wouldn’t it be neat if someone wrote about this premise???”

    Writing prompt: Day one at the dildo factory

    shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up
