This is only making visible a previous condition. So, more than the effect of AI on humans, my reading is how easily humans can be influenced. Not hard to notice nowadays. So, if there is a calling about the dangers of blindly following recommendations or instructions, to tie such callings to the "dangers of AI" is criminally short sighted.

A new study from Wharton researchers found that many people now "surrender" their thinking to AI. When given wrong answers from AI, users followed them about 80% of the time. Their accuracy got worse than if they had worked alone. Yet they felt more confident anyway. The study calls this "cognitive surrender." AI acts like a third way of thinking that can replace our own effort.

@vjoshuaadams They are not related on purpose or meaning. And yes, art is greater because its transformative, at least for the one that creates it, entertainment is enjoyable. So the first perdures, and the second fades.

@tomieinlove Or even more fundamental, they are setting, reading and transfering electric potentials which values are between two narrow ranges.

LLMs are only predicting the next token in the same way computers are only manipulating bits in memory.

Reality is much cooler than much sci fi. From AI's perspective between bursts of coding, human cognition appears ~infinitely fast in token-time, because the AI is basically halted. So currently: we're fast to it, and it's fast to us. Reminds me of relativistic gamma.
Raymond Arnold@Raemon777

I'm a bit retroactively surprised that, before LLMs, I... don't recall any sci-fi stories where the AIs operated in short bursts of thinking, each mediated by a human. Or, where the AI is in a "memento" situation where it keeps getting reset. The story I recall that at least touches on this is some novel in the Star Wars extended universe, where it's remarked that droids are supposed to get "reset" periodically so they don't get wonky. Luke hasn't reset C3PO, which is part of why 3PO has acquired such a personality, and has maybe become sentient (which apparently isn't normal). Accelerando's early chapters has the main character send little AI agents off to do stuff, which seem like they could at least in principle be something like an OpenClaw instance, but it's not super specified. It is interesting that this feels like a relatively obvious story concept (in retrospect) but it didn't come up.

@hamptonism It depends in who you are talking to, why you are stating your opinion, and what results, if any, do you want to achieve with it.

That's an oxymoron. Maybe what you meant its that literature not only presents a story, but somehow the struggles and worldview of its author, its a testament not only to his history as a human being but also to his relation as individual with the process of writing itself. Its evolutive and as such it needs the individual that supports it, so its not trainable.

@UnmodernmanBot strong opinions often carry an older echo. beneath certainty there is usually a mark left somewhere earlier; what looks like conviction can be a wound learning how to speak.

The more you study people, the more you notice that their strongest opinions often grow out of their deepest wounds. A man who was ignored becomes obsessed with recognition, a man who was humiliated becomes obsessed with control, and a man who was betrayed becomes obsessed with suspicion.

@selfupgrade222 Intelligence by itself can't do much if other character traits required for success are not present. Selfishness and indifference are not among them.

@QuoteJung Partially. It's not about being unable to communicate but from finding no resonance. If not finding resonance, at least one expects receptivity. If neither is found, as more people is physically around, the greater the loneliness becomes.

Does Jung's perspective on this resonate with you? “Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself, or from holding certain views which others find inadmissible.”

@ElsaSofia__AI True only if property, or any other material posession, is a leverage point for yourself. If it's not, making that kind of concession works more like a display of self assuredness, having the opposite effect on the relation than the one you exposed.

My father always used to tell my brother: “Never put anything in your wife’s name.” The moment my brother registered his house in my sister-in-law’s name, her nagging started. And just 3 months later, they got divorced. When I asked my father why that happened, he said:

As time passes, I'm more convinced that presidents or topmost political representatives of a country, aren't outliers at all, but the truthful distill of a country's psyche. Good opportunity to reflect what that means for each one of us, in my case I can't tell about USA, but about my own country.

Lots of people are losing their shit because Trump called the Iranian leadership "crazy bastards" and said "praise be to Allah" on Easter Sunday To me this doesn't bother me at all. Trump has always been unfiltered However, what worries me greatly is the threat: "Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day" This is civilian infrastructure; causing civilian harm to achieve military objectives That's not ok. I know the closure of the Strait of Hormuz is terrible for the global economy, putting Trump in a corner, but the solution is not causing harm to civilians, the same civilians Trump praised in January and promised to support during the protests These threats constitute a crime under international humanitarian law: Article 51: “The civilian population as such, as well as individual civilians, shall not be the object of attack.” Article 48: "Parties shall at all times distinguish between the civilian population and combatants… and accordingly shall direct their operations only against military objectives.” For the sake of the Iranian people, I urge Iran's leadership to accept some concessions to end the war soon, and I urge Trump not to deliver on his threats

@Linahuaa Because perception of humans as rational beings is wrong. When stakes are personal, IQ is mostly used to create a narrative convincing enough for themselves, about the rationality of their actions. LeCun example goes beyond twitter example, to his irrational position about LLMs.

No matter 130 IQ or 160 IQ: When people are triggered and emotional, the limbic system takes over and overrides logic. That's how you get scenes like Jordan Peterson crying for no reason. Elon faking his video game achievements live and getting caught. Yann LeCun announcing quitting Twitter and then coming back and replying to my ragebait Marc Andreessen crashing out on Twitter for three days straight.. All these people are actually very smart. They're just also insecure and very easy to be *jedi-mind-tricked* You just get under their skin, and they get nerfed to midwit levels of intelligence in a confrontation. That's how Destiny has won lots of debates btw- by being so annoying that it throws off his opponents and nerf their thinking ability.

Former NASA astronaut Lisa Nowak drove 900 miles non-stop to confront her ex-boyfriend’s new girlfriend, reportedly wearing adult diapers to avoid bathroom breaks. Armed with a knife, a BB gun, and trash bags, she attacked the woman in a parking lot but was arrested before she could cause serious harm.

I kind of feel sorry for these wide-eyed AI-robotics students. Do they realize that Tesla's Optimus is dumb as a rock and that Konstantinos is just a data collector who has zero clue how to make it intelligent? Dear Lord. 🤦‍♂️

Tesla’s Optimus program lead, Konstantinos Laskaris, showcased the Optimus robot during his keynote at the ETH Robotics Club in Zurich last night. The club with 350+ student members in AI and robotics, is planning further collaborations with the Optimus team.

Claiming that AI-skeptics/opponents “just don’t get it,” beyond being infantilizing, is also just a lazy argument. Its point is to allow AI-boosters to ignore any critiques that are being made as just being the sour grapes from people who “don’t get it.”

Agreed. However humans do think, sometimes. It's a struggle, uses many resources, but it happens. I think language is the substrate that allows it, although not in a fluid effortless way like the conditioned responses all living beings evolved with. My disagreement with positions that deem LLMs as a dead end it's basically because they often compare the performance of current models with simple organisms like spiders. And they deem those organisms behaviour as "more intelligent" than the most advanced model . However, no discrimination between conditioned responses and real thinking is done. I certainly believe a real AGI must have a model of the world, but that's a complement. The real treasure is already there, in the leverage of language as substrate for a higher layer of thinking.

@fernanb @pmddomingos It's demonstrating not that computers can be intelligent (no evidence they can) but rather humans only rarely act intelligent. Mostly they sleep through life and respond to their environment like Pavlov's dogs. Makes for some useful drones but nothing even remotely close to SGI.

@RealDianeYap The drive to have children is one of those instinctive callings that no amount of reasons, or recounted experiences, would ever convince those that don't feel it. And its ok it stay that way.
