The way they talk about something like “emergent property” as a mysterious, all-powerful, unknowable force of infinite potential that flows from the AI/ML models. They really want to cast these systems as wild techno-magick. It’s so disconnected from material reality.
Tsarathustra@tsarnick

Alex Karp says there is a fundamental fallacy around AI language models, and that is how they are conflated with data when in fact they are an emergent property

@DannyDrinksWine Every time Saxer says "fressen" it is translated as "eat" which does not quite convey the feeling of the word. "Fressen" is a word used to describe an animal eating. Using the word when talking with a human is an act of dehumanizing the receiver.

@maxbsawicky @TheNewRepublic Thanks for documenting how the republicans in Virginia tried to start something out of nothing. The quote from the student news paper was *chefs kiss*

There must've been a decent number of rural Midwestern misfit teens listening to Green Day's American Idiot in the early 00s wearing spikes and black clothes and stuff, triggering the pearl-clutchers, and what ever happened to them? What jobs? What politics?

@LifeOnaPlate I'm like, "my brother in Christ, you are political whether you recognize it or not." If you fail to acknowledge your own beliefs, you are handing your political power over to someone else's political causes.

@LifeOnaPlate "unwillingness ... to clarify values" is a key observation. I had a professor who used to say, "A moderate is just someone who has not thought about a problem very long" and I hear their words every time someone says, "I am not really political"

As a former centrist/beyondist, I hereby testify that my brief flirtation with both-sidesism was rooted in an unwillingness to actually make a difficult decision, to clarify my own values, or to put anything on the line for marginalized people.
Natalie Wynn@ContraPoints

This empty centrism cannot conceive of systemic power, of the legislative, institutional, and stochastic terror threats wielded against LGBT people. In assessing the "trans debate" it has no standard but civility by which to judge the merits of "both sides."

I obtained surveillance footage of the self-driving Tesla that abruptly stopped on the Bay Bridge, resulting in an eight-vehicle crash that injured 9 people including a 2 yr old child just hours after Musk announced the self-driving feature. Full story: theintercept.com/2023/01/10/tes…

I asked OpenAI to write a letter to my son explaining that Santa isn’t real and we make up stories out of love. This is making me slightly emotional 🥹

After self-hosting my email for twenty-three years I have thrown in the towel 😩 Email is now an oligopoly, a service gatekept by a few big companies which does not follow the principles of net neutrality.
