@nprofile…ds5l @nprofile…h9qy I'm not convinced, do you have anything I could read about this (wrt humans)?
When I learned AI at uni, it was about producing new true/false statements from an existing knowledge base using algebraic rules (modus ponens and its friends), so at first I didn’t think LLMs could be considered AI. Since then I reevaluated, considering:
1. that the majority of my knowledge doesn't come from applying logic or from "first principles" at all, but from communicating with other people
1.a there's even an additional parallel here since I apply "weights" to information depending on how much I trust the source
2. that I learned many reasoning tasks ("proof by induction") by seeing examples transmitted to me almost exclusively through language
3. that teaching often involves analogies and figures of speech, which are a feature of language, and often work better than raw logic
To be clear I'm not trying to convince you, I'm just explaining what I thought so you can point me in the right direction!

@nprofile…h9qy @nprofile…ds5l could you please elaborate?
My intuition around this is that "it was language that eventually produced what we call reason in humans, so it makes sense that language based systems got there too (even if not very efficiently)"

The other day I read a QT (might have been a reply), a joke in the format "but my [flawed concept that the original post contradicts]"
I picture a sad Winnie the Pooh holding something broken and I love it, and in my mind the person writing thinks of *themselves* as sad Winnie.
But now I just used this format and it occurred to me that it could be interpreted as "lol you made the stupid people that like this concept sad". Considering this was on the bird site, the "meaner" meaning seems more likely
If I remembered/had liked the first "but my" post I saw, I could ask the author. But I don't and there is no way to search for it.
Seeing something in passing and wishing I could revisit later happens so often I wish there was a full record (it can be local! I'll spend my own computation power for this!) of every post I *looked at* so that I could search.
I've been bookmarking more stuff in hopes of improving this, but apparently not enough.

@nprofile…0g46 do you think IP owners should be allowed to stop their work from being used to train models?
This idea makes me think of an (absurd) parallel "people with good memories should not be allowed to read my book because they might memorize some of it". You can sue someone for profitting off your IP, but not forbid them from consuming it.

@nprofile…0g46 I agree that there is a class thing, but I'm not so sure Moore's law will help. I think most people are not willing to run their own models, even if it becomes cheap enough.
But yeah, I tend to think about trained models as "capital" and I feel it's better for society if we all own some of it. A bit like social media & mastodon too.

@nprofile…tdva I see you've decided to do poetry's bidding and try to distract me from its harms. It won't work, I know several things can be our enemies at once.

2025-01-20 20:01:24

I think like 30% of the AI hate is existential angst. Let's shift that hate towards the real enemy which is poetry.
Poetry lied to you! It hijacked your senses! It made you believe words were more than tools, and that a soul was required to handle them. They're not that special!

2025-01-19 18:54:14

I do get a feeling of "I told you so" hearing MZ speak of "masculine energy" too. It's not feminist to believe in "feminine x masculine energy" just because you praise the "feminine energy", and the side effect is people can now use your stupid, divisive, strong-gender-roles inspired language to say "yes I agree feminine energy is soooo different from masculine energy and it's bad to have too much of it"

2025-01-19 18:51:43

When feminists complain of the extra behavioural rules imposed on women some people complain we're "relinquishing our femininity" and that is bad™, adding rules like "don't make sexual comments about your coworkers" is "feminizing"...
Some people never got over "mommy won't let me do this" and decided "mommy" is now the most relevant part

2025-01-19 18:47:42

"Boys are forced to sit still at school" is seen as "feminization" but playing soldier, preaching discipline and deference is not
"You have to state your pronouns and can't say anything you want" is "feminization" but saying "your honor" in a court is not
I need someone to write a book comparing all these "feminized" rules and their counterparts in literally any situation where you have more than one human together

@nprofile…g7sf concordo com a ideia de manter o otimismo, mas acho que não dá pra negar o problema de ter quase tudo que consumimos online curado fora do nosso controle (pelos """algoritmos"""), em especial a dificuldade de aplicar filtros tecnicamente triviais (ordenar posts por data de publicação ou produtos pelo preço).
Gosto do framework do @nprofile…qz4x da #enshittification , as plataformas começam boas e úteis, e depois que arrecadam muitos usuários e os "prendem", deterioram. Acho que isso não acontecia na escala e velocidade que acontece hoje.

I think mom has an eating disorder but it's hard to sympathize because she is very annoying about it.
In a single day I heard
"The only way is to close your mouth"
"Your cousin exercises but they finally learned they need to close their mouth"
"Your other cousin put on a lot of weight, but I didn’t say anything"
"How come I [follow these 3292730 dieting rules] and my blood fat is still high"
"This won't fit you unless you lose some weight"
"Lucky we have to climb these stairs so we can spend the calories from lunch"
"My ideal weight is X but I used to be X + 1 and then I got X + 3 and 700g, so I closed my mouth"
"I heard from a doctor [youtube] we need to drink 600ml of water when we wake up"
"I heard from a doctor [youtube] we should eat veggies first, then protein, then carbs"
It took me so much energy not to say "stop being ridiculous". I settled for some light poking ("I'm sure if you add another 75 rules to your diet your blood fat will lower") and information ("Maybe you don't need to count grams of body weight because you're exercising, you might be gaining muscle")

I've recently learned of the word "longhouse", and I can't stop thinking about it.
It's amazing, these are people who claim women (or other groups) are playing victim, and then they do just that.
It's like when JP wrote a punk* song about Trudeau.
When leftists do it it's "they can't do art", but it works so they just do it too without batting an eye
* as in not carefully crafted and with counterculture aspirations

2024-12-29 02:26:05

I've heard from someone close to me (in separate occasions) that the world was too "feminized" and that he craved a war to fight.

@nprofile…23y3 é mais fácil apontar problemas do que fazer análise de custo-benefício, dá pra ficar pra sempre andando em círculos e não chegar em decisão nenhuma
Tenho uns amigos que andaram se dizendo "degrowers", a minha teoria é que isso vem desse foco nos custos ambientais dos métodos de geração de energia, sem uma definição clara de com quanto desses custos estamos dispostos a arcar, pensando no padrão de vida das pessoas
Outro exemplo é a rejeição visceral aos créditos de carbono por ser uma solução "financializada" ao invés de algo mais "holístico"

2024-12-25 06:32:31

Haven't slept decently in three days so I'm operating in "this is what I would do if I was 100%" mode. Like a slightly glitchy simulation of myself, where "myself" is at the same time something I strive to be and something I believe I already am under the right circumstances.
This generates some internal tension as I have to trust some past version of me that decided who we are/want to be.
But recently I was intoxicated and had the pleasant realization that I managed, even in this "uninhibited" state, to react in the correct way to a particular event. I didn’t think about it, I didn't stop myself from reacting the wrong way, it just happened.

@nprofile…d2a6 but "the govt knowing my overleaf account" is not the same as "the govt tracking my every move". I already have multiple identities online, why not one more with a more reliable recovery option? Why is that so different from using google or fb to login into stuff?

@nprofile…d2a6 idk, i feel like we should be able to have authentication treated as a public good of sorts without it decaying into dictatorship style surveillance? Or do you think just the government having this data somewhere is a risk not worth taking?

Today someone close to me posted a video about the Palestine and Israel conflict with a bizarre caption. It went several cheerful lines recommending "enjoying the analyses and proposed reflections with a cup of tea or coffee" and lauded "how enjoyable is knowledge!" and "there should be therapy for those who don't know this pleasure".
I also feel smug for knowing things sometimes but maybe don't display it when it's about war?
