Be loving. Be kind.

One of my bosses took a pdf index of documents with academic and legal citations and ran it through Copilot, for the purposes of getting it into a spreadsheet without having to manually type it all out. Not a terrible thought I guess since it seems like a simple enough task but obviously proper citations are super important especially in the legal system so she asked me to take a glance to make sure there were no errors.

There was an error in literally. Literally. Almost every. Single. Citation. (And there were hundreds of them) Here’s a non exhaustive list of things the AI did instead of just transcribing the exact text:

- Rewording or shortening the titles of articles and legal cases

- removing authors’ middle initials

- Removing the specific dates from newspaper articles (like making it just 1966 instead of January 8 1966)

- In cases where there were multiple citations per entry, only transcribing the first one and then adding the words “And others” like? Did you get tired?? You’re a robot

- (By far the worst one) instead of populating all the specified page numbers it just wrote “Various pages”. Imagine if we went to court and when asked to cite page numbers we were just like “oh it’s somewhere in there trust us your honor”

TLDR do not fucking use AI for shit that actually matters (I mean imo don’t use it at all for anything ever but especially not for serious stuff) because we would’ve gotten in a ton of shit if I hadn’t checked this. And it took me forever to correct all of these errors which in the end definitely took longer than just typing it up myself in the first place.

hudson and connor both studied the meisner technique (very very scene partner-focused; receiving and listening and reacting (instead of "acting") to what your scene partner is giving you specifically) and i NEED them to talk about it like i wanna hear them chat about the techniques and what they did to break down the HR scripts (especially shooting so many years out of order and so quickly) and just how many times they ran into instances where the script may have had lines or actions with a direction for tone or objective and hudson or connor were "living truthfully in the moment" (meisner quote) and that truth didn't align with the script (whether fully or partially) so they just moved together as scene partners

liminal space

☆ pairing: hudson x connor

☆ tags: ambiguous relationships, feelings realisation, angst + yearning + a dash of miscommunication, minor connor x omc for the plot

☆ M, 48k, 5/5 chapters completed

But it felt like he did know Hudson. Like the craziness in him, the hunger, had found an echo, tracing it back towards the same gnarled roots, something old and inseparable. It was the same feeling he had during that chemistry read, the one he had done and forced himself to forget, because ruminating over it would only drive him out of his mind. A single spark, a flame held on the edge of a roaring precipice, ready to be picked up by the wind and launched into a burning inferno.

It occurs to me that there are people who weren’t on this website in 2012 and therefore never saw the magical gif that you can actually hear:

If your lover lives in Hong Kong and cannot get to Chicago, it will be necessary for you to go to Hong Kong. Perhaps you will spend your life there, and never see Chicago again. And you will, I assure you, as long as space and time divide you from anyone you love, discover a great deal about shipping routes, airlines, earthquake, famine, disease, and war. And you will always know what time it is in Hong Kong, for you love someone who lives there. And love will simply have no choice but to go into battle with space and time and, furthermore, to win.

for the record im not technially 100% anti-AI, in the sense that its a broad category of tech being lumped under one umbrella term so it feels over-zealous to say i hate all of it all the time forever. but i also think trying to discuss what it actually IS good for is difficult right now when i cant take one step without something trying to convince me to use chatgpt to summarize my life and speed up my hobbies and turn my friends into chatbots and optimize my life into oblivion. i am certain there is nuance to the topic but can we stop cramming the square peg into the round hole before you start trying to sell me on the legitimate benefits of the square peg. please.

Neural Nets have existed for decades and are genuinely useful. It's a form of AI that recognizes patterns, and can do stuff like identify cancer cells, tell whether an egg is fertilized or not, detect fraud, and optimize routes.

Those are Expert Systems, tuned to do exactly one thing. If you (say) ask a medical expert system a question about financial law, it's useless. The autopilot that flies a 787 has no idea how to drive a truck on the freeway. A Coulter Counter is excellent at identifying lymphocytes in a blood sample but can't predict the next card in a blackjack game.

And so on.

The problem with so-called generalized AI (AGI) is that we don't have that yet. It doesn't exist. It MIGHT some day, but AGI has been "10 years away" since the 1980s. The goals keep moving as we learn more about how people and machines process data.

But the current crop of AI techbros have been selling generative Large Language Model AI (LLM) as AGI because generative systems do a good job of faking it. There's no actual thought going on, merely the illusion of thought via predicting the next word in a sentence accurately.

If you let a human toddler listen to 800 hours of YouTube car influencer videos, that toddler might end up sounding like a car influencer. They'd parrot horsepower numbers and 0 to 60 times, mention EV range and MSRP numbers.

But they wouldn't understand any of it.

That's ChatGPT.

And yeah, it's worse than useless because it doesn't even know when it's lying or hallucinating. It just babbles convincingly until you stop it.

But for techbros to make money selling that as "AI"? It's the perfect scam, especially if you don't understand how it works.

I fucking hate it.
