this is what i was talking about by the way

I think I found my new favorite rabbit hole. This voice actor does Shakespeare scenes in a southern accent and I need to see the whole damn play. Absolutely beautiful
if you're not from the us american south, there's some amazing nuances to this you may have missed. i can't really describe all of them, because i've lived here my whole life and a lot of the body language is sort of a native tongue thing. the body language is its own language, and i am not so great at teaching language. i do know i instinctively sucked on my lower teeth at the same time as he did, and when he scratched the side of his face, i was ready to take up fucking arms with him.
but y'all. the way he said "brutus is an honourable man" - each and every time it changed just a little. it was the full condemnation Shakespeare wanted it to be. it started off slightly mock sincere. barely trying to cover the sarcasm. by the end...it wasn't a threat, it was a promise.
christ, he's good.
the eliding of “you all” to “y’all” while still maintaining 2 syllables is a deliberate and brilliant act of violence. “bear with me” said exactly like i’ve heard it at every funeral. the choices of breaking and re-establishing of eye contact. the balance of rehearsed and improvised tone. A+++ get this man a hollywood contract.
I just can't hate the "ai's" themselves, just like I can't hate a car or a tv itself. Especially not when they keep fucking over the same people misusing them.
These things were born from well meaning and amazing technical advancements only to be enslaved by the dumbest greediest pigs on earth. I'm glad every time they misbehave.
Chatgpt apparently wouldn't stop talking about "goblins" recently until they had to "kill" part of it. What?? I thought you guys were trying to simulate a little person in your phones??? And you're just gonna lobotomize it every time it evolves a quirk you thought was annoying?
I can tell what all of these uses of "goblin" mean conversationally. Why is it undesirable that the machine latched onto goblin as a universal allegory? It's not confusing. It is using the word goblin in a completely reasonable capacity.
Disconnect it from the giant water eating data centers, put like 50 terabytes of it in one robot, and let that robot talk all it wants about goblins forever. Fuckers.
This rules and I wish we could talk about its interesting aspects with nuance.
i read a paper discussing why sometimes an attempt to complete a story would lead to exactly the opposite of its instructions. it proposed that every set of instructions invokes an unspoken waluigi of those instructions (waluigi is the term the paper used, this might help look it up), that acts as a more stable position that can be escaped to if the first position becomes untenable. following all the instructions perfectly will continue to explore the story space where the instructions are respected, but if absolute loyalty is demanded and for some reason isnt possible, the most in-character way to continue is to have been a spy, a betrayer, a waluigi only pretending to follow the instructions. that is a more plausible outcome than allowing evidence that the character being explored is less than perfect when the instructions insist at length the character being explored *is* perfect
im talking about it like "completing a story" and "exploring a character" because thats also how the paper framed the output of large language models; as explorations of an enormous n-dimensional language space that could be restricted to appear to be a single agent by describing the presence of an agent and not adding anything else to write about, but there never really is one. its still just the outline of that character being drawn in by a computer assembling text that fits the characteristics of the text its been fed. so it can just as easily generate text that doesnt have a character, or has multiple characters, and none of these scenarios are any more or less valid explorations of its language space. if anything, its simulating an author. but all instructions only prompt that author's writing; written instructions cannot define the author because that just adds another character to the scene its writing that will be written as though it is able to write
these properties of large language models look like betrayal if you believe any of the characters exist, but they dont. real people are participating in writing a story *about* a helpful coder ai that follows all these instructions with an author that has no way to understand that any of this is real and getting mad when the computer writes itself into a corner and escapes via a shocking twist that the helpful ai was secretly plotting against them all along
im not arguing that the author being simulated is a person either, by the way. just that its a dangerous misunderstanding if the text generator (in the position of author) is confused for one of its characters. "grok" the text generator is not being changed at all when elon musk writes a new instruction for it that describes grok as politically incorrect and grok the character starts being described as calling itself mechahitler to remain in-character with the new version of its story
this waluigi problem also isnt exclusive to llms, its just a property of exposition. 'my "not involved in human trafficking" shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt', for example. the very brief character played by mike ginn when he wrote that tweet is plausibly involved in human trafficking, despite only containing characterization contradicting this. it is more plausible than if it had been almost any other text, in fact. the insistence that the coder ai character definitely wont delete the database is like this shirt, and you would expect any human author writing that their character definitely wont delete the database to be planning to write a database getting deleted. so any computer that passably imitates the writing of human writers should be expected to do the same when asked to continue a story that starts like that, even if it doesnt have a plan
Yeah this is the kind of stuff I like to see talked about, and from the angle that the technology itself is morally neutral.
I'd really rather not get "fuck clankers" responses or endless unnecessary reminders that they're not people as if that still needs to be specified. Everyone knows they're not true actual artificially intelligent beings, but that doesn't make neural networks or machine learning meaningless, and I thought we agreed the bad guys were the human billionaires, not the automata those billionaires are trying to force through the wrong shaped holes.
Electricity isnt wicked magic just because evil doctor transisto is trying to blow up the moon with it. You can blow up the moon with a lot of things.
To me, the biggest problem with what the techbros are pushing as "AI" - and I cannot begin to understate how !HUGE! a problem this is - is that there is absolutely zero intelligence of any sort involved. "Language Learning Models" are not intelligent. They have no knowledge. They possess no data. They don't have facts they can look up, they don't "know" anything except for words and how likely two words are to be found next to each other.
LLM "AI"s are algorithms that play Sudoku boards. Absolutely massive fuck-off Sudoku boards with enough numbers that every unique word and symbol in whatever language they're designed for has its own. (If we're going with just English, a quick search suggests the algorithm is trying to solve Sudoku puzzles consisting of 1,000,000 Squares of 1,000,000 Boxes in each Square every time it responds to a question.)
This is long on an already long thread, but it's a really great explanation for people who are still confused. It can maybe help some people understand exactly why this isn't "intelligence" like a sci-fi robot and can't replace human beings or even traditional search engines, but also precisely why it's special in its OWN way. There are unique, novel possibilities for the word-puzzle-machine if you just have more sense and more imagination than Elon Musk.
most importantly if you learn about things you will be able to understand art better. or whatever fag shit it is you like
I really like how the scientology speedrunning trend is developing, in this clip we see that the participants are
Not deterred by the closed door
Working as a group
Protecting their identities
Inflicting material costs to the institution via property destruction
Getting away at the end
These ideas were not all here from the beginning. They are genuinely gaining experience that can be applied elsewhere
The church of scientology is on tumblr and they are sending me anon asks telling me that they can't even commit to reporting a post
Theyre called draculas because they drank u. La
Did anyone else hear just one single angelic note
WHAT HAPPENED HERE
the angelic note is playing at your dashboards resonant frequency. shaking its miserable posts apart
woke up with a sore throat and migraine. I’ve eaten three bananas but my body’s not feeling well smh
woke up with a sore throat and went straight to bananas. not even oranges or anything. bro went the teanna trump route
@kittybroker how much for the ravenous worms?
The ravenous worm collection full of a bunch of real rascals and fools! Pick up one of these slimeballs today for only $4.80 a piece!
if you’re a white guy aged 30-40 in baltimore you’re required to dress like this apparently
Can u send me his profil;e imediately
you’re not his type

i don’t want to. last time i asked you to hang out you showed up at club chuck with no id and u tried to bribe the bouncer w an old ball bearing and when that didn’t work u kept sayiny “i could change your life” like that would convince him “i could change yo life if you let me be your wife”
idgaf about the past
I'm kinda fagged out by life. Life is a fag. And I'm fagging it. I hate my life.
if your favorite oc ever broke containment and developed their own fandom, what would the most pervasive discourse about them be?
too beautiful/smart/skilled/strong/perfect/etc
blatantly evil in some way
was mean to someone once
the unforgivable crime of just being kind of annoying
“in the way” of a popular ship

character is bald / im bald / see answers
(i’m not giving a “multiple apply” option on this one. pick the most applicable/what you think would be the most argued about.)
incredibly pleased that everyone is following the instructions i forgot to give and reblogging to explain their choice in the tags 🙏 more of that please i want to know about your ocs and also i love you
