if youre happy and you know it lay an egg

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.

if you see a dragon looking around with “i’m lost” energy they just might need to be reset. you can help by picking them up and moving them back and forth and tilting them and shaking them in midair to recalibrate their accelerometer and gyroscope

one cool thing about having an autistic dad whose special interest is underwater spearfishing is that when he catches fish he'll just call up a nearby chinese restaurant like "hi. i caught a fish. can you cook it and i'll bring my family by?" and they're like "yeah sure come on over white boy" and the fish is delicious.

[beemovieerotica]

it's worth adding that my mom is chinese and she always gets embarrassed by this. like she doesn't want to come to the restaurant with us. she doesn't want to be seen with the white man she caught plus the fish that her white man caught. everyone who works at the restaurant thinks my dad is awesome and compliments him + her for choosing him and we all find this very fun except for her.

very basic fuzzy neo lore:

he was neo agent 3, but grizz just before his defeat used super condensed fuzzy ooze or smth to mutate him into this bear thing like a last ditch effort to keep his goals alive. Neo's mind is all scrambled up though so he's not really much of a threat. His memories of his past as an octoling are fuzzy and difficult to recall. He's just this feral thing that runs around on all fours, growling and sniffing, will bite if startled

[agent3captain]

I love my cutes with a side of tragic . He's my sgrunkly. I pet his fuzzy ears and squish his big ol beans to distract him from the Horrors

[agent3captain]

WE CAN ASK THE FUZZY NEO CHARLIE EE;;

okay okay, here's one that i think is good right off the bat.. has the relationship with anyone in M4 changed after charlie got fuzzy'd? or is it still the same as before?

he only knew josh beforehand... they had a strong relationship so he still has attachment to him, even if he doesn't know why. and joshs feelings have complicated significantly but he refuses to abandon him

Im enjoying the longevity of tumblrs recontextualization style of humor. a seemingly innocuous post followed by like "posts that a gnome would make" or like "are you a phone"
