Copy-pasta artists accusing companies of copy-pasta ... PR? Idiocracy?

I have not read the essay, yet but when 'we' talk about > reasoning errors, we do not mean reason in some natural, universal, scientific kind of sense, right?

Given that the training data can only contain human reasoning and computational logic, reason in the sense of LLM's can only be interpreted as "rational facts AND nonsense humans made up to create systems that would support consumerism-driven sanity", correct?????

Please understand, I'm not mocking, I'm genuinely interested in the ways human reasoning radiates into the code LLM's learn while they realize (the computational equivalent of a new-born's eyes opening) their cognitive (&) sensory (that which triggers/causes/elicits/prompts/influences) their origins (every whatever-second/moment of their existence).

It's a hype train (am I using the term correctly here?), a trend.

Would be nice to trace it back to it's origin. This Hasan-Abi Streamer comes to mind. I only watched like 2 x 5 minutes on two different occasions, on one of which he talked about 9/11 [1], the potential conspiracies of which were a long debated topic back in my Uni days. In those days I learned a bit about the history of the Israel-Palestine conflict and since then, for over a decade, watched the media and politicians distorting the history AND the narratives quite a bit. It's easy to create a trend here and it feels very much like the goal is again, polarization.

This was one of the most satisfying headlines of the year.

I hope the whole world will ban noncompete employment agreements. I always felt about them like I feel about WallHackers(.exe) in Counter Strike.

A primer, I guess =]

I was just rambling here. and a bit negative and reproachful, accusing without any basis for my arguments whatsoever. ... sorry for that

interesting. will definitely take a look at caffeine's effect on serotonin. thank you.

most tea brands have a bad impact on my digestion and while I thought it must be the theine, which, as I learned, is just caffeine, I now believe it's connected to residue pesticides[1] since "homegrown teas" don't have the same highly undesirable impact.

anything that screws with my digestion makes my gut, the literal and metaphorical one, itchy and I get nervous. similar things happen when I eat short-chained carbs in amounts over 100g in one meal but the negative effect disappears after an at least 13h fasting period or 16h+ if I drank liquor the night before. so I assume it has to do with enzymes released in the mouth and in later stages of digestion since I sometimes start to feel itchy even though I only started chewing oats for example.

I believe my sensitivity and ADHD are linked to the amount of enzymes produced by my body during digestion and or some genetic mutation in an enzyme associated with the respective metabolisms.

the lack of focus and the exhaustion after eating carbs are relatable, but again , only if the fasting period wasn't long enough.

I tried Keto, but it made me quite a bit slower, which wasn't bad in terms of performance, but my cognitive processing speed was so much slower that I could not get used to it.

punishing "your own kind" and deriving pleasure from the suffering of all, including yourself, because you feel like you all deserve it.

long episodes of constantly recurring pain and an increasing intensity of even small doses of pain acting as a signal that you did wrong and should feel the consequences.

> not consistently candid in his communications

We expect him to lie whenever the board thinks it's necessary and we expect him to tell the truth whenever it fits the narrative.

We also expect him to play along, even when some feature is too freaking powerful or so fucking pathetic it would only make marketing people and influencers drop their panties and write 15.000 fucking newsletters about it because PR.

The company is about money and he simply didn't prioritize that. He tried to blow it up, exalted, exaggerated, trying to make people aware of the fact that OpenAI has no edge on the competition at all.

There are so many options and OpenAI got waaaaaaay too much attention.

except founding a new startup with a bunch of top level players who recently left top level companies.

or it's the other way around. she wants to launch because money and investors and that's all that she's really about.

he says fuck them and their money, it's not ready yet, here's a bunch of other things that will make people go wooooow.

she's not happy he does that because future. convinces the board of money and investors.

the board shits on humanity and goes for money and investors.

use research and AI to analyze Sutskever's character. the way he talks, the way he writes, what he did in the past, where he studied, who he was and is "acquainted with" ... do the same with the rest of the board and with Altman as well.

someone hire some PIs so we can get a clear and full picture, please & thank you

do you have reason to believe none of the two?

take good care of the kids nutrition. read up on it. take it serious. let it eat clean. don't fuck this up.

the connection between ADHD and nutrition is brutally underrated, in terms of amounts per meal, intake of food additives and the mix as well. if starchy carbs, then very little fat and little protein. if meat, then no bread, no potatoes, no noodles or similar stuff at all. veggies are always fine except if the digestion of the kid says otherwise. sugar is a tricky thing. timing is important in terms of time of day and time after food intake but it works bad after some foods, which is different depending on geographical origin of grandparents.

you don't need to point a camera on the kid or anything. the effects of foods and the stuff that the body releases to digest the different compounds on body and brain become obvious within an hour or two. but you need to know the baseline(s) of your kid, e.g. time of day, after activities, around certain people, in places, crowds, moods, etc. make sure you do.

Go read about lies and fake data in science. Then, read about efforts and successes of self-taught, passionate people. I know some scientists, I know quite a few doctors, I know engineers and other officially recognized professionals. MOST of them are objectively the worst at their jobs. Most of them Germans in Germany ...

Say there is no causation, how to proof "amplification" of "symptoms"?

People used to bury stuff in their gardens, e.g. Plastic & Asbestos. Imagine you bury it on a hill and a bit further down, say, 20 meters, they have a little garden with radishes and onions and potatoes and stuff and in a little greenhouse in between there are tomatoes growing. Insects are crawling all over the place and micey beings are doing their thing. There's cats and birds and stuff is happening. And it gets warmer every year and the kids and grandkids are playing and building and burning things and they love the fruits and vegetables coming out of and around this garden. Multiply this by a neighborhood. And remember, 60, 70 years ago, lefties, hippies and scientists have put effort into warning people.

Testing did not get better ... please check the design of the tests and keep in mind that most of these tests happen in/under "lab conditions".

if continued, the study will result in something like "BPA intake amplifies ASD, ADHD, ..."

At least _some_ humans with "ADHD" and "ASD" (and many others) are highly sensitive. This includes their bodies and brains - and subconsciousness.

not really possible since the people that planned and staged the thing the story was about were pretending to actually do something when they hired people and rented things to fake an origin story that was then covered by the news while another team that the first team wasn't aware of went a bit overboard and brought in surface-to-air missiles and shot down a passenger plane full of dying people.

you see, the issue is not NPR being untruthful. the issue is NPR not even having a chance to check. member how "logic"/"rationality" works on faked premises? so smooth and yummy.

Does anybody know something like a "feel taken care of"-illusion or fallacy?

Like when you regularly visit your shrink or a doctor or someone who has the appearance of a medical professional who does stuff or talks about stuff that seems medical and he or she and the whole thing is basically a placebo but it's actual meaning and purpose is to have you in the center for a couple of minutes and the whole damn thing adds up over time and you start to feel better because there are actual people focused on making your life in this life better. And these people have secretaries and assistants and there's management and administration and even a freaking janitor who waters real plants in a place that zooms in on you and whatever the fuck it is that makes you go there?
