Doing some reading about the SAG-AFTRA video game voice acting strike. Anyone have details about “Ethovox”, the AI company that SAG has apparently partnered with?

cool story, bro

lol the corollary of this is that LLMs are incapable of producing meaningful output, you insufferable turd

Given that the LLMs typically have a system prompt that specifies a particular tone for the output, I think pretentious is an absolutely valid and accurate word to use.

dark forest internet here we go!!!

it’s funny to me that these futurist/thought leader/tech genius utterly fail to build their cult compounds where a goofy ass cult like Scientology has blown past them completely

network state

Great, a new stupid thing to know about. How likely is it that a bunch of people that believe they are citizens of an online state will become yet another player in the Stochastic Terrorism as a Service industry?

Oh, that’s a good angle too. Prompt the LLM with “what insights does this book have about B2B sales” or something.

take 2 minutes to think of precisely the information I need

I can’t even put into words the full nonsense of this statement. How do you think this would work? This is not how learning works. This is not how research works. This is not how anything works.

This part threw me as well. If you can think of it, why read for it? Didn’t make sense and so I stopped looking into this particular abyss until you pointed it out again.

I think the only interpretation of what this person said that approaches some level of rationality on their part is essentially a form of confirmation bias. They aren’t thinking of information that is in the text, they are thinking “I want this text to confirm X for me”, then they prompt and get what they want. LLMs are biased to be people-pleasers and will happily spin whatever hallucinated tokens the user throws at them. That’s my best guess.

That you didn’t think of the above just goes to show the failure of your unfeeble mind’s logic and reason to divine such a truth. Just kidding, sorta, in the sense that you can’t expect to understand an irrational thought process using rationality.

But if it’s not that I’m still thrown.

Dune

Prompts ChatGPT, skims the output because of muh ‘fishency

The Omelas Hole sure sounds like a paradise, I want to live in there!

That’s reasonable, and especially achievable if you don’t use chatbots or digital assistants!

I wonder if some of those chuds think those waymos might be conscious

what kind of semen retention scheme is this

Note to the Peanut gallery: this guy knows about paperclipmaxxing but not this more famous comic. Curious. lmfao

Incredible work as always, self

Dis you:

that being said… AI does literally help some people. for many things. google search was my favourite AI tool 25 years ago, but it’s definitely not right now.

lol

Lol, I’m a decision theorist because I had to decide whether I should take a shit or shave first today.

What’s your P(doodoo)

time to donate my money to a different wiki that only has the noblest of intentions, wikifeet (jk)

Children really shouldn’t be left with the impression that chatbots are some type of alternative person instead of ass-kissing google replacements that occasionally get some code right

I agree! I’m more thinking of the case where a kid might overhear what they think is a phone call when it’s actually someone being mean to Siri or whatever. I mean, there are more options than “be nice to digital entities” if we’re trying to teach children to be good humans, don’t get me wrong. I don’t give a shit about the non-feelings of the LLMs.
