I’m sure the AI told them they were right to push back when they confronted it

Cthulu is an archetype, right? Comes into our world with no regard other than what it can manipulate and drives people insane.

I appreciate the emphasis on conviviality or human centric design. But boy I want to nitpick on the following:

when we collaborate with AI systems, we might be interfacing with the archetypal patterns that have guided human wisdom throughout history. This makes programming with AI a form of accessing collective spiritual wisdom rather than just advanced tooling.

I agree with the first half, that yes, you are engaging with archetypal patterns that is often present in human wisdom but that is where it stops. There is no guarantee the LLM has selected the appropriate pattern for your use case. There is no wisdom from the LLM because there is no conviction from its choices. The LLM, at best, is a superstitious machine that sees that X pattern worked in a situation with similar signifiers. Wisdom is understanding which signifiers are of consequence given your context, which requires being able to ignore/forget irrelevant context - something an LLM is terrible at doing as evident by all the “context engineering” tools that exist. It feels like a chicken and egg problem where in order for the LLM to “get right” what is the appropriate context it must first have the appropriate context.

Yes this impacts everyone and everyone should be concerned. But the solution is in mass politics, not in “electing” another death cult leader. The conservative framework is fundamentally unable to address this issue.

Edit: after watching the video I would say the title reflects her audience.

Heard a rumor that one of his advisor is married to an AI specialist at Google. Like I don’t expect Sanders to know who yud is unless someone on his staff told him it would be a good idea to talk to him.

Who is advising Sanders on AI?

Now what would a group of horny middle schoolers do to a bot like that?

Sure you can make the technology more resilient but if the enforcement is punitive enough then it won’t matter.

I think https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molly_Ringwald but nothing in the bio makes the reference make sense

Americans are famously known for their critical thinking skills. /s

Good point. Now I imagine someone trying to pass the turing test by having their bot pretend to be a sales person.

I guess a certain country is using LLMs to try to engage people 1:1 to change their opinions of said country.

Came across this today: the purpose of a system is what it does. Based on that I would say the purpose of Claude was to make mistakes and get my coworker fired.

Coworker got fired because he used AI to plan for a site installment of our product. The AI made a very nice looking plan but it failed to include enough packing material so nearly half of the units arrived broken. Boss still thinks AI is going to revolutionize work for the better though.

Which ones ship to the states? I bought shoes little over a month ago and it is already developing holes. Normally I buy xero shoes but the tarrifs on China has made it less affordable

“Let’s also advance someone who is less popular than our previous candidate for president.”

Somehow Newsome beat AI by 1 point in terms of positive impact.

Actually had a therapist introduce me to it. It can be a useful model, and if I were to boil it down to a single adage it would be: pay attention to how you talk to yourself. But I don’t think it is as simple as saying you contain a multitude, each part was developed to help the person survive and as you get older you might collect more parts and suppress others. It actually reminded me a bit of Lacan and the developmental stages.

You didn’t define authoritarianism or specifically say how it is so in this case, leaving us to guess and you to say we guessed wrong.

Someone is probably hawking AI driven backups as we type

The part about robots doing backflips causes the robot to wear down faster has me thinking the whole “replace humans with humanoids” should be framed as comparative advantage rather than how many robots would be required to build itself. Given the number of humanoids required to replicate itself, you could take those same complex parts, rearrange them into non-humanoid configurations and have more output both in an interval of time and over the life time of those parts.
