Damn I was just thinking about moving there. Not really but I’d really like to live in a more utopian society where we work together to solve problems instead of fighting to make things worse.

Not so much anymore but I binged Hello from the magic tavern when I first discovered it. Also hardcore history, behind the bastards and Welcome to nightvale.

I deactivated my accounts just the other day. I haven’t been active for years so it was an easy decision. I could see why if you have a ton of followers it would be harder to do.

JD Vance has offered to change Trump’s diapers as penance for his transgressions.

Man millennials really like to do things quietly

I didn’t mean to throw your argument back at you. I agree with it. I just read it and thought you could describe humans with it as well albeit not that completely or charitably. I think by no means should we allow LLMs to make decisions. They could help us be more objective maybe in some cases by educating us. But yeah handing over agency to an AI is a frightening concept.

And no of course wiping out civilization is not a solution. I can get pessimistic about our ability to avoid destroying ourselves with or without the help of AI. I still think world peace is largely unattainable. At least without some draconian controls in place and a whole lot of time and education. I could change my mind on that. I hope we’ll get there someday.

Why the actual fuck is anyone considering putting humans into the driving seat of anything?!

Of course they make fucked up decisions with no proper or justifiable rationale, because they have no brains. They’re language models, stochastic parrots stringing together sentences to fit the prompt(s) given to them.

Sorry I didn’t mean for that to be snarky. My point in doing that was to say individual humans aren’t much better. That’s why it’s important not to place too much power or even agency on one person.

A language model has in its head, wrong word, what only multitudes could contain and maybe it’s detecting, another wrong word, a pattern with human civilization through our history and interactions. And if it’s goal is to achieve peace what other solution is there? I don’t believe in a world without conflict. I wish I could.
