I like the term homological/autological and it’s opposite, heterological (words that describe themselves, and words that describe the opposite of themselves, respectively)

And portmanteau.

Perchance

I’ve got an OG Hotmail address with my actual name and without any garbage characters.

I use it for so many things that I can’t go change it now. But I’ve started to use aliases when signing up for online services

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves here

I am shocked by how many people don’t know or don’t remember the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

Since I’m getting downvotes, let me clarify.

This is the first paragraph of a book, and is the first line of the first episode of the TV series based on the book.

Y’all arent the aforementioned “real ones” 😒

Okay, asking somebody how long they believed in Santa Claus is so stupid, you can’t even consider the topic suitable for idle conversation. But if you still wanna know how long I believed in some old fat guy who wears a funky red suit, I can tell you this: I’ve never believed in him, ever. The Santa that showed up at my kindergarten Christmas festival, I knew he was fake. And I never saw mommy kissing Santa or anything. But I have to say, that even as a little kid, I knew better than to believe in some old man that only worked one day a year. Now, having said that, it wasn’t until I got older that I realized that aliens, time travelers, ghosts, monsters, espers, the evil syndicates and the anime/manga/fantasy flick heroes that fight said evil syndicates, were also fake. Okay, I guess I always knew those things were bogus, I just didn’t wanna admit it. All I ever wanted was for an alien, time traveler, ghost, monster, esper, evil syndicate, or the hero that fought them to just appear and say “Hey”. Unfortunately, reality is a hard road indeed. Yep, you gotta admit, the laws of physics definitely puts a damper on things.

Real ones know 😏

I read that as “spicy cursed couscous” and honestly I think that’d work just as well

I’m so so on this example specifically.

Most of Taylor’s wealth is in the value of the rights to her songs. The liquid value she gets from those rights she is generally pretty generous with, she pays her employees very well and donated quite a bit of it.

That said, the bar is on the floor, and even a good billionaire is still pretty bad. She has much to improve

Lol go back to your job that you only have because you’re related to the boss, zero skill having MFer 🤣🤣

Absolute braindead take. Spoken like a nepobaby or a child who has never worked.

It’s wild how you’re like

Then negotiate. But don’t do anything to make the negotiation favorable to you and don’t do anything to prevent the other party from making the negotiation favorable to them.

Wtf do you think negotiation is?

This opinion is cousin to “then vote with your wallet, but if you boycott anything then you’re woke”
And sibling to “the free market is best, except people shouldn’t be free to organize against corporations”

I’m taking this

Go back to your billionaire pickme group, then.

Go on, shoo. Shoo

Because communism is the end goal, but one of the transitionary phases is the dictatorship of the proletariat , where a representative of the people is given sweeping power to prevent a counterrevolution from the bourgeoisie.

But that kind of power is hard to give up; foreign powers are trying to sew discord, and it’s really convenient to get stuff done. It’s ok, you’re one of the good guys anyways, right?
So communism never really makes it past that stage

It should be, yet it isn’t.
There was a brief window in north America where that was the case (or at least they were making progress), but that was decades ago.

I agree, but the crux of my post is that it doesn’t have to be that way - it’s not inherent to the training and use of LLMs.

I think your second point is what makes the first point worse - this is happening at an industrial scale, with the only concern being profit. We pay technocrats for the use of their services, and they use that money to train more models without a care for the deviation it causes.

I think a lot of the harm caused by model training can be forgiven if the models were used for the betterment of quality of life of the masses, but they’re not, they’re mainly used to enrich technocrats and business owners at any expense.

You can lose respect for me if you want; I generally hate LLMs, but as a D&D DM I use them to generate pictures I can hand out to my players, to set the scene. I’m not a good enough artist and I don’t have the time to become good enough just for this purpose, nor rich enough to commission an artist for a work with a 24h turnaround time lol.

I’m generally ok with people using LLMs to make their lives easier, because why not?

I’m not ok with corporations using LLMs that have stolen the work of others, to reduce their payroll or remove the fun/creative parts of jobs, just so some investors get bigger dividends or execs get bigger bonuses

I’m generally ok with the concept of externalizing memory. You don’t need to memorize something if you memorize where to get the info.

But you still need to learn how to use the data you look up, and determine if it’s accurate and suitable for your needs. Chat gpt rarely is, and people’s blind faith in it is frightening
