@Plinz what do you think about Keiji Nishitani?

What I love about this post is that it could be Yglesias doing satire. Obviously the destruction of Libya has had extreme longterm consequences—violence, forced migration, total social collapse and warlords moving UAE weapons into Sudan to fuel a related but even worse catastrophe. (And the migration drove Europe right, which Yglesias doesn’t like.)

But it also might not be satire. In the U.S. among many serious people, Libya is seen as a success because the Bad Man is gone and we don’t have to think about him anymore.

The output of an LLM is a lot like a rumour: a statement/text produced by a distributed social process in a way that gives it obvious semantic content but severs the deferential links that articulate the social process of justification.

@deontologistics @morallawwithin Absolutely agree on the perils of academia’s incentives structure nowhere is this clearer than in academic conferences like IEEE for the crossover of technology and arts

@nonpedagogy what about the crru as the friends we made along the way?

Well now I'm noticing every time a human does something where, if an LLM made a mistake like that, people would say it was proof LLMs were not AGI.
