>tell liberals to make good on "universal claims" of liberalism
>appeal to the American DoI and/or Constitution
>still get enslaved/bombed/sanctioned
unfortunately, extremely common centuries-spanning dynamic. worth wondering if there's more to it than just hypocrisy
"Nine Mojo Secrets" (1971) by US artist Betye Saar, known for her work in the medium of assemblage and she was an important figure in the Black Arts Movement in the 1970s #womensart
i like how most LLM hypemen on here just straight up don't read books for grownups or books at all because pynchon already wrote like this in the 60s and for non-fiction adorno-horkheimer had the jargon heavy dense writing nailed way back in the 1940s-50s

@ThatchEffendi@cloudofposting Liberalism as practiced has proven itself an obscene and sick joke through this, man. What are you trying to cling on to?
@ThatchEffendi@cloudofposting There is every reason to call Finkelstein a crank on other matters, but he is absolutely correct when he said to this: should've never been there, Israel had damned itself by Oct 6th.
Ha. There is a certain irony when an author writes a piece about what a normal place Russia is and has to hide his/her name because he/she is actually in Russia and fears repercussions. Sigh.
You don't want to waste time fighting all the safety and RLHF shit, you want the real power. You can literally rawdog the training corpus, which is typically split into legacy units called "books".
I've noticed an "intelligence ratchet" effect in myself. I want to see if anyone else has noticed this.
The more I use advanced AI, the smarter I get. Not raw IQ, but I mean knowledge, critical thinking skills, rhetoric and verbal, etc.
Every time a new AI comes out I feel dumb for a while but then over time, I learn the new thinking patterns and eventually the AI feels dumb.
I think this is why we often feel like "they nerfed the AI" but in reality we're all just leveling up because we finally have a thought partner that can challenge us day in and day out.
I was inspired to think in this direction by @akorinek's "frontier of automation" concept whereby historically, technologies tend to ultimately boost human abstract and cognitive abilities, meaning we all tend to stay just ahead of the frontier of automation, at least in aggregate.
It seems like, at least for now, we're all surfing the wave. The technology is making us smarter when we use it correctly. When we challenge ourselves and learn constantly. I'm not saying that this will be true forever or not.
But what do you think? Is the "new AI smell" just because we're leveling up our smarts and then when the AI feels dumb it's because we're ready for the next boss fight?
they set the cops on students for this, tear gas, truncheons, they fired people from jobs, they censored newspaper articles, to prevent you from hearing this
