Whenever I'm down, I find that the greatest way to improve my mood is to experience my own creations. In the admiration of my work, I'm able to experience the love I imprinted at its creation. It's like receiving a kiss from myself, forever proof that my struggle is not in vain.

@TLRationalist I struggle to see the point either. All this app seems to do is try to keep me engaging in petty discourse. It's an endless debate which sucks all my mental energy away from my passions. Maybe it's just a bad habit of mine, but I'm going to get off of here...

@ilaughatmyjoke It creates a false dichotomy between AI users and artists, when in reality, AI can only create art when a human has a vision to use it for

[Matthew Napier @napier49269]

@H1storyMedia The laws of nature do not exist in a material sense. They're principles which describe the nature of objective reality. Reality has always and will always exist, because being presupposes existence. Only entitities can be created or destroyed, not the material underlying.

@Greeninja9 By "intervention" do you mean not giving them free food that they refuse to buy?

What an evil bastard.

@splitbycomma LLMs are a subcategory of generative AI. Claude is an LLM. Therefore, Claude is generative AI. It generates some kind of content, like all other types of generative AI. And if my memory serves correct, stable diffusion and Dall-e predate chatGPT and are also generative AI.

@Nikos_17 Wait, so he's saying Gaza is WORSE than the Holocaust... How despicable

[Oscar Davies Writing on AI @OscarMDavies]

If the human brain works like LLMs, how did humans develop language? You can't find the next most probable word if words don't exist yet

@omkarships The good ones do

@kiaran_ritchie Steam charges what people are willing to pay, by which 30% appears to work just fine. There ARE alternatives to steam, but people choose it because of its immense value. Users will use whatever service has their favorite games. It's a choice to use steam

@Xeloph Programming is not art. It's design

@SenCrystan If it's copying what you do, aren't you saying that you're making slop?

@ViolinSpeedruns I'll see you in 50 years when AI has enabled a planet many times more desirable than the one we inhabit now

There's a package-deal here. Superman is using the particular details of language processing among humans and AI to suggest that the entire human brain works like an LLM does, even though this only applies to linguistics. Perhaps he believes that intelligence IS linguistics...

[Superman @thesupermannx]

Chomsky was wrong.

Researchers found your brain doesn’t store language the way every textbook since 1957 claims.

For decades, the undisputed rule of linguistics, led by Noam Chomsky, was that human language is hierarchical.

We were told our brains process language using complex "grammar trees." That we secretly build deep, abstract, mathematical rules in our heads before we speak.

This new paper proves that is completely wrong.

Researchers at Cornell University analyzed how people actually process and produce language in real time.

They found sequences. Linear chunks.

When we speak, we aren't calculating deep syntactic rules. We are just predicting the next most logical sequence of words based on the context of the words right before it.

We string linear chunks together.

If this sounds familiar, it should.

This is exactly how Large Language Models like ChatGPT work.

For years, critics have dismissed AI as "just a next-token predictor." They said it isn't truly intelligent because it doesn't understand deep grammatical hierarchies like humans do.

But this paper suggests humans don't use those hierarchies either.

We are just predicting the next chunk.

Language isn't a rigid tree of mathematical rules. It's a linear stream of contextual predictions.

We thought we were building AI to mimic the complexity of the human brain.

It turns out, the human brain was just running a simpler algorithm all along.

@TheMG3D because "AI generating it myself" takes longer to do than the playtime of the game, assuming you even know how to do it at all.

@Jase147819796 @Allar990 @Sonderisfon It's true that career politicians have a pragmatic attitude similar to satanists. I would say the fundamental difference is that satanism is self-aware of its malice, but politicians try to evade their own. Even so, both welcome prayer as an instrument of control

[Matthew Napier @napier49269]

@I_Insultalot @Sonderisfon Regardless of if he admits it or not, there is a fundamental metaphysical disagreement. If the atheist is serious in his conviction, he will feel a little awkward when someone prays, which, essentially, is an offense to his understanding of reality. I think it's a fine reaction.
