  I mean, I’ve been saying this since LLMs were released.

  We finally built a computer that is as unreliable as humans.

  I’m under no illusion that LLMs are “thinking” in the same way that humans do, but god damn if they aren’t almost exactly as erratic and irrational as the hairless apes whose thoughts they’re trained on.

    Yeah, the article cites that as a control, but it’s not at all surprising since “humanity by survey consensus” is accurate to how LLM weighting trained on random human outputs works.

    It’s impressive up to a point, but you wouldn’t exactly want your answers to complex math operations or other specialized areas to track layperson human survey responses.

    which shouldn’t be considered a good thing.

    Good and bad is subjective and depends on your area of application.

    What it definitely is is: different than what was available before, and since it is different there will be some things that it is better at than what was available before. And many things that it’s much worse for.

    Still, in the end, there is real power in diversity. Just don’t use a sledgehammer to swipe-browse on your cellphone.

      I asked Lars Ulrich to define good and bad. He said…

  That 30% of population = dipshits statistic keeps rearing its ugly head.

  As someone who takes public transportation to work, SOME people SHOULD be forced to walk through the car wash.

  I’m not afraid to say that it took me a sec. My brain went “short distance. Walk or drive?” and skipped over the car wash bit at first. Then I laughed because I quickly realized the idiocy. :shrug:

    Me too, at first I was like “I don’t want to walk 50 meters” then I was thinking “50 meters away from me or the car? And where is the car?” I didn’t get it until I read the rest of the article…

  The same 29% that keeps fascists in power around the world.

  Maybe 29% of people can’t imagine owning a car, so they assumed the would be going there to wash someone elses car

    Then they can’t read. Because it’s very clearly asking for advice for someone who has possession of a car.

      Yeah, it was a joke. People appear to have had a hard time with catching that though, lol
