Comment on I really want a "What if" Machine. I'd kill for it.
DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 1 day agoEh… I asked a LLM what if I arrived in the US when I was 6 instead of 8 and it predicted I’d probably totally forget my knowledge of Chinese and be more American… and it said I’d be responding in English instead of Cantonese… and that I would not feel so sentinental towards my Chinese name and constantly write those Characters on my assignments in school next to the Pinyin Name…
Like…
I don’t know about that… seems like it got a lot of data from just stereotyping…
I want like a superpowerful computer that can predict the movement of every particle in the universe…
Laplace’s Demon sort of thing…
How much data do I need to even feed it to get it to make an accurate prediction? A full brain scan?
But then that runs into a privacy issue.
I want an OFF GRID what if machine that I can destroy so nobody has a map of my brain…

Have you seen Devs (2020) series? From Hulu if I recall it correctly. The story rhymes with what you want.
