How long do you think your rights in prison are going to last once they’ve eliminated your most basic rights outside of prison?

I will literally starve to death living in the wilderness before someone puts a Neuralink in me. If you forced me to choose, I would choose starvation.
- Comment on Airlines Are Selling Your Data to ICE 1 week ago:
Even as a white male US born citizen, I also don’t see myself flying back any time soon. I’m nobody, but I’ve run my mouth against fascists online enough that I’ve probably triggered some flag in the system.
- Comment on People Are Losing Loved Ones to AI-Fueled Spiritual Fantasies 1 week ago:
So you’re describing a reasoning model, which is 1) still based on statistical token sequences and 2) trained on another tool (logic and discourse) that it uses to arrive at the truth. It’s a very fallible process. I can’t even begin to count the number of times that a reasoning model has given me a completely false conclusion. Research shows that even the most advanced LLMs are giving incorrect answers as much as 40% of the time IIRC. Which reminds me of a really common way that humans arrive at truth, which LLMs aren’t capable of:
Fuck around and find out. Also known as the scientific method.

What you’re describing is not an LLM, it’s tools that an LLM is programmed to use.
- Comment on OpenAI abandons plan to become a for-profit company 1 week ago:
This doesn’t sound like a nonprofit.
- Comment on People Are Losing Loved Ones to AI-Fueled Spiritual Fantasies 1 week ago:
You don’t understand what an LLM is, or how it works. They do not think, they are not intelligent, they do not evaluate truth.
- Comment on People Are Losing Loved Ones to AI-Fueled Spiritual Fantasies 1 week ago:
I’m not saying humans are infallible at recognizing truth either. That’s why so many of us fall for the untruths that AI tells us. But we have access to many tools that help us evaluate truth. AI is emphatically NOT the right tool for that job. Period.

That’s very interesting. I’ve been trying to use ChatGPT to turn my photos into illustrations. I’ve been noticing that it tends to echo elements from past photos in new chats. It sometimes leads to interesting results, but it’s definitely not the intended outcome.
- Comment on People Are Losing Loved Ones to AI-Fueled Spiritual Fantasies 1 week ago:
I’m not saying these prompts won’t help, they probably will. But the notion that ChatGPT has any concept of “truth” is misleading. ChatGPT is a statistical language machine. It cannot evaluate truth. Period.

Pretty sure I’m not gonna hire you to do any professional work for me.
- Comment on Don’t watermark your legal PDFs with purple dragons in suits - Ars Technica 2 weeks ago:
My first reaction was “who give a fuck?” then I got to the part of the article that says:
His website, which also features the purple dragon and a bunch of busted links in the footer, says that the firm “integrates AI to lower the cost of legal services.”
Which is honestly a thousand times more concerning than how he chooses to display his silly logo. Dude is writing legal documents with AI. At least his lack of professionalism is obvious.
- Comment on Several phone brands rumored to be planning a major shift away from Android 2 weeks ago:
I live in Asia. I’m European and meet a lot of Chinese tourists. Trying to find a common ground with digital services we both use is impractical to the point where we often can’t connect online.
- Comment on AI models routinely lie when honesty conflicts with their goals 2 weeks ago:
Yes, that’s also true. But even if it weren’t, AI models aren’t going to give you the truth, because that’s not what the technology fundamentally does.
- Comment on AI models routinely lie when honesty conflicts with their goals 2 weeks ago:
Your argument is basically “people are stupid”, and I don’t disagree with you. But it’s actually an argument in favor of my point which is: educate people.
- Comment on AI models routinely lie when honesty conflicts with their goals 2 weeks ago:
Anyone who understands that it’s a statistical language algorithm will understand that it’s not an honesty machine, nor intelligent. So yes, it’s relevant.

If I could get a laptop with a screen like this, I could finally sit outside in a park and code like nature intended.

Strange headline to say that credit card payments as age gates are trending again. Reddit has nothing to do with it.

Musk is out to delete all laws that don’t benefit him, and replace them with harsh private rules that are not accountable to the people.

Can someone explain how to know if my devices have this chip, what risks it exposes me to, and what, if anything, I should do to protect myself?
