This is not just hallucinations.
Definitely not. Computers don’t hallucinate.
There’s a very strategic kind of deception.
If that’s what it’s programmed do, then sure.

It’s either that… Or they’re talking about getting freaky on Battlestar Gallactica.
- Comment on Study Finds LLMs Biased Against Men in Hiring 1 week ago:
I dunno why people even care about this bullshit pseudo-science. The study is dumb AF. They didn’t even use real resumes. They had an LLM generate resumes. It’s all phony smoke and mirrors. The usual “AI” grift.

So you’re saying that capital and the state collaborated in order to build some phony BS that’s ultimately just another tool of violent control?
I’m SHOCKED! \s

- Comment on Microsoft Says Its New AI Diagnosed Patients 4 Times More Accurately Than Human Doctors 2 weeks ago:
A problem is that as usual it’s not actually “AI” to find patterns using statistics.
These corporations are literally willing to murder people in order to make a buck off “medical super intelligence” or whatever BS.

There’s no “AI” involved here.

The doctor who review the case, maybe ?
Yeah that’s why these gains in “efficiency” are completely imaginary.

“Science” under capitalism has always been funded and developed by fascists. The originals in the USA were the founding enslavers. The nazis had their time. Now it’s the zios.
- Comment on New wealth of top 1% surges by over $33.9 trillion since 2015 – enough to end poverty 22 times over, as Oxfam warns global development “abysmally off track” ahead of crunch talks 2 weeks ago:
Money is a social relationship. If money were distributed from the rich to the poor, the astounding thing wouldn’t be the numbers in bank accounts but rather the complete inversion of capitalist values. And if these values are to be inverted, then numbers in bank accounts are probably irrelevant. I don’t think these comparisons are supposed to be literal. It’s more about the massive inequality and anti-human values of the current system. Realistically capitalism is violently enforced by states, etc. so there will be no justice in the foreseeable future.

- Comment on Meta wins artificial intelligence copyright case in blow to authors 3 weeks ago:
It’s sort of like that… Except instead of a bunch of regular people sharing music, it’s a bunch of capitalists stealing all art for profit. Ofc the major difference is that’s it’s legal for capital.
- Comment on Meta wins artificial intelligence copyright case in blow to authors 3 weeks ago:
It depends on your definition of “is”. In reality it depends on the work and how it’s transformed. But legally it’s whatever benefits capital (aka your boss).

If a pact between enslavers is a complete failure, why not just make another one? \s
