- Comment on How Do You Change a Chatbot’s Mind? When I set out to improve my tainted reputation with chatbots, I discovered a new world of A.I. manipulation. 2 weeks ago:
My theory about what happened next — which is supported by conversations I’ve had with researchers in artificial intelligence, some of whom worked on Bing — is that many of the stories about my experience with Sydney were scraped from the web and fed into other A.I. systems.
These systems, then, learned to associate my name with the demise of a prominent chatbot. In other words, they saw me as a threat.
LLMs predict text, they don’t have feelings or awareness. Even if a researcher did say that I call to attention the Google chatbot programmer who though an LLM became sentient because it said so when generating text.
Guys, my paper is sentient, it says so.
If the AI says he’s disonhest and sensational that’s because enough people on the internet have said so that the AI considers it to be true.

Ideally internet debates wouldn’t get THAT heated though.

If nothing else, at least companies can’t force you to pay for their services at gunpoint (yet).
- Comment on Tumblr to move its half a billion blogs to WordPress 3 weeks ago:
My guess is it scales a lot more efficiently the more you add. Still probably costs a lot though.

- Comment on We need to nationalise Google, Facebook and Amazon. Here’s why 4 weeks ago:
Best case it’s gonna get bloated and beurocratic (any monopoly, but especially state run ones) and if it’s government owned they’ll use the power of the government to prevent competition (more than a private monopoly which will still try but won’t have as much power to do so).
Worst case it goes off the rails and the service is unavailable/unusable. If it’s anything important - say the Soviet’s food production - anybody who needs that service doesn’t get it.

The only thing worse than a monopoly is a government owned monopoly

- Comment on YouTube Not Accessible Across Russia. 5 weeks ago:
I’m not saying they believe that, I’m just commenting on what their government is saying.

Because if their government won’t give them the full story it implies they might not like it.
- Comment on How the Frontal Lobotomy Won the Nobel Prize in 1949 5 weeks ago:
What barbarity we once had.
Anyway, time to prescribe an 8 year old an amphetamine because he fidgets to much when told to sit at a desk for 8 hours.
- Comment on YouTube Not Accessible Across Russia. 5 weeks ago:
Not a Russian political expert, but the fact Putin keeps calling it “denazification” and a “special military operation” leads me to believe there’s a lot of people who don’t support a full blown war.
- Comment on The Google antitrust ruling could be an existential threat to the future of Firefox | Financials show 86% of Mozilla's revenue came from the agreement keeping Google as Firefox's default search engine 5 weeks ago:
Mozilla doesn’t use their donations for Firefox, though that might change if they lose the Google money.
