Spatial reasoning has always been a weakness of LLMs. Other symptoms include the inability to count and no concept of object permanence.

I mean, it still could be. But LLMs are not that AGI we’re expecting.

“Don’t believe that marketing department“ is one of those things everybody needs to learn at some point in their life.

In Python you can use 🍆 as a variable name.

Edit: oops, guess I was mistaken, you can use most Unicode but emojis are not valid.

How the hell is Starship pictured in an “early SpaceX” post? The problems with Musk have been going on far longer than any Starship hardware has existed.

I hope something rash does happen. Like, the kind of rash thing that cuts the number of idiots in this feud in half. Enemy of my enemy and all that.

Is it in decline? I mean, I want to believe it, but I haven’t seen any hard data on that.

China is killing it honestly. My money is actually on them for next boots on the moon.

They certainly could. I don’t think it’s a terrible idea either - Elon is not stable enough to handle the decision making for national security tech.

Indeed. And Shotwell will likely remind Elon they can’t do that and stay solvent. It wouldn’t be the first time she’s uncancelled something he’s decided to throw out.

What?! The tariffs made American businesses uncompetitive? Who could possibly have guessed?!

I don’t think I suggested it wasn’t worrisome, just that it’s expected.

If you think about it, AI is tuned using RLHF, or Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback. That means the only thing AI is optimizing for is “convincingness”. It doesn’t optimize for intelligence, anything seems like intelligence is literally just a side effect as it forever marches onward towards becoming convincing to humans.

“Hey, I’ve seen this one before!” You might say. Indeed, this is exactly what happened to social media. They optimized for “engagement”, not truth, and now it’s eroding the minds of lots of people everywhere. AI will do the same thing if run by corporations in search of profits.

Left unchecked, it’s entirely possible that AI will become the most addictive, seductive technology in history.

¿Por qué no los dos?

Turns out it doesn’t really matter what the medium is, people will abuse it if they don’t have a stable mental foundation. I’m not shocked at all that a person who would believe a flat earth shitpost would also believe AI hallucinations.

People who like cute art more than gameplay.

Sensationalist headline about science fiction.

No shit it’s “possible” despite being hopelessly beyond today’s technology.

People who open their mind with drugs, and immediately fill that open mind with alt right social media echo chambers just get more set in their ways than before.

Musk’s always been a dick but he’s grown much worse on ketamine+Twitter.

Even being a felon didn’t disqualify him.

Yeah that stuff bugs the shit out of me. It’s like people just discovered they can send HTML to a browser.

Skipping that whole loop would be far more efficient but it’s not cool to do that any more.
