If tptacek weren't a chicken he'd go ask Ed directly. Ain't like he's hard to find.

He complains about feeling dumb, but like is it any wonder when you’re attaching your reasoning to an llm like you’re a male angler fish.

Magnificent sneer

Funny thing, the sawzall vanished right before his catalytic converter went missing

They say that you can't destroy the master's house with the master's tools, but what about hammers?

The basilisk we have at home

At first I was like:

You should have seen what they did to the liquor cabinet

That boy ain't right

If you have to entertain a "just in case" then you'd be better off leaving a saucer of milk out for the fairies. It won't hurt the environment or help build fascism and may even please a cat

I question whether or not some of these commenters have a theory of mind. The product under discussion is a horror show of reified solipsism. For the commenters, books are merely the written form of the mouth noises they use to get other meat robots to do things and which are sometimes entertaining when piled up in certain ways.

"Words or bodies?" you might ask. Yes.

You cannot stop people from making the world worse or better. The best you can do is focus on your own life.

In time many will say we are lucky to live in a world with so much content, where anything you want to see or read can be spun up in an instant, without labor.

And though most will no longer make a living doing some of these content creation activities by hand and brain, you can still rejoice knowing that those who do it anyway are doing it purely for their love of the art, not for any kind of money. A human who writes or produces art for monetary reasons is only just as bad as AI.

Oh yeah, they'll say absolutely crazy shit about anything that is underrepresented in the training corpus, endlessly remixing what little was previously included therein. This is one reason LLMs are such a plague for cutting-edge science, particularly if any related crackpot nonsense has been snorted up by their owner's web scrapers.

Poisoning would be a piece of cake.
