When I read about AI 2027 pushing their predictions 18 months into the future I thought of the Millerites in 1844.

Will there be a subsequent "Great Disappointment" in 2029?

Yes.

To all those promoting AI (i.e., LLMs), crypto currencies, and the value of social media, I reply, Matthew 7:15-20.

p.s., I get the irony of posting that last one on BlueSky. 😁

I'm so cynical that these stories make me think about the Jessie Smollett hoax of 2019.

I'm just saying, if we learn later that Altman paid to have his house firebombed and shot at, I won't be shocked.

That said, please, people, stop doing stupid shit to shut down AI.

What if LLMs are not really hallucinating, they're just misunderstood? 🤔

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Watching this episode of Star Trek: TOS and thinking about #TheAIGrift.

Kirk was right to have that red alert in the back of his neck.

What if people's brains were the Large Language Models all along? 🤯

This is just brilliant!

Still, OpenAI valuation just reached $850 billion ahead of IPO.
#TheAIGrift

Well, sure, but we need that electricity to run our LLMs to create AI (i.e., Artificial Imbecility).
#TheAIGrift

LLMs will never be able to blush; ergo, we should never trust them.

Idea:

Emily Bender-trained LLM that you can ask anything but when Kustov--only Kustov--uses it all it responds is "Go fuck yourself!" 😂

AI is the literary equivalent of a pawn shop trafficking in stolen goods. 😡

In chapter seven, "The Religion of Technology: The Myth of a Masculine Millennium," Noble may have identified the roots of techbro misogyny: a history of boys clubs chasing the millenarian goal of godhead.
#TheAIGrift

Great line!

"The prospect of another epoch-making historical leap thus generates simple-minded delight... among those man-child technical enthusiasts who are encouraged to indulge their socially irresponsible fantasies at public expense...." (chapter three)
#TheAIGrift

This should end OpenAI's existence and, if we were smart, it would send LLMs back to the lab where they belong.
#TheAIGrift

When #TheAIGrift plays itself out we should all demand a 25% bonus plus a 25% raise to take back all the jobs these idiots thought they could replace us with by using LLMs.

The sole value of LLMs--it will soon become apparent--is as another technics added to an already existing array of tools for state and corporate surveillance.

The techbro oligarchs know that to manage you must monitor and they are building the tools to monitor everything.

So, an agile robot who's also a rhetorician?

They want this but packaged in a way that everyone believes they benefit from the system.

Ignore that the system is built on artificial scarcity and the suffering of billions.

Mary Beard's 1000-year history of the development of the Roman empire.

Just read this, much more satisfying than talking to a digital parrot who likes to blow smoke up our asses.

Large Language Model boosters:

"If only we had enough monkeys and enough keyboards, we could code new applications without humans!

Oops! Watch it. They're throwing their feces again."
#TheAIGrift

The counterargument to this is that Large Language Models have been publicly available for several years now and they appear to have plateaued in performance.

If LLMs could do what this CEO suggests, no one would be paying for all the high-end, bespoke software that should now exist.
#TheAIGrift

You Have No Idea How Screwed OpenAI Actually Is When you find yourself in a hole, at what point do you stop digging?

As I read the part about LLM "hallucinations" I thought, why don't we just hire millions of people and let them microdose mushrooms? 😂

LLMs are getting exponentially better at guessing the next token? Is that like "We've just reached peak monkeys with typewriters and expect some Shakespeare fan-fiction any day now"?
#TheAIGrift

The first thing I thought when I read "adoption" is that people are not choosing to use LLMs, they are being coerced to use it daily, often because it's used in Google and Bing searches as the first thing you see.
#TheAIGrift

Hey, remember a couple years ago when "soft skills" were all the rage? What happened to that? 🤣
#TheAIGrift

It's like AI without the AI. 😉
#THEAIGRIFT

If the suggestion here is that LLMs will be useful in the realm of self-driving vehicles, this is like claiming your parrot who quotes Shakespeare would make an excellent neurosurgeon.
