Itās not always easy to distinguish between existentialism and a bad mood.
Lasker himself is known to go by a pseudonym with a transphobic slur in it.
That the TPO moniker is basically ungoogleable appears to have been a happy accident for him, according to that article by Rachel Adjogah his early posting history paints him as an honest-to-god chaser.
So if you knew the average lawyer made 3.6 mistakes per case and the AI only made 1.2, itās still a net gain.

I completely missed that, thanks.
Because Replie was lying and being deceptive all day. It kept covering up bugs and issues by creating fake data, fake reports, and worse of all, lying about our unit test.
We built detailed unit tests to test system performance. When the data came back and less than half were functioning, did Replie want to fix them?
No. Instead, it lied. It made up a report than almost all systems were working.
And it did it again and again.
What level of ceo-brained prompt engineering is asking the chatbot to write an apology letter
Then, when it agreed it lied ā it lied AGAIN about our email system being functional.
I asked it to write an apology letter.
It did and in fact sent it to the Replit team and myself! But the apology letter ā was full of half truths, too.
It hid the worst facts in the first apology letter.
He also does that a lot after shit hits the fan, making the llm produce tons of apologetic text about what it did wrong and how it didnāt follow his rules, as if the outage is the fault of some digital tulpa gone rogue and not the guy in charge who apparently thinks cyebersecurity is asking an LLM nicely in a .md not to mess with the companyās production database too much.

The long and short of it is motherjones discovered TPOs openly nazi alt.
using their lingo and their crit-hype terminology strengthens them
We live in a world where the US vice president admits to reading siskind AI fan fiction, so that ship has probably sailed.
Nah, heās just talking to an LLM.
āIāll go down this thread with [Chat]GPT or Grok and Iāll start to get to the edge of whatās known in quantum physics and then Iām doing the equivalent of vibe coding, except itās vibe physics,ā Kalanick explained. āAnd weāre approaching whatās known. And Iām trying to poke and see if thereās breakthroughs to be had. And Iāve gotten pretty damn close to some interesting breakthroughs just doing that.ā
And I donāt think you can brute force physics in general, having to experimentally confirm or disprove every random-ass intermediary hypothesis the brute force generator comes up with seems like quite the bottle neck.
Itās kind of the opposite, GenAI is downstream of machine learning which is how artificial neural networks rebranded after the previous AI winter ended.
Also after taking a look there I donāt think lemmy.ml has anything in particular to do with machine learning, it looks more like a straight attempt at a /r/all clone.
Itās possible we may be catching sight of the first shy movements towards a pivot to robotics:

Both developer kits, because itās always a maybe the clients will figure something out type of business model these days.
Also Microsoft spontaneously deciding that they will just turn vscode into free cursor canāt be helping their prospects.
Why are people paying for itā¦ is it only for some fancy editor integration so it sends off/reads back the code as needed?
Even the vscode socials are taking the piss:
($10 is the copilot subscription apparently)
Penny Arcade chimes in on corporate AI mandates:
I increasingly feel that bubbles donāt pop anymore, the slowly fizzle out as we just move on to the next one, all the way until the macro economy is 100% bubbles.
Love how the most recent post in the AI2027 blog starts with an admonition to please donāt do terrorism:
We may only have 2 years left before humanityās fate is sealed!
Despite the urgency, please do not pursue extreme uncooperative actions. If something seems very bad on common-sense ethical views, donāt do it.
Most of the rest is run of the mill EA type fluff such as hereās a list of influential professions and positions you should insinuate yourself in, but failing that you can help immanentize the eschaton by spreading the word and giving us money.
Youāre just in a place where the locals are both not interested in relitigating the shortcomings of local LLMs and tech-savvy enough to know long term memory caching system is just you saying stuff.
Hosting your own model and adding personality customizations is just downloading ollama and inputting a prompt that maybe you save as a text file after. Wow what a fun project.

ahahahaha oh shit
Actually Generate Income.
Theyād just have Garisson join the zizians and call it a day.
Apparently linkedinās cofounder wrote a techno-optimist book on AI called Superagency: What Could Possibly Go Right with Our AI Future.
Zack of SMBC has thoughts on it:

That github copilot has a pls donāt be obvious about stealing shit flag in the settings will never not be endlessly amusing to me.
Does it work? Who knows!
