Along the same lines of LLMs ruining language stuff: I just learned the acronym MTPE (Machine Translation Post Edit) in the context of excuses to pay translators less and thanks I hate it.
Canāt avoid slop reading translated books, canāt learn the source language without dodging slop in learning tools left and right. Itās the microplastics of the internet age.
Anyway my duolingo account is no more, I have better resources for learning German anyway.
I agree. I spent more time than Iād like to admit trying to understand Yudkowskyās posts about newcomb boxes back in the day so my two cents:
The digital clones bit also means itās not an argument based on altruism, but one based on fear. After all if a future evil AI uses sci-fi powers to run the universe backwards to the point where Iām writing this comment and copy pastes me into a bazillion torture dimensions then, subjectively, itās like I roll a dice and:
Like a twisted version of the Sleeping Beauty Problem.
Edit: despite submitting the comment I was not teleported to the torture dimension. Updating my priors.
