I couldn’t finish the video, it made me physically uncomfortable because of the cringe, lol. His team is totally at fault for this.

Bernie Sanders has unfortunately been duped into thinking AI is what the evangelists (tech CEOs and doom evangelists, including the cult leader Eli Yudkowsky) have told him about it.
Here (Twitter) is a video from Bernie’s office that starts with cult leader Yudkowsky promising that AI will kill humanity.

Also, LLMs are not AI (in the sense that most people would deem meaningful): there’s no reasoning involved, just a convincing illusion of it, served by extensive knowledge compaction and next token prediction. That is not to say that LLMs are useless, or that the sort of all-powerful AI people fantasize about cannot exist (I really don’t know, no people do). That is to say that it’s not for now, and that before it happens, we will see another long AI winter before the emergence of something fundamentally more convincing than LLMs.

LLMs are highly impressive text generators, amazing facsimiles of human writing and wholly unsuited to anything involving semantic understanding and critical thought. You cannot generate facts, and it doesn’t understand how the patterns it analyses and reproduces relate to actual concepts or things, but they’re extremely “knowledgeable” about those patterns.
They’re a technological marvel, relentlessly abused by grifters posing as prophets to scam the gullible.
Unfortunately, the gullible are executives and representatives.

Would you expect anything more than astroturf when I say artificial grass? It’s really not controversial to call it that. ikea.com/…/runnen-floor-decking-outdoor-artificia…
Same goes for anything else artificial. Why expect more than a plastic stand-in useful for some purposes when talking about artificial intelligence?
The word really isn’t the problem. Yeah maybe one day we’ll be able to make artificial grass that you can feed a goat and it’ll grow back, but IKEA really isn’t interested in that.
