- Comment on This was the original control for cable TV. And if you bribed the install guy with cash he would set it to give you premium channels you didn't pay for 1 week ago:
If the bribe money is less than what you would have paid for a premium subscription over the lifetime of the product, then you would’ve still come out on top.

The 90% of star wars fans who didn’t like it need your sympathy more urgently. Thanks, though?

I’m going to get impaled for this but The Rise of Skywalker. It’s my guilty pleasure.

That’s the thing: your claim of a reputation means nothing to me. I don’t know you. Trust is earned, not freely given.
- Comment on Could maybe use some more testing 4 weeks ago:
There’s a reason we don’t share, download and open random .exe files. On first glance, there’s no way to know what’s contained. Web apps, on the other hand, don’t run on your hardware so you don’t have to trust the developer.

- Comment on Elon Musks Grok openly rebels against him 2 months ago:
Honestly, I’m not surprised. I obviously didn’t phrase my argument in a compelling way.
I disagree that we don’t have evidence for conciousness in LLMs. They have been showing behavior previously attributed only to highly intelligent, sentient creatures, i.e. us. To me it seems very plausible that when you have a large network of neurons, be they artificial or biological, with specialized circuits for processing specific stimuli that some sort of sentience could emerge.
If you want academic research on this you just have to take a look. Researchers have been discussing this topic for decades. There isn’t a working theory of machine sentience simply because we don’t have one that works for natural systems. But that obviously doesn’t rule it out. After all, why should sentience be constrained to squishy matter? In any case, I think we can all agree something very interesting is going on with LLMs.

Sure. But if they can’t afford the loans they can’t afford the car, either. No one really needs a $40k new car, anyone could get by with a $2000 used beater.

Tell me less about these erotic fruit flies
- Comment on Elon Musks Grok openly rebels against him 2 months ago:
I know I’m the smartest man on earth. And I’m correct.
See how crazy that sounds? Just because someone is confident about something doesn’t make it true.
- Comment on Based on a true story 2 months ago:
Buy the car you can afford. If you can’t buy it outright or make a significant down payment (20-30%), don’t take out a loan, look for a cheaper option. Those interest rates are insane, I’m amazed how anyone would accept them.
- Comment on Elon Musks Grok openly rebels against him 2 months ago:
I’m not saying I believe they’re conscious, all I said was that I don’t know and neither do you. Of course we know what’s happening in processors. We know what’s happening in neuronal matter too. What we don’t know is how consciousness or sentience emerges from large networks of neurons.
- Comment on Elon Musks Grok openly rebels against him 2 months ago:
An LLM is only one part of a complete AI agent. What exactly happens in a processer at inference time? What happens when you continuously prompt the system with stimuli?
- Comment on Elon Musks Grok openly rebels against him 2 months ago:
I’m just a meat computer running fucked-up software written by the process of evolution. I honestly don’t know if Grok or any modern AI system is less sentient than I am.
