I’m surprised the Social Media moguls can’t see this becoming the norm. Good luck to them I guess.

Out of all the things on a PC that I wish were a little safer, that was the last.

The IO shield however, is an evil thing designed to extract my blood…

They were doing a business.

We’re aimed at achieving a new level of employee empowerment, enhancing both our team’s performance and the customer experience.

To use an ancient acronym:

ROFLMAO

They will probably use the YouTube model - “you’re wrong and that’s it”.

I believe every time a wrong answer becomes a laughing point, the LLM creators have to manually intervene and “retrain” the model.

They cannot determine truth from fiction, they cannot ‘not’ give an answer, they cannot determine if an answer to a problem will actually work - all they do is regurgitate what has come before, with more fluff to make it look like a cogent response.

Sherry Turkle’s book “Life on the Screen” was an amazing read back in 1997

The blurb:

Life on the Screen: Identity in the Age of the Internet is a book not about computers, but about people and how computers are causing us to reevaluate our identities in the age of the Internet. We are using life on the screen to engage in new ways of thinking about evolution, relationships, politics, sex, and the self. Life on the Screen traces a set of boundary negotiations, telling the story of the changing impact of the computer on our psychological lives and our evolving ideas about minds, bodies, and machines. What is emerging, Turkle says, is a new sense of identity—as decentered and multiple. She describes trends in computer design, in artificial intelligence, and in people’s experiences of virtual environments that confirm a dramatic shift in our notions of self, other, machine, and world. The computer emerges as an object that brings postmodernism down to earth.

A good look at the sociology and psychology of the early internet and how it has potential to impact in both positive and negative ways.

Last update 2010. Makes me sad. Good times using IRC, I should find a modern program and get back on there.

DuckDuckGo has made A.I. results optional, which is a good move.

Companies that are making it fixed can go swimming in lava for all I care (looking at you Google).

What I find insidious is that they sell us this evil technology via funny little trends.

Easy to do when you can’t afford their products.

Fair point.
