TRAIN ON A FERRY TRAIN ON A FERRY

Die Verbraucherzentralen schlagen vor, dass #9EuroTicket ab September beizubehalten und für 29 Euro zu verkaufen.
Sicher ist: Den Riesen-Fortschritt eines EINHEITLICHEN, für alle bezahlbaren Tickets darf nicht wieder zürückgedreht werden! Dafür muss es JETZT eine große gesellschaftliche Bewegung geben.

Was bei diesen Temperaturen hilft

Langer Text, daher als Screenshot. Nachfragen bitte direkt via DM. Ich diskutiere hier übrigens nicht über Sinn und Unsinn von Beratung :) Ich habe eine wissenschaftliche Ausbildung und nichts mit Schwurbelei am Hut.

I always found second-order Turing tests (i.e. can the creature perform a Turing test) more interesting than passing a Turing test.

Anyone freaked out by the sensationalist headlines about Google's language models becoming sentient should read up on the "Chinese Letterbox" thought experiment.

When this thought experiment was first contrived it was basically fiction, the idea that you could make a statistical model of language so complete that it could fool a real person was farcical. The author(s) only intended to raise a question and prove a point.

Well, surprise! Language is highly statistical, perhaps it has to be to permit us to learn it so quickly (per Chomsky, maybe?). And it turns out we can make models that can mimic, with creepy cogency, human speech patterns, even to the point of appearing to chew over a complex thought.

But in the end they're just statistical models re-hashing the word-sense-orders of their training corpuses.

Corpuses that include AI-themed scifi books and film transcripts, philosophy textbooks, and breathless singularity-themed blogs.

Generative angriness at: https://fight-it.bleeptrack.de/

A year ago i was worried and depressed about nft art becoming the norm. But here we are a year later and vast majority of the art community know its bullsit and there are enough of us against it that it does make an impact in a few cases and it gives me a slimmer of hope. Stay angry.

Heard this morning on a podcast ad: "proprietary zero-knowledge software"

= we have zero-knowledge about how you do zero-knowledge = you might as well have full knowledge

"Have you heard, they've found out magic is real!"
"I heard."
"Anyone can learn, it's all logical, like programming."
"Yeah."
"Aren't you excited?"
"I'm a programmer. I wouldn't trust any programmer with magic."
"Hang on..."
*gzirp*
"Here."
"Coffee? You conjured coffee? Show me!"
