The productivity gains would need to be shared by all to get that world, not owned by a couple for-profit entities.

The comment you’re replying to doesn’t anthropomorphize meta. “Morals at Meta” refers to the morals of the people that work at meta.

I don’t get it, are you saying that because the LLM is recycling human emotions that we should anthropomorphize it?

The reason people get fussy over anthropomorphizing AI is precisely because it seems very human superficially. We agree with you that it’s pulling from real human emotion in its training data. But the output is not human, even if the input was. That’s the whole trap of it.

If all people had to have gps trackers installed on their cars and that data was easily accessible to cops, yeah I would demand they be outlawed.

Even if his 1T is speculative and undeserved he still has extreme power from that wealth. And there’s no indication that the bottom will fall out any time soon, so I think the lamenting is justified.

Because I believe we all deserve to have a relatively equal say in how society should function, and the existence of trillionaires is antithetical to that.

Bizarre comment. OP didn’t say that they were worried or that AI is stupid. Only that it’s boring to hear someone talk about what their AI made.

But in this case what does a country lose by blocking any and all data centers in its borders? A few ms latency?

Wait, why does the Turing test invalidate the mechanistic argument against LLMs? Isn’t it possible the Turing test isn’t sufficient to measure intelligence?

The end of the article mentions it. Some people are not purely rational decision makers, some people are altruists who know others are not purely rational, etc.

By choosing red you will kill some people.

Where did I say there was no difference at all? I just said the example you gave was also evil.

Seems appropriate for satirists to do a petty attack on a bad man. That’s kind of the whole thing, isn’t it?

I’d rather it be collective action that produces real change, but humor is cathartic so I’ll take it.

Kind of a strange example, because yeah I do think it’s evil to inflict your aesthetic preference on everyone’s bodies without consent.
