Generative AI is as much of a "de-skiller" as photography is to a painter. You can make the same argument how anyone would rather take a picture instead of drawing whatever they need by hand. This reminds me of an issue that has been happening with airplane pilots.

You see, airplanes have become so advanced that they basically fly all on their own, a pilot only interferes where really needed with manual controls. Now, if the pilot just relies on the automation, his skills will eventually deteriorate and he might not succeed when his input is needed. The answer, of course, wasn't to get rid of automation, but to have the pilot periodically train his skills with simulations.

Technology "de-skills" you only as much as you allow it to.

Are we really going to go all insane to the end of time accusing each other of using AI generated content until it becomes impossible to distinguish it from human made content, or are we going to see through our hate for a second and realize that all the issues people keep parroting each other about AI in their echo chambers are just consequences of the profit motive? AI is a set of technologies, it is neutral. People learned to associate all of AI with the actions of a few billionaires because hate propagates faster on the internet than nuance. I invite all to rethink what is the enemy, and what is just a hammer.

Please go see a therapist

It is impressive how you can be so deeply offended by a fucking banner. I understand being mad at greedy AI companies and environmental issues brought about the implementation of data centers, but this is neurotic behavior.

Then you should read more papers

I read the paper a bit, looks like a rant more than a paper. He's just arguing that you can assign anthropomorphic features to any computing system regardless of substrate as if the researchers working on it didn't know that already. I don't see how implementing a perceptron on AoE is any relevant to his argument at all.

He also talks shit about connectionism even though it is rooted in neuroscience and still used very often to explain all sorts of behavior.

We use anthropomorphization in science because that is how we make sense of things. We say that the ball "wants" to go downhill not because it we assert that it has a conscience. The same goes for analyzing behavior in LLMs.

Diogenes is the modern crackhead

Yeah, I notice this with LLMs too, sometimes just having something repeat something back with a bit of a reaction is enough to shape the idea better.

I don't understand this. They're dolls, they aren't alive. Why people would care? This may be controversial, but I'd rather have a pedophile fucking a doll than raping a child

Why would gay couples want to be blessed by a religion that actively demonizes them?

As we know no actual women have large breasts and the ones who do are inherently pornographic /s

I hate the world and I hope society collapses soon

Wake the fuck up Samurai

Religion is a political tool made to opress the masses. Catholicism is particularly harmful for sanctifying asceticism.

They sell this backward idea where suffering and misery is glorified while engaging in pleasure, principally sexual please, is seen as sinful and impure.

It keeps people from raising against their masters and constantly feeling guilty about themselves for craving sexual satisfaction.

How about being a fucking parent instead of letting the government do it?

I had to do that once but the company wanted me to use a Mac over my own Linux. I can't stand anymore to be forced to use specific platforms to do my job. It's like going to a car repair and demand the mechanic to change your tire using a plastic wrench.

Just make a Signal account for Gam Gam too.

The only thing that keeps people submissive to the whims of technofeudalism is their intolerance to change, which worsens with age in an inactive mind.
