I seriously doubt people are reading this far and confirmed by none of our comments have gotten an up vote this far down. And again, if what you are saying is obvious to all then there’s no need to comment further if you are appealing to an audience. I think this has more to do with being in control (as evidence by trying to always enforce the boundaries of the conversation even when you yourself violate those same boundaries).

If it is as transparent as you say then you wouldn’t have the need to comment any further. So why did you?

Interesting, I didn’t accuse you of being emotional just that you have emotional needs. Everyone has emotional needs. Nonviolent Communication is a great tool for disentangling judgements from needs; for example, calling me dishonest speaks to a need for integrity.

Yeah, I wasn’t asking for your professional opinion on gAI but why you feel the need to attack people’s professional reputation when it can only detract from your argument. I have no intention of debating someone who levels such insults but I am happy to talk about the emotional needs around such actions.

Just as you questioned my intention with accusations of dishonesty I am wondering what your intention is when disparaging a random person’s professional pedigrees (with no effort to make the person known to yourself first). I made my perspective on this known to you and I am trying to understand what your intention was as it does not aide in the debate you so vigilantly protect.

Honestly not sure what I expected in terms of a response but this is certainly an interesting reaction. “Calling someone dishonest is not a personal attack” is certainly a take. It’s also interesting that dishonesty is your automatic conclusion when there are other alternatives when someone approached you with a different professional experience; absent is the tendency of expert practitioners to be curious about contextual clues that can lead to different outcomes. I’m going to take your criticism in good faith and recognize this is probably the standard you hold yourself to: that any part of yourself that does not comport to the current ideal is to be treated with suspicion.

Your description of the tools was to make an inaccurate comparison. But sure, I am the “dangerous” one for showing how those examples are deterministic while gAI is not. Your responses with personal attacks makes it harder to address your claims and makes me think you are here to convince yourself and not others.

I’ve literally integrated LLMs into a materials optimizations routine at Apple. It’s dangerous to assume what strangers do and do not know.

All the technologies you listed behave deterministically, or at least predictably enough that we generally don’t have to worry about surprises from that abstraction layer. Technology does not just move on, practitioners need to actually find it practical beyond their next project that satisfies the shareholders.

Yes it’s a proxy war. Doesn’t mean you should go around “liberating” your neighbors by folding them into your own territory.

Totally her fault for not buying stock and instead decide to have kids she could not afford. But really her husband should be to blame for not making more money. Could he not get a job at ICE? /s

They are not even thinking that deep. They just think handing assholes with power even more power is how to create more prosperity.

Ehh, there was the parlamenterian that blocked student debt relief: https://thehill.com/opinion/education/550677-change-in-reconciliation-rules-takes-pressure-off-biden-to-forgive-student/

He’s fucking Grok, isn’t he?

Which should be solved by passing a living wage not by cutting food stamps…

I wish when Democrats brought up how silly purity tests are they would use your comment as an example. People eating is more important than starving a corporation.

I’ve seen food stamps used at farmer’s markets, SNAP doesn’t dictate who or how people grow food, that’s a different issue. But hey I guess the situation will improve now that SNAP is being halted, right? /s

Are SNAP benefits are a corporate conspiracy in this world you describe?

It is also true people benefited from Obama’s DACA program. This isn’t a simple trolley problem let alone a single track

I’ll just tell that to my brother in law who just got released from ICE custody. Like I know this picture is probably true for Gaza, but it isn’t for many of my neighbors and family.
