I don't think any serious person really believes in the AGI fairy-tale anymore. "The machine will learn to improve itself and become god like!"
But there is a softer version of LLMs growing to dominate our world. If a significant portion of the population decides to treat these systems like their best friend and confidant all of those people become very easy to manipulate.
And this is exactly how the people creating these systems expect to cash in.
Forget traditional advertising.
Sometimes I feel very confident that the possible social and economic impact of AI is being overblown because so much of it is like a toy whose novelty wears off.
I remember that people talked to the chat bot ELIZA for many hours before growing bored with it and seeing the limitations.
But, I do wonder if I'm just wrong. Maybe there are a lot of people who will want to use LLMs a lot and they will never stop. And it will slowly start to shape our world.
Maybe stop doing such sexy thumb poses hmmm??
No ads.
No* algorithm.
No tracking.
No influence campaigns.
No AI.
No face scanning.
No bots.
Just people on the internet talking to each other about all the little pointless things, (and big incredible things) in our lives.
*I realize that the demonization of the term "algorithm" in social media is unfortunate in many ways. The demonization of the words "social media" itself is also missing the point. But this is about a simple take on what I think a lot of people are looking for right now.
My brother, that is why I am here.
Is it offended by his chest because of the hips? eg "female figure all one color, therefore boobies"
I'm intrigued by the possibility of totally overwhelming the audience. A lot of my friends write and make films. Film has always bored me a little. It's just not as exciting as a show.
Film can lack spectacle and the way it can be watched anywhere makes it feel smaller.
So, even though I agree with a lot of the criticism I find the concept of a "film space" like this kind of exciting.
I think "you could really do something memorable in there"
Will anyone do anything memorable?
There has been some great criticism of film adaptions at the Vegas Sphere, and of it ... you know existing.
But it does exist and I can't help but wonder what would a good artistic experience in that space be like? It could be incredible.
It's basically like a theatre. Any production would need to use the techniques from theater to draw focus, and tell a story. But you can also use special effects in a way that's not possible in a theatre.
This video was excellent and helped to put things in perspective. I think you are right to be wary of any claim that something difficult like "rehab" would somehow get better on a farm.
And there is a lot of work to be done to better protect and support people who work on farms.
I was searching the whole site? But whatever they have done to the search it's very annoying.
mmmm chunky
It gives me the same sad feeling I get when I hear people talking about how much they "depend" on an LLM.
But... it's just sanding all of the difference out of everything. Doesn't that make you sad too? Doesn't it feel gross to get any sense of validation from such a source?
One woman said she didn't want to bother real people with all her insecure questions. It's just sad all around.
This is an example of what the search correction was hiding from me:
https://www.etsy.com/listing/1102303353/garnet-buoy-ant-1-surfing-ant?
It's a sculpture of a **surfing ant** with a garnet for her abdomen. I deserve to see this. LMAO. Who else should see this exactly?
I wonder if this "feature" is helping sales much? Seems like it's making the best thing etsy can offer, you know, stuff you can't find anywhere else, harder to find.
It might be because I added the relevant results to one of my lists?
Because it works for me now and shows the items I added to the list with the last search first.
Did you see this:
I'm not looking for a solution I'm pointing out a flaw.
This was not google this was on etsy.
Anti-ant bias. I'm disgusted.
This new kind of "search correction" is like some kind of horrible forced normie filter for life.
You must mean whatever is more popular. And not "did you mean?" either... just not even bothering to show you the results for what you wanted to search for in the first place.
It's really insulting.
