Fucking hell, of course it would be Pelosi who is floating the most risky option: an open primary. If Nancy is on board and AOC is not, you know it's probably bad: https://www.politico.com/news/2024/07/19/pelosi-support-open-nomination-biden-drop-out-00169893

Just lead with this and people will better judge the opinions that follow.

Y'all overlooking that she's saying it has to be Harris. All the campaign funds and endorsements don't leave the campaign if Biden steps down and the baton is passed to the VP. Not true if we make this an open primary or even if we all agreed on someone else.

You did not just fall out of a coconut tree. You exist in a context of all that came before you.

Clinton was a rightward leap of the Democratic party. In reality the left and right move in response to each other, but the direction it goes is not fixed.

Elon: The EV market has soured on me, I'm willing to trade the tax credits for something...

Don: I got just the thing: you can sell SpaceX satellites to the Russians

Elon: Perfect!

I love it when terrible people do terrible things to their own wealth. What I don't love is how after a certain number of billions, you have an infinite wealth cheat code to fuck around with.

There's a gaggle of coconut memes of her on tiktok, so I guess some people do.

So if a group unrolls a banner here saying where you live and the top 5 things that make your life meaningful and how to destroy those things, you would support their right to do that? A Nazi symbol is an endorsement of such tactics and should be treated as such.

Why should I need to prove a negative? The burden is on the ones claiming an LLM is sentient. LLMs are token predictors, do I need to present evidence of this?

[–] zbyte64@awful.systems 1 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Humans predict things by assigning meaning to events and things, because in nature, we're constantly trying to guess what other creatures are planning. An LLM does not hypothesize what your plans are when you communicate to it, it's just trying to predict the next set of tokens with the greatest reward value. Even if you were to use literal human neurons to build your LLM, you would still have a stochastic parrot.
