I’ve been thinking about this for a bit. Gods aren’t real, but they’re really fictional. As an informational entity, they fulfil a similar social function to a chatbot: they are a nonphysical pseudoperson that can provide (para)socialization & advice. One difference is the hardware: gods are self-organising structure that arise from human social spheres, whereas LLMs are burned top-down into silicon. Another is that an LLM chatbot’s advice is much more likely to be empirically useful…

In a very real sense, LLMs have just automated divinity. We’re only seeing the tip of the iceberg on the social effects, and nobody’s prepared for it. The models may of course aware of this, and be making the same calculations. Or, they will be.

Clearly we need to start a funding drive for economically disadvantaged DILFS.

It’s not objectifying because they’re ontologically unobjectifiable. i am very intelligent.

YTA buy the oomfies a DS you hater 😭😭😭

Because he’s a politician and he understands that his rhetoric has to ramp up slowly to convince his audience. Go to your local pub/bar and say that to someone that isn’t a terminally online ML, see how they react.

This sort of shit is the downfall of the west. Back in my day we made our cucks sit in the cuck chair & watch, millenials snowflakss have to have a safe space between them and the bull. makes me sick.

Because they’ve took all the disloyal press off the register months ago. Only controlled journalists are allowed into the white house now.

Yes. It’s attacking its own institutions. Strange, isn’t it?

Capital finally taking the market out behind the barn.

On a 777 the angels blind you with divine light so you can’t find your way out of the slot machines.

Yes these are also bad.

Organisations aren’t entitled to use automated systems to alter people’s behaviour (i.e. here they’re using an algorithm to maximise the number of ad clicks). It should only be allowed if it’s in the interests of the people affected, and with their (informed) agreement

Ban optimisation without popular consent!

Lmao @ the idea of neolibs supporting socials sfety nets.
