TechTakes@awful.systems•AI chatbots test as having cognitive declineEnglish
11·2 years agoFeh. True AI adherents know that it is simply time to claim that AI has outgrown measurement designed for human minds (e.g. mental impairment tests) and require new tests for machine intelligence (trenchcoat volume tests). Of course these tests are yet to be invented and will obviously require billions of your human dollars for development.

could have sworn that this was the zuckcoin that was making the rounds a few years ago. I looked it up, they rebranded to “diem” due to legal issues before cancelling it altogether.

12·2 years agowhen I think about it more, what I don’t like is how insistent WPs are. Like what’s being communicated to me is “hey this is a good story idea, now you write it so you can prove my point!!!” You aren’t my editor, pal!

12·2 years agoguy chooses never to take in feedback or think about how to git gud at writing so every time he spurts out more sludge it’s just more infinite degrees of fractal bad.
Why the fuck is it in bad script form? MAN: WOMAN: MAN: WOMAN: just fucking name them! There’s like ten names in the text, just fucking do it, you shit!
FWIW the only way to read yudkowskian dialogue is to imagine yud as each character wearing a different wig for that character. No distinctions in voice though, none are apparent in the text.
