    He should rename it to “American intelligence”… and then it would finally be accurate

    The opinion of anyone impressed by the function or output of a LLM enough to believe it is in any way adjacent to intelligence should be summarily dismissed, and ridiculed should they persist.

      I have tried it for ESPhome and it gives you something that sounds right. When you go to save ESPhome says this is not a valid option so then you say that to the AI and it goes yes that is correct this is how you do that option. Like WTF so SMRT.

      It’s very much factual that LLMs are intelligent, what are you even talking about?

      Maybe you’re confusing intelligence with consciousness?

        Intelligence requires possession and/or demonstration of comprehension, something LLMs are intrinsically incapable of.

        If you insist on classifying LLMs as ‘AI’, I’ll concede they are proficient Algorithmic Iterators.

          I mean, they are AI though it’s a very misleading label, AIs are called like that because to someone it seems that they mimic human inteligence; they are just copycat machines, sadly it’s too late to change their name unless a government starts to make campaigns to aid that

            LLMs demonstrate knowledge not intelligence.

            LLMs are basically giant knowledge databases with no intelligence. They know a lot of things but they don’t understand stand any of it.

            Because fundamentally they can’t understand things. They can only approximate understanding.

            It’s no different then if I asked someone to prove 2+2=4. They could tell me that yes that’s correct, because they know it. But they couldn’t explain it properly. Let alone explain why it also isn’t always true.

            Hallucinations are fundamentally the disconnect from knowledge and understanding. Everything a LLM says from its point of view is “true” it’s only stating factual knowledge so far that it has it in its data set.

            But with out understanding, it can’t tell when that knowledge wanders from a 99% likelihood to be accurate to 60% or 20%. Because it doesn’t actually understand what it’s saying.

            It can only state subjective not objective truth. And subjective truth is no better than a fiction with out understanding.

            This is why they need a human minder to keep track of the output to correct it back to optimum output when it starts to wander.

              Chain of thought doesn’t quite align with this. It’s possible to predict something not in training if there are sufficient facts in the history to align the probability toward a conclusion. (the “teach a man to fish” approach) Reasoning chains were introduced to take advantage of this, but it’s also possible to prime facts through external sourcing that can be used to extend the predictions. (web searching, document traversal, etc.)

              Your larger point remains accurate though. Introspection capabilities are functional but quite limited, and training bias can be quite pathological in a vacuum.

              This binary distinction you’re making doesn’t exist in any serious scientific literature. I literally have a degree in information technology and have been following this subject for over 30 years now - there’s no real distinction between “knowledge” and intelligence. In fact, compression itself is literally intelligence.

      Americans elect a moron to the presidency every ten to fifteen years going back to the country’s founding.

      It’s not a matter of recovery so much as a hurdle that liberal democracy routinely stumbles over.

        George W. Bush was not that long ago. He (too) won with a popular minority. He won by shenanigans in Florida with the help of a partisan SCOTUS.

        Bush ran as a compassionate conservative_ but he moved hard-right as soon as he was in office. He started abusing power such as his conspicuous legal-boilerplate signing statements. (Essentially, _I don’t have to enforce this law, IF i don’t want to.) He immediately started rolling back environmental and consumer protections.

        Then 9/11 happened, and we went to war, and language started pivoting towards Iraq and WMDs. Joseph Wilson wrote an article about how there’s no yellowcake (processed uranium) and to get revenge, the administration (via Scooter Libby) burned the CIA operative Valerie Plame, which was once a huge offense to the intelligence sector during the Cold War. I’m still sore about it, but I’m still sore about much of the Bush administration.

        Soon we started learning about the extrajudicial abductions of Arab, Muslim, Americans, extraordinary rendition (to black sites), torture, the prison camp in Guantanamo Bay, the PMC black ops (precursors to drone-strikes) and so on.

        It was awful. So much that the Democrats were taking seriously blaxk and women candidates for the first time. So much so, that Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize, mostly for not being Bush. (Even he was surprised.)

        I thought the US would never elect a Republican again.

        I totally overestimated the civic savvy of American voters.

          I thought the US would never elect a Republican again.

          People said that after Nixon and Reagan. But it all exists in a vacuum. No real consideration of why any Republicans got elected in the first place or who voted for them the first time.

          Also, you’re completely divorced from right wing media. The consumption of this fascist propaganda hasn’t stopped. The production of new fascist IP hasn’t slowed. Consolidation by new fascist business interests hasn’t been disrupted.

          What do you think is going to happen in two years, when Dems are running the House and maybe the Senate? They’ll be getting screamed at by all the fascists who were screaming at them under Obama. It’ll be back to 2008. Twenty years, nothing fundamentally changed

      Nor do you deserve to.

      You created the culture that put him there. You allow him to remain there. None of the problems associated with Trump have much to do with Trump and have everything to do with your broken culture.

        you wield that brush of blame much too wildly. it’s still a minority who support that shit. his “victory” was engineered by a well organized group of neo-nazis spearheaded by the Heritage Foundation and aided by vote rigging.

    We really need to address how so many people have “being correct” confused with “people don’t tell me I’m wrong”.

    I used to walk by the same crazy person on a street corner that would yell about all types of crazy random shit. Hundreds if not thousands of people walked by them every day, and 99.999% of them wouldn’t engage to tell them they’re wrong.

    Only an idiot like trump would proclaim that means people agree with them.

    But this stupid fuck really thinks that changing a name changes reality. I don’t think they have the object permanence to realize these are real things happening outside of their view. If they can’t see it, they just want to hear good things so they can pretend everything is good.

    They don’t give a fuck about reality, they just get mad when someone doesn’t let them stick their heads in the sand.

    They can’t/won’t/don’t accept reality, and that’s why logic doesn’t work.

    Trump should keep going.

    He should raname the Atlantic, the American Ocean…

    Rename the moon Trump. Not Trumpworld, just Trump

    Antarctica is now Cold America. We can’t expect Trump or MAGA to comprehend America Australis

    Canada is now Canadian America even though it makes no sense. Greenland is now Green America even though it’s famously not Green at all, but glacial white.

    I want to see if Google and Apple will still humor him, no matter how unhinged he gets. I want to see them shouting to the world how Trump is absolutely the best-dressed emperor in the world.
