Cookie Thread Act 3: The Cookie Strikes Back

the fact that you felt bad about contributing to people’s murders doesn’t absolve you of the fucking guilt

fucking scum.

you’re conflating a number of different claims and treating them as broadly equivalent when they aren’t

“no one at OpenAI/other AI companies has tried to understand their AIs” - blatantly false

“the only way they’ve tried to understand their AIs is by having the AI explain the AI” - also blatantly false

“no one at OpenAI has made more than minimal progress at actually understanding their AIs” - clearly true imo, I don’t think most people at OpenAI/etc. would even dispute this

“OpenAI is trying less harder than they Ought To to understand their AIs” - probably true, but doesn’t prove or disprove any of your other claims

“an LLM could never tell you that the entire basis for the field is inherently flawed” - technically false in the sense that I could surely get ChatGPT to write an argument for it, if I’m not being pedantic then it’s just not very relevant? like if you’re trying to understand the inner workings of the AI, you can try to do that whether or not the entire basis of the field is inherently flawed

“LLMs are not very useful for ?useful real world things?” - entirely different claim with little relationship to the previous ones

“OpenAI is bad” - entirely different claim with little relationship to the previous ones

I feel exactly zero guilt over working at a company providing munitions to Ukraine and if you think I should that’s a lol from me dawg

I am wondering if you’re an alt or a random newcomer who had the fortunate timing to enter the cookie thread at a timing like this

She was naked around children

if you think about it if orange didn’t do it someone else would and at least orange has some say in what he does I think

like yeah sure it sucks balls to be a random russian conscript pulled into a fight you want no part in but that’s not something I have any power over and neither does anybody else on this forum

yeah but you control what you work for or do

like that technology is just going to be used for that fucking war
your actions have lead to a 0.01% increase in the efficiency in the murder of yemeni civilians and you should feel like scum for that

orange literally said they were contracted for ukraine what

“wow we used the woodchipper to develop a predictive model for which specific parts of the woodchipper are being activated when we press the button that chips wood, something which we previously did not know (the woodchipper analogy kind of breaks down here). this is really really hard because our woodchipper is made of billions of parts, which is why we can’t just have a human look at the circuitry. despite this, we were still able to develop a predictive model for which parts of the woodchipper are activated when we press the chip wood button, and compare the predictions to which parts of the woodchipper actually end up being used (something which we otherwise would not be able to predict).”
