his entire shtick is that he thought everyone was as obsessed with the birds and the bees as he was

I hate that people call it artificial intelligence

There is nothing about it that is intelligent

i feel it helps at this point to remind people that sigmund freud and all of his patients were addicted to cocaine

literally the first result from Google for “OpenAI interpretability papers” is a paper where they. are trying to understand LLM neuron activation. this is not hard to find??

like I can’t believe you’re making me defend fucking OpenAI but there are definitely people working on this

Artificial, the macchine

how’d you do in that class, fol user who is notably mute in social situations

this is because cocaine was prescribed as psychiatric treatment in the case of the patients. and uh, because Freud in the case of freud

I FUCKING LOVE SIGMUND FREUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

excuse me
that is using the AI to do it
that’s not actually attempting to understand the AI, that’s attempting to show off

running a woodchipper through a woodchipper doesn’t help you understand the woodchipper

it is really funny though. i’ll give them that

one of sigmund freud’s pupils once said “sometimes a cigarette is just a cigarette”

Do you think you could build a woodchipper without the understanding of the woodchipper

we would go outside to record. I chose Not To though and someone else did it for me. In getting someone else to do it for me I have befriended the most tolerable person in my class because hes just a Normal Guy. he does normal guy things.
when in high school i delayed the hell out of my music tech assignments because they required us to record our own voice. i cant do voice recordings even worse

don’t humans do this too

no i was mostly being pithy, i understand how neural nets can develop beyond their creators’ understanding, it’s just, like

“we literally identified the specific neurons involved in producing LLM outputs [in some circumstances, because this is in fact hard to do]”

“you used an AI to help you rather than ???somehow having a human personally analyze over a billion parameters?? so clearly you aren’t really trying to understand it. I am very smart”

put people through woodchippers?
