I was abused by my christian parents.
I would like to live long enough to see humanity mature out of superstition and free the world from human greed.
Their training data has nothing to do with it unless you’re using a local one without web access.
Did you know that the ones you access online are also trained?
Did you know that any chatbot that can connect to the web was given that capability?
We have robots outpacing human performance in specific tasks using neural networks.
Because they were created BY HUMANS to do exactly that.
Also, LLMs can perform on tasks they weren’t explicitly trained for.
Such as?
Again, we are stuck in a semantics debate. What I call reasoning you don’t, it seems.
It is a pattern matcher. It does not reason.
But all I know, as someone that has worked in software engineering for 25+ years, is that the output of whatever it does, and whatever you call it, is incredibly useful.
I have a degree in computer science. Irrelevant. Anyone can see that the “AI” is not intelligence.
Saying “it just generates text” is a reflexive reaction that attempts to flatten the nuance.
It’s a large language model. It generates text.
All Columbus did was sail west.
And killed indigenous people. Datacenters and shitty chatbots are killing people today, good point.
All America did was throw some fuel into a tube and put Neil Armstrong on the top.
Scientists did that, not America.
All Picasso did was to throw some paint onto a cloth.
At least he did it himself instead of prompting an image generator.
All this PhD student did was generate text.
Correct. And you seem to have learned nothing useful.
Surely we’ve got to have some more nuance in there.
LLMs can sometimes be useful. AI does not yet exist. It’s a scam.
If there’s a difference between 10000 monkeys hacking on a typewriter and a human writing their doctoral thesis, the quality of their act isn’t in whether text was generated but WHAT text was generated.
You don’t understand the metaphor. It’s about the nature of infinity, not the competency of monkeys as authors.
If you run an AI prompt infinite times, it will inevitably generate a correct answer somewhere in there. The rest of the time, it will be wrong, potentially with lethal consequences.
It can’t reason. It doesn’t think. It makes shit up as it was trained to do. It can sort of detect patterns and make a guess about what response would get it the highest score, but it’s so error-prone that a human has to verify the output anyway. It’s difficult to tell whether the perceived benefits outweigh the costs. There are many different types of LLMs and use cases.
As a person who values life and our environment, I’d rather not participate in the sloppification of our world. As a Linux user, I am wary of vibe coded flaws slipping under the radar and screwing up my system.
Yeah. We went to the moon with, like, 1 MHz CPU and 2 KB RAM.
Again:
To save us from the punishments god created for us?
If he is all-powerful, he chose to create sin.
Again:
To save us from the punishments god created for us?
You keep cherry-picking parts you think you can answer (though all you have is apologetics, fallacies) and ignoring the parts that prove your death cult is baseless and harmful.
Fucking scum, fuck you for choosing death.
There is, stop strawmanning it to “magic”
Can god make something out of nothing? That is magic. Can god reverse death? That is magic.
What’s up with the blood sacrifices and rituals? Totally-not-magic?
The Son of Man as in the Messiah. Matthew 26:64 Jesus said to him: “You have said it. Yet truly I say to you, hereafter you shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of the power of God, and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
Messiah meaning savior? To save us from the punishments god created for us?
Jesus told him to “feed my sheep”.
Jesus was kind of a dick like that, yeah. If we believe the gospels.
Jesus Christ
Again, there is no such thing as a christ, magic isn’t real.
literally said he is the Son of Man
Isn’t everyone?
and assigned Pope Peter as the “rock” of his church
And what does that mean? One of these four interpretations? https://www.gotquestions.org/upon-this-rock.html
Or something else entirely? Let’s ask Jesus. Oh right… he died.
https://www.ncronline.org/news/vaticans-condemnation-trans-surgery-new-theologians-discuss
But he also recently approved a new treatise on human dignity that lists “gender theory” and gender-affirming surgeries — which many, though not all, trans people undergo — among the “grave violations of human dignity in our time,” placing them alongside sexual abuse, human trafficking, poverty and abortion.
“The idea of promoting gender ideology is confusing because it seeks to create genders that don’t exist. So God created man and woman, and the attempt to confuse ideas from nature will only harm families and people”

Deadly ignorance.
Jesus? No, but he was used by them. Christ? Yes, complete fabrication.
That’s the point of the garden of Eden story. God made everything and everyone, but we broke his impossible rules and now he punishes us forever, to the point that infants are born with sin.
It’s a death cult.
Not too spicy, but they at least acknowledge it.
On 27 July, WMF declined to voluntarily recognize the US union. WMF stated that the union would need to pursue a formal NLRB election procedure. 404 Media viewed the WMF’s 27 July statement as using “very carefully-worded language common among companies and organizations that have fought against unionization”.
I don’t think anyone should be using Windows. It’s fascist spyware. Windows users don’t own their systems, Microsoft does.
