I think the military industrial complex started out growing its profits by actually growing out productive capacity for arms, then during the W Bush era increased profits by replacing everything with private contractors, and they're now trying to increase profits by not actually doing the work they're paid for. Like the history of industrial capitalism, neoliberal capitalism, and finance capitalism playing out at triple speed.

I don't think I've ever seen 100% on a poll of any significant size, ever.

You won't get 100% on "does gravity exist?" or "are you breathing air right now?"

What value is my vote supposed to have if a candidate can get it regardless of what they do?

I hope "anarkiddy" becomes the new "tankie" and all the MLs in the audience have to put up with being called it. It's only fair that we swap once in a while.

I couldn't find the cost of this project specifically, but China's total space budget is $12 billion a year.

Nah, fuck that. People shouldn't have to be on constant guard for companies lying to them, even if the lies are delivered poorly.

LLMs are text prediction engines. They predict what comes after the previous text. They were trained on a large corpus of raw unfiltered internet, because that's the only thing available that actually has enough data (there is no good training set), then fine-tuned on smaller samples of hand-written and curated question/answer format "as an AI assistant boyscout" text. When the previous text gets too weird for the hand-curated stuff to be relevant to its predictions, it essentially reverts to raw internet. The most likely text to come after weird poorly written horror copypasta is more weird poorly written horror copypasta, so it predicts more, and then it's fed its previous output and told to predict what comes next, and it spirals into more of that.

Zelensky opens up his closet.

It's all the same green shirt and pants, like a cartoon character.

I wonder what the AI makers will choose to do:

  • Train models on the full dataset, and have them come out trash because even a little AI-generated content poisons the training data

  • Train models only on pre-2020 data, and have it be completely out of date on news and culture

  • Train a markov model instead, because you don't need the cutting edge to generate "epic bacon narwhal le gentlesir"
