       > .. ChatGPT is, in technical terms, a 'bullshit generator'. If a generated sentence makes sense to you, the reader, it means the mathematical model has made sufficiently good guess to pass your sense-making filter. The language model has no idea what it's talking about because it has no idea about anything at all. It's more of a bullshitter than the most egregious egoist you'll ever meet.. https://www.danmcquillan.org/chatgpt.html/HT @danmcquillan #OnBullshit #MachineGeneratedText #ChatGPT #AI

       > Instead of expressing wonder, we should be asking whether it's justifiable to burn energy at "eye watering" rates to power the world's largest bullshit machine.... the social benefits are still speculative while the harms have been empirically demonstrated. #Bullshit #IllegitimateAuthority #SDGs

       > That allegedly well-informed commentators can infer that ChatGPT will be used for "cutting staff workloads" rather than for further staff cuts illustrates a general failure to understand AI as a political project... This part reminds me of Arundhati Roy's concerns in 2018!   @danmcquillan

       > When human beings become surplus, that’s where these smart nukes and chemical and biological warfare .. things.. genocidal.. worry me.. I do see a time when the masters of the universe will decide that the universe is a better place without most of the population. Artificial intelligence is a way of becoming the perfect human being, which fascists have always thought about.. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2018/jun/17/arundhati-roy-interview-you-ask-the-questions-the-point-of-the-writer-is-to-be-unpopular #ArundhatiRoy on #AI #MastersOfTheUniverse
