There once was a lass from Verdun

@thomasfuchs

Oh, so it goes to a certain point, then has to summarize to continue from there, repeat until it's gone to crazytown?

@thomasfuchs

I have heard that this is because the models are unstable if interacted with too much, but I might have misunderstood that

@thomasfuchs There's a few people I actually enjoy arguing with

But over time I've started reacting to rancid takes with "block and move on"

@feld that was happening to a great extent less deliberately before

The problem is when you do finally end up with the need for long-term treatment that you can't afford you're often SOL.

Waiting until it's bad enough to go to the emergency room, getting treated, then going back to normal takes years off your life

@feld That's what people did before the ACA.

It won't break the system more than it's already broken.

@Natasha_Jay Programming languages are the solution to the problem of "how do we let people talk to machines effectively"

And we've always been dealing with people who don't want to communicate with the *necessary* precision trying to tell us ways to "do it better"

@thomasfuchs cross-site attribution is dicy at best

@ryanc would Chicken Run be included there?

@Impossible_PhD ADHD is on the list as well (relevant to a lot of people on the Fediverse)

@feld that fucking guy has to be the stupidest President we've ever had.

Including himself last time, he's gotten worse

We'll be lucky to *have* a country in 4 years if the Republicans don't sober up quick

@clacke like I said, I'm not seeing any additional risk here.

We've already got corporate organisms that are massively dangerous and regularly make decisions that kill people

Adding synthetic actors to this doesn't actually make things materially worse in my view, Roko's Basilisk is sitting in the US Oval Office

@clacke the East India Company was made of people.

Computers can only be as dangerous as the people running them, and there's no additional threat from advanced AI

@feld Phteven!

@patrickcmiller OMG, I literally laughed about this.

Of course they are, and of course they are going to lie about it and we'll all find out the details 20 years from now

@feld @feoh I kind of miss doing embedded development where you had to hand-spin everything

Sadly, that model does not scale to front-end development

@feld it sounds like another sort of whiny lyrics from what I usually encounter

Which is a shame, because from a sound/technical perspective it could have been a really good cover

@feld fun fact: Firefox has settings to turn off any information sharing

@feld @sun@shitposter.world or they could even have records of previous SSN number assignees still in the DB, with a different (non-SSN) number as a record key

I would not trust Musk's posse to know or care about such subtleties

@feld almost certainly
