ChatGPT has its uses, but I still hate it – and I’ll tell you why | Imogen West-Knights
(This is from The Guardian. The NYT has entire sections that see AI creep, e.g. tech, business, or education. Big Tech is skewing election candidates and could possibly slat academic contests. In the industry, project teams shuffle participants at different stages while others, possibly stockholders, evaluate their odds. Chatter involves EQ at different experience levels. In the culture, legitimacy depends on credibility, and thus credit. Early entries are subject to cuts, those long in the tooth to algorithms like DOGE. AI has its own issues hampering its growth. Democracy claims to favor the individual and is more existentialist. Responsible, transparent, open-source, and those sorts of values are derived. Then sovereignty and security. Or surtaxes. Gets pretty thick which is what these many parameter models excel at in matching patterns compared to the single or few dimensional depictions that people are superficially capable of . But it misses nuances and conflates opposites, so again it is up to an observer and that becomes their reality. Lots of fun for the puzzle-minded. The press itself assumes language capacity and may benefit from a stretch in accessibility. The dialectic of wealth and power that it referees, now funding and regulations, itself faces competition from ... you-guessed-it. Shades of Wezenbaum and the Good Ol' Fascist. Luckily it also serves well for censorship and propaganda. Tech knows this, clear as an Azure sky. Waiting on Voight-Kampf test. Ack Ack.)

(ChatGPT was able to read and comment upon this article. Elsewhere, it was possible to setup the Chatbot voices for critical thinking, system analysis, or strategic analysis, going so far as to have Claude speak in radio comms briefings. Waiting on the cosmic codex.)

(Hope in cybernetics seems to be begging the question. The upshot may have been that it was great for stress disorders since they won't remember the pain. As always, if something fails, things are left to the alternative, and may thus get reinvented again.)

Gary Marcus on X: "my disappointment with the e/acc community is that they never engage in intellectual argument, only name calling. unfortunately, my disappointment with the EA and x-risk community is not entirely different; for all their talk of rationalism, they rarely engage directly with" / X

(Diogenes had also split philosophy into physics, ethics, and dialectic or, to oversimplify, world, life, and reason. The ancients for him are deep history now. Also criticized for deriving that from poets, or satire that somehow finds its way to doctrine to this day. This way of life may seem comic to the ancestors, but the point may be that the time for discussion is now or never. Hopefully they do not have derive things from GPT-3 or this Raindrop feed.)
