    I’m currently taking a beginners python course and one of the chapter project examples breaks down basic sentence structure based on parts like nouns, prepositions, etc. The idea is to make several dictionaries based on these sentence parts with different words associated with them and then randomly pick words from them in the right order to make a cohesive (although not always intelligible) sentence. I figure most LLMs use a much bigger version of that with even more defined dictionaries to better encapsulate certain responses based on the topic.

    There’s nothing in that kind of program structure that would even come close to implying it’s alive. LLMs are just a fancy version of Mad Libs.





  • Be wary of tankies. What are tankies? It’s a pejorative term for authoritarian communists who will claim Pol Pot, Mao, and Stalin have done nothing wrong. They also support modern day Russia even though they’re supposedly a liberal democracy because they’re likely Russian psy ops guys.

    We’re still a pretty small community here and you’ll see a lot of familiar usernames but you’ll eventually fit right in to our tapestry of performative outrage and bickering. Depending on your home instance, you may not be able to see all the fediverse communities. I recommend hopping around until you find one that fits your style, like dbzer0.








  • We can only yell at them so much. Someone like Fetterman likely has a lucrative gig with some lobbying group or think tank set up after this. They can easily do their damage as instructed and then duck out when the next primary comes by to challenge them. I want a recall mechanism that takes weeks/months to do rather than wait 6 years where they can still thwart any meaningful bills in the meantime.

    Getting a recall mechanism approved though would be next to impossible as the ones who have the power to make that rule wouldn’t want to.
