There is no knowing or not knowing or intelligence or not intelligence inside an LLM tool. There is only predicting the next token.

Agree. Token predicting machines will continue to be token predicting machines by nature. Continued size and tuning will have the effect of making them more and more perfect at being average.

Man, I am so tired of reading slop.

It's an extremely accurate definition of what we genuinely believe. There is no ulterior motive. There is no hidden agenda. It's very simple, and we're all confused why it even needs to be a 'thing.'

It does not mean that at all.

This thread is full of idiots who think they're geniuses.

No, keep in mind not all of us are brainwashed libs, even though we still care about the impact of social media on society.

I doubt we think as differently as you believe. I am just a user experience designer. There is a wide, wide rift between what users desire and what will actually solve their problems. I'm paid to reconcile that difference. I do not int

I guess you did not appreciate any corrections I might have. More seriously, I think you would be surprised at the variety of human experience that’s not covered by your ideals here.

"precisely zero" was an exaggeration to be sure, but it's rather close to reality. Look up a Fermi problem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi_problem That's a good place to start with these kinds

First, in no world am I arguing that I personally get to decide what is good or bad. Lord no. Second, your argument devolves to everyone should be able to decide what to do for themselves or their company without discussion about what is go

That last point is the kicker to me. We need to start understanding that there is no such thing as a natural state of freedom; there is only freedom from and freedom to, within specific environmental constraints and power structures. We are

The key difference here is that the speech is already highly managed and influenced to a degree never before seen in history. To think otherwise would be foolish. Twitter isn't some natural state of the world that is pristine and unass

The worst argument for designing an experience is that users want it. We can do far better. But I get your point. Realistically this has to be a societal change that demands better social media platforms, not something just thrown into the

Very funny; not arguing for censorship here, but for the design of social media technology that reinforces humanity and not primitive dopamine hit engagement driven advertising. What people say is not the problem. Anyway, we are already in

by calinet6 6y ago
It makes more sense when you think about the fact that society is already engineered to be in some state, and the power of social media companies appears to be influencing that in the wrong direction. If you're okay with putting societ

I don't think it needs to be everyone. If we can think about 5% of the population who simply have different life situations and backgrounds having a better appreciation for why they think what they do, and those 5% become less extreme

I do not think we need to manage speech or control discourse whatsoever. If you think that's the idea here, you're not thinking deep enough about the nature of the systems that are problematic right now. We've designed commun

by calinet6 6y ago
You're right. The way we design our social platforms has a gigantic impact on how people see each other, and talk to each other, and the impact that has on us. Perhaps the problem isn't the self-reinforcement, but rather the platf

By saying I have no horse in the race, I'm saying that I'm trying to take an objective viewpoint on what is happening and what impact that has, not that I have no opinions or moral positions on the matter. Keep those separate. Kee

I would say you're not looking wide enough here. Absolute free speech isn't a problem in isolation by any means; but there are impacts to the ability of that to grow into self-reinforcing belief that doesn't match reality. On

The problem is not on HN. Making changes here will have precisely zero impact on society.

by calinet6 6y ago
Both! We all need to understand each other better, and off of the internet.

by calinet6 6y ago
Agree. It will be difficult to design such a system. One of the reasons I strongly believe that design—not engineering technology—will be the limiting factor and defining practice for the 2020's.

by calinet6 6y ago
No. I'm saying that censorship isn't the long-term solution here, because it's untenable from a human rights perspective as well as simply a functional perspective (people don't like it). We'll need to find somethin

It's not a gripe, it's a reality. I have no horse in this race other than the systemic outcome. Censorship (or official annotation, let's call it) was an attempt to curb the tribalism or put some controls on the spread of it;

At some point we'll need to deal with the fact that the clubs self-reinforce any beliefs the tribe wants to put forward, and isolate them further from society, creating true problems for actually running said society. At some point we&

I think it just delays a bigger problem, kicks the can down the road. In 2-4 years' time, we'll have an even bigger festering cesspool of self-reinforced beliefs than ever before, and an more difficult time having rational discour

by calinet6 6y ago
This is exactly it. The instant communication has created instant reinforcement for the tribe. It's something our minds aren't really ready to handle. I agree there may not be a solution, given the technology we now have and the m
