I have been thinking about a science fiction story about an traveler from a parallel world coming here and going ‘huh wtf, why didn’t your computers create a revolution’, and then he finally figures out it is because in his universe Dijkstra got hit into an accident before he could write the ‘you should start counting at zero’ paper. By which I’m saying, blame the Dutch.
Going to write an llm that in 5% of the cases tell people asking the question ‘no’ or starts to argue with them. Just to mess with the “it is self aware” people.
(Im kidding here, it would ruin those peoples mental health, and as people would not believe you after you reveal the trick (see ELIZA), it would make our own lives worse).
Of course he is. It is me, im Yudocus.
To be clear, I would be impressed with a dog that wrote the same story, but only because it was a dog.
Lol
Also an extremely good false positive rate
Holy jokes batman, that would have been better.
Sorry but you are wrong, they have one emotion, and it is mega horny, the pon far (or something, im not a trekky, my emotions are light, dark and grey side, as kotor taught me).
Thats worse you say?
Don’t worry, the people who would go and accuse you of being a pedophile would do so with or without this tool. It would just give them faux legitimacy.
E: post + profile picture was a lol moment however.
Yeah including people you dont like ‘accidentally’ is a big risk. Also per definition the data only includes known/convicted pedos.
The implication here that it isnt methodically flawed is quite something.
E: and I don’t have the inclination for to do the math, but a 97% accuracy seems to be on the unusable side considering the rate of ‘criminals’ vs not-criminals in the population. (Yeah, see also ‘wtf even is a criminal’).
The war on weird looking people continues. (The false positive/negative rate of this bs is immense. Wait a 69% succes rate? Ow god the false positives on that are going to be immense (even worse, the model works worse than random chance on a online game dataset, and then also the statistical uselessness of 69% due to low amount of pedos in general public isn’t even mentioned in the conclusions, toss this where it belongs, in the dustbin of history).
wikipedia talk pages: what is wrong with you people
Sorry this remark is a WP:NAS, WP:SDHJS, WP:NNNNNNANNNANNAA and WP:ASDF violation.
This kind of stuff, which seems to hit a lot harder than the anti trump stuff, makes me feel that a vance presidency would implode quite quickly due to other maga toadies trying to backstab toadkid here.
For me it feels like this is pre ai/cryptocurrency bubble pop. But with luck (as the maga gov infusions of both fail, and actually quicken the downfall (Musk/Trump like it so it must be iffy), if we are lucky). Sadly it will not be like the downfall of enron, as this is all very distributed, so I fear how much will be pulled under).
I’d assume that is very intentional, nominative determinism is one of those things a lot of LW style people like. (Scott Alexander being a big one, which has some really iffy implications (which I fully think is a coincidence btw)).
It wasn’t really done that much during the era when Scott A was called the new leader of lesswrong so not sure if it has increased again. I assume a lot still do, as I assume a lot also pretend to have read it. Never looked into any stats, or if those stats are public. I know they put them all on a specific site in 2015. (https://www.readthesequences.com/) The bibliography is a treat (esp as it starts with pop sci books, and a SSC blog post, but also: “Banks, Iain. The Player of Games. Orbit, 1989.”, and not one but 3 of the Doc EE Smith lensmen books).
I did a quick search on Ribbonfarm (I couldn’t recall what his blog was called quickly) myself. And see how much I had forgotten, it should have been called meta-rationality, and yes, insight porn, that was the term. (linking to two posts where ribbonfarm/this stuff was discussed).
E: Sad feels when you click on a name in the sub from years ago and see them now being a full blast AI bro.
The CAPTCHA failed to load properly for me at first, and then was mega slow. Quality custom implementation of a (wrapper around a) CAPTCHA, millions of EA money well spent.
We talked about that on r/sneerclub in the past, can’t recall the specific consensus. Seems post-rational, has innovation on rationalism from binary ‘object vs meta’ to 2x2 grids.
A while back they found a trick to make sure a person using a vpn routed all their traffic via a controlled server, wonder if that got fixed.
