It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

We are entering a brave new era of table knocking, quakery, seances, and generally buffoonery.
I hate trying to assess what llms are even doing. Half the people who know enough about llms and "ai" don't know anything about intelligence or language so they might have some kind of idea about what the math is doing, but they're obviously stuck in lala land when explaining what that means in terms of cognition, or even if the stupid things can in any way manipulate abstract symbols.
There are so many true believers, hucksters, truth seekers, snake oil salesmen, and wierdos. Now bing apparently has an integrated ai buddy and god knows what it does.
And i'm extremely skeptical and i want nothing to do with ai "art" , and i'm worried i'll get left behind as people jump on it and start building tools around it whether it works or not. : p
as my college proffessor on machine learning used to say "AI has literally nothing to say about cognition we sometimes use the language of cognition as a metaphor but it's not what we do here we're statistical modelers and anyone who thinks we have anything of value to contribute to neuroscience is an arrogant moron"
Please tell your professor I love them.
"machine learning" is one of the biggest buzzwords in academia right now. Oh you did some "physics-informed machine learning"? you mean you did some regression based off a governing equation? 🙄
