Who ever started the whole enlightenment thing, with the idea that there is no god and we are responsible for our self.

Fair point.
Also OP recognized that it sounds elitist, which I initially just agreed with. Not sure why you interpret this as a bad faith argument.
Is generalizing large amount of people, just because they signed to another instance a good contribution to anything?
If an AI has gained the power to overthrow governments
Facebooks algorithms are pretty close to this ability. But AI is not the problem - artificial consciousnesses would be, since it would gain own agency. And for all we know consciousnesses might be just a byproduct of a complex enough neuronal network with enough recursive loops and it already managed to appear more or less random at least once.
Now I may just be an elitist fuck
Sounds about right.
Mask of apocalyptic cult arrives.
I like to aimlessly walk around and see where I land.
The big MacBook Pro was shit. Almost switched to other brand after it.
Apple actually pioneered and pushed USB-C use with their Macbooks which had only USB-C ports. Pretty sure they kept lightning out of pure greed.
But people started using it for small groups, for some reason. They had somehow amazing PR.
The question was about irreversible consequences, not the best way to get into drug use. The later you start, the more stable you brain is - the less consequential it will be for your development. Not hating on drugs by the way, drugs are awesome. But they do mess with your brain.
Zoom was used a lot for small groups. Maybe for 500 - 1000 there is not much - not my user case. But people started to use it for small group meetings, and the the audio quality (in the sense how it manages multiple people talking) was always better with other software.
The later you start doing drugs the better.
Skype, hangouts, discord.
How zoom managed to become a thing, while alternatives already existed and were rather well known is beyond me.
I`v seen the fly, fuck this shit.
I think you are just in a bubble where you don’t have much contact with dumb people. I would have thought the same during my university time, but chosing not academia or science for that matter opened a whole new wold of ignorance for me. By the way - maybe our brain is just a Markov Model prediction machine and consciousness ist just an illusion, would not surprise me much if we are not that different from LLMs. But that is even more speculative.
To be clear, I’m not talking about underlying mechanisms, either, but the approach to the task. A human writer, even one bad at writing and not understanding the topic, will approach the writing with a goal and write to that goal and topic. They can even research if they so choose, but even if they are just making things up, there is intent and context there.
You never made an experience of having to writer for a topic you genuinely don’t care about, where you just string along words, vaguely related to the topic to make specific word count? I’m not arguing that all human writing is like this - people are definitely capable of writing text with purpose and context, at least some. But that is not all human writing.
It literally just generates words that match certain patterns, with no actual purpose or goal.
And exactly that was my point, that humans often do the same. Not all the time. But it definitely happens, especially in professional writing where you maybe have to write about a topic you don’t understand or care about.
It can’t reason, it can’t research,
And again, there are tons of people out there that can’t do this things either. It’s like a very intelligent chimpanzee is smarter than a very dumb human. So are LLMs better at generating text than quite a lot of humans.
Some are and some aren’t. Like a lot of folks on here are here because reddit went to shit.
