  • Intuition is about the only thing it has. It’s a statistical system. The problem is it doesn’t have logic. We assume because its computer based that it must be more logic oriented but it’s the opposite. That’s the problem. We can’t get it to do logic very well because it basically feels out the next token by something like instinct. In particular it doesn’t mask or disconsider irrelevant information very well if two segments are near each other in embedding space, which doesn’t guarantee relevance. So then the model is just weighing all of this info, relevant or irrelevant to a weighted feeling for the next token.

    This is the core problem. People can handle fuzzy topics and discrete topics. But we really struggle to create any system that can do both like we can. Either we create programming logic that is purely discrete or we create statistics that are fuzzy.

    Of course this issue of masking out information that is close in embedding space but is irrelevant to a logical premise is something many humans suck at too. But high functioning humans don’t and we can’t get these models to copy that ability. Too many people, sadly many on the left in particular, not only will treat association as always relevant but sometimes as equivalence. RE racism is assoc with nazism is assoc patriarchy is historically related to the origins of capitalism ∴ nazism ≡ capitalism. While national socialism was anti-capitalist. Associative thinking removes nuance. And sadly some people think this way. And they 100% can be replaced by LLMs today, because at least the LLM is mimicking what logic looks like better though still built on blind association. It just has more blind associations and finetune weighting for summing them. More than a human does. So it can carry that to mask as logical further than a human who is on the associative thought train can.

    The important thing is she didn’t die from the Cartels. Do you know how many politicians have been taken out by cartels in the last year. Just recently in April down in Chipas a cartel got 538 politicians to resign all on the same day and murdered 38.

    To be a politician in Mexico from any party you need blessings from the right people.











  • You are always welcome to change that.

    I am trying to make it more balanced. In an ideal world I would like it to be here: https://img.gvid.tv/i/4EhvD43g.png

    But like I said elsewhere I’m not in the market of controlling what other people think so I’m going to let people who decide they want to influence what the site becomes do exactly that. Influence it. Anyone can.

    I think this is one of the benefits of positional posts. On every site it seems that there has to be a conflict over who occupies it in exclusion to others. But what if these people just interacted less? What if people who want to see only posts like their way of thinking could get exactly that. And people who want to see an uncurrated representation of all thought could see that. That’s the benefit of positional posts plus letting people weigh the factors of the algorithm themselves.

    Maybe small free speech sites always end up dominated by the wrong people because the right people give up too easily. The problem is it relegates every small project to being one thing no matter how unique a project is or what kind of cool potential it has unless that project engages in the same kind of control that made us hate reddit. All because one side wants to fight to promote their ideas and another side just wants to be comfortable.
