    Oh yeah, because when I see Egyptian hieroglyphs, I think sexy beasts.

    The point is not the anthropomorphism. The point is related tothe deliberate sexual undertone. And I’m not even a prude. I don’t care much about what people prefer. It’s just that the Internet broke us.

    It’s like the word “cuck” (ugh.) A scholar may use it in the utmost right context, and yet, all that word does is infuriate me because of the overuse the The_Donald crowd gave to it.




  • I know, right?

    When the whole AI generated art was sort of like a novelty a year ago, that’s exactly what I thought.

    “Fuck. A lot of cool-looking things will be cheapened or devalued because they’ll be generated, not created.”

    And sure, sure, there’s art in coming up with a nice prompt. I guess there’s art in coming up with tax exemptions too.















  • Such a clickbaity article.

    Here’s the meat of it:

    Have they finally achieved consciousness and this is how they show it?!

    No. The answer, as is usually the case with these things, is that we are anthropomorphizing a step too far. These models don’t care about what is and isn’t random. They don’t know what “randomness” is! They answer this question the same way they answer all the rest: by looking at their training data and repeating what was most often written after a question that looked like “pick a random number.” The more often it appears, the more often the model repeats it.
