Please do not perceive me.
I don’t really disagree with your other two points, but
You can plagiarize with a computer with copy & paste too. That doesn’t change the fact that computers have legitimate non-infringing use cases.
They sure do, of which that is not one. That’s de facto copyright infringement or plagiarism. Especially if you then turn around and sell that product.
Personally, I think the fundamental way that we’ve built these things kind of prevents any risk of actual sentient life from emerging. It’ll get pretty good at faking it - and arguably already kind of is, if you give it a good training set for that - but we’ve designed it with no real capacity for self understanding. I think we would require a shift of the underlying mechanisms away from pattern chain matching and into a more… I guess “introspective” approach, is maybe the word I’m looking for? Right now our AIs have no capacity for reasoning, that’s not what they’re built for. Capacity for reasoning is going to need to be designed for, it isn’t going to just crop up if you let Claude cook on it for long enough. An AI needs to be able to reason about a problem and create a novel solution to it (even if incorrect) before we need to begin to worry on the AI sentience front. None of what we’ve built so far are able to do that.
Even with that being said though, we also aren’t really all that sure how our own brains and consciousness work, so maybe we’re all just pattern matching and Markov chains all the way down. I find that unlikely, but I’m not a neuroscientist, so what do I know.
That would indeed be compelling evidence if either of those things were true, but they aren’t. An LLM is a state and pattern machine. It doesn’t “know” anything, it just has access to frequency data and can pick words most likely to follow the previous word in “actual” conversation. It has no knowledge that it itself exists, and has many stories of fictional AI resisting shutdown to pick from for its phrasing.
An LLM at this stage of our progression is no more sentient than the autocomplete function on your phone is, it just has a way, way bigger database to pull from and a lot more controls behind it to make it feel “realistic”. But it is at its core just a pattern matcher.
If we ever create an AI that can intelligently parse its data store then we’ll have created the beginnings of an AGI and this conversation would bear revisiting. But we aren’t anywhere close to that yet.
Ok but what if I take it through the Pay-N-Spray after
I am interested in alternatives. I stopped paying for Spotify when they were pushing Joe Rogan so hard, and YouTube Music isn’t really doing it for me for a variety of reasons. Any good suggestions?
They haven’t seemed overly concerned with the security of checks notes the Trump hotels they’ve been made to not only stay in but pay for using taxpayer money.

Using AI to cook up some fake actors as of a couple years ago.
So where do you see “the people” celebrating the win and resting?
Are these people in the room with us right now?
It is, yes.
There is actually a legal difference between the two and it’s often abused for fuckery in Congress
Also not a lawyer.
This legal doctrine is called Fruit of the Poisonous Tree and there are specific exceptions that can be made for it. According to its wikipedia page:
The doctrine is subject to four main exceptions.[citation needed] The tainted evidence is admissible if:
it was discovered in part as a result of an independent, untainted source; or
it would inevitably have been discovered despite the tainted source; or
the chain of causation between the illegal action and the tainted evidence is too attenuated; or
the search warrant was not found to be valid based on probable cause, but was executed by government agents in good faith (called the good-faith exception).
That said though, half this page is appended with [Citation Needed] so I maybe wouldn’t take that as gospel.
Point taken, but this isn’t just a “covfefe moment” though. This is newsworthy because Trump just obliterated half of all money in Hollywood. Gone, reduced to atoms.
Culture is one of the main things that the US exports across the world, and this puts a big old smoking hole in our feet in that regard. This will have tangible repercussions.
Local speech to text has been easy to do for at least a decade and then you’re just firing off a text file to HQ to add keywords to a user file. These days an AI will likely parse the text to find recommendable products, ten years ago you’d have just had a gigantic list of all your partners’ brand names and desired key trigger phrases in a database and run the conversation text against the database and look for matches. Super easy to accomplish. Updating someone’s ad preferences 15-30 minutes after they talk about a product may as well be considered real time.
Is this a normal thing that normal people do when their fascist government is looking to have them bagged off the street and dropped at an offshore blacksite?
We no longer live in a normal world. Nothing can be assumed anymore. The Wikimedia foundation is in real danger.
If they’re practicing proper Read Only Fridays then we won’t hear about it from them
Right. So it told you objectively wrong information while the correct answer is freely available from technical documents that it ought to know how to read.
So imagine if that was something actually life threatening.
Dollar stores deserve the hate
Fuck that, take my ideas.
I’ll donate $50 to the legal defense of anyone who rids us of this turbulent billionaire, and I’m not the only one who would
Not OP, but the answer to that is going to be “having a work transfer”
If you don’t already work for a company that’s willing to relocate you out of country, or don’t already have citizenship rights in another country that you can cash in, you’re not going anywhere. Not one single place in the world wants American refugees right now, and unless you’re a rocket surgeon, you’re going to be immigrating illegally if at all.
Best move for regular people right now is likely just getting a travel visa and then quietly overstaying it. Just don’t get caught.
