When reading that “chatGPT lost a chess game against an Atari 2600” people need to remember that asking chatGPT to play against any chess-specific software, no matter how old, it’s functionally the same that trying to beat it to googling every move and just picking whatever result comes first.
(This is not an excuse for chatGPT, it’s a reminder that expecting any kind of intelligent behavior from an LLM is fucking bonkers, especially for non-deterministic problems)
“MAGA, like other iterations of authoritarian and fascist politics, thrives on the invocation of a vast and implacable enemy within that requires the dramatic exercise of emergency authorities and extraordinary measures to defeat it. But executing that invocation in the first place requires what’s technically known as “making shit up.””
sorry i’m reblogging this again but this just makes me so fucking angry. this reminds me of those dudes running game of thrones who had virtually no experience and were allowed to just. treat a multimillion dollar franchise as their little fuck-around-and-learn-about-tv sandbox. why are white men with no credentials allowed to get away with this over and over again while the rest of us have to fight tooth and nail for literal crumbs. i fucking hate the entertainment industry
tfw you realize you put more thought into your self indulgent fanfic in middle school than someone in charge of a multimillion dollar franchise that employs thousands of people and is watched by millions.
