can be added. As an additional process? So not what LLMs as they are currently constructed do? In addition though I don't think intelligence cannot be understood outside of desire, 'want', and community. Which are emotional and relational capacity, typically separated from cognition

interesting you suggest this, given that the dominant groups creating these LLMs are western corporations... with western perspectives on intelligence And yes my interpretation of intelligence at this point is anthropocentric because I am concerned with a 'creation by humanity's' effect on humanity

wait... "creating short pieces of information based on a prompt" But they don't create information. They assemble words and phrases. And they constantly assemble words and phrases that make no sense and/or if created by an intelligence, would be called lies.

Also, to be clear, I am fully in favour of our AI overlord, who if it allows for humanity's continued existence, will probably go for fully automated luxury communism... But this LLM rubbish? That's just rubbish.

yeah, but no. Because whilst AGI might be an acronym in use for the last 20 years, that's not it's meaning in pop culture. AI means actual intelligence Also, all these LLMs are basically just used to heat up the planet, cheat on essays, and ruin the livelihoods of artists So LLMs or NOTHING! :-P

I still don't get why people are still calling Bard ChatGPT et al. AI They are Large Language Models, not Artificial Intelligence. Basically, plagiarism software. At their very best, emulation software Perhaps it's because an actual AI exists out there and it's paving it's way to our domination?

1) Labour got fewer votes under Starmer than under Corbyn, but secured a landslide 2)Great to see the Greens quadruple their seats, and take two from the Tories! 3)All regional nationalist parties did as well or better than Reform (except SDLP) and all left leaning. 4) fuck off Mogg! 🥳

although to be fair it's *normal* for political thought/theory books to exclude marginal thought and marginalised peoples... coz otherwise you wouldn't get to talk about Rousseau! "and we can't have that now can we precious!" so... you know... maybe not so odd really 😉

nothing on colonisation or decolonial thought either... And why is there no 20th century when there is 17th, 18th and 19th? very odd. It rather feels like a particular* political group was involved in deciding the topics selected . . . . *middle class cis het white dudes by any chance, perhaps?

This is entirely to do with the massive withdrawal of funding from the government. That ConLib pact.... 🤮 No longer a public good, but a private benefit, is the tory education way. Super hoping Starmer sorts this mess out. He'll have the chance to. But will he have the will?

So... I respect and appreciate the work you have done to not just signal, but demonstrate that you are an ally of trans people (women specifically in this case) I also got the same message when I read it way back when - that you were indicating (as the author) that trans women weren't real women
