  • you’re assigning human traits to a computer program that is a language model that’s not actually meeting the standards of artificial intelligence, it’s a reward based system, you say ‘what is the best build for a raiper weapon in Dark Souls’, and it looks up faqs and spits out the language it expects you’re looking for. it doesn’t think and if it finds 12 joke posts on reddit saying something totally contradictory to how anyone would play the game, then it will give you the joke advice with no sense that that’s terrible. if the military is asking it how to deal with their rival military is going to look at those key words and gather language to repeat back and if that language it find is biased, prejudice, hostile, incredibly out of date, well, it’s not Intelligence, it doesn’t think or understand anything, it’s finding language, it’s giving you that language back. and if it’s looking at military documents to find that language, it’s going to see bias and prejudice and hostility and a desire to engage in war for profit and it’s going to regurgitate that back to them. it’s horrifying the military is allowing a language model that’s repeatedly been proven to magnify existing bias and prejudice if finds when looking for an answer is being allowed to process anything and is anywhere near the decision making process.


  • War Games was a computer planning planet destroying nuke attacks because it was taught to play chess and not tic tac toe. it needed to learn about pointless victory. This is a bunch of jackasses in a room buying a thinky box asking it questions and taking the answers seriously enough to go to war relieving themselves of the burden of thought and common sense. this isn’t War Games, it’s a classic Star Trek episode except Kirk never shows up to teach us that you can’t let a fucking computer program run your fucking military intelligence, because that’s INSANE. Why would you do that? you need multiple human eyes on everything going on, you can’t let a fucking language model do it for you… my god… it’s children doing their homework with AI, except their homework is the apparatus that used to enforce the rule of law on a global scale. granted, that was always a lie as it’s more the gun that enforced colonial interests, but still. a gun that decides it need to start shooting random people who could win a war against us depending on the lines drawn and the time frame is a pretty dangerous thing to let go.






  • technically they’re not wrong in that if you were sex trafficed even as a minor you likely have been convicted of sex crimes because apparently our legal system is designed to arrest and charge the person performing sex acts and not the person buying the sex act or the person who chained a minor to a bed to be raped for their source of income, but the neater solution would be to stop arresting and charging minors who are being sex trafficed with a crime.













  • the corrosion of two personalty that reshape each other until they’re incompatible, I guess. but also a lot of dysfunction. I got so good at being a grey rock in the face of their exciting need to be excited by constantly fighting that they got bored of trying to get a reaction out of me and I got tired of the panic attacks and suicidal thoughts. Anyway, separation has been nice, but having kids means you’re locked into a kind of relationship that necessitates mutual good faith cooperation so it’s a nightmare. REALLY don’t have kids with people you haven’t lived with first for several years. 6mo whirlwind relationships are a bad place to invest the next 20+ years of your life, also, you can’t out run, out think, or recognize your truama, you are you, and you can’t not you. therapy early and often.
