I think the current batch of AIs and the Kardashians are bad at using language

Language based AIs will always carry the biases of the language they speak. I am certain a properly trained bilingual AI would be smarter than a monolingual AI of the same skill level

Many languages lack words for certain concepts. For example, english lacks a word for the joy you feel at another’s pain. You have to go to Germany in order to name Schadenfreude. However, English is perfectly capable of describing what schadenfreude is. I sometimes become nonverbal due to my autism. In the moment, there is no way I could possibly describe what I am feeling. But that is a limitation of my temporarily panicked mind, not a limitation of language itself. Sufficiently gifted writers and poets have described things once thought indescribable. I believe language can describe anything with a book long enough and a writer skilled enough.

Language is a method for encoding human thought. Mastery of language is mastery of human thought. The problem is, predictive text heuristics don’t have mastery of language and they cannot predict desired output

I’m concerned about the definitions of some of the terms in these rules

• What does it mean to be kind? Do you have to agree with everyone? Are you allowed to say the fuck word?

• What does it mean to attack other people? Are we talking ad hominem, or is making an argument with a stern tone of voice an attack?

• Where is the line between opinion and action drawn? Is it okay to attack people for driving cars? That’s not an opinion, it’s an action, and it kills people, but I have a feeling certain people would say no anyway

• What is a double post? Do you mean repost or crosspost?

We need net neutrality. ISPs should have no say in what kinds of data passes through their system

I’m not American

He seems really angry and I think people should give him some space. Being the #1 advocate for walkability and transit in the world isn’t easy. He must get so much hate from carbrains.

I am completely apathetic about them. I think they’re boring.

This is what Reddit was like 8 years ago

No, in order to believe that’s true I have to believe that the definition of “cult” is “a small religion”

It’s not a cult if everyone believes in it

Nah, Raddle deserves it for the blatant transphobia

I once got a permanent ban for threatening violence

I was writing a satirical post from the perspective of Dracula and saying I love drinking people’s blood

All 15 of the false positives were black people. That’s why they’re keeping it.

You need to learn some critical race theory. Racist systems turn innocent intentions into racist actions. If a PhD student trains an AI model on only white people because the university only has white students, then that AI model is going to fail black people because black people were already failed by university admissions. Innocent intention plus racist system equals racist action.

Good.

If we didn’t have capitalism, people wouldn’t need jobs. We could automate jobs away and instead of starving, people would just have more free time

Thanks
