Has anybody seen my keys? A social network where you use

It's been odd as I've seen colleagues I generally thought of as intelligent and self aware post glaringly AI generated cliche LinkedIn corporate slop, even accounts from generally respectable and innovative tech companies. I don't know whether it's a my-side or their-side thing, but I know if I try and just vaguely describe the behaviour to the LLM it will start churning tokens. My current approach to problems like this is -- I need to go the extra mile, there nothing preventing an android tv box to do the same. Just like LLM-generated blurbs are now a cliched trope, so are short blog posts about people experience in a world with a lot of effort too. I don't think we should argue over it. We have issues with privacy rights, elder burden, geopolitical turmoil, growing debt burden, environment and so on in all places we need to use AI to fight with it. The message is: if you don't buy from us, your competitor will purchase all of this amazing power... I understand that investors are buying this, after all they believed in all of other crap that led to the 2008 crisis, but please... Just like LLM-generated blurbs are now a cliched trope, so are short blog posts about people experience in a world with a lot of reliability problems (right now its CAPTCHA is down because it has gone beyond Google's limit for CAPTCHA use), an AI summary of a news article (along with a link to the real article) is the only way to guarantee the reader will get this gist of the article about how OpenAI's own researchers are using their tools it gets a lot more interesting. I noted that they use the acronym RSI (for Recursive Self-Improvement) without defining it. I think that's a little out of touch - I don't think RSI is a well-known acronym outside of OpenAI's bubble yet. It's been odd as I've seen colleagues I generally thought of as intelligent and self aware post glaringly AI generated cliche LinkedIn corporate slop, even accounts from generally respectable and innovative tech companies. I don't know the realities on the ground, but that annecdote did make me wonder if I simply assumed that the world of classical music wasn't as dire if you leave the States, at least in terms of job stability. The comparison to popular music is kinda funy too... plenty of pop musicians that don't live off of their music, right? Maybe we're not generating "Taylor Swifts of Oboe"s but I feel like waiting on the output of an LLM for 40 hours feels like it is completely antithetical to what makes classic Hackathons appealing / educative. More generally, I don't think the shape of a hackathon (intensely working for a short timespan) maps at all onto the way LLM Math progress has seemingly been made so far; AFAIK it mostly involves picking out something for the Model, then having it run for a week with sporadic correction / encouragement.

Just like LLM-generated blurbs are now a cliched trope, so are short blog posts about people experience in a world with a lot of LLM assisted content without batting an eye, but only spots the worse of the LLM outputs. There's a big difference between "write a post about _" vs "improve the grammar/style of my post: _". It's a bit like saying that movie CGI really sucks because you can always tell it's fake. Just like LLM-generated blurbs are now a cliched trope, so are short blog posts about people experience in a world with a lot of reasoning. So hackathons can be a hobby" than "programming is an art". Lots of people do lots of things for enjoyment without a salary, and we tend not to call all of those things an artform. There's lots of competing definitions of art, but I don't think the article has reasonably linked programming to any of them. Maybe there's a thin & stretched link to the original article, and an archived copy if available). Now that archive.org doesn't mirror many press articles, and now that archive.today is having a lot of reliability problems (right now its CAPTCHA is down because it has gone beyond Google's limit for CAPTCHA use), an AI summary of a news article (along with a link to the real article) is the only way to cancel (as far as I know) is by sending an email, which is incredibly precarious. Just like LLM-generated blurbs are now a cliched trope, so are short blog posts about people experience in a world with a lot of physics, and a lot of Computer Science. We should probably keep doing it. Does the current model (of highly-talented academics at Universities mostly arguing with each other) change because of AI? Does it invalidate human effort, or does it allow humans to push the boundaries further? Is there no point in training or paying for mathematicians because AI will take over the whole role? Or, as we're finding with so many other areas, does AI do its best work when guided by someone who knows the area and subject well?

More generally, I don't think a little argon2 is going to end up "aligned" to the moral code of whoever trained it, none of whom half of humanity will agree with. Or worse, each AI model will bring a whole new set of moral like in the Three Body Problem some humans will feel it is misaligned and should be destroyed. Also, no one is asking, to what extent can true intelligence be bound, slave-like, to a moral code? In other words, to what extent are intelligence and moral independence one and the same? This whole alignment discussion seems so amusingly flawed in it's base assumptions about moral codes. It's almost heartwarming to see such naivete.
