Truth is definitely a bit of a blind spot for LLMs.

I’m the former prime minister of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Tony Blair. Who are you?

Leaving the EU is one of the stupidest self harming things we ever did.

In which nation is energy generation not using vast natural resources at huge initial outlay where companies have a boner for monopolising or cartels and exploiting scarcity to drive up prices?

Side note: DARPA’s TCP/IP networky thing seems to have had some future in it!

Traitors to the constitution, traitors to democracy, traitors to free and fair elections, traitors to the founding fathers, traitors to the people and even traitors to the union and the flag. What were you waiting for them to betray before you call them traitors?

You invent so much of my side of the conversation. You argue with what you’d prefer I had said because it’s so easy to disagree with and knock down. You’ve invented this whole nonsense viewpoint and life history for me just so you can come across as more sensible. But it’s insane because it has almost nothing to do with what I said and everything to do with your prejudices and your inability to have some self control over your judgementalism and your condemnatory impulses.

You’ve gotta be rightwing.

Bad people who make bad choices deserve all the bad things that come their way and some more flung at them by you just to show them how wrong they are? That’s where you’re coming from here.

Congratulations on ignoring literally everything I said and arguing with some fictitious person who is “body positive” about obesity or who doesn’t think it’s a problem. I mean, I’ve come across straw man arguments before, but this one takes the biscuit.

You think your hate and contempt can fix other people, but you’re very, very, very wrong. I wouldn’t be surprised if you shout at homeless people or at last rant about them for half an hour behind their backs.

Also congrats on completely, utterly and comprehensively falling the self control challenge I set you.

Turns out your self control in some things is at absolute zero.

Still really proud of yourself? I bet you really are, because you’re not very introspective so far today.

Obesity is literally a self control issue.

You sound like you don’t believe in ADHD “just finish what you started, have some impulse control!“, or autism “read the room, don’t be so literal and stop getting distracted by noise and light, just ignore it”.

It night be plausible that most people can just avoid the first cigarette or the first spliff or the first anything, but no one can avoid food, and some people’s biology, their hormonal balance, their brain chemistry, mental health, shit, just their metabolic rate can make them have a very, very different order of magnitude of problems with food.

So it’s easy for you to have self control around food and balance your calorie intake with exercise? Great, good for you, but stop acting all morally superior for not having problems in your life.

Get lost with that judgemental “it’s simple” shit and try to learn a bit of self control yourself over what kind of nasty judgementalism you’re spouting online without thinking about other people.

They may have come to this decision through experience.

Having used it a bit, I find it’s like someone a bit stupid with a lot of time on their hands, but no knowledge, saying “I’ll learn everything you need to know from Google and write you an answer”, just speeded up a lot. And just as frustrating.

And you have to wade through so much to find the right one. Or type in AI wait a minute and get the answer.

Uhhh, type in AI, wait a minute and get an answer. How are you checking it? rm - f / isn’t the only filesystem footgun.

I’m finding AI to be right roughly only 60% of the time, and it’s as bad and hallucinatory about shell scripts as it is about everything else.

It will happily admit its mistakes and give you another answer when you call it out, but it’s no more likely to be right that time.

It’s fair to say that the environmental and ethical concerns are significant and I wouldn’t look down in anyone refusing to use AI for those reasons. I don’t look down on vegetarians or vegans either - I don’t have to agree with someone’s moral stance or choices to respect them.

But you’re right, LLMs are full of crap.

What’s revanced? I’m not especially keen to give Google my money either. They fall into the category of businesses that have way too much money and power already.

I don’t pay for music unless I buy the track or album.

YouTube music won’t play in the background though, so it’s a pain whilst driving and navigating traffic or routes. Some of my friends make playlists on there and share them, so I do use it sometimes.

But absolutely use the service that brings you joy, not the ones that I prefer!

Soundcloud lets you play any song you want at any time, even on the free tier, and when you ask it to play a playlist, it only plays songs on the playlist.

You can have recommendations from an algorithm if you choose, but it’s encouraged rather than enforced.

There are a lot more independent artists on it, and fewer big labels, or at least it feels that way because it doesn’t seem to prioritise big labels over some person I’ve never heard of.

Spotify has an annoy-users-until-they-pay model. If you deliberately piss me off, you’re not getting any of my money. Soundcloud just has ads.

Ah, true, yes.

Isn’t owning a credit card age gating anyway? I don’t think you can legally own a credit card in the UK.
(Edit: Oops I mean until you’re 18.)

And people of color lost.

This is you

I already told you my experience of the crapness of LLMs and even explained why I can’t share the prompt etc. You clearly weren’t listening or are incapable of taking in information.

There’s also all the testing done by the people talked about in the article we’re discussing which you’re also irrationally dismissing.

You have extreme confirmation bias.

Everything you hear that disagrees with your absurd faith in the accuracy of the extreme blagging of LLMs gets dismissed for any excuse you can come up with.
