#LLMs/#TechBarons
It's like everyone in the tech industry (including #TechBarons in their pursuit of #SurveillanceCapital) forgot the programming adage of SISO (Shit In, Shit Out) in the clamour for (*not) #AI!

* most LLMs are not #ArtificialIntelligence but labelled misleadingly as 'advanced intelligence'!
Someone on here compared AI produced material as "digital asbestos " which in a few decades' time we will have to work out how to eradicate from the fabric of research.
From my own academic research, even pre LLMs there was a huge danger of zombie factoids that begin in a respectable publication by mistake and then get reprinted for decades because no one is backtracing to the original source. Once bad info gets into the system it can take years to clear it out.

Bring in real protections for #artists and #authors to either stop their work and #IntellectualProperty being pirated and used by #LLMs/#TechBarons or avenues for seeking real financial recourse for thefts that occur.

We really need someone to write a useful paper titled something like:

Th ELIZA Fallacy: The Evoked Athropromorphism and Pseudo-Religiosity of #AI and #LLMs

Lots of people out here buying into the propaganda of #TechBarons, believing the hype, and ascribing 'intent' to what is coded effects!
#FFS

The fraud inherent to the LLMs is made apparent here.

Not only are they the wrong answer and slop machine, but they are the active lie machine. They are the destruction of thinking and knowledge, and they can be made to actively lie for the techbarons who own them

Nothing can be trusted from them
i fucking hate OpenAI, ChatGPT, and the whole fucking right-wing festering techno-fascist culture that is taking over government and our economy (p.s. fuck you, sam altman and all the monied ghouls who fawn over you)…

yes, really

Here's the thing, running #LLMs/AI are so resource exhaustive that they are not really financially viable.

Explains why #TechBarons are so keen to enslave tech systems/users to them. So, when bubble bursts (imminent) users become service dependent customers who will carry costs, maintain profits.
