    With your choice of words you are anthropomorphizing LLMs. No valid reasoning can occur when starting from a false point of origin.

    Or to put it differently: to me this is similarly ridiculous as if you were arguing that bubble sort may somehow “gain new abilites” and do “horrifying things”.

      I had assumed the golden age of people coming here to critihype LLMs was over because most people outside of Silicon Valley (including a lot of nontechnical people) have realized the technology’s garbage but nope! we’ve got a rush of posters trying the same shit that didn’t work a year ago, as if we’ve never seen critihype before. maybe bitcoin hitting $100,000 makes them think their new grift is gonna make it? maybe their favorite fuckheads entering office is making all their e/acc dreams come true? who can say.

        in crypto, these guys run on a six to eighteen month cycle - at get in, evangelise, get rekt and disappear in embarrassment. What this means is that the only people who actually remember the history of crypto are the critics.

        i once had a coiner demand in outrage that i prooove my claim that bitcoin was started by libertarians.

        anyway. dunno if the same will hold in AI grift, but yeah recycling refuted claims as if nothing happened is standard in other areas of pseudoscience.
