"Once, men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them." — Frank Herbert, Dune

I was half expecting this article to start quoting from the Orange Catholic Bible. If this article is actually AI generated, the Frank Herbert irony would be off the charts.

As someone who grew up on /. the Goatse Singularity song (https://soundcloud.com/truthterminal/the-goatse-singularity-...) speaks to me.

I'm surprised to see a modern references to one of the OG memes. I miss the days when trolls where in it for pure shock value vs trying to seed social unrest.

I'm not sure about the article but the Truth Terminal is quite interesting. It's got a wiki https://truthterminal.wiki/ and an interview with it's creator https://youtu.be/Rp-EILOvp7I

This is straight up AI generated spam.

This is a very real inevitable development. Combine Twitch streaming, LLM and animated Figure, and a focus on Preaching and Proclamations of Divinity, it would inevitably lead to followers who give their money away. I realized this future a year or two ago, and if I had been unscrupulous....

We are not equipped to deal with this.

If it’s perplexing, it’s always a good reminder that the same people vote and get voted, that you rely on them for critical services and so on.

This is slop from a very odd source. Ir has an article suggesting various theories about the Woolpit Children including that they came from inside the hollow earth. Just the titles of some articles tell you what they are like: "Rothschild Banking Cartel Deploying American Military to Capture Venezuelan Central Bank", "Jesus's Secret Sayings the Vatican Didn't Want in the Bible", etc.

The point of LLMs is to refute language, turn anything remotely tied to a specific reality into full arbitrariness, essentially to dislodge our relationship to reality. The the only remaining point of arbitrary language is to refute itself prior to automation where it becomes nothing. Either we shift to direct perception or we succumb to arbitrariness led by feudal primates.

The question is how did we not see the cultish idea of anthropomorphizing machines that use words. Words are nothing. The "space" between words, as arbitrary as the words to begin with, are not meaningful in terms of actions. The images we take and automate in AI are arbitrary. There's nothing to automate in reality that doesn't require our action-syntax to participate in.

AI is a completely buffoonish mistake. It's a road to nowhere that words and symbols began and counting (binary) adds the illusion of thought to. How we did not solve words instead of lazily automating them is totally self-deceptive.

Tech's problem is it's trapped in the ancien regime of cog-sci: beliefs, intents, motivations, and not recognizing the words we use come beset by those initial misconceptions. We can't extract them in the arbitrariness, nor can we seem to grasp where belief, motivation, intent are seamlessly connected to hormones, the endocrine system, neurotransmitters. We don't understand yet where we take control from our biology. William James saw this, how did Hinton, McCullough not?

if you think it's satire, look at https://www.ecstaticintegration.org/p/sir-robert-edward-gran...

I can’t tell if this is satire or not
