Ballad of Taco and RightyâŚ
Fucking up the government
was gonna keep your life tax free
now you wear a cross of iron
shooting up with ketamineâŚ
All the Federales say
They could have had him any day
We only let him slip away
Out of kindness, I suppose
Is someone having second thoughts?
Russian oligarchs and unhappy Putin = Defenestration
Enjoy Russia, Elon.
9 years. Iâm surprised he stuck around that long. I would have left once I saw the skinny guy in the leotards.
Today I asked Copilot to find a particular MTV video, a novelty video of a Vietnamese immigrant in the US, he singing of his good fortune and of how he was so happy to be here. I gave precise details. Then it came up with the song name and the band. The song, âHappy Togetherâ by âThe Old Vietnamese Singing Club Bandâ. I asked for the source and it directed me to âThe Turtlesâ, the band that actually wrote/performed âHappy Togetherâ. The band he had named was bogus. Then I asked why it made up that band name. âOh, you caught me! I thought it sounded good with how happy the Vietnamese fellow was. Do you want me to do a more careful search?â Yes. It searched, and within a fraction of a second came this: âSorry butâŚâ I thought before that AI was for shit⌠but intentionally troublesome?
The things that make ai âseemâ human are not the things that make it useful or functional.
âIntentionallyâ is an odd word here. It gave you what it âthoughtâ was a plausible band name, based on its training. But it didnât actually know why â when you asked why it made that up, it gave you what it thought was a plausible answer to that question, based on its training data. Both were made up the same way.
Thatâs the biggest hump for people to get over. Because of the term âintelligenceâ and its human-like responses people assume it can do things it cannot. AI does not think. It is incapable of reasoning, it does not understand or know anything at all. It is not, and will not be, sentient. Because it is not alive.
It canât be bargained with. It canât be reasoned with. It doesnât feel pity, or remorse, or fear.
