"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

The man was fucked late in life- REALLY fell off the sanity train, BUT if you're not familiar he was also an unbelievable genius-level man before losing it. Crazy freakin' rabbit-hole to go down if it interests you. It did interest me.

This ain't too bad either, from his 2016 book:

What an odd thing to include.
Edit: Here's another oddity:
Typerwriters didn't have italics and it wouldn't be only a crazy person writing on a typewriter in 1995.
How so?
Just seems like a detail that would probably be ignored in almost any other case. How often have you seen a parents later change of religion mentioned in a Wikipedia biography? I think the subtle message here is, "Maybe lack of belief in God led to his terrorism."
Interesting thought. Still, if anyone ever made a record of my life I'd want such a thing mentioned.
Yeah, but if you were a terrorist, they'd try to tar whatever your origins are, no matter how tangentially related.
I mean, if I were a terrorist, I'd feel it weird if they mentioned something like me being 1/4 Jewish on my dad's, raised Catholic, side. I didn't even find out about it until I was in college. I'd guess it was some anti-Semite wikipedia editor with a grudge.
