  • But that’s exactly how an LLM is trained. It doesn’t know how words are spelled because words are turned into numbers and processed. But it does know when its dataset has multiple correlations for something. Specifically, people spell out words, so it will regurgitate to you how to spell strawberry, but it can’t count letters because that’s not a thing that language models do.

    Generative AI and LLMs are just giant reconstruction bots that take all the data they have and reconstruct something. That’s literally what they do.

    Like, without knowing what your answer is for assassin, I will assume that your issue is that the question is probably “How many asses are in assassin?” But, like, that’s a joke. Assassins only has one ass, just like the rest of us. That’s a joke. And nobody would ever spell assassin as assin, so why would it learn that there are two asses in assassin?

    I’m confused where you are getting your information from, but this is not particularly special behavior.


  • Actually, the Rs issue is funny because it WAS trained on that exact information which is why it says strawberry has two Rs, so it’s actually more proof that it only knows what it has been given data on. The thing is, when people misspelled strawberry as “strawbery”, then naturally, people respond, " Strawberry has two Rs." The problem is that LLM learning has no concept of context because it isn’t learning anything. The reinforcement mechanism is what the majority of its data tells it. It regurgitates that strawberry has two Rs because it has been reinforced by its dataset.











  • I think it is. To say that you need to perform some arbitrary action or have some arbitrary prerequisite to be a member of a belief structure is silly. I see it as simply being that you are a leftist if you have leftist ideals. Like, you can argue about the applicability of communist vs anarchist vs socialist, because those relate to organizational structures, but to say you can’t label yourself as a leftist for a reason that isn’t really related to being a leftist is just moral gatekeeeping.



  • Yes, I understand that you think that. I also don’t agree with you. I think you are gate keeping a term.

    Like, if I want to dismantle hierarchical structures that oppress me and all that jazz, but I know jackshit about class because I don’t read or participate because I just gotta work my day job day in and day out, am I not a leftist? I don’t think the answer is no. Now, I wouldn’t trust a person like that to make good decisions in forwarding or explaining leftist ideas, but… They’re not the problem. I don’t even care if they call themselves a leftist because they’re not contributing the problems. Like… This feels like a fake problem.

    To me, I don’t think it’s possible for everyone to be knowledgeable about the things they believe in. I think it’d be great if they were, but it’s not always a great starting point for everyone, and if a stoner bro wants to call them self a leftist, ain’t no skin off my back. Anyone that was going to use that guy as baggage against me was going to also use sex workers and unhoused people and gay people and trans people and furries and anyone else that’s seen as undesirable. I just don’t give a fuck, man.





  • That doesn’t make any sense.

    Paying workers more is fine, but you’re saying that the costs for reproduction should come from parents, and then you’re saying they should come from the rich. People without children should contribute to childcare costs, and they are incentivized to do so, too, because children are important to pretty much everything. By having the government fund childcare, the rich do contribute more.

    Whatever you said is inconsistent.
