I’m going to take a break from drinking until November.

Just had a rough one.

I’m the Downvote Eater.

Downvote me, libs. Fulfill your destiny.

Yeah, this is clearly just someone phoning it in from Langley.

God is great!

Please keep being great.

I was also thinking I’d love to hear some adagios being sung.

I’ve learned a lot from Lemmygrad/Hexbear posts!

I would consider political education to be praxis.

Parking enforcement?

I was about to ask “Did you read Stalin?”

Millennial/Gen Z doom spending?

Honestly from my end as well. I wouldn’t have entirely disagreed with you about a year ago. As much as I have always wished for a Palestinian one-state solution, it seemed out of reach realistically and like a dream.

But that goes to show you. I was wrong and comrades were right to disagree with me. Each day we get closer to the Zionists going the way of Nazi Germany and Rhodesia. There is no way they will defeat Hezbollah, Ansrallah, and Iran in a full out war when they aren’t even able to defeat Hamas. I don’t even think the US will be able to turn the tides towards victory for them. If they go full out war and they lose, then that could lead to de-Zionification of Palestine. The material conditions, so far, make it possible for a free Palestine. Solidarity to the Palestinians and Lebanese in their struggle against the Zionist settlers.

Of course, the Zionists may go down nukes blazing which is entirely a very real possibility.

Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! I know! I know!

Pick me!

But, ironically, the Chinese Room Argument you’re bringing up supports what others are saying that LLMs do not ‘understand’ anything.

It seems to me like you are establishing ‘understanding’ with a functionalist meaning to be able to say that input/output is equivalent to understanding in order to say the measurable process in itself shows ‘understanding’. But that’s not what Searle, and seemingly the others here, seem to mean by ‘understanding’. As Searle argues, it is not purely the syntactic manipulation in question but the semantic. In other words, these LLMs do not “know” the information they provide, they are just repeating based off the input/output process with which they were programmed. LLMs do not project or internalize any meaning to the input/output process. If they had some reflexive consciousness and any ‘understanding’, then they could have critically approach the meaning of the information in order to assess its validity against facts rather than just naïvely proclaiming that cockroaches got their name because they like to crawl into penises at night. Do you believe LLMs are conscious?

I’m imagining people traveling to mexico, buying a car and coming back, even though that wouldn’t be possible, for many reasons

I think it would be possible. People can legally enter with their cars registered in Mexico and not sold in the US through the land border. The only thing is you’ll probably need to keep it registered in Mexico because the US may block you from registering it here, if you’re trying to bring one over to use permanently. So, if you can keep one registered there but keep here, then it may be possible.

Anyway, Mexicans will be able to drive them over more than likely. US doesn’t block Mexicans driving ‘Mexican’ cars. I’ve seen cars with Mexican plates all over the US. We’ll soon be taken over by superior, affordable Chinese EVs driven by Mexicans.

I’m high and this got me.

I knew you were going to say that.

The tweet literally says what it’s quoting. But, fine, here’s your precious source link.

Okay. Fair enough.

But this does.

One would hope, but it took her long enough to even slightly call out the Zionist entity.

I’m assuming it depends on how the grift is going. I don’t see her holding up signs next to Tlaib anyway.

I was eating Korean food for lunch today at a new restaurant and the food was really good but they were playing that basic, country-esque White people music and it was terrible. I was like "Why, God?”
