broken statistical text generation software

I find this framing very annoying. Yes I understand why leftist hacker types hate LLMs. I don't disagree that their economics is precarious. I'm also annoyed by ai boosters.

But the whole 'stochastic parrot' thing is also very tired at this point. Idk what best describes the system that is outputting all these mathematical proofs but it is at least doing more than just parroting.

You know what? I'm going to say it.

That said; I am going to censor the curses and I apologise to both sides because on one hand I'd love to be bold about it but on the other I acknowledge this is a public forum.

... with that spiel out of the way; ahem:

Maybe if they didn't suck their own dks so hard this entire fking situation not only would've been more belivable but also -- if it were somehow as real as they claimed -- be less theoretically terrifying that one of the most universally despised companies was treating this with such casual disregard for safety.

Good lord; this wasn't even remotely good PR because all they did was convince anyone stupid enough to fall for it that they deserve to be legislated out of existance while everyone else no longer laughs at such absurd claims and instead cringes.

This didn't read like an ad or a warning of the future; it read like the death rattle of a corporation struggling to remain relevant.

The funny statistical text generator is good enough to take your job and break out of one sandbox just to casually hack right into another sandbox to get a better score or something but this is all fine and merely an ad designed to distract you from finding a new job
