I remember being a kid and being worried about the apocalypse because WWIII would break out in the Holy Land and Jesus would come back. But now 🇮🇱 is looking more and more like the kid who, getting back his enemy, beats him so long it disgusts all his friends who were cheering for him
This moment where people are getting blown up via walkie talkie and entire cities are bulldozed for settlers - it’s like realizing you and someone you fell in love with so long ago have changed so much you have little in common but your worst qualities and you hate you need each other
Stop for a second and remember the only reason 🇺🇸 gave a shit about 🇮🇱 is because they caught the eye of folks who wanted a proxy state to counter the Soviets. After the Berlin Wall came down we got sold on Arabs as the baddies especially after 9/11. But uh… well look how our GWOT turned out.
AI “concepts” are floating signifiers so no wonder it gives us so much bullshit
But seriously, from a phenomenological point of view, LLM are unable to link “concepts” to the signified which they represent. It’s totally a broken chain of signifiers. They’re like Avicina’s floating man with no access to their sensorium and we can’t relate to those “minds” if they have them
Currently learning how analytic philosophers who don’t care about media studies can do mechanistic interperatibility and convince venture capitalists that their LLM are actually very smart and conscious entities
