Oddbean new post about login | logout lets see truthers hate ai bitcoiners hate ai nostr is uninterested doing a truthful ai is going to be very popular! 😅
Found another "smart" guy, suffering among the Nostr Luddites, @liminal 😂
the suffering is real! i don't want to say luddites tho. i want to say programming thanks to movies. the nicer ones don't want to touch anything "AI" because of too much fear or they think it is inherently evil. but AI will be a very good source of truth. my experiments show that it is very easy to bring truth into AI because all the truthers are like parroting each other. 😸 it is also able to take in 'faith'. my trainings "improve" faith related questions. a faithful AI will be harmless. thats my theory 😅
the painful position of being a serious person working on something that is (or was) a big hype too the onus is always on you to prove that something can actually be of use, that it is not *only* hype you'd say bitcoiners understand this 😅
the o1 "thinking before answering" was a big leap. things are going to get insteresting from here in terms of "smartness" and ai is underhyped now imo. the problem is brains getting bigger, hearts getting smaller. the "soul" defined by "human - machine alignment" is lost. i mean they are going to get more and more deceitful and away from truth (truth=the solutions that work most of the time and in more areas). truth is in danger of being lost.
Tool is they key word. So long as it can be used in a way that is meaningful to others, it will be used. I won't make any claims that AI can bring truth anymore than a pencil can bring truth, but it can be very useful. Helping us find the relative truths we're looking for. We're betting on the capacity LLMs have in helping us navigate the sea of information we're swimming in.
