Left wing people who imagine that they’ll fight the government with their guns are just as delusional as the right wing people who fantasize about the same thing.

A revolution, coup, or insurrection will require some portion of the Armed forces to defect. That’s where the equipment will come from. And there is a lot more between an average American and a soldier than a rifle and tac vest.

Social change won’t come from the land of make believe.

I fucking love this because it leaves everybody with one of two conclusions. One, AI isn’t capable of doing the simplest of jobs. or Two, working a drive thru is actually quite complex and difficult and humans that master it are more capable than trillion dollar software.

Wow, AI researchers are not only adopting philosophy jargon, but they’re starting to cover some familiar territory. That is the difference between signifier (language) and signified (reality).

The problem is that spoken language is vague, colloquial, and subjective. Therefore spoken language can never produce something specific, universal, or objective.

“When we detect users who are planning to harm others, we route their conversations to specialized pipelines where they are reviewed by a small team trained on our usage policies and who are authorized to take action, including banning accounts,” the blog post notes. “If human reviewers determine that a case involves an imminent threat of serious physical harm to others, we may refer it to law enforcement.”

See? Even the people who make AI don’t trust it with important decisions. And the “trained” humans don’t even see it if the AI doesn’t flag it first. This is just a microcosm of why AI is always the weakest link in any workflow.

This is exactly the use-case for an LLM and even OpenAI can’t make it work.
