"The Librarians Are Not Okay

​​I’ve been called a pedophile. I’ve been called a groomer. I’ve been called a Communist pornographer.”

Has anyone done any fun/useful activities with students and ChatGPT to get them to think critically about AI? #chatgpt #AI

In a world where a bit of math can pass as human on the internet, we are obliged to be more unpredictable, more chaotic.

Be the language model failure mode you want to see in the taco.

I’ll be in Denver for a week. Any suggestions of things to do or see, esp: food, art, books, history, coffee, or other quirky stuff?

A Machine Learning algorithm walks into a bar.

The bartender asks, "What'll you have?"

The algorithm says, "What's everyone else having?"

I see people asking: How else will we critically study GPT-4 etc then?

Don't. Opt out. Study something else.

GPT-4 should be assumed to be toxic trash until and unless #OpenAI is *open* about its training data, model architecture, etc.

I rather suspect that if we ever get that info, we will see that it is toxic trash. But in the meantime, without the info, we should just assume that it is.

To do otherwise is to be credulous, to serve corporate interests, and to set terrible precedent.

The great thing about being middle-aged, is that you no longer care what people think of your outfit.
