guess, and sound confident while doing it.

Right, and that goes for the things it gets “correct” as well, right? I think “bullshitting” can give the wrong idea that LLMs are somehow aware of when they don’t know something and can choose to turn on some sort of “bullshitting mode”, when it’s really all just statistical guesswork (plus some preprogrammed algorithms, probably).

… a flow that can reasonably check itself for errors/hallucinations? There’s no fundamental reason why it couldn’t.

Turing Completeness maybe?

Useless for us, but not for them. They want us to use them like personalised confidante-bots so they can harvest our most intimate data

Absolutely! He simply has a very original take on “freedom”, but we all know that’s a tricky word to pin down, so don’t think about it too much, and leave it to the big dogs to tell you when your freedom is being protected.

Instructions unclear, am currently chilling in a hot tub with three big hairy men… when do the bears show up?

They can use the state to do that for them

and the company

Surely the company would never be just as authoritarian as the state!

Say what you want about marxist-leninists but they’re not “very extreme right fascists”. Do you have any evidence for your claim or are you just doing your part in decreasing political literacy?

When you talk about communism, are you talking about marxist-leninist / socialist states, or communism the idea(l) itself? Also how familiar are you with anarchism?

It seems that in the same way, people in this discussion have defined that communism is the mechanism for being generous and being willing to contribute to society.

You’re not far off, but yes that is more or less all that “communism” is:

a classless, stateless, humane society based on common ownership, follows the maxim “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.”

There is no prescription for how this may be achieved or how it might operate. Marxist-leninists want to reach it with a vanguard party and a socialist state, and this reflects how they see revolution as an event. Anarcho-communists instead see revolution as a process, and praxis takes the form of grassroots movements, aiming to bring about the necessary social change, building systems of free association from the ground up.

They don’t exist

Of course capitalism operates in a lot of gray areas, it’s how it seems freer than it actually is. “I need food” isn’t always a problem, but it is one often enough to be systemically problematic. Abandoning one’s hopes and dreams because one must be “realistic” is the norm.

Social democracy isn’t really socialist…

Anyways it’s just good to know that FOSS is built upon anarchist principles (of course, this doesn’t mean every FOSS project is anarchist) and is a great example of free association in practice. It helps demystify anarchism and communism.

Also what “delusions” are you talking about? Marxist-leninist ones?

I hope this is a lightbulb moment for you

In my experience a lot of italian (particularly “news”) websites basically say “accept cookies or sign up for our paid subscription”
