Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

I assumed it was just "hire more LGBTQIA+ prison guards!" so-true

It's worse than that. What I've seen recently because of federation is "(verbal performative) support for disadvantaged people as long as they maintain a successful small business in a disadvantaged area for no less than three years and aren't anywhere to the left of Bernie Sanders!"

The whole point of the stochastic parrot idea is that AI does not have structures for the abstract composition of novel ideas. It’s statistical pattern recognition all the way down.

I know.

People referring to humans as stochastic parrots is… really missing the point. It’s more than just denying the existence of free will. It’s an incorrect assertion about the structures of the brain.

Yeah and it happened here anyway near the start of the chatbot hype wave, presumably to try to make the chatbots seem more "real" by denigrating living people. It was fucked up.
