Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]

Yo SneerClub I heard you like critiques of LLM bullshit so I put LLM bullshit in your LLM bullshit critique (www.psychologytoday.com)

People are increasingly turning to LLMs for a wide range of cognitive tasks, from creative writing and language translation to problem-solving and decision-making.

If this guy's circle of acquaintances includes an increasing number of people who rely on fancy autocomplete for decision-making and creative writing, I might have an idea why he thinks LLMs are super intelligent in comparison.

To achieve human escape velocity, we might need to leverage the very technologies that challenge our place in the cognitive hierarchy. By integrating AI tools into our educational systems, creative processes, and decision-making frameworks, we can amplify our natural abilities, expand our perspectives, and accelerate innovation in a way that is symbiotic rather than competitive.

Wait, let me get this straight. His solution to achieve human escape velocity, which means "outpac[ing] AI's influence and maintain human autonomy" (his words, not mine) is to increase AI's influence and remove human autonomy?

Well how do YOU plan on shilling for the tech industry by scaring people up about LLMs?
