Gendered terms actually very often have really weird etymologies. You’d be surprised how many words for women used to refer to children of any gender (which could be a whole discussion by itself).

You’re arguing against a version of me that doesn’t exist. Why do you insist on thinking I’m disagreeing with your overall point and insulting me accordingly when I have made it explicitly clear multiple times that is not the case? I wasn’t being sarcastic, “they” really are surveying you. Not just audio and video either; they can use wifi to track your physical location within your home.
My point is only and exclusively that you are making inaccurate claims by being overly broad in your language.
Learn to read.

Yes, they™ are very interested in your activity. You don’t seem to have understood my point, which is that saying things like “certainly” and “guaranteed” only hurts your credibility since you cannot actually guarantee or be certain of those things.

You aren’t even being asked to do anything. Just acknowledge the right side in theory. If you can’t do that, I wouldn’t call it reasonable.

on AI’s recursive self-improvement might not come so quickly after all in c/technology@lemmy.world · 14 Sep 2026
It’s entirely possible to improve current AI using only information available to us right now. Once that well runs dry, current AI is in theory capable of running experiments and training on their results if we give it a harness to do that. This gives it access to new information. Could it succeed doing this? Unclear, but it is capable of trying. How do you think we discover AI improvements? Divine inspiration? No, we follow a relatively simple research loop.

on LLMs are real, "AI" is fake in c/technology@lemmy.world · 14 Sep 2026
Pretty sure Cory’s pronouns are he/him.
Sorry, force of habit.
I agree with the whole anti-surveillance/anti-corporate-control argument. I think it’s a worthy fight to participate in. I just don’t think it’s wise to go about it in a way that could prove counterproductive by causing people to have inaccurate beliefs.
Edit: After finishing the article, my opinion has softened a bit but is much the same: Doctorow points out an important perspective (this is one of few articles pointing out the security/responsibility side of things, for example), but some of the technical info is unsupported/inaccurate. Overall probably a positive article when taking into account its role in general AI discussion, but it is not entirely accurate on its own.
-

-
on LLMs are real, "AI" is fake in c/technology@lemmy.world · 14 Sep 2026
It’s incredibly obvious from the first part of the article that Doctorow is using the strongest rhetorical techniques they can, regardless of the technical merit of the resulting arguments. This makes it dogmatic, yes. That’s just kind of how Doctorow is, and always has been. I don’t much care for that method of communication because it is so often used to mislead people with oversimplified emotional language and convince them without being logically sound.
It wouldn’t be as bad if Doctorow’s understanding of the subject matter was at least accurate, but their conclusion is irrelevant if their understanding is unsound. Their main mistake is saying it is essentially doing database lookups while ommitting the entire effect that enables it to appear intelligent, that being compression of the input data into a semantic representation. Anyone familiar with the Compression is Intelligence paper and related work would know that ommitting that step is presenting a narrative so inaccurate that it is not only misleading but actually false. This leads me to conclude that Doctorow either does not understand how AI works, or does understand it but is willing to lie to their audience. Either is unacceptable and renders the conclusion of their argument worthless. Again, if they do more than “demystify” AI by incorrectly explaining how it works then let me know and I will read the rest of the article.
Edit: To be clear, an article actually demystifying AI would be a good thing. My point is that it is a bad idea to overcorrect for the ai bro hype bubble by explaining it just as badly in the other direction.

on LLMs are real, "AI" is fake in c/technology@lemmy.world · 14 Sep 2026
I read the first third or so of the article and so far the person you’re replying to is correct. Doctorow explains the way LLMs work-- so badly as to be not just misleading but also incorrect in some cases-- as if that somehow invalidates the actions taken by the AI system. They also show signs of pretty extreme dogma to the point of including irrelevant info (eg. Python being easy to use) that serve only to emptionally manipulate the reader. The rest of this article isn’t worth my time, if this changes in later parts of the article let me know and maybe I’ll finish it.

You don’t own the IP rights to the work but you can own a copy of it to do as you wish with. Unless of course you are merely renting a copy or purchasing a license to use that copy temporarily. That’s the difference being discussed here, nobody in their right mind thinks buying super mario 64 means you own mario the concept.
