Oh I certainly did meet a lot of people employed in auth related stuff that clearly spent only 2 weeks on learning anything about OpenID and I certainly didn't not hate their guts and wished they were replaced by a small shell script
To respond to this part:
How about people here? When did you realize people are real?
I just have this basic human feeling of appreciation whenever someone close goes out of their way to do something nice for me. It's always this reminder of hey, I exist in other peoples' lives as well, isn't that cool!
Welcome to the future! Suffering is mandatory!
How nice it must be to never ponder how large humanity is, and how each and every person you see outside has a full and rich interior and exterior world, and you that only see a tiny fraction of the people outside.
I don't think that's nice. That sounds extremely bleak and depressive, not to mention downright sociopathic.
The reality is that some of us only have glimmers of sapience, and many not even that.
Choose your sneer answer:
- Wow, that's not at all how a human brain should work, sounds like a serious medical condition, I would see a neurologist.
- Weird flex, but okay.
Aren't touch screens literally everywhere? What was the hype?
It's always so baffling to me to learn about those things because I was way too young to actually experience any of the "hype" around most of those technologies. Touch screens are cool and they penetrated society so much there are at my grocery shop, what the fuck were they supposed to do if that's not living up to the hype?
It's always funny to see this because you think that you're part of the smart 10% with original thoughts while actually you're the insufferable 10% whose only thought is that of superiority with nothing to back it up.
My cat has more original thoughts than that and he's currently stuck head-first in a cereal box.
(Preface: I work in AI)
Are they a serious researcher in ML with insights into some of the most interesting and complicated intersections of computer science and analytical mathematics, or a promptfondler that earns 3x the former's salary for a nebulous AI startup that will never create anything of value to society?

because it encodes semantics.
Please enlighten me on how? I admit I don't know all the internals of the transformer model, but from what I know it encodes precisely only syntactical information, i.e. what next syntactical token is most likely to follow based on a syntactical context window.
How does it encode semantics? What is the semantics that it encodes? I doubt they have denatotational or operational semantics of natural language, I don't think something like that even exists, so it has to be some smaller model. Actually, it would be enlightening if you could tell me at least what the semantical domain here is, because I don't think there's any naturally obvious choice for that.
The only remarkable thing is how fucking easy it is to convince the median consumer that vaguely-correct-shape sentences are correct.
I am so cynical at this point I am fully bought into the idea that these chowderheads don't even interact with reality, just with the PowerPoint and Jira-driven shadows on the wall.
