I have actually met Chad GPT he is a pretty cool guy and a visionary CEO
I don’t like that “knowing about AI” is linked with knowing about AI execs. They don’t know shit. They think smoking is cool again. There’s a senior dev somewhere who hasn’t seen sunlight this week, I want to hear what they have to say.
I realized a while back I do this. If someone’s ask me if I know or have heard of someone, even if I don’t, I’ll squint and go “Hmm, ya, I think I heard the name”.
I never do, it’s more to keep the conversation going since I expect them to tell me, but it did strike me as a petty and silly thing to do when I realized I was doing it. Just can’t admit to not being knowledgeable, gotta just stay vague about it and pretend. Bad habit.
Yeah those names are mashups of real people’s names who appear in these contexts, e.g. Yuri Milner. I probably would have said “name rings a bell” to both of the made-up ones. They really do and were maybe engineered to.

Same here. Thankfully it’s a very long time ago. Since then I immediately ask: »Should I?«
Average man is so brainwashed by corporate media that he thinks “AI” executives are worth knowing.
There are enough problems in the world and AI is so much of it that bringing gender into the conversation feels contrived. What is the point of saying “Men bad” here?
53% vs 40% is a pretty striking difference, should we ignore that?
Would the survey have been better if the organizers had collected zero demographic information on respondents, instead of “bringing gender into the conversation?”
I must have missed the part where they said “men bad.” Isn’t that a conclusion you’re drawing?

I mean, the article ends with the following paragraph
“Besides pretending they were knowledgeable, men were also more optimistic about AI, the survey showed — while women were more concerned and worried. Ignorance, as they say, is bliss.”
That’s a pretty negatively loaded towards male ending to the whole thing I would say.

40% of women feels like not a huge amount less? Happy for y’all to score the point, don’t get me wrong. It just feels like the headline is looking to stoke gender divisions more than point out that a good near-half of everybody is bluffing.
Fixed a statement in the article: “[people] will pretend to know stuff about [anything] even if they have absolutely zero clue…”

You sound like a conservative complaining about racism. They make the same argument; argue the tone, not the point. Which is weird for conservatives and men to take the “this might hurt someone’s feelings” strategy of discourse.

That is the diagonal opposite of my point, sorry no.
Kinda fun how you wanted to call out an overemphasis on tone but the only thing you’re noticing is what I sound like. I’ll try to be clearer next time, I can be slightly cryptic.

Lol, it’s definitely stoking gender divisions I would say.

Same guys will explain machine learning after reading one headline, call themselves thought leaders, and get promoted for being loudly wrong in a blazer. … The hallucinations were human first.

Are those hallucinations or just straight up lies?
Hallucinations need medical intervention if they’re severe
Lies need legal intervention if they’re severe
LLMs generally don’t create anything new; they just amplify and sometimes clarify the inputs.
