Exactly. You have to manifest at a high vibrational frequency.

Thanks for the laugh.

This is kinda like that thing about how psychic mediums supposedly can't medium if there's a skeptic in the room. Goes to show that AI really is a modern-day ouija board.

The accurate inferences that can be drawn from subtle linguistic attributes should freak you out more than they do.

Switching one good synonym can send the model off an entirely different direction in response, or so I’ve observed.

Don’t know why you’re getting downvoted, this is a fascinating hypothesis and honestly super believable. It makes way more sense than the intuitive belief that there’s actually something under the human skin suit understanding any of this code.

It's probably more to do with the intelligence required to know when a specific type of code will yield poor future coding integrations and large scale implementation.

It's pretty clear that people think greenfield projects can constantly be slopified and that AI will always be able to dig them another logical connection, so it doesn't matter which abstraction the AI chose this time; it can always be better.

This is akin to people who think we can just keep using oil to fuel technological growth because it'll some how improve the ability of technology to solve climate problems.

It's akin to the techno capitalist cult of "effective altruism" that assumes there's no way you could f'up the world that you can't fix with "good deeds"

There's a lot of hidden context in evaluating the output of LLMs, and if you're just looking at todays success, you'll come away with a much different view that if you're looking at next year's.

Optimism is only then, in this case, that you believe the AI will keep getting more powerful that it'll always clean up todays mess.

I call this techno magic, indistinguishable from religious 'optimism'
