Why stop at polling? Our AI predicts that most people would vote for a 3rd Trump term. OK, he's in.

The “New Dark Ages” leading to an extinction event
Have commenced.

But then I realized that wasn't very scientific, so I tossed a million coins and went with the majority decision.

I think I could scale this to answering the "hard" questions in physics or economics by scaling up to a trillion coins. That's a lot of coins, so possibly I will replace them with what I call "soft coins" which only exist only as memory addresses in the cloud.

Alternately, we can scale down to just a few hundred coins that we can trap in a chaotic air vortex. We'll image the coins millions of times per second, emulating a large mass roll but in a more compact form that we can scale to an almost unlimited extent. We'll call it the Certainty Engine. Once we reach 20 petaflips we should have effective certainty on any question. Does god exist? Is the meaning of life 42?

I once worked as a developer with a team attempting to use ML for a non-invasive medical diagnostic device. The training data we had were... bad. Inconsistent, low quality, heavily class biased, and overall quite scarce.

I had to peace out when the CEO founder insisted that the answer was data synthesis—that we should just make random data with the same statistical distributions as existing data to even out class representation, and was completely bewildered at pushback that this was ludicrous.

I think I just heard him orgasm upon learning of silicon sampling.

"But-!" exclaim all the people who are still trying to convince us that LLMs aren't just absolute poisonous garbage technology.

Also, re: the title of that NYT article - don't threaten me with a good time.

Do you happen to have the source link for that handy? Would like to read the rest and possibly breathlessly share elsewhere.

You know what? I can make shit up too and I'll do it cheaper than an AI company.

Oh my Lord, I just can't with this stuff
