Don’t show you’re “safe” to be around with words or memes.

Show it with actions. Prove it.

It’s not up to me to inform others that they are safe around me.

Don’t be a ‘FREE CANDY’ van.

The thing to keep in mind about Large Language Models (LLMs, what people refer to as AI, currently) is even though human knowledge in the form of language is fed into them for their training, they are only storing statistical models of language, not the actual human knowledge. Their responses are constructed from statistical analysis of context of prior language used.

Any appearance of knowledge is pure coincidence. Even on the most “advanced” models.

Language is how we convey knowledge, not the knowledge itself. This is why a language model can never actually know anything.

And this is why they’re so easy to manipulate into conveying objectively false information, in some cases, maliciously so. ChatGPT and all the other big vendors do manipulate their models, and yes, in part, with malice.

Posting dogs to #dogsofmastodon is a really good way to get me to like your post.

Posting AI slop to that hashtag earns you a block. Fuck off.

Now that I'm here, let's do a new introduction!

Hi, I'm Beau. I have 2 greyhounds named Benson and Leeloo. They're pretty chill dogs. Both are seniors, but one barely so. Don't tell her, she doesn't know yet.

I have Type 2 Diabetes. I've heard all the "cures" so don't bother with it. I am insulin using due to low insulin production. I use tech to help manage this. I'm also a mod in an online diabetes community.

I'm on the aroace spectrum. I am not, strictly, aroace. If you want to know more, feel free to ask.

I'm into technology, particularly data. Which is why I'm a database administrator by career. I also enjoy OpenSource stuff and run a HomeLab. I'm not going to just tell you to switch to Linux though.

I'm staunchly pro-vax. I also mask as much as I reasonably can in public. To date, I have not had symptoms of COVID-19 nor have I tested positive.

I'm American, currently living in Texas. I’m hoping to not be in Texas anymore at some point.
