Prophetisch

@tenzochris@mastodon.social:

The advent of LLMs masquerading as artificial intelligence has made the notion of an absurdly powerful computer, constructed at great expense, and given unseemly resources to answer a meaningful question, only to return the answer 42, feel more and more prophetic.

@lritter@mastodon.gamedev.place:

gotta say, douglas adams prepared me better for our absurd future than isaac asimov. like, spending hours explaining to a replicator AI how to make an excellent cup of tea, only to have the AI then lock up 100% of the ships computers resources mid-battle as it tries to comply with the request, that does seem like an increasingly more plausible scenario than a scientist planning a techno cult centuries in advance to prevent a great calamity

Trotz all ihrer Schwächen haben Lame Language Models die erstaunliche Leistung vollbracht, meinen Respekt vor Douglas Adams zu erhöhen.
