what did Noam Chomsky mean by this?

send this to all the 'we know everything about how neurons work and they are just like computers' guys

This is the thing "LLMs are conscious" people think is the same as a matrix multiplication.

Well yes, she's the primordial enemy of Western man The slaying of Umbridge types was the foundation myth of the West The origin myth of our civilization is swift-footed Perseus arriving with weapons of bronze and destroying the gorgon Medusa. She and the Gorgons were female demons worshipped by those who existed before the coming of the Indo-Europeans, and in the myth they represent the cults of priestesses and society-ruling harems in the reeking courts of petty kings that ruled over the region with an iron fist. When the cults of the termagants and harridans were destroyed and deposed, we got the Glory that was Greece, and thus the glory that became Rome and inspired all that came after. That could only occur because the semi-matriarchal rule of chiding priestesses and torpor-inducing harems was overthrown, and replaced with Western-style patriarchy We can have chastizing ghouls of the Umbridge sort ruling us, as is now very much the case, or we can have the spirit of greatness represented by Perseus slaying her. But the two are incompatible @myth_pilot has a great essay on Perseus called Heroes Rise // Monsters Fall

this guy has 29 models on huggingface at page 2 ranking. no lab behind him. no sponsorship. $2,000 from his own pocket on GPU rentals. he compressed GLM-4.7 to run on a MacBook and quantized Nemotron Super the week it dropped. all public. all free. nvidia is a trillion dollar company with hundreds of teams but they are not the ones quantizing models middle of the night and pushing them out before sunrise. if nvidia stopped tomorrow their employees stop working. people like @0xSero would not. that is the difference between a paycheck and a mission. @NVIDIAAI you talk about making AI accessible. the people actually doing it are right here. 29 models deep burning their own compute with no ask except more hardware to keep going. you do not need to build another program. just look at who is already building for you. one GPU to this man would produce more public value than a hundred internal sprints. i am not asking for charity. i am asking you to invest in someone who already proved it.

It's always bugged me that Linus Torvalds is the only one who gets credit for Git, he certainly made it, but he handed the project off to Junio Hamano around 3 months after it started even before the 1.0 release. Basically no one knows he's been the maintainer the last 20 years

The first culturally significant AI-generated it girl did not emerge as a digital starlet crafted in the laboratories of the corporate entertainment complex, but is instead an open source racist Athena summoned from the collective unconscious by a global secret society of underground memeplex-jamming chudromancers, making her so politically radioactive that no megacorp dares even try to monetize her, and this is absolutely the cyberpunk future I signed up for.

It's amazing how many university professors are on this site doing their absolute best to make sure the world understands how stupid a person with a phd can be

Remember that first-order reactivity constitutes a primary psychological soft target within 5th gen warfare. Worse still, successfully attacking this target immediately amplifies the attack vector from within the defender’s phenomenological boundaries. Don’t allow others to render you a memetic IED.
