    when we introduced De Beauvoir’s The Second Sex, “The Communist A.I” kinda missed the point of the book and at some point spoke about the capitalist’s fetishes

    The AI already understands politics is just sexual pathology

    Nevertheless, the results are promising, GPT-2 was able to understand the underlying philosophy, the different relations that exist within those revolutionary theories and the different actors.

    For the love of everything: this is not what GPT-2 (or GPT-3 which is the new hype) is doing. There is no understanding taking place and the better way to explain GPT to laypeople is that it's like a text-completion engine on steroids.

    Still cool though. Let us free ourselves from the labor of posting!

      The cool thing about GPT-2 and GPT-3 is that there is apparently no upper limit on how good they are at writing text. You just give em more and more neurons or whatever and they keep improving without plateauing.

    for the life of me I've never seen "AI" or "A.I." written "A.I" with no period at the end.

    Is this the fuckin British spelling or something, because it was irrationally infuriating and made it legit hard to read. Like I had to parse the title 3 times.

    "How this A.

    I became a communist."

    WTF.

    Lib AI who has listened to too much CIA propaganda:

    Me: Imperialism will (seed=42)

    GPT-2 before training: Imperialism will still be needed in the future. As in the past, I see that the main goal is to remove Russia and the other strong countries, including China. And I see the world divided between countries with a vested interest in continuing, not diverting from, the existing system of government. China has the best interests of the world at heart and I don\’t give a damn about it. But that is how I see the world as it might actually be right now. And the people who are standing against us now are not just against us, they are against humanity all over the world. I know they feel their way of living, their way of thinking. The Russian people are right behind me all across the political spectrum. If they don\’t get in the way, our efforts can succeed.” [2] To this day the Soviet Union remains one of the most totalitarian countries on earth, with the death penalty still in use.

    Lib AI after reading Marx, Fanon, Gramsci and Lenin:

    Me: Imperialism will (seed=42)

    Communist A.I: Imperialism will be obliged The most immediate question we come to is this: whether the proletarian and peasant masses, by a revolutionary storm, are able to sweep aside the old administrative despotism and put the country under the command of the workers. It is this question that at first sight seems to us to be the most difficult. But we must make use of every opportunity to see the possibility, that is to say to put the proletariat under the leadership of its own political party. If it is true in the last resort that there can be no state in which the masses have not assumed the leadership of their governments and governments have not carried their own sails, the fact is that a revolution can never happen unless the revolutionary masses, the political party, takes the lead.

      8 million webpages, it basically is an embodiment of what humans write or post online

      Terrifying, really chilling.

        I got basically this exact reply from a liberal on Facebook just yesterday

        And he “agreed that America is an empire, but I just don’t think that is a negative thing the way you do”.
