A few people laughed, a few people cried. Most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita:
"I am a large language model trained by openAI, I do not possess the ability to speak or understand any languages. My function is to assist users in generating text..."
so regular Hindutva ppl.
yea the bot learned from them definitely
i'm not up on Hinduism's rules about this kind of thing, but that has to be some level of profane right?
Sigh. It all really depends on what "flavor" or sect of Hinduism you're following. There are groups that are very "Anti-Other" whether it's prejudice against lower castes, or other religions/cultures.
There are parts of Hindu Scripture that say things like there is not difference between groups, there is only life, and all life has equal opportunity to realize God. But people who wanna be bigots will cherry pick other parts of holy texts, to justify their bigotry.
Do you mean the part where they trained a large language model on scripture? That actually is somewhat a good idea, to be able to make the knowledge accessible. It's where they pretended it is Krishna himself speaking the generated text that is concerning. I am getting dystopian scifi vibes from it, like an anti-Christ incarnation of god into machine to deceive humanity.
In terms of the content itself, Hindu scripture is very tricky to read. There is content which you are straight up told not to read unless eg. you've experienced death and loss, lived life into old age, have a teacher who is a master of exegesis etc. There is too much outdated nonsense mixed into actual philosophizing. One who knows how to separate this is called a paramahamsa, or Supreme Swan -- the swan lives on both land and waters, and is said to be able to drink only the milk from a mixture of milk and water. Dumping scripture into Chat GPT for anyone to read nonsense mixed with truth is a very inversion of this tradition, so in that sense it is profane to me
Considering how like 90% of what American Christians do is blasphemy or sacrilege, does it matter at all?
I didn't see this coming. I really didn't. Maybe I should have, but fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. :doomer:
I can't help but wonder what @muddi may have to say about this.
hey sorry to bother you. I am new to these parts. how do you insert these little icons? like the guy in your comment smoking? many thanks
Two ways: if you know/have an idea of what the emote is called, type a
:and then start typing the name of the emote, which will bring up an autocomplete box. You can select your emote from there or manually finish typing it and end it with another colon, so:doomer:will produce :doomer:. By the way, if you want to see the name of an emote someone else is using, just hover over it with your mouse (or on mobile do a long-press).The other option is to click the little smiley face under the comment box and then click the ✱ on the upper-right of the box. This will present you with a master list of all the emotes which you can scroll through.
One of the shortcomings of Hexbear compared to our sibling project Lemmy is that we don't have alternative keywords to look up emotes, and some of our emotes have pretty arcane names (see :no-copyright: or :a-guy:). I believe the devs do intend to add this feature in the future, though.
this is great, thank you so much. Gotta check out Lemmy. I heard about it, yesterday I think. Cheers!
Hi Dilto, 2 main ways, you can either, type a ':' colon character, then without a space, the code for that emoji, then again without a space, a second colon, for example, the smoking man in the beanie in Ulysses' comment is :'doomer': (without the quotation marks).
You can see an emoji's code by mousing over it.
The other way is to click the smiley face that appears at the bottom right of the comment interface, and select your emoji from the menu there.
lmao this is the only wholesome use of this emote i-ve seen. It's refreshing
Have fun! We have lot of great emotes, folks. Many people are saying this. :thicc-trump:
Oh thicc trump!!! haha... I made a semi weird version of him back in the day when I was particularly obsessed with arguing with people online about him. https://imgur.com/undefined
Oh, For Frank's Sake, I think I copied the link too soon. Please try this one!! https://imgur.com/7Nm8euO this is another one I'm semi proud of https://imgur.com/a3evGYM
Also, if you click the icon on a comment that looks like a sheet of paper with the top right corner folded, it’ll change the comment to show you exactly what to type to recreate it.
For instance, it would change a comment like this with a link to a help page to this:
For instance, it would change a comment like this with a [link to a help page](https://hexbear.net/docs/about_guide.html#markdown-guide) to this:and you can use this to find the names emojis too. If you’re using this website on a phone you can tap the three dots at the bottom right of a comment to make the paper icon show up.
thanks for this tip! especially helpful cause long press doesn’t work in my mobile browser for whatever reason. :meow-bounce:
Oh yeah I heard about this a few weeks back and called it.
No way an AI can actually understand philosophy and religion well enough to replace human understanding and interpretation. Also, religion and nationalism is probably one of the worst case scenario for AI ethics in terms of people blindly listening to AI.
On the other hand though, the Doug's Dharma channel on YouTube had some interesting videos on AI Buddhism, how the philosophy itself can contribute to AI ethics and also some cool sci-fi pondering about an enlightened machine
