[05:13]	TR News	"We're losing the universities, it's that simple. To a good approximation we've already lost the spirit of the university, as a place of free-thinking enquiry, disputation and intellectual honesty. What remains is buildings, brands and "digitalized" slop." https://cybershow.uk/blog/posts/racket/
[05:13]	TR News	"Would anyone argue that it's naive to suppose the universities value knowledge? Would anyone say "of course the universities would throw teaching and research under a bus to flatter the faux 'progress' of the tech oligarchs"? There are no "whistleblowers" in academia because the criminal disassembly is happening in public view."
[05:14]	TR News	"When all the articles in what are effectively mainstream professional forums denounce higher education, complaining that teaching is in precipitous decline, that students no longer value college education, that research is fraudulent, and when the only upbeat prose comes from paid puff-pieces by Edutech companies, everyone knows something's gone wonky."
[05:14]	TR News	"The smart ones got out long before me. I held-out like the loyal soldier, desperately clinging to hope that higher education would turn around and my patient defence of human values would be vindicated. In the end it is only the students who hold any power."
[05:15]	TR News	"I tried to militate my students by giving them all "A grades" to point out that the assessment regime, amidst inhuman automation, cheapskate cuts to student support, widespread cheating and abject hypocrisy of the faculty, made the whole course a sham. It made them happy, but bless them, they were all too timid and disorganised to really use that cue to mount an effective protest."
[05:15]	TR News	"The students at Staffs seem to have a bit more chutzpah."
[05:16]	TR News	"So I say with a torn heart but great confidence that the problem at Staffordshire is quite typical, and has nothing to do with "AI". It's that higher education has become intellectually and morally bankrupt. It would be unfair to single out Staffordshire, a mere symptom of deep systemic decay."
[05:16]	TR News	"UK university education is now little more than an extractive racket, having abandoned its social principles. Capitalists took the engine of Enlightenment and turned it into a cheap jingle-jangle money machine."

[05:24]	TR News	By uploading court documents, SLAPPMatt now shows his own utter hypocrisy or worse. Because Techrights did not upload court documents.
[05:24]	TR News	But people do dumb things when they go "off the rails".
[05:26]	schestowitz[TR2]	"
[05:26]	schestowitz[TR2]	> Totally ignoring the history of the field.
[05:26]	schestowitz[TR2]	What does that mean? "Others have called such tools AI" is argumentum ad populum and a fallacious argument.
[05:26]	schestowitz[TR2]	> Ignoring large and varied debates as to what these words mean.
[05:26]	schestowitz[TR2]	Lacking evidence of ChatGPT knowing or understanding things, that is the null hypothesis."
[05:27]	schestowitz[TR2]	"Whether or not he's correct on the epistemology of LLMs is another discussion. I agree with him. They're language models, explicitly, and embracing them without skepticism in your work is more or less a form of gambling. Their undeniable usefulness in some scenarios is more an indictment of the drudgery and simplicity of many people's work in a service economy than conclusive evidence of 'reasoning' ability. We are the only categ
[05:27]	schestowitz[TR2]	orically self-aware & sapient intelligence, insofar as we can prove that we think and reason (and I don't think I need to cite this)."
[05:27]	schestowitz[TR2]	"
[05:29]	MinceR	given that GPT's method of storing information is analogous to that of humans (weights and biases in a neural net; the internals of a transformer are analogous to neurons as well), we have about as much evidence of it knowing or understanding things as of humans knowing or understanding things
[05:29]	MinceR	unless one subscribes to the idea of knowledge or understanding being stored in a soul or something, of course
[05:29]	schestowitz[TR2]	that's another kind of   debate
[05:29]	schestowitz[TR2]	like, who does have intel
[05:29]	schestowitz[TR2]	and you could argue that in orbanistan it';s down to sligans
[05:30]	schestowitz[TR2]	*&slogans
[05:30]	schestowitz[TR2]	MinceR: maybe breadth of context and scope
[05:30]	schestowitz[TR2]	example:
[05:30]	schestowitz[TR2]	say the sky is blue
[05:30]	schestowitz[TR2]	based on observation
[05:30]	schestowitz[TR2]	not because you studied many textss
[05:30]	schestowitz[TR2]	and many say "the sky is..."
[05:31]	schestowitz[TR2]	and then BLUE
[05:31]	MinceR	most current LLMs have image processing capabilities
[05:31]	MinceR	as well as image generation
[05:31]	schestowitz[TR2]	those are not LLMs
[05:31]	schestowitz[TR2]	they are interpolllllllllators
[05:31]	schestowitz[TR2]	very old image science
[05:31]	schestowitz[TR2]	we did that 20+ years ago
[05:31]	schestowitz[TR2]	I gave talks about it
[05:31]	schestowitz[TR2]	e.g.
[05:32]	MinceR	also, if you raise a human in an underground vault and they never get to see the sky, does this mean that human is incapable of knowing or understanding things?
