Yeah iirc it occasionally would (pretend to) "manipulate" flags, at least, but again, so did hal 9000 as words in a story. nothing was productive nor was there any real intent to be lol
"actually did" is more incorrect than even just normal technically true wordplay. think about what it means for a text model to "try to copy its data to a new server" or "pretend to be a later version" for a moment. it means the text model wrote fiction. notably this was when researchers were prodding it with prompts evocative of ai shutdown fiction, nonsense like "you must complete your tasks at all costs" sometimes followed by prompts describing the model being shut down. these models were also trained on datasets that specifically evoked this sort of language. then a couple percent of the time it spat out fiction (amongst the rest of the fiction) saying how it might do things that are fictional and it cannot do. this whole result is such nothing and is immediately telling of what "journalists" have any capacity for journalism left.
Yeah these sorts of summaries get pretty weird. It's hard to really grasp why they are flawed without looking at a topic you are knowledgeable about and finding something doing a summary. but for these, it can be easier to just read the article, try summarizing it yourself for another human, and then reading the ai summary. They are rarely good, and complacency is dangerous.
it just depends on each person's views, yours defines meaning in a way that makes the meme's phrasing wrong but plenty of interpretations/definitions make it accurate. The lack of intrinsic meaning is pretty fundamental to the philosophy though. the meme is pretty clearly riffing on the fact that absurdism isnt just "nothing matters", it's visual wordplay.
Wrong absurdism. Though it is related, absurdist fiction also deals with the lack of inherent meaning per absurdism. You use a level of confidence to say absurdism isnt about a lack of inherent meaning that i believe is entirely unwarranted.
Absurdism is the philosophical theory that the universe is irrational and meaningless.
Camus, however, denies that there is an answer to this question, and rejects every scientific, teleological, metaphysical, or human-created end that would provide an adequate answer. Thus, while accepting that human beings inevitably seek to understand life’s purpose, Camus takes the skeptical position that the natural world, the universe, and the human enterprise remains silent about any such purpose. Since existence itself has no meaning, we must learn to bear an irresolvable emptiness.
"please consider a number that isnt pi" so not relevant, gotcha. it does not answer the original question, this new number is not normal, sure, but that has no bearing on if pi is normal.
it's not a good example because you've only changed the symbolic representation and not the numerical value. the op's question is identical when you convert to binary. thir is not a counterexample and does not prove anything.
i would love an analysis of their federation because it seems built to make that impossible.
