"Kyle Fish, who leads model welfare research at Anthropic"

Journalism is hard. How can you write that sentence without wanting to shoot yourself in the head 4 or 7 times.

Yeah sure. Your bucket of statistics needs a spa day. Dipshits.

@tante You know what I love on my spa days?

To completely unplug and reset.

[tante@tldr.nettime.org]

@larsmb Maybe take a harddrive with some weights saved on it with you so your model can also chill

[meznor@mstdn.social]

@tante I can’t even make sense of what that means??

like I understand the individual meanings of the words “model” (in this context, assuming LLM model), “welfare” (as in, a program that provides social assistance to people of low income, or, as in, relating to wellbeing of someone), and “research,” but can not understand what they mean when strung together??

@tante Fish spa...

[misusecase@twit.social]

@tante My immediate thought is that this is a way to (further) muddy the distinction between LLMs and actual living, breathing human beings.

[nf3xn@mastodon.social]

@tante Oh dear now Anthropic presenting with Lemoine Syndrome. Seems there is some occupational hazard to working with LLMs all day... isn't that right Gemini? ...Gemini?

@tante "...and is the Model with us in the room now?"

@tante yeah, do not humanize the machine, the tool they use to de-humanize us all

[der_mit_ph@toot.berlin]

@tante But can it swim.

[mauricetfrank@mastodon.social]

@tante what the heck is model welfare?

[ozzelot@mstdn.social]

@mauricetfrank
As a Kraftwerk fan, I can only guess it involves a certain amount of Sekt.

@tante I am sure they can replace him with another LLM
