Just load up a LLM with everything he ever wrote or said publicly and privately (◔_◔)



I know your statement is sarcastic, but it's disturbing how common this sentiment actually is.

It assumes that humans are unchanging, inflexible automata whose actions can be predicted entirely by what they have said or done, let alone that it doesn't consider the fact that they may simply be a facade. In reality, it is their unstated framework of thinking that guides their speech and actions.


Marketing strategy nowadays is governed by market specialists and when the money is the only thing they value, it comes like that... There's no vision in money


>it is their unstated framework of thinking that guides their speech and actions.

oh don't worry, humanity will probably have BCI technology for that in 20 years. and maybe the rest of society in 40 years.

But yeah, I don't have anything original to say. You're right, but a lot of the powers that be are putting a lot of money into trying to convince society that we're ready to automate out 90+% of labor in all sectors. Creative or otherwise.


Eh, I only just realized that this idea is basically the character Dixie Flatline from Neuromancer.


I always thought Dixie Flatline was more a braindump than loading up all his "outputs"


Well, it was, but that's probably more because that's what seemed like the reasonable way to do it at the time.
