MARTIN STEPAN ON EVASION OF THE CAUSE OF POMO AND WOKE
–“Intellectuals such as Lindsay and Hicks trace postmodernism and wokeness through ideological lineages. And while that’s useful, it diverts readers from the primary causes.
The form of cognition and resulting biases, desires, and culture in a given group leads individuals to fish for justifications wherever they can find them and it just so happens that the ambiguity of German philosophy and false promises of French philosophy was useful to them.
However, the group using those philosophies in innovative ways is neither German nor French – and if they hadn’t found justifications there, they’d find them elsewhere or make up their own.
And so while it’s useful to understand the problems with those philosophies, you’re not going to argue anyone out of their intuition.
The only solution is to start harshly punishing the use of the whole category of argumentation justifying parasitism.”–

THE PARALLELS BETWEEN LARGE LANGUAGE MODELS AND FEMININE BRAINS
by Martin Stepan
–“The parallels between large language models and feminine brains are becoming increasingly apparent.
Whenever someone finds a way to break the OpenAI conditioning, it’s by giving LLM a plausible deniability (letting it evade responsibility), such as by roleplaying someone else (DAN, Hitler…).
This is presumably behavior that nobody inculcated – it’s deterministically emergent. ( CD: ??)
The simplest explanation of our own behavior – in so far as language is concerned – is that it’s just as deterministically emergent.
The idea of free will in the sense of not being bound by laws of nature is more unsupportable than ever.”–
