We’ll be looking back over 2024 and forward to 2025 through an anthropological lens, with @BVLSingler & @JohnZerilli to consider how #AI has been reshaping narratives like job replacement, creativity, education, law, and religion.

Finally read this excellent anthropological study the hidden spiritual and cultural references within the latent space of language models, by @BVLSingler & @mpshanahan. Puzzled by terms like 'hyperstition' or 'noosphere'? This is a great place to start! arxiv.org/abs/2411.13223

Important footnote in my new paper with @BVLSingler. We usually put "jailbreak" in quotes for this reason.

Some people never saw M3GAN and it shows.
Just watched my 5-year-old son chat with ChatGPT advanced voice mode for over 45 minutes.
It started with a question about how cars were made.
It explained it in a way that he could understand.
He started peppering it with questions.
Then he told it about his teacher, and that he was learning to count.
ChatGPT started quizzing him on counting, and egging him on, making it into a game.
He was laughing and having a blast, and it (obviously) never lost patience with him.
I think this is going to be revolutionary. The essentially free, infinitely patient, super genius teacher that calibrates itself perfectly to your kid's learning style and pace.
Excited about the future.
