@midtsveen@social.linux.pizzaYeah, call me a fucking baby anarchist, I don’t give a shit, because that’s exactly what I am. But don’t you dare shit on me just because I chose to watch a clip from Noam Chomsky.
Rudolf Rocker is the one who really inspires me, not Chomsky, so don’t fucking trash me just for watching a clip from Chomsky.
You do you and I’ll do me. Cool? Cool.

@rperezrosario@mastodon.socialLinguist Noam Chomsky is interviewed by Common Dreams writer C.J. Polychroniou on the subject of ChatGPT in this May 2023 piece. Chomsky's stance on LLMs is that as long as we're not able to atomically understand what goes on in the statistical black box that currently is an LLM, linguists won't be able to benefit from being able to see whether it learns language like a human does, or not.

@trochee@dair-community.socialtoday I actually got to use the phrase "[system] can't do that because it requires a higher level of the Chomsky Hierarchy than we've got available"
**and it was the right answer to a product problem**
feels like the core plot arc of The Last Starfighter
