Rafael Perez<p>Linguist 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.</p><p>"Noam Chomsky Speaks on What ChatGPT Is Really Good For"</p><p><a href="https://chomsky.info/20230503-2/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">chomsky.info/20230503-2/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/chomsky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chomsky</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/nlp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nlp</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/llm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>llm</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ai</span></a></p>

Don Trueten :antifa:Heute in der Geschichte der #Arbeiterbewegung: 18. Mai 1814: Der russische #Anarchist und Philosoph Michail #Bakunin wurde geboren. In #Paris lernte er in den 1840er Jahren #Marx und #Proudhon kennen, die ihn früh beeinflussten. Später wurde er wegen seiner Ablehnung der russischen Besetzung #Polen​s aus #Frankreich ausgewiesen. 1849 wurde er in #Dresden wegen seiner Beteiligung am #Prag​er #Aufstand von 1848 verhaftet. Die Behörden schickten ihn zurück nach #Russland, wo er inhaftiert und 1857 nach #Sibirien verbannt wurde. Er konnte aber über #Japan fliehen und floh in die USA und dann nach #England.<p> 1868 trat er der Internationalen <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Arbeiterassoziation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Arbeiterassoziation</span></a> bei und wurde Anführer der schnell wachsenden anarchistischen Fraktion.

MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History May 18, 1814: Russian anarchist militant and philosopher Mikhail Bakunin was born. In Paris, in the 1840’s, he met Marx and Proudhon, who were early influences on him. He was later expelled from France for opposing Russia’s occupation of Poland. In 1849, the authorities arrested him in Dresden for participating in the Czech rebellion of 1848. They deported him back to Russia, where the authorities imprisoned him and then exiled him to Siberia in 1857. However, he escaped through Japan and fled to the U.S. and then England. </p><p>In 1868, he joined the International Working Men’s Association, leading the rapidly growing anarchist faction. He argued for federations of self-governing workplaces and communes to replace the state. This was in contrast to Marx, who argued for the state to help bring about socialism. In 1872, they expelled Bakunin from the International. Bakunin had an influence on the IWW, Noam Chomsky, Peter Kropotkin, Herbert Marcuse, Emma Goldman, and the Spanish CNT and FAI.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/anarchism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>anarchism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bakunin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bakunin</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IWW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IWW</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/cnt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cnt</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/chomsky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chomsky</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/kropotkin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kropotkin</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/emmagoldman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>emmagoldman</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/marx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>marx</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/rebellion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rebellion</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/revolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>revolution</span></a></p>

If the Soviets refused to negotiate a point, they were intransigent and belligerent; if they appeared willing to make concessions, this was but a skillful ploy to put us off our guard. By opposing arms limitations, they would have demonstrated their aggressive intent; but when in fact they supported most armament treaties, it was because they were mendacious and manipulative. If the churches in the USSR were empty, this demonstrated that religion was suppressed; but if the churches were full, this meant the people were rejecting the regime's atheistic ideology. If the workers went on strike (as happened on infrequent occasions), this was evidence of their alienation from the collectivist system; if they didn't go on strike, this was because they were intimidated and lacked freedom. A scarcity of consumer goods demonstrated the failure of the economic system; an improvement in consumer supplies meant only that the leaders were attempting to placate a restive population and so maintain a firmer hold over them.</p><p>If communists in the United States played an important role struggling for the rights of workers, the poor, African-Americans, women, and others, this was only their guileful way of gathering support among disfranchised groups and gaining power for themselves. How one gained power by fighting for the rights of powerless groups was never explained. What we are dealing with is a nonfalsifiable orthodoxy, so assiduously marketed by the ruling interests that it affected people across the entire political spectrum."</p><p>*Parenti intensifies...*</p><p><a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/socialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>socialism</span></a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/communism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>communism</span></a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/anarchism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>anarchism</span></a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/marxism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>marxism</span></a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/MichaelParenti" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MichaelParenti</span></a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/parenti" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>parenti</span></a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/Chomsky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Chomsky</span></a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/NoamChomsky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoamChomsky</span></a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/InventingReality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InventingReality</span></a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/ManufacturingConsent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ManufacturingConsent</span></a></p>

Stefan Müller :verified:<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://climatejustice.social/@peer" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>peer</span></a></span> Also mir ging es im ursprüngliche Tröt um Hausarbeiten und darum, was zukünftige Wissenschaftler*innen gelernt haben sollten. Da ist jetzt gängige wissenschaftliche Praxis überhaupt noch nicht mit dabei. Natürlich gab es gerade in der Chomskyschen Richtung immer Menschen, die gesagt haben, alles was Chomsky sagt, ist richtig. Das hilft der Wissenschaft nicht unbedingt weiter, aber Chomsky hat seine Community immerhin von 1957 bis zu seinen letzten Veröffentlichungen (2013?) getragen. Es war auch ein Arbeitsbeschaffungsprogramm, weil man seine Theorie alle fünf Jahre ändern konnte, weil sich die Grundannahmen wieder geändert hatten. So konnte man sein ganzes Leben an Partikelverben forschen. Zum Beispiel.</p><p>Ich hatte vorhin meinen Tröt abgeändert und Dummheit durch Unwissenheit ergänzt. Man kann ja erst mal niemandem vorwerfen, dass er vor dem Studium nichts weiß. Dumm wird es dann nur, wenn er oder sie versucht, das Lernen zu umgehen. Und wenn man dann so wenig über das Fach selbst und über die Tools, die man verwendet, weiß, dass man einfach Leichtgläubig annimmt, dass die KI das schon weiß und man einen schwachen, inkonsistenten und offensichtlich zusammenfantasierten Text abgibt, tja, dann gibt es ein Problem.</p><p>Solche Texte werden übrigens auch zu Konferenzen eingereicht. Das wird in Laberfächern zunehmend zum Problem werden. HPSG ist eher wie Mathe. Da kann man diese Submissions leicht aussortieren.</p><p>Zu Wissenschaftlern habe ich sonst gar nichts geschrieben. Ich weiß nicht, was Du da meinst.</p><p><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Everett" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Everett</span></a> ist als Missionar zu den <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Piraha" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Piraha</span></a> gegangen. Die Missionare kriegen eine sehr gute linguistische Ausbildung vom Linguistic Summer Institute, so dass sie dann Sprachen ohne gemeinsame Sprache lernen können. Everett war lange vor Ort und kennt die Sprache und Kultur. </p><p>Nach dem großen Skandal mit <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Chomsky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Chomsky</span></a> waren auch Ted Gibson und Uli Sauerland dort. Aber das ist nicht vergleichbar mit dem, was Everett gemacht hat. Ich denke, dass weder Sauerland noch Gibson die Sprache können. Vielleicht haben Sie mit Informanten gearbeitet, die inzwischen Portugiesisch können. Das weiß ich nicht genau. Müsste man mal nachlesen. Jetzt ist das Gebiet, so weit ich weiß dicht und es darf gar keiner mehr hinfahren.</p><p>Was das alles jetzt aber mit ChatGPT zu tun haben soll, verstehe ich nicht.<br> <br>Ansonsten: Danke für den Link! Sicher sind die Gründe für Betrug zahlreich. Die Unwissenheit spielt dann nach der Anwendung der Tools eine Rolle: Wenn sie etwas wüssten, könnten sie sehen, dass der Text Mist ist. Dazu müssten sie aber Texte lesen. Das versuchen sie aber gerade zu vermeiden. Also eine paradoxe Situation.</p><p>Und letzter Punkt: Es macht Spaß, alternative Theorien zu zerlegen. Den Fehler zu finden, einer Intuition zu folgen und dann nachweisen zu können, dass die Theorie XY nicht funktioniert. Das ist der große Vorteil an Chomskyschen Theorien und allem, was sich daraus entwickelt hat. Es ist formal (sollte es jedenfalls sein) und kann widerlegt werden. Das ist Fortschritt.</p><p>Es macht aber keinen Spaß mit LLMs zu diskutieren. Das ist sinnlos. Ihre Schöpfer werden nur sagen: Ja, ok, danke: Warte auf das nächste Update, da haben wir noch ein Terrabyte mehr Daten berücksichtigt, dann wird das besser.</p><p><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/LLM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LLM</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/KI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KI</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Betrug" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Betrug</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/AcademicChatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AcademicChatter</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ChatGPT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChatGPT</span></a></p>
