Proud to be mauled by a bear

You see here, I mean to enjoy the outdoors and maybe try to make an insignificant difference while you still have breath to whine with. That said, I agree with you, we fucked up, but should death be a reason to stop living?

You come off that you've just learned of the world beyond and maybe on the younger side: don't waste your time online, it is precious.

Also if manicured grass is your reason for deserving death then really you may just be damaged

No, actually, you should touch grass. That thread was entertaining though.

Then WHY fight something that would've been pennies and now will at least be dimes? As much as I want to believe musk is close to insolvency, I don't think its quite possible yet. But then why die on these stupid little hills?

Then why have we invented houseboats? It's clearly the best of both worlds

You are an unbiased AI assistant

I don't want to spam this link but seriously watch this 3blue1brown video on how text transformers work. You're right on that last part, but its a far fetch from an intelligence. Just a very intelligent use of statistical methods. But its precisely that reason that reason it can be "convinced", because parameters restraining its output have to be weighed into the model, so its just a statistic that will fail.

Im not intending to downplay the significance of GPTs, but we need to baseline the hype around them before we can discuss where AI goes next, and what it can mean for people. Also far before we use it for any secure services, because we've already seen what can happen

I've practically been groveling begging my girlfriend to switch.

Its not that bad just ignore the ads

Yeah I don't go in replies because it's always bots

There's still some things on there

She didn't really catch onto mastodon, discoverability is the problem imo. May try getting her onto bluesky even though it wouldn't be my pick. Some people just like whatever they currently have more than change - which maybe not being able to block like EVERY OTHER media platform may be a big enough change.

I was being pessimistic when I said he wouldn't be charged with squat if they run the Stormy Daniels case before, you know, ruling on the integrity of our highest office.

My father still remains hopeful "they'll get him like they got Al Capone" (on taxes), but I have a hard time seeing that through when he still has judges appointed by him, ruling on him. Oh and yeah we're not even going to approach his highest crimes because that would be disadvantageous to his campaign... give me a break ffs

The fallout of image generation will be even more incredible imo. Even if models do become even more capable, training off of post-'21 data will become increasingly polluted and difficult to distinguish as models improve their output, which inevitably leads to model collapse. At least until we have a standardized way of flagging generated images opposed to real ones, but I don't really like that future.

Just on a tangent, openai claiming video models will help "AGI" understand the world around it is laughable to me. 3blue1brown released a very informative video on how text transformers work, and in principal all "AI" is at the moment is very clever statistics and lots of matrix multiplication. How our minds process and retain information is by far more complicated, as we don't fully understand ourselves yet and we are a grand leap away from ever emulating a true mind.

All that to say is I can't wait for people to realize: oh hey that is just to try to replace talent in film production coming from silicon valley

Its about time, maybe now my wife will come back and listen to me knowing that we can finally live with clean air and no more frogs turnin gay

Hah so I was right about those fools coopting an existing logo because thats all they are capable of, a very strong habit of theirs...

No linux support

Well, you got 4% max that care about that, the rest though.

And 400mil and no marketing is surprising as usually it seems to go the other way, at least they delivered something... god the bar for AAA is low, but not wasting money on poorly targeted ads and otherwise hyping is new

Actually if you would be so kind, what is the rundown of Usenet? I've searched a bit but been busy to really sit down on it, should I consider it being just a side thing (for now)?

Yeah, I know, so I was expressing empathy to the oberton commenter.

Alternatively, use a closed ecosystem susceptible to data rot and loss.

Would you want art to be unfindable because scraping for AI image generation happens? It's a solution looking for problems.

Im just happy my cracked apk somehow still works. Lol

Instead of complaining about the obvious disconnect between metrics and real world, often regional CoL, etc etc (oh and cost of medical care). Here's a simple solution:

Raise federal minimum wage, it's been a good decade and a bit since it went up from $5/h, the dollar has only inflated oh about 45% since 2009

We do not have a rigorous model of the brain, yet we have designed LLMs. Experts of decades in ML recognize that there is no intelligence happening here, because yes, we don't understand intelligence, certainly not enough to build one.

If we want to take from definitions, here is Merriam Webster

(1)

: the ability to learn or understand or to deal with new or trying >situations : reason

also : the skilled use of reason

(2)

: the ability to apply knowledge to manipulate one's >environment or to think abstractly as measured by objective >criteria (such as tests)

The context stack is the closest thing we have to being able to retain and apply old info to newer context, the rest is in the name. Generative Pre-Trained language models, their given output is baked by a statiscial model finding similar text, also coined Stocastic parrots by some ML researchers, I find it to be a more fitting name. There's also no doubt of their potential (and already practiced) utility, but a long shot of being able to be considered a person by law.

I would say its new torn status would make it a perfect fit for said museum

My car saved my ass from a road raging drunk, but android auto cannot skip songs from the steering wheel, quite a duality.

Im not sure but both my old highschools completely banned having even a picture of a rainbow and numerous books, so I'd gladly swap with whatever reality this guy's from

I would love an explaination on that last part.

How unfortunate, anyway, here's your paid vacation.

Ahem thats a Proxmox powered homework folder to you

It does help to know what those funny letters mean. Now we wait for regulators to catch up..

If anything, we're a very long way from anything close to intelligent, OpenAI (and subsequently MS, being publicly traded) sold investors on the pretense that LLMs are close to being "AGI" and now more and more data is necessary to achieving that.

If you know the internet, you know there's a lot of garbage. I for one can't wait for garbage-in garbage-out to start taking its toll.

Also I'm surprised how well open source models have shaped up, its certainly worth a look. I occasionally use a local model for "brainstorming" in the loosest terms, as I generally know what I'm expecting, but it's sometimes helpful to read tasks laid out. Also comfort in that nothing even need leave my network, and even in a pinch I got some answers when my network was offline.

It gives a little hope while corps get to blatantly violate copyright while having wielding it so heavily, that advancements have been so great in open source.

If you think the useless appliances are bad, just take a look at more critical connected devices.

I needed some POE security cameras, found some foscam ones on the cheap. Plug them up, go to IP, "install our app"... was pleased to find it allowed a local account without the need for an email, but found that half of my network traffic was comprised of requests to their "ivyIOT AI detection". I didnt measure what data was going through before sectioning them behind a firewall zone.

My fault for not having looked further into other brands, they were still a bargain and work without issue with my setup, but annoying

Now THAT is the AI innovation I'm here for

Building my own training set is something I would certainly want to do eventually. Ive been messing with Mistral Instruct using GPT4ALL and its genuinely impressive how quick my 2060 can hallucinate relatively accurate information, but its also evident of limitations. IE I tell it I do not want to use AWS or another cloud hosting service, it will just return a list of suggested services not including AWS. Most certainly a limit of its training data but still impressive.

Anyone suggesting to use LLMs to manage people or resources are better off flipping a coin on every thought, more than likely companies who are insistent on it will go belly up soon enough

Holy fuck I want more
