We have no clear picture on how this #tech really works, but we're going to charge people a monthly fee to use it and see what happens 🙈

Apparently one of the most common uses of LLMs in #academia is copy editing: cleaning up your #writing on points of spelling, grammar and style. This is wildly unattractive to me. I love writing. My personal style, my personal voice, are extremely high priorities to me. It annoys me no end when a journal editor replaces one of my unconventional style choices with something bland. If an editor ran a paper of mine through an #LLM I would scream bloody murder.

@mrundkvist I agree, but every spell-scheck, every grammar-check etc in Microsoft Word is a result of AI. I would like to find a word-processor that does NOT use AI at all.

@mrundkvist@archaeo.social avatar

@ArchaeoIain Sounds like crazy overkill to use that technology for a simple spell check. I use LibreOffice under Ubuntu Linux myself.

Weekend discovery. An intermediate step in the RAG process is document chunking. Determining the appropriate chunk size can become a trial & error game. James Briggs does a great job of explaining how to use Semantic Chunking to get better results.

“Humans are a social species down to our core; the more modern life erodes our opportunities for actual human companionship — whether it’s by interposing technology as an intermediary into every interaction, or sucking up all our time with the capitalist/consumerist grind — the more desperate we’ll become for friendly-sounding volleyball substitutes.”

GIF of Wilson, a white volleyball with a face painted on it in red, anthropomorphized by Tom Hank’s’ character in the movie Castaway, because he was so lonely he created a companion for himself. The bananas have very little to say about this.

“Here’s the paradox: even while the language fluency fools us into imagining these chatbots are ‘persons’, we simultaneously place far more trust in their accuracy than we would with any real human. That’s because the fact that we still know it’s a computer activates another, more modern rule of thumb: that computer-generated information is accurate and trustworthy.”

It’s a brilliant essay; I highly recommend you take the time to read it.

of all the things wrong with copilot's recall

and there are so fucking many things wrong with it

one of the most amazingly wrong things is that... they're already throwing "ai" bullshit at these screencaps they're doing every five seconds, right? that's what does the OCR and also does the LLM-driven description for the search functionality later

and yet no one

NO. ONE.

thought to tell it

"and don't save screens with the word 'password' on them."

YOU COULD DO THIS WITH GREP, YOU STUPID FUCKS, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?! IT'S NOT HARD!

And yet, here we are.

Oh, and that the average non-English speakers would tend to use 2-3 languages simultaneously

@joncruz yes but those are localisation issues which have been solved already for decades by a company the size of Microsoft, and I say that from experience of having been a dev there.

("grep" was hyperbole, not a serious suggestion. As I said, they're already using LLM shit upon which the entire feature depends. if their LLM can't find it to exclude it, then their LLM won't be able to find it to store it in plain text, either.)

While you're thinking about what to submit to the Call for Problems for the #ALTA2024 Shared Task (link below), we're sharing with you the 2nd-place winner of the #ALTA2023 Shared Task, where participants distinguished between #LLM-generated and human-generated text.

Here, Yunhao Fang of #UniMelb used #fineTuning and #EnsembleModels to achieve accuracy of 99%

This post by @maggie has some great ideas on how tech can help enable applications for regular folks. I've been wanting to do something similar within @agregore some day with local LLMs helping people author p2p web apps.

@mauve
I've yet to get a better response from a local LLM to a code question than I get from a web search or going to StackExchange etc. Are you finding good uses yet?

I confess I haven't tried too hard, but then most people won't and that's the point really anyway. 🤷‍♂️

I expect they should be good for accessibility, such as speech in/out but an not seeing those apps. Why not?! 🤦‍♂️

Although I see Mozilla have put a local LLM in Firefox to generate alt text for images.

@maggie nice reading. I'm a bit skeptical about LLM but you might be right 🤔 future will tell. As a dev, I'm glad to read non-techie people getting the point of local first app: you did well to introduce the concept

@mauve thanks for sharing

Pünktlich zur starten wir im VÖBB einen neuen, experimentellen Dienst: den VÖBB-Chatbot. Als meines Wissens erste (?) deutsche Bibliothek kombinieren wir hier Sprachtalent und "Wissen" eines Large Language Models () mit den vollständigen Metadaten unseres Kataloges (als sog. Embedding).

Question for my #softwareengineering friends:

I have a newly graduated SW Eng (BS in CS) who is struggling to find a job and getting advice to go back and get a Master’s Degree in #LLM in order to be more marketable.

I’ve always heard that grad degrees aren’t strictly necessary in SWE to start but is this changing? Are there other time investments that make more sense (open source contributions, certifications, personal projects, etc?)?

What #advice would you give a newly degreed #engineer?

CAI klärt jetzt auch auf Twitch über Cannabis auf. Er kennt sich mit dem Gesetz aus, kennt Risiken beim Umgang mit THC und informiert über Hanf im Allgemeinen und über verschiedene Sorten. Wusstest du dass CBD-haltiges Cannabis ohne THC keine psychischen Effekte hat, entspannend wirkt und beim einschlafen helfen kann?

Traut prinzipiell keiner KI. Die würfelt nur zufällige Wörter aneinander nach Regeln, die es wie Sprache aussehen lassen sollen.

Lasst Euch nicht verarschen!

Interesting analysis.

I can't imagine working without GenAI any more. I often write quick bash scripts to automate things, but for some reason, the syntax always falls out of my head and I'm constantly looking things up.

Now I just hit ChatGPT and ask it to write the script for me. With the latest version, is usually works perfectly the first time, so long as I craft a good prompt. This is a huge productivity boost.

With applications more abundant, have researchers been using them to assist their writing? We know they have when writing peer reviews [1], but how about doing so in writing their published papers?

Liang et al comes back to answer this question in [3]. They applied the same corpus-based methodology proposed in [2] on 950k papers published between 2020 to 2024, and the answer is a resounding YES, esp. in CS (up to 17.5%) (screenshot 1).
