Let me try putting this a different way: The machine is picking the next best word / action / chess move to output based on its past experience of the world (i.e. it’s training data). It’s not just statistics, it’s making millions of learned connections between words, and through association they start to have meaning.

Is this not exactly what the human brain does itself? Humans just have the advantage of multiple senses and having a physical agent (a body) to interact with the world.

The problem that AI has is it’s got no basis in reality. It’s like a human talking about fantasy things like unicorns. We’ve only ever experienced them as descriptions and art created from those descriptions without any basis in reality.

Because hallucinations pretty much exactly describes what’s happening? All of your suggested terms are less descriptive of what the issue is.

The definition of hallucination:

A hallucination is a perception in the absence of an external stimulus.

In the case of generative AI, it’s generating output that doesn’t match it’s training data “stimulus”. Or in other words, false statements, or “facts” that don’t exist in reality.

I have adopted the philosophy that human brains might not be as special as we’ve thought, and that the untrained behavior emerging from LLMs and image generators is so similar to human behaviors that I can’t help but think of it as an underdeveloped and handicapped mind.

I hypothesis that a human brain, who’s only perception of the world is the training data force fed to it by a computer, would have all the same problems the LLMs do right now.

To put it another way… The line that determines what is sentient and not is getting blurrier and blurrier. LLMs have surpassed the Turing test a few years ago. We’re simulating the level of intelligence of a small animal today.

I don’t see any rust? That’s just the fingerprints that you can’t not get all over it.

If it’s the city that put that on, they might get you for vandalism or destruction of property, something like that. Those parking boots aren’t cheap.

As someone not subscribed to simpsonsshitposting, I really don’t care if it’s a repost. That community isn’t even on the same instance, so it’s a little like complaining if someone reposts from R*ddit.

If it’s someone else’s job to design things, then that’s a pretty terrible specification. But depending on your role, it’s common enough for there to be one person who designs and builds a feature like “User projects dashboard”, and the job is to decide what’s important based on the product. Especially with smaller companies.

GTA is filled with parody ads, which are actually fun content and not intended to make you buy something. The second they become real ads, you’ll have brands complaining about being displayed next to gun violence or prostitutes, and all the fun goes away.

There’s a reason there’s no real car brands in GTA, because none of them want to be associated with running down pedestrian and drive-bys

If you remember what battery powertools were like in early 2010s, it’s super obvious how far we’ve come. The higher end things like battery powered lawn mowers didn’t exist, and if you wanted real power, you needed a cord.

Classic Nintendo, making simple things like copying screenshots so complicated hacking your switch is a reasonable thing to do…

I guess everything I’ve been calling light rail fits into the suburban rail category. Multiple cities I’ve lived in are adding in “light rail” tracks between major centers

I wonder what the people/hour max is on something like a stadium entrance or hallway? I bet it’s insanely high. Definitely some safety concerns though with crushing or trampling

Sounds like you’re doing the job of a PM to me, but I guess that’s just confirming your point that titles aren’t comparable

And yet the AC still blows cold in my 2004 Honda that’s not ever had the AC serviced… Sad to hear Honda reliability is going downhill.

The keyfob is either just a credit card sized thing, or your phone. There is no fob.

The article says revenue near the end. I find that a little hard to believe though, unless they sold barely any of them.

xthexder,
@xthexder@l.sw0.com avatar

I think you’re confusing net income with net revenue. As far as I know, net revenue is just gross revenue minus discounts and refunds. All other expenses such as cost of materials are then subtracted after that to get net income (their actual profit).

Either way, revenue represents how much money they actually received from customers.

I believe that’s Mt St Helens erupting. Real footage from 1980 (though this gif is sped up).

That would definitely explain why it’s sped up if the source was a bunch of still images. I’ve seen other edits of it that look a little more like a real-time video.

Young women in Saudi Arabia sentenced to 11 years in prison by "anti-terrorism court" after being arrested for “her choice of clothing and support for women’s rights” (www.theguardian.com)

Saudi officials confirmed in a statement to the United Nations high commissioner for human rights that Manahel al-Otaibi was sentenced on 9 January for what the Saudi government called “terrorist offences”....

Logic and reasoning were never on the table unfortunately.

Rabbit R1 is Just an Android App (lemmy.world)

See, it turns out that the Rabbit R1 seems to run Android under the hood and the entire interface users interact with is powered by a single Android app. A tipster shared the Rabbit R1’s launcher APK with us, and with a bit of tinkering, we managed to install it on an Android phone, specifically a Pixel 6a....

Note that since it’s just an Android app, there is no purpose in selling this e-waste device other than increasing the price, since it does nothing you can’t already do on your phone.

I’m pretty sure that story was faked by putting a separate display in the shell of a pregnancy test. They don’t even have real displays usually, let alone a full reprogrammable microcontroller

I’d expect in most cars it’s as simple as pulling a fuse for the cellular radio. But depending on how the car is designed that might break other features like the infotainment or keyless entry. It’s hit or miss how any given car will react to things being unplugged.

I didn’t realize GrapheneOS is only supported on Pixel phones, so I can’t run it after all…
