It’s sad probably 90% of this stuff won’t make it back to it’s original owner. Who’s still got serial numbers or receipts for something they bought in 2014? Most people will have moved on or had insurance replacements already

Just useful enough to become incredibly dangerous to anyone who doesn’t know what they’re doing. Isn’t it great?

Brazil’s approach for fostering innovation and technology is to tax all outside tech at 100%, even though no local industry for the products even exists. I don’t have high expectations for them investing in scientific publishing.

I’ve had the audio desync in cutscenes after leaving a game open in sleep for a week or two. I think it’s an issue with how the game timers work. If they’re counting since the game started, any slightly inaccuracy will become more obvious as the game is left open, regardless of sleep.

It’s a little like comparing a top of the line gaming laptop to a middle of the road efficient laptop. Sure the games will run a bit better on the powerful laptop, but you’re trading that for battery life. The Steam Deck is insanely efficient, and they made a few hard tradeoffs like the 1280x800 display resolution (which is great for battery, and honestly plenty sharp for the screen size).

I’m still a little blown away it runs Balder’s Gate 3 and Cyberlunk 2077 at all.

I think they’re being more literal. All the latest open source AI models get posted on Hugging Face.

Basically every car says not to wash in direct sunlight. From my understanding it’s because you’ll end up with water spots and other residue from the soap drying on to the paint before you can rinse it off.

xthexder, to technology in "I lost trust": Why the OpenAI team in charge of safeguarding humanity imploded

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.

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.

@xthexder@l.sw0.com avatar

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.

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.

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

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.

@xthexder@l.sw0.com avatar

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.
