I don’t know, I mean if any corporation can eat the loss, it’s apple with their insanely high margins.

I’m more inclined to believe there’s some form of quid pro quo going on behind the scenes.

Besides, I simply cannot picture Tim Apple as any kind of a hero in this picture. No way he got bullied. He’s getting something out of it. You scratch my back. I’ll scratch yours.

All 6s users hey a warning you might be affected. They give you a link you have to follow to check. Load the page, you’re in your IMEI and it will confirm if you’re affected

Sorry, no LLM is ever going to spontaneously gain the abilities self-replicate. This is completely beyond the scope of generative AI.

This whole hype around AI and LLMs is ridiculous, not to mention completely unjustified. The appearance of a vast leap forward in this field is an illusion. They’re just linking more and more processor cores together, until a glorified chatbot can be made to appear intelligent. But this is struggling actual research and innovation in the field, instead turning the market into a costly, and destructive, arms race.

The current algorithms will never “be good enough to copy themselves”. No matter what a conman like Altman says.

Eh, no. The ability to generate text that mimics human working does not mean they are intelligent. And AI is a misnomer. It has been from the beginning. Now, from a technical perspective, sure, call em AI if you want. But using that as an excuse to skip right past the word “artificial” is disingenuous in the extreme.

On the other hand, the way the term AI is generally used technically would be called GAI, or General Artificial Intelligence, which does not exist (and may or may not ever exist).

Bottom line, a finely tuned statistical engine is not intelligent. And that’s all LLM or any other generative “AI” is at the end of the day. The lack of actual intelligence is evidenced by the way they create statements that are factually incorrect at such a high rate. So, if you use the most common definition for AI, no, LLMs absolutely are not AI.

🤣

Right, because only women are the problem, and men are paragons of virtue.

Fuck off

Wow.

Just…wow.

You honestly think that’s an argument?!?

Goodbye

No. You’re dodging the argument. You chose to phrase it that way. And pretending that’s just some incidental thing with no meaning honestly is about the dumbest response I’ve seen in a while.

You have made the argument that it is the American people, not the administration. You. Not anybody else.

That…what???

No, your choice of phrasing conveys your message.

If you’re argument is not against the American people, but rather the administration, then your wording is, well, wrong.

Ah. Guess the steam deck must still run X11? That’s currently my primary computer, so I haven’t had to learn about/deal with X11 vs Wayland quite just yet.

KDE has Gamma settings in the Display & Monitor area of system settings. So what you’re looking for is possible.

No, they did not use an algorithm to make the decisions. They are making the choices, but, being the feckless cowards they are, they’re actually trying to set it up so they can hide behind a fucking computer program.

Sigh …

Was trying to find info about a certain domain the other day - damn near impossible just cause all the results I could find was the same type of AI slop.

So many examples of this method failing I don’t even know where to start. Most visible, of course, was how that approach failed to stop Grok from “being woke” for like, a year or more.

Frankly, you sound like you’re talking straight out of your ass.

Umm. No. No offense, but that’s patently ridiculous.

A corporation chose a distasteful policy to avoid the possibility of losing profits due to negative press. There are no lives at risk. The only risk is “brr! line must go up”

To equate such morally detestable behavior to minimizing actual suffering and loss is bizarre and nonsensical at best. At worst, it’s nothing more than helping whitewash the vile and disgusting crimes of an apartheid warmongering regime.

There is no nuance here. They capitulated to genocidal bigotry to maximize profits.

Semantics. That’s what this seems to boil down to.

And, no, they did not “stay out of a conflict” by capitulating (in advance even) to Zionists’ apartheid views of the world.

Well, in practice, no.

Do you think any corporation is going to bother making a separate model for government contracts versus any other use? I mean, why would they. So unless you can pony up enough cash to compete with a lucrative government contract (and the fact none of us can is, on fact, the while point), the end result will involve these requirements being adopted by the overwhelming majority of generative AI available on the market.

So in reality, no, this absolutely will not be limited to models purchased by the feds. Frankly, I believe choosing to think otherwise to be dangerously naive.

I’m really confused. Do you think your theory is better?

I have a bad habit of being condescending myself, I appreciate the reminder.

Some time back I saw a blog post where the author was making the claim that the only possible way to deprogram someone who had been radicalized starts with compassion. Real, honest compassion for the person; which can be hard with the hateful ideals that are spread so freely these days! But he is right. Without compassion, whoever you are trying to communicate with has no honest reason to listen.

Anyway, thank you again for sharing your perspective!
