You’d think they’d have moved on by now. Well. Oh well.

Yep they now get paid for the data we have them. I have no sympathy lol. At least these models can’t actually store it all losslessly by any stretch of the imagination. The compression factors would have to be like 100-200X+ anything we’ve ever been able to achieve before. The numbers don’t work out. The models do encode a lot though and some of it is going to include actual full text data etc but it’ll still be kinda fuzzy.

I think we do need ALL OPEN SOURCE. Not just for AI, but I know on that point I’m preaching to the choir here lol

They should. Maybe all the angry people here would go bliss out. Lol

What’s AI? Fuck what AI? Which one? What kind?

Lol this is a good one. I love my LLMs but this is it. The problem is most people don’t even think at all anyway. Most of the time I don’t either. If we’re honest with ourselves, we’re still just barely advanced apes.

I don’t get marketing. The more gets shoved the father I retreat and ignore. I’ll let em run on YouTube sometimes just so the advertiser has to pay out the fraction of a penny on a wasted ad. Actually, how about we do this!

Let’s build software that goes around watching ads constantly so it makes their numbers go all to hell.

Cool they should setup their own hidden services! 😂

The funny thing is we hallucinate all our answers too. I don’t know where these words are coming from and I am not reasoning about them other than construction of a grammatically correct sentence. Why did I type this? I don’t have a fucking clue. 😂

We map our meanings onto whatever words we see fit. If I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard a Republican call Obama a Marxist still blows my mind.

Thank you for saying something too. Better than I could do. I’ve been thinking about AI since I was a little kid. I’ve watched it go from at best some heuristic pathfinding in video games all the way to what we have now. Most people just weren’t ever paying attention. It’s been incredible to see that any of this was even possible.

I watched Two Minute Papers from back when he was mostly doing light transport simulation (raytracing). It’s incredible where we are, but baffling people can’t see the tech as separate from good old capitalism and the owner class. It just so happens it takes a fuckton of money to build stuff like this, especially at first. This is super early.

Just like us. Sometimes it’s better to have bullshit predictions than none.

We should understand that 99.9% of what wee say and think and believe is what feels good to us and we then rationalize using very faulty reasoning, and that’s only when really challenged! You know how I came up with these words? I hallucinated them. It’s just a guided hallucination. People with certain mental illnesses are less guided by their senses. We aren’t magic and I don’t get why it is so hard for humans to accept how any individual is nearly useless for figuring anything out. We have to work as agents too, so why do we expect an early days LLM to be perfect? It’s so odd to me. Computer is trying to understand our made up bullshit. A logic machine trying to comprehend bullshit. It is amazing it even appears to understand anything at all.

Uhm. Have you ever talked to a human being.

Arch and Android

Yeah I want my autonomous electric town car to be fully open. We should be able to have sustainable cars if any cars at all. Cars you can’t easily repair or maintain are not sustainable.

Don’t knock diapers till you try em tho

Bunch of pussies. I’ll give Trump credit. He actually experienced it, they didn’t.

It’s great if you can afford it. If you can afford to fly even a couple times a year you’re pretty privileged. I can’t, and I’m still privileged.

Or there are bigger fish to fry like coal power plants and wasted idle etc. shit Google’s AI search results are wasteful in some cases but I’ve found it to actually improve my experience but I use a mix of search engines. You can always use one without AI or turn it off. It’s being pushed into almost every search though which I really don’t think is useful, and it would be best if they cached the answers instead of regeneration on command. They may cache some though.

You Lemmy drones to are the same as the Reddit ones thinking they smart but no one here smart including me because I posted this comment

Yeah everyone like “AI content flood oh noooo, AI AI AI” yet very few mention this much much bigger issue of centralized algorithmically controlled walled gardens where everyone is. That’s kinda like WeChat in China. It is hard to have real democracy or freedom of information (or privacy of any sort) when only a few big corporations have the social networks all locked down. The bad thing is because of the social network effect it’s extremely hard to get people to switch even if the alternatives are even better! So much momentum. We need to find out a way to be able to help distribute users because the software isn’t the problem anymore and neither is infrastructure or any of the other stuff that is given the big guys advantage really. The biggest problem aside from the social network effect is monetization I suppose. Still, it’s hard to even start any kind of method of monetization for alternative platforms or decentralized platforms when you can’t get anybody to switch in the first place or can’t get critical mass.

The only way to beat time is via simulation. We do it all the time. Otherwise you couldn’t drive a car! You maybe “imagine” / “model” the environment / drivers, the physics, etc.

Without intelligence we are doomed because inaction. We had the technology but apathy and dental won, and now it’s a race against entropy/time.

Basically moonshot or die trying

And the new material science discoceries etc should really help. Given that DeepMind used GNoME to find 2.2 million new crystals, including 380,000 stable materials. That’s kinda a big deal. That was November of last year. Haha people have no idea how much this could help us. We fucked up but the light is shining and we need to run fast. I’m pretty sure, short this miraculous pace of discovery and compound returns, we will/would end up in a runaway climate feedback loop. IPCC has been throwing out their best models because they don’t like the implications that it is going faster than expected and the climate sensitivity may be worse than expected.

People think AI is gonna cook us? The sun would like to make a bet.
