  • If only we could combine the two and get to 2^12... Sadly, this would require 12 thumbs.

    Ooh, actually you can get to 28 without worrying about those pesky tendon issues by putting your fingertips against your thumb instead of trying to extend your fingers... Hmmm... Maybe we can even go to 210 this way by incorporating knuckles. Might lose some time today figuring out more hand counting systems. I wonder if anything higher than 2^10 is possible...

  • The Turing test is flawed, because while it is supposed to test for intelligence it really just tests for a convincing fake. Depending on how you set it up I wouldn't be surprised if a modern LLM could pass it, at least some of the time. That doesn't mean they are intelligent, they aren't, but I don't think the Turing test is good justification.

    For me the only justification you need is that they predict one word (or even letter!) at a time. ChatGPT doesn't plan a whole sentence out in advance, it works token by token... The input to each prediction is just everything so far, up to the last word. When it starts writing "As..." it has no concept of the fact that it's going to write "...an AI A language model" until it gets through those words.

    Frankly, given that fact it's amazing that LLMs can be as powerful as they are. They don't check anything, think about their answer, or even consider how to phrase a sentence. Everything they do comes from predicting the next token... An incredible piece of technology, despite it's obvious flaws.

  • Writing boring shit is LLM dream stuff. Especially tedious corpo shit. I have to write letters and such a lot, it makes it so much easier having a machine that can summarise material and write it in dry corporate language in 10 seconds. I already have to proof read my own writing, and there's almost always 1 or 2 other approvers, so checking it for errors is no extra effort.

  • I mean if you don't like replacing gear for similar stuff with better stats I don't think looter shooters are for you haha! The story is pretty basic but I do enjoy the random dialogue you get when just flying about once you've unlocked HIVE

  • Why would the model be trained on outdated prices? I'm not talking about LLMs, but separate model designed to parse visual information - specifically websites - and extract particular elements like prices. My comment about ChataGPT was in reference to the newer models which can relay visual information, I'm not suggesting that would be the right approach for training a new model.

    The applications would be broader than just prices - this would allow you to scrape any human-readable website without needing to do bespoke development.

  • This kind of small scale optimization is not really the best use case for AI anyway. Considering the actual cost of running that kind of code at a large scale... I'm not convinced the savings are worth it even setting aside the petrol issue.

    AI doesn't need to be in the hands of consumers. It should be a step removed, working behind the scenes to make all those basic foods cheaper before you even go shopping. It should be optimizing supply chains, reducing production costs, and otherwise making us more efficient at a societal level.

    Which, well, in some cases it already is. Sadly many companies just use it to optimise their marketing 🙄

  • Which is one area ML models might (with the right investment) actually be useful. A model trained to look at web pages and relay information from the content visually like we do would be very powerful. The newer ChatGPT models have visual capabilities, I wonder if you could give it a website screen capture and ask it for prices.

  • Everything? That's pretty impressive. I wonder how many illegal things you could realistically pack into your day... There are many inefficient legal things involved in my day, it would be tricky to make them all illegal. If I steal a lot of stuff in advance maybe then using it becomes sort of illegal? Tricky.

  • I wasn't really considering the flag smashers, honestly, they didn't leave much of an impact. I was thinking more about Sam & Bucky's separate personal struggles - Sam with becoming a black Captain America, and Bucky with making amends. To me the real interesting conflict was not the one with the flag smashers - that just forms a standard comic-book backdrop to the more interesting look at America itself.

  • Personally I really liked the story it told pretty much throughout. It's a while since I saw it, but I remember enjoying the more serious tone & challenges. It was nice seeing issues that the characters didn't just have to punch haha.
