We were all worrying AI was going to murder us to save us from ourselves; turns out it's going to do it by literally burying us in CASM.

Asimov was wrong!

Not reading that dissertation

Dude, homeless is not the preferred nomenclature. Transient, please.

Awesome analogy.

To extend it: the moderators made sure the label matched the beer's flavor.

if it can’t reach deals with generative AI companies to pay for its data.

There's your problem, Reddit, you think it's your data.

I'm assume sex trafficking as that's the safe bet with his type these days.

Be ungovernable.

No one becomes an informant just because. Curious what illegal activities he was caught up in.

The ability to generate plausible language was a lack of compute power. The actual programs running the LLM is not complicate.

The model that is produced is complex.

Its training required compute power that was not previously available but the math/code behind these systems is not complex. They are resource intensive. There is a difference that a layperson often cannot comprehend.

Yes. I've used them. I have used it beyond the point of it hallucinating.

I am also a software engineer and have deeper understanding of how these systems work than your average user.

The software community tends to approach these things with more caution than the general population. The media overblows the capabilities of these systems.

A more concrete example is autonomous vehicles which were promised for decades and even now with a form of them on the road, they are still closer to remote controlled vehicles than the intelligent self contained systems we have been promised.

The difference between predictive text on a smart phone and predictive text of an LLM is my smart phone is predicting what I am likely to type next based on things i have typed in the past, while the LLM is predicting what comes next based on a larger body of work from source pulled from all across the internet. The LLM is then tuned by humans. This tuning step is under reported.

The LLM is unable to determine the truth of its own output. I would argue that is a key to claiming intelligence but determining what intelligence means is itself a philosophical question up for debate.

There is an inverse relationship between the intelligence of a person and their amazement at what these large language models can produce.

How to create a failed social media platform.

First start with a popular social media platform.

Then let Musk run it for a couple years.

Parlor trick is a perfect description.

People don't get that these things aren't anymore intelligent than their smartphones predicting the next word. The main difference is instead of a couple words it has thousands to choose from.

Half of the trick is how it uses the prompt to decided what words to start with.

Those of us that left don't give a shit.

Stop straddling the fence and the problem goes away.

Sounds like you're on Android but there are still options. I am no subject matter expert but there are many who are and they are just a quick duckduckgo search away. Good luck!

Forced? Not at all. Google happily complied.

Stop using Google products, people. There are alternatives for every service they offer. They haven't invented anything new in over a decade

A very quick internet search proves otherwise.

I am not sure you should speak on this topic if you're this ill informed.

Are you suggesting someone spent time carving this statue on a whim?

Doesn't help that the text size also draws the eye to the bottom first.
