Reddit is kinda dead it now

At least the more of us are loud the safer each of us are. So free Luigi and may the proles get a little something without society collapsing. Either way it's definitely a good show....

I've got an even better one. Do something more interesting, go make friends. Sex is boring and just something evolution tries to force upon us. Well ofc it'll work eventually but that's not the point. 😂

Personally right wing chicks are a no go for me so if you're not openly atheistic (at least in spirit) and socially progressive and futurist and mega smart super nerd into PhD level autism I probably won't even bother, it'll never work. I'm also not looking for company so...

Yep Imma stand back and watch it all go to absolute hell and I'll be pleased knowing they brought it on themselves.

Fuck. You.

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.

Can you help me with problems this complex? Idk maybe we could use it to help make things better. Just most people prompt like things I can't say because they aren't nice. Oh by the way. Can you do it right now for $0 please? Thanks!

Edit. Also need it done now. If you're reading this you were too slow.

Asking the chat models to have self-disccusion and use/simulate metacognition really seems to help. Play around with it. Often times I am deep in a chat and I learn from its mistakes, it kinda learns from my mistakes and feedback. It is all about working with and not against. Because at this time LLMs are just feed forward neural networks trained on supercomputer clusters. We really don't even know what they are capable of fully because it is so hard to quantify, especially when you don't really know what exactly has been learned.

Q-learning in language is also an interesting methodology I've been playing with. With an imagine generator for example though, you can just add (Q-learning quality) and you may get more interesting and quality results. Which itself is very interesting to me.

I've used LLMs a lot over the post couple years. Pro tip. Use it a lot and learn the models. Then they look much more intelligent as you the user becomes better. Obviously if you prompt "Write me a shell script to calculate the meaning of life, make my coffee, and scratch my nuts before 9AM" it will be a grave disappointment.

If you first design a ball fondling/scratching robot, use multiple instances of LLMs to help you plan it out, etc. then you may be impressed.

I think one of the biggest problems is that most people interacting with llms forget they are running on computers and that they are digital and not like us. You can't make assumptions like you can with humans. Usually even when you do that with us you just get stuff you didn't want because you weren't clear enough. We are horrible at instructions and this is something I hope AI will help us learn how to do better. Because ultimately bad instructions or incomplete information doesn't lead to being able to determine anything real. Computers are logic machines. If you tell a computer to go ride a bike at best it'll go out and do all the work to embody itself in a robot and buy a bike and ride it. Wait, you don't even know it did it though because you never specified for it to record the ride....

A very few of us are pretty good at giving computers clear instructions some of the time. Also though, I have found just forcing models to reason in context is powerful. You have to know to tell it to "use a drill down tree style approach to problem solving. Use reflection and discussion to explore and find the optimal solution to reasoning through the problem." Might still give you bad results. That is why you have to experiment. It is a lot of fun if you really just let your thoughts run wild. It takes a lot of creative thinking right now to really get the most out of these models. They should all be 110% open source and free for all. BTW Gemini 1.5 and Claude and Llama 3.1 are all great, nd Llama you can run locally or on a rented GPU VM. OpenAI I'm on the fence about but given who all is involved over there I wouldn't say I would trust them. Especially since they want to do a regulatory capture.

Mostly true before, now 99.99%. The charades are so silly because obviously as a worker all I care about is how much I get paid. That's it.

All the company organization will care about. Is that work gets done to their standards or above and at the absolute lowest price possible.

So my interests are diametrically opposed to their interests because my interest is to work as little as possible for as much money as possible. Their goal is to get as much work out of me as possible for as little money as possible. We could just be honest about it and stop the stupid games. I don't give a shit about my employer anymore than they give a shit about me. If I care about the work that just means I'm that much more pissed they're relying on my good will towards people who use their products and or services.
