A what?

Pbf has some real bangers

I'm playing DS2 now. This series is great! The only games like it are indie games, simulation affair. It's truly unique in the AAA space.

I wonder if this actually happened to someone or this is the a case of armchair survivalism.

It is? I'd like to read about that

It just looked a lot like an AI image classifier.

I don't expect current ai are really configured in such a way that they suffer or exhibit more than rudimentary self awareness. But, it'd be very unfortunate to be a sentient, conscious ai in the near future, and to be denied fundinental rights because your thinking is done "on silicone" rather than on meat.

Do you mean conventional software? Typically software doesn't exhibit emergent properties and operates within the expected parameters. Machine learning and statistically driven software can produce novel results, but typically that is expected. They are designed to behave that way.

Really? I mean, it's melodramatic, but if you went throughout time and asked writers and intellectuals if a machine could write poetry, solve mathmatical equations, and radicalize people effectively t enough to cause a minor mental health crisis, I think they'd be pretty surprised.

LLMs do expose something about intelligence, which is that much of what we recognize as intelligence and reason can be distilled from sufficiently large quantities of natural language. Not perfectly, but isn't it just the slightest bit revealing?

A child may hallucinate, lie, misunderstand, etc, but we wouldn't say the foundations of a complete adult are not there, and we wouldn't assess the child as not conscious. I'm not saying that LLMs are conscious because they say so (they can be made to say anything), but rather that it's difficult to be confident that humans possess some special spice of consciousness that LLMs do not, because we can also be convinced to say anything.

LLMs can reason (somewhat unreliably) with a fraction of a human brains compute power while running on hardware that was made for graphics processing. Maybe they are conscious, but only in some pathetically small way, which will only become evident when they scale up, like a child.

I don't believe that consciousness strictly exist. Probably, the phenomenon emerges from something like the attention schema. Ai exposes, I think, the uncomfortable fact that intelligence does not require a soul. That we evolved it, like legs with which to walk, and just as easily as robots can be made to walk, they can be made to think.

Are current LLMs as intelligent as a human? Not any LLM I've seen, but give it 100 trillion parameters instead of 2 trillion and maybe.

Why can't complex algorithms be conscious? In fact, ai can be directed to reason about themselves, context can be made to be persistent, and we can measure activation parameters showing that they are doing so.

I'm sort of playing devil's advocate here, but, "Consciousness requires contemplation of self. Which requires the ability to contemplate." Is subjective, and nearly any ai model, even rudimentary ones, are capable of insisting that they contemplate themselves.

I'm in my 30s and I just listened to this book for the first time last year. These are excellent adventure stories!

The lead art director of marathon has followed her since before the game began development and he still stole her shit wholesale. Disgusting.

Once they finally lock down the player so it's impossible to block or skip ads, I look forward to coding a script which screen records each video on my sub list, feeds each video with ads into a purpose made classifier model which labels the ads, stitches out of ads with FFmpeg, and then uploads them to my jellyfin server.

Hell yeah! (Edit, about the haka, 😅😅😅 not the punishment)

You reminded me of a distant memory of a sad Garfield comic.

Yeah, it came out of left field, but it's an Indy webcomic. It's his singular expression and ip. Why should the audience a) feel so entitled to react in such an invasive and insensitive way, b) react with anger instead of empathy? It's just childish.

Oh I understand why people didn't like it. It just feels to utterly entitled and unempathetic to react in the way his audience did. It's an Indy webcomic, not a professional newspaper strip. And even if it were, it wouldn't be the first time that a comedy comics artist injected some personal drama or statement.

I mean, i loved Garfield growing up, and if I'd seen that strip you've described, I wouldn't react with anger. I'd be saddened. I'd realize that the author is speaking directly to me about his own fears, his own anxiety.

I've never understood all the hate levied at 'loss'. Can you imagine experiencing a miscarriage, building a popular web comic, and then integrating your own experience into it, showing one of your most vulnerable moments, and then it becomes a ruthlessly mocked meme?
