Tech is different because people / regulators don't largely understand tech, lots of people praise "moving fast and breaking things" and folks like Elone hand wave over things like bills and pat themselves on the back for being "innovators".

If more people understood that folks like Elone aren't "business geniuses" any more than criminals already are.

In fairness, AI is a buzzword that came out well before LLMs. It's used to mean "tHe cOmpUtER cAn tHink!". We play against "AI" in games all the time, but they arent AI as we know it today.

ML (machine learning) is a more accurate descriptor but blah doesn't have the same pizzazz as AI does.

The larger issue is that innovation is sometimes done for innovation's sake. Profits gets mixed up there and a board has to show profits to shareholders and then you get VCs trying to "productize" and monetize everything.

What's more is there are only a handful of players in the AI space, but because they are giving API access to other companies, those companies are building more and more sketchy uses of that tech.

It wouldn't be a huge deal if LLMs trained on copywritten material and then gave the service away for free. As it stands, some LLMs are churning out work that could be protected under copywrite law by humans (AI work can't be copywritten under US law), and turning a profit.

I don't think "it was AI" will hold up in court though. May need to do some more innovation.

Also there are some LLMs being trained on public domain info, to avoid copywrite problems. But works go into the public domain after 70 years past the copywrite holder's death (disney being the biggest extender of that rule), so your AI will be a tad out dated in it's "knowledge".

Elone will surely pay content creators. He just doesn't like to pay anyone else.

No easier way to find yourself closer to god than with TempleOS.

This isn't a perfect example but consider you feed a program all of the books ever written. The program parses these books and keeps track of how often one word correlates with another word, based on the frequency that the word appears along the other words.

Now store all that data into a huge (35gb) file. This file isn't human readible, it's just sort of a large table of all of these word correlations. Install this program with its large language model (the 35gb file generated from parsing all the books) on a system or systems capable of doing lots of math fast. Something like a high end GPU.

Now, as a user, send a series of words to the program. The program will look at the words you have written and come up with words that correlate to what you have written and what the bot has already written.

"Correlate" isn't really the best term to use here, but statistics are done based on surrounding words. The program still acts like a program, just predicting the next word using statistics found in the LLM. The program doesn't know how to do math, or write code, but it can have very convincing discussions on both, or anything really.

The extra mass around his face increases the density of his brain.

Where there's a will, there's a way.

Why not set up a full instance and make it invite only?

Comedy = tragedy + time - class.

Taint bad advice.

Is a lamp more of a woman or a man..? Do I have a masculine microwave? How married is mrs Butterworth?

Elone invented writing words on the internet. If you write words on the internet you owe Elone a royalty payment of $8 a month.

Good that you know your self in that case. Not all bodies react the same way. I know folks who can't get high from smoking but do from edibles, and vice versa.

That's awesome! I am curious, do you have a background in tech at all? The fediverse shouldn't be that hard of a concept for people to grasp but in my experience with people my age (42) and younger few seem to get it.

Fantastic!
