Well, brains are a network of neurons (we can evidentially verify this) trained on … eyes, ears, sense of touch, taste, smell and balance (rewarded by endorphins released by the old brain on certain hardcoded stimuli). LLMs are a network of neurons trained on text and images (rewarded by producing text that mimics input text and some reasoning tests).

It’s not given that this results in the same way of dealing with language, given the wider set of input data for a human, but it’s not given that it doesn’t either.

They’re only introducing it to pets because it requires very few approvals compared to human consumption. Once it’s worked for a few years (assuming) and their production systems have ramped up, seeking human approval will be much easier.

Pet food is a stepping stone.

The article makes the valid argument that LLMs simply predict next letters based on training and query.

But is that actually true of latest models from OpenAI, Claude etc?

And even if it is true, what solid proof do we have that humans aren’t doing the same? I’ve met endless people who could waffle for hours without seeming to do any reasoning.

VPN to your home network (wg-easy is the easiest way to set this up) or change the public port of your server to something the work network will allow.

Yes I get your point. Some software can run without a large income stream, on a volunteer basis.

You’re using that fact to say that Firefox also can. And if you care to look at my profile you’ll see I’ve argued time and time again that Mozilla is an overblown organisation and should be slimmed down to a couple of hundred, working solely on the browser.

I doubt, however, that you can build a modern, up-to-date browser on a volunteer basis.

How many full-time people do you think it takes?

Each to their own; may I suggest our friend and saviour Google Chrome? 🤣

What do you want? A Mozilla with no income? Because then there is no libre browser.

Which should tell you a lot; if Mozilla wasn’t confident about their anonymisation efforts their lawyers would not have allowed checked-by-default.

Ask yourself this: Would you rather trust this data with Google or with Mozilla? Because if Mozilla needs income to maintain a libre alternative, they need to have a measured audience. Doing it in an anonymous way we can verify is better than letting Google and ad agencies do their level best to deanonymize you.

Be careful what you wish for. Firefox needs income and without audience for Firefox, Firefox is no more and then LibreWolf is no more.

I’m diehard on my older girls, who are now in the party age, that you do not take or post photos without consent and that you speak up against others taking photos of you. It’s such rotten behaviour and I dread to think of how much suckier my teens would have been if everyone had an amazing camera and a live connection to the internet. Fuck. That. Shit.

I know. But it’s wrong.

Chill; he’s probably not talking about you. He is talking about “your mom”. If you want her to use Firefox, it’s got to be simple.

Bah, that’s such a lame hot take.

Tonnes of things are really complicated to explain because they’re complicated.

You’re not wrong.

Whether you like it or not a lot of the internet relies on advertisement to work.

Some sites can introduce subscription fees and they can get out of it (I’d personally like that), some sites aren’t really sites but just optimising towards ad revenue (with all the shady practices that follow), but most produce valuable content for their users and rely on advertisement to sustain themselves.

So if we want to find a way to support that large center group, without enabling the crappy bottom tier, we have to make profiling safer. Well we don’t have to, we can dream of a safer, better world and try to bring it about by creating revolutions, but if we are practical, creating something that enables what the advertisement industry would like, without destroying what the users would like, is a far more realistic approach to making the world better.

Me too. If you think the Nordics is bad, don’t move move to the U.K. or US where I am. We can argue all day long about our experience of each system, but look at the Gini coefficient alone for some data.

WTAF are you talking about. On Lemmy, you’re either a communist or a billlionaire tooting nazi.

I’m in favour of a progressive tax on income, in favour of inheritance tax and in favour of a wealth tax. That doesn’t mean I think some people shouldn’t become rich from their efforts or that every wealthy person has gotten their by exploring the labour they employ (everybody else free to take that risk too).

I’d like my government and country run like the Nordics. Where I do fit in in your insane binary world?

As a stone-age person on Lemmy (47) allow me a response please.

First of all, I agree with you. Spent my 20s going through the motions thinking “maybe I just won’t meet someone I can bear to be with in the long term”.

And then I met her.

But in some respects she also met me at the right time. My assumptions about what I needed to help fix changed. My way of talking to women about their day, their challenges, their ambitions slowly morphed. So I don’t know if “she was perfect for me” or I had finally learnt how the differences between biological males and biological females drove how we communicated, what we needed and expected from each other, allowed me to finally commit to a long term relationship. We’ve been together for 17 years, married for 15. She drives me mad at times, and most days she wants to strangle me slowly, but despite all those small details, we also make each other laugh till we can’t breathe, we agree on almost everything (probably why the small disagreements become so “important”), we manage to parent four kids relatively well and when we finally find the time to have a day by ourselves, I am reminded why I fell in love with her.

I guess I’m trying to tell you that it might still happen to you too.

I used to have some old copy pasta for this on Reddit but I’ll be damn if I’m logging in to retrieve it.

So I’ll paraphrase:

Has the battery been made or is it a concept? Has the battery been made to the scale that the claim argues it can hit? What is the price? How many charge cycles? What’s the temperature range it can operate within? Can the battery fit into the existing production processes or will it require new tooling to productionize? Does the battery require any novel materials that aren’t available at scale yet or at the price that’s been assumed? Does the production of the battery have any bi-products that haven’t been handled industrially before? Will the battery require new safety approvals? Will the production require new safety training? What’s the size and the weight of the battery? What’s the charge and discharge rate? How does the temperate of the battery get affected by charging and discharging? Is the battery as safe under puncture and deformation as existing batteries? Can the battery be recycled as easily as existing batteries?

Etc etc

“China develops new battery” needs an answer to all these questions before anything meaningful has been developed. Until then it’s just a theory in a lab. For every 1000 things that work in a lab, one escapes and becomes a product you can buy in a store.

Lol. If you replace “with” with “wish” it should make more sense.
