not sure what you’re saying here. are you claiming it can’t do any sort of reasoning or open-ended problem solving?

i think we’re fairly confident now that they can do structured reasoning to some degree. it is not flawless in that it might not give you real or accurate information every time, but we are also figuring out the contexts behind that. as for spreading misinformation, anything intentional prompted to be incorrect is irrelevant to gauging intelligence. unintentional results don’t necessarily mean it’s unintelligent either.

there’s a really good document on this aspect as well.

there are a lot of ethical and technical aspects of LLMs that are severely underdeveloped, but that shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. i don’t think any of that would suggest that it’s reasonable to disregard the absurd pace of development this past decade, and last few years especially. good thing we have a sudden surge of attention towards developing these things.

More of an off and on hobbyist when I’m not busy trying to survive, so I’ve still got a lot to study. For the most part, I’ve been enthralled by the progress we are making in general understanding of neural functions. I feel like the more we learn in machine learning, the more we can deconstruct the mountain of data we’ve gathered about the brain this past couple decades. The more we understand that, the more we can intentionally apply or avoid in the development of neural nets.

From deconstructing the complex algorithms that allow brains and bodies to develop from a couple cells, to understanding the absurd organic mess that allows the tangle of processes that we use to comprehend our own consciousness. There are a lot of people who seem very excited about this problem from very different angles, I just hope they can cooperate more and argue less about how their method is the only viable method and everyone else is just wrong.

Like certain people’s dismissal of probabilistic models. I think it’s silly to argue that our brains definitely do not utilize such autoregressive functioning as a piece of the puzzle. I just think our brain has many different systems working in tandem.

Sometimes we just allow brain to push out words without much thought. We might have to backtrack and correct ourselves if the wrong words come out. We will often pre-empt information or calculations into our short term memory before choosing to speak. Sometimes we stop mid sentence to apply these processes. I still believe there is an element of stochastic word selection.

Yann Lecun has a really good model for developing an autonomous system, but I think he’s too eager to disregard how autoregressive models can be applied in a more complex system.

Regardless, everything everyone is working on right now is so exciting on every level. I can’t wait to see what else comes. Any advancement at any angle could have severe effects on our lives at this point. Our economy has to adapt without sacrificing all of the poor, and we already have to deal with people who can’t comprehend how basic LLMs aren’t sentient emotional beings.

Hopefully I can keep learning more about machine learning and neurology. I hope the Lemmy community can grow and we can see as much as there was on Reddit. Don’t know if anyone can set up a bot like “AI lover” on /r/machinelearningnews It was a nice feed of new and interesting papers. I just got tired of Reddit becoming progressively worse over time.

my old pair would do this every minute for a full quarter of the battery life. you could turn it off, but you had to turn a bunch of other stuff off as well. why is this even a feature on headphones? maybe say it once at the 25% mark or when first turned on around that range. making content unlistenable by repeating it every 60 seconds is not an idea anyone should ever have had.

I’m enjoying jerboa, but I would totally pay for the RiF premium experience. It kept me happy for so many years. Hope for both to succeed.

There should be more info on how all gambling is basically just a scam. What’s worse is gambling in sports video games.

How about setting up kids with gambling mechanics combined with an abusive market that uses proprietary development tools so that the developed skillsets by their child labour force are not usable in different environments?

Can anyone name the multi billion dollar child focused corporation that I’m referencing?

Spoilers, it’s Roblox.

Although the entire mobile market makes me believe we are doomed and the government will do absolutely nothing to control heavy investment in and use of manipulative practices. General citizens have no chance when their casual life moments are invisibly combative with multi billion dollar groups that do everything they can to get an advantage over peoples basic subconscious habits and lifestyles.

I see more people defending these practices than protesting them. All the while people are freaking out about the “evil” of AI art tools.

Gambling is just manipulation at this point. generally manipulating and taking advantage of people now is just “good business.”

I think it will be good for the current understanding of “art” to die. It’s a focus on ego while in an economy that only cares for pandering and selling out to those with money.

We need a new socio-economic system to balance all of the technological automation of the past half century, and quickly improving AI in the future.

With this, art will be ideas and preference. Deep thinkers will share the deep interactive virtual worlds that they find interesting or beautiful, and others can choose to view it or create their own more personal experience. Others will be like this guy and maybe get a habit for camping, who knows. None of it matters for most people until we can stop being wage slaves sacrificing their time and well-being to round off another dollar for the excessively wealthy.

Art will be fine. There will always be art with passion buried by mountains of pandering crap advertised by the rich, but a more egalitarian society might make more of a democratic platform for the Arts. Especially when good artists have the help of AI so they can compete with Disney/Warner money, and the labor it buys. Or compete with all the schlock/scam films encouraged by our current economy.

Tesla has always been hot garbage. Piggybacking over waymo with a product sold on hype rather than ability. Tesla fans are rabid though, so you don’t get far saying such things.

Regardless, every time an AI car improves, it improves forever. It is inevitable that general AI vehicles will be better than humans. However you’ll see big headlines every time one is involved in an incident, and a big push to shut it all down, because human drivers are just so amazing.

Not likely. Lots of those people in this area. Same type that spent the last few years yelling at random service employees for following COVID procedures. There’s been a couple recent defaced rainbow crosswalks as well. Remaining positive has been very difficult this past few years. Happy pride month.
