this makes me so mad

it’s not a pacemaker though, it’s a hammer. and sometimes the head flies off a hammer and hits someone in the skull. but no one disputes the fact that hammers are essential tools.

you’re getting down voted because you accurately conceive of and treat LLMs the way they should be—as tools. the people down voting you do not have this perspective because the only perspective pushed to people outside of a technical career or research is “it’s artificial intelligence and it will revolutionize society but lol it hallucinates if you ask it stuff”. This is essentially propaganda because the real message should be “it’s an imperfect tool like all tools but boy will it make getting a lot of certain types of work done way more efficient so we can redistribute our own efforts to other tasks quicker and take advantage of LLMs advanced information processing capabilities”

tldr: people disagree about AI/LLMs because one group thinks about them like Dr. Know from the movie A.I. and the other thinks about them like a TI-86+ on steroids

i imagine this would be fun once when novel and then very irritating every other time

i don’t think people need to justify Airbnb’s, it’s a great alternative to a hotel for many reasons including those you listed. What needs to be addressed is the damage the shareholders who are running the company are doing to society. let’s not give them too much credit about this choice: they are still sucking up homes from homeowners and removing money from the middle class. they only made this change because someone realized it will make them more money.

if it’s anything like the other ai features they offer, it will be garbage and never work and slow everything down

this might be tricky, the overly detailed illustrations of messed up looking characters was a pretty common bit on the show

i took “touchable” to mean you could literally feel the shape with your senses, but it appears what they are saying is it’s a way to interact with it, via pass through in various ways, etc. still pretty cool though

there has been a flooding of these articles. everyone wants to sell their llm as “the smartest one closest to a real human” even though the entire concept of calling them AI is a marketing misnomer

anything that claims it “thinks” in any way I immediately dismiss as an advertisement of some sort. these models are doing very interesting things, but it is in no way “thinking” as a sentient mind does.

this is one of the most interesting things about Llms that i have ever read

the problem with my NORMAL smartphone is it is TOO MUCH SCREEN. the bezels are so narrow i cant even grip it like a normal object without triggering touches on the screen sides. all buttons have been stripped off for over a decade now and you cannot hold it from the back without glueing an object on the back of your case. i can only reach 50% of my samsung phone screen with my thumb while holding it with one hand, making it a two handed device most of the time already. why in THE WORLD would i want my phone screen BIGGER?? honestly, why? the only thing I can think of is long commutes on a bus? but you can bring tablets… 🤷‍♂️

this is not a bad point but it also feels a bit like moving the goal posts

Activated.

Reporting to rendezvous point.

you’re already giving way too much credit to these models. you dont even need emotion for sentience. an iguana is 100% more sentient than any LLM. life is defined as organic matter that reproduces. very far from an llm. “AI” is a misnomer that they don’t bother correcting because it makes it sound magical and lifelike. these models are not aware of the words they are generating. they do not know what word they just typed before the current one. they do not have any concept of thought or ideas as you or me do. they, simply, are not sentient. this would be required for any true “artificial intelligence” because our self awareness is a huge part of human intellect. LLM are tools, not minds.

If i know China, it’s the same as Bluetooth but with code tweaked enough to be distinct, while also funneling data into shady servers.

I loved irc 20 years ago…i have no clue how to get back into it. How do you even find a cool server in 2024??

Can i make a ufo out of this

Voices of the Void.

Oh, wait. It’s free right now??? Go get it!
