In any case, it is beside the point. Humans have libraries and dolphins do not, therefore humans have a higher class of intelligence. But it still is an intelligence founded on a NON-VERBAL foundation.
@cherold@MattMerk or maybe I’ve defined it over and over and refuse to do it at every smoothbrain cracker’s request. You people get so offended when you don’t get what you want when you want it
The person adding an LLM that tells people to put glue in their pizza and the person who adds four paragraphs to their article for PageRank reasons are not doing different things.
It’s not like one is a problem and the other not. They’re not even different kinds of problem. They are doing THE. SAME. THING.
When you distort your content for SEO purposes (or create it in the first place for SEO purposes), just like people pushing LLMs, you are destroying and/or obfuscating real information.
I have a theory that the men who reply to posts with some version of "not all men" do so because they see some of themselves in whatever statement was made and they don't like it.
This is such a dastardly trap because every man who sees this wants to reply with some version of ‘not me’ as a joke. Not me though, I’m different. Not like those other men. Oh no…….
@decryption this reminds me that I really need to do an eBay dump of the impulse buy cupboard. The thought of having to reset things, package things, and then deal with eBay people has me considering pretending the cupboard doesn’t exist for another 6 months though…
@lain@kaia@naaksit@night carrier is part of a forum of cranks that use it to explain anything without engaging with people with physical evidence for things
@apicultor what I mean is that if the goal is to get around bitflips and bitrot and write wear issues with ZFS, the correction itself will cause more write wear.
it's better than not using ZFS, but it accelerates the overall inevitability of complete failure.
@gsuberland and, in the case of the RasPi, get flogged to death with constant tiny writes because they’re using a filesystem designed for spinning platters of rust
Not enough people realize that the "Turing Test" as originally presented was "can a gay English man in 1945 tell the difference between a chatbot and a femme-coded woman" over a teletype connection.
(Turing was very gay and had a sex-segregated education and then work life: he basically didn't know women and his alienation is palpable. But today's techbros don't have any such excuse, and the emphasis on femme-coded AI is ... telling.) https://mastodon.xyz/@pmorinerie/112506480363973206
@cstross I'm reading Echopraxia by Peter Watts and one of his characters talks about the role of pareidolia (or something like it) in the creation of organized religion. I'm seeing a lot of parallels with generative AI and the Turing test.
@PeterLudemann Reflection upon past mistakes is almost certainly part of learning. But, it assumes mistakes. If you never make mistakes at all, maybe that's admirable, but it doesn't sound like much growth going on either.
