CEO of Google Says It Has No Solution for Its AI Providing Wildly Incorrect Information (futurism.com)

You know how Google’s new feature called AI Overviews is prone to spitting out wildly incorrect answers to search queries? In one instance, AI Overviews told a user to use glue on pizza to make sure the cheese won’t slide off (pssst…please don’t do this.)...

assassin_aragorn,

It’s going to be hilarious to see these companies eventually abandon Reddit because it’s giving them awful results, and then they’re completely fucked

assassin_aragorn,

Or you market it as a Tesla’s self driving mode

ChatGPT Answers Programming Questions Incorrectly 52% of the Time: Study (gizmodo.com)

The research from Purdue University, first spotted by news outlet Futurism, was presented earlier this month at the Computer-Human Interaction Conference in Hawaii and looked at 517 programming questions on Stack Overflow that were then fed to ChatGPT....

assassin_aragorn,

If it’s possible for AI to reach that level. We shouldn’t take for granted it’s possible.

I was really humbled when I learned that a cubic mm of human brain matter took over a petabyte to map. It suggests to me that AI is nowhere close to the level you’re describing.

assassin_aragorn,

Thanks for the detailed and thought provoking response. I stand corrected. I appreciate the depth you went into!

assassin_aragorn,

The leadership works behind closed doors to pressure the companies to give the unions what they want, judging from the rail workers.

assassin_aragorn,

The Dems are a right to far right party by any normal countries standard.

Except on social issues, but who cares about those? And they used to be left of European parties when it came to immigration, but they’ve recently moved closer to the xenophobic European position. Oh and they’re very clearly left of Labour now too.

By the way, would you like to clarify what you mean by “normal countries”? I’m assuming here that you meant European, since that’s generally what people mean, but it’s pretty fucked up to say that normal = European, don’t you think?

assassin_aragorn,

I remember in my orgo chemistry lab we were once running an experiment to add a single nitrate group to Toluene as part of a larger synthesis, and someone pointed out that if we left the reaction going too long, things could go boom.

assassin_aragorn,

…I think we did it on a hotplate.

Maybe we were using toluene as a solvent or something. It’s been quite a while.

assassin_aragorn,

Yeah that probably makes more sense. I think we were just using bog standard sulfuric acid and nitric acid.

assassin_aragorn,

Can they just shut the fuck up already and end their war? They’re just firing wildly and killing Palestinian civilians, hostage Israeli civilians, and even themselves! Occasionally they’re getting a member of Hamas.

Just fucking throw in the towel and take the L. Part of me this at this point that Netanyahu is partially prolonging the war because he wants Democrats to be divided and Trump to win so he has an even friendlier US.

Why do the good die young, and the evil live forever?

To quote 21 Savage on his song “Running”:

“Pussy. Pussy! Pussy!”

What a complete and total coward. She did do one good though – she showed that a sizable number of Republicans aren’t happy with Trump, and could be up for grabs in November or just might not vote at all.

assassin_aragorn,

I think what it comes down to is intention. Are you intending to mimic someone else’s likeness without that person’s permission? That’s wrong. But if you just like someone’s voice and want to use them, and they happen to have a similar likeness, that’s fine.

Where OpenAI gloriously fucked up is asking Johansson first. If they hadn’t, they would have plausible deniability that they just liked the voice actor’s voice. If it reminds them of Johansson, that’s even fine. What’s wrong is that they specifically wanted her likeness, even after she turned them down.

assassin_aragorn,

It should end up self regulating once AI is using AI material. That’s the downfall of the companies not bothering to put very clear identification of AI produced material. It’ll spiral into a hilarious mess.

assassin_aragorn,

You’re not supposed to blindly trust any of those. Why would FSD be an exception?

Because that’s how Elon (and by extension Tesla) market it. Full self driving. If they’re saying I can blindly trust their product, then I expect it to be safe to blindly trust it.

And if the fine print says I can’t blindly trust it, they need to be sued or put under legal pressure to change the term, because it’s incredibly misleading.

assassin_aragorn, (edited )

There really needs to be legal pressure for them to change the name. I don’t see how it’s not false advertising.

assassin_aragorn,

No, newborns rapidly take in new information and learn. “AI” is just a sophisticated text probability model. It doesn’t know anything. It isn’t learning how things work. It just regurgitates.

It’s like the difference between a student who understands the concepts versus memorizes the test answers.

assassin_aragorn,

They don’t mean anything in the real world.

Uh. They mean everything in the real world? You get sued for false advertising and fraud. Fox News got sued heavily for knowingly lying about voting machines. There’s a reason that companies have PR departments. Words matter a lot in the real world.

Are the drivers stupid? Sure. They believed the FSD claim after all. But that doesn’t mean Tesla is off the hook. Deceiving stupid people is still deceit.

assassin_aragorn,

Oh the engineers probably perfectly understood what was going on. But they don’t have the ability to correct Musk when he’s spewing bullshit.

Ethically speaking though they’re supposed to refuse signing off on the work and whistleblow the issues, so they aren’t free of guilt.

Right now at my work we have a gap in our safety analysis with a contractor’s product, and we’ve had to fight the VP to explain how we can’t just say “it’s their problem so we won’t deal with it” if its part of our product. One of my colleagues had to go up a head to inform the head of safety that we were having issues. It’s still an ongoing fight, but I cannot in good conscience allow the product to be finalized when we know there’s a safety issue that needs to be addressed.

Don’t get me wrong, it isn’t an easy thing to do, and I’m really grateful that my coworker is very steadfast on this. But engineers aren’t supposed to approve of any work they know is unsafe.

assassin_aragorn,

Unfortunately, companies also have to make their products safe for idiots. If the system is in beta or must be supervised, there should be inherently safe design that prevents situations like this from happening even if an idiot is at the wheel.

assassin_aragorn,

Because “easily win the election with no issues if they just listen to progressives” is not a known statement. We don’t know how it’ll work. If we knew that’d be the case, I’d be all for it. But right now on the West Coast, progressives are losing to Republicans in city district attorney races.

Does that mean progressives are guaranteed to lose nationally? Not at all. But it isn’t a given either way, and we shouldn’t pretend it is.

assassin_aragorn,

He’s never going to walk away from this beef and I love it. Certified lover boy, certified pedophile.

assassin_aragorn,

That honestly brings up more questions than it answers.

assassin_aragorn,

Pretty much. The intersection of gender and sexuality spectrum means romantic attraction, sexual attraction, and sexual interests can mix and match in a lot of ways.

Biden: what would Trump have done if the Capitol riots had been led by Black Americans? (www.theguardian.com)

Joe Biden has launched one of his most scathing attacks yet on Donald Trump’s record of racism, suggesting that the former US president would have acted differently to the January 6 2021 insurrection if was led by Black people....

assassin_aragorn, (edited )

I’d also like some sources, but I just find it highly unlikely that people who care about Palestine don’t care about all of the domestic brown Americans.

It certainly isn’t a happy choice to vote for Biden, but there’s absolutely no way I’m going to make any other choice. I remember how Trump harassed Muslims on Day 1. Harassment of all brown people, including murders and assaults, all rose under Trump. Voting for Biden is a vote to keep my extended ethnic community safe. And I intend to use that vote to pressure Biden into bitchslapping Netanyahu to stop genociding other brown people.

I can understand unhappy sentiment towards Biden. I can understand being reluctant to vote, and at this point, not wanting to vote for him. But I cannot understand “we will unseat Biden” sentiment. Someone who says that is no ally to brown Americans. Nor Palestinians, considering the wholehearted support Trump has for Netanyahu.
