Watched a video of Gigantiops destructor (the ant with the best eyesight of ants) A lone ant hunting makes a point of sneaking up on the prey from behind, circling them to stay clear of their antennae and out of range of their eyes.

Can that be done without a "theory of the mind of the other" ?

"It can see me here, it can't see me there?"

Were this a mammal I bet people would call this evidence sufficient. Since ants are so tiny, & have such tiny brains we look for other explanations.

Cowardace more describes it. THey've gotten all they can so have nothing to lose by pointing out the guy they were glomming off of is garbage.

It's why I hate when people will wait til the tell all book instead of, y'know, not being a spineless yes man.

Because spineless fucks are how we got in this mess.

So I discovered that Someone Who Shall Not Be Named has been using a proper password manager on their iPhone, but hasn’t figured out how to sync passwords to their Windows PC.

So they send passwords to themselves from their phone to their PC…

…using Discord.

They’re using Discord to transport passwords in plaintext because they haven’t figured out how to sync passwords across the devices, and they don’t want to type each letter in.

I…I can’t.

I can’t.

    @davidho Agreed. Sending more unskilled volunteers is just putting more bodies in an already cramped situation.

    Send money for the industrial-scale relief efforts to happen.

    The want to help means a lot, but this is the best way to help.

    Your reminder that I've written a book on the business risks of generative AI. "The Intelligence Illusion"

    https://illusion.baldurbjarnason.com/

    Stuff I cover (not exhaustive):

    • AGI is not happening any time soon.
    • AGI and anthropomorphism will cripple your ability to think clearly about AI
    • The AI industry has a long history of snake oil and fraud
    • These models copy more than you think
    • Hallucinations are still a thing and aren't going away.
    • AI "reasoning" is quite broken
    • Security is a shit show

    @singletona@bitbang.social avatar

    @baldur As someone who is deeply interested in AI and can see a massive potential for a net good in development of a more intelligent system as an aid to people?

    AI especially in the space of art generation and chatGPT style linguistic modeling AI.... is a mirage that carnival barkers are trying to sell as the real thing.

    Pretty much my use right there. I like gemini for what it is and while my own postings are nfrequent? They're there.

    I both get the annoyance that 'oh it doesn't have x y and z features' but also I get and agree with why those features don't exist. A line had to be drawn somewhere, and if you move that line once it will be tempted to move again, and again, and then we're back at the web.
