For dipping your toes into a new topic I think it’s perfectly fine. It helps to provide useful pointers for further “research” (in a sense that would meet your requirement) and also manages to provide mostly accurate overviews. But sure, to really dive into this, LLMs like ChatGPT and co. are just some low-level assistants at best and one should go through the material themselves.

Perplexity does a good job as LLM-search-engine-combo.

Yes. But if the machine has proven to work reliably it will usually do so for its lifetime, while humans are prone to e multitude of errors. Especially in the medical field.

I trust a good machine much more than any human.

That’s such a fucking stupid idea.

Care to elaborate why?

From my point of view I don’t see a problem with that. Or let’s say: the potential risks highly depend on the specific setup.

I see. If moving to another country, where you don’t have to suffer such conditions, is also not an option then I hope you’re looking for something else while you’re at your current job. These are no conditions anyone should suffer.

The idea of a world driven by robots empowered by AI methods, is really great. It gives freedom to everyone with almost no costs. Just doesn’t work so well with a capitalistic society as the one we currently have.

Such uses demand a non-capitalistic socio-economic system. Like some form of communism.

It’s easy to try on that pair of shoes. Those ignorants should go ahead and try building a community, try creating a video with some genuine effort regarding its content and - especially - edit it in an appealing way.

Heck, I was doing some Blender rendering for fun as a hobby and am occasionally recording some demo videos of a project I am working at for my supervisor. Sometimes it takes about two hours to edit a fucking 10 minute video. This is just a huge amount of work. No wonder any creator, who has reached a sufficient level of income, hires editors.

Meanwhile, I work in a straining job where I come home, my knees feel weak, my right ankle is aching like fuck, I am mentally drained, I barely can even put together a thought process that tells me I should even have breakfast while fighting the urge to sleep while I try to have a fraction of what constitutes as a life. As well as work in a place, where I am almost always on threat of being fired for something petty because my management feels they have to have a bone to pick with me by fucking around with me and being snarky while doing it.

Why the fuck are you doing that to yourself? Get another job. It sounds highly unhealthy where you’re currently at.

We don’t even have a clear definition of what “intelligence” even is. Yet a lot of people art claiming that they themselves are intelligent and AI models are not.

They have adapters. But yeah, would be nice to have a slot directly integrated.

That’s called victim blaming.

But yeah. I really hope people stop using Google products. Google is evil.

Any form of highly restricted communication prevents meaningful discussions as it’s incapable of of capturing the complexity of most topics.

That’s why I’ve never used Twitter and only forum-like platforms, like Lemmy now.

I know that words are tokenized in the vanilla transformer. But do GPT and similar LLMs still do that as well? I assumed they also tokenize on character/symbol level, possibly mixed up with additional abstraction down the chain.

“Let me know if you’d like help counting letters in any other fun words!”

Oh well, these newish calls for engagement sure take on ridiculous extents sometimes.

There are too many assholes in positions of power.

Reading comments of people who (hyper-) organize their games as if it’s a project to get through and they have to work off. And I’m sitting here just playing whatever the fuck I’m in the mood in.

I am not in IT security, but find it fascinating what clever tricks people use to break (into) stuff.

In a better world, we might use this energy for advancing humanity instead of looking how we can hurt each other. (Not saying the author is doing that, just lamenting that ITS is necessary due to hostile actors in this world. )

Ragebait?

I’m in robotics and find plenty of use for ML methods. Think of image classifiers, how do you want to approach that without oversimplified problem settings?
Or even in control or coordination problems, which can sometimes become NP-hard. Even though not optimal, ML methods are quite solid in learning patterns of highly dimensional NP hard problem settings, often outperforming hand-crafted conventional suboptimal solvers in computation effort vs solution quality analysis, especially outperforming (asymptotically) optimal solvers time-wise, even though not with optimal solutions (but “good enough” nevertheless). (Ok to be fair suboptimal solvers do that as well, but since ML methods can outperform these, I see it as an attractive middle-ground.)

Some AI researchers found it obvious as well, in terms of they’ve suspected it and had some indications. But it’s good to see more data on this to affirm this assessment.
