  • Chatbots Make Terrible Doctors, New Study Finds

  • They're talking more about Expert Systems or Inference Engines, which were some of the earlier forms of applications used in AI research. In terms of software development, they are closer to databases than traditional software. That is, the system is built up by defining a repository of base facts and logical relationships, and the engine can use that to return answers to questions based on formal logic.

    So they are bringing this up as a good use-case for AI because it has been quite successful. The thing is that it is generally best implemented for specific domains to make it easier for experts to access information that they can properly assess. The "one tool for everything in the hands of everybody" is naturally going to be a poor path forward, but that's what modern LLMs are trying to be (at least, as far as investors are concerned).

  • Do you think that everyone have a "mask" that they use to show a different "self" to different people and that hides their true self, a truth they don't even show to their closest friends/family?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I like to think of out more as a spotlight than a mask. You're choosing which aspects of yourself to draw attention to rather than hiding yourself behind a persona.

    That is, unless we're talking about the masking that neurodivergent people talk about wherein they put conscious effort into hiding their essential nature in order to fit in.

  • To be more clear about what they mean, "immaculate conception" refers to Mary being born without original sin and continuing to be free from sin throughout life. This allowed her to be a worthy mother to bring God's child into the world. This is generally only a tenet of Catholic teaching, and most other denominations reject the notion.

    The term for a woman becoming pregnant without sex is "spontaneous conception," and it does rarely occur in some animals when they are isolated from males of their species. Though in those situations, the offspring are exclusively female as the female only has X chromosomes to pass on.

  • OpenAI says dead teen violated TOS when he used ChatGPT to plan suicide

  • In the court document, it lays out how OpenAI developed the latest model to prioritize engagement. In this case, they had a system that was consistently flagging his conversations as high risk for harm, but it didn't have any safeguards to actually end the conversation like it does when requested to generate copyrighted material.

    The complaint is ultimately saying that OpenAI should have implemented safeguards to stop the conversation when the system determined that it was high risk rather than allowing it to continue to give responses from the large language model.

  • How can you tell if music is AI-generated?

    Jump

  • Humans have made a lot of shitty, uninspired music as well. So it could mean that AI-generated slop is indistinguishable from human-made slop, in which case, it would still be bad music.

  • I had an English teacher in middle school who named her son Sean, pronounced like "seen," and she always complain about how people always pronounced it like "Shawn."

    Personally, I think it's a tad rude to name your child with an uncommon spelling as it's just setting then up for a lifetime of minor annoyances. But to use a fairly common variant and insist on a non-standard pronunciation is far worse.

    Is it normal not to care about anyone?

    Jump

  • This would be called Emotional Detachment or Emotional Blunting. It is associated with several mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, and schizophrenia, and it can be developed as a coping mechanism for a stressful or abusive childhood or past. It can also develop as a side effect for some medications, so it could be worth looking into a change in prescriptions if you think that could be relevant.

    That is to say, it is an abnormal mental state, but you are not unique in this mindset. You should strongly consider reaching out to a mental health professional to see if you can work on this as it is likely to lead to more isolation and a worsening of your overall well-being.

  • FYI, it looks like that story about the paws is false.

    The truth behind it is that there was a furry that somehow got severe frostbite when they fell asleep while icing their hands to deal with arthritis pain. After that, friends made a post trying to raise money for their medical bills, and they jokingly commented about getting him new paws. And that apparently spread elsewhere as "a furry amputated their hands to get paws."

  • Meet the water sommeliers: they believe H₂O can rival wine – but would you pay £19 a bottle?

  • Here in the US, the typical flow is that you'll be seated at the table with menus, and then the waiter will leave to get some waters. When they return and fill your glasses, they'll ask if you want to order any drinks, and regardless of whether you order anything besides water, they'll ensure that your glass of water is never empty.

    However, I think California passed a law to require restaurants to only provide water when asked, but that might only be when there's a drought and a need to conserve potable water supplies.

  • She wasn't saying that water was spontaneously boiling in this chamber. She was saying that they were in a space-equivalent chamber with a pressure such that water would spontaneously boil. If you found yourself in the environment that is being simulated here (outer space), you would be able to observe water spontaneously boiling without the vacuum pumps.

  • They have performed a handful executions using nitrogen gas over the last few years in Mississippi and Alabama. From what I understand, the people have all shown signs of distress and oxygen hunger during the executions, and the autopsies show signs of distress.

    I think the pathologist that reviewed the first such execution had said that it would likely have gone better if a sedative were administered beforehand. However, I'm pretty sure that nitrogen hypoxia executions were being used because pharmaceutical companies were unwilling to provide medications for use in lethal injections, so that would likely extend to sedatives for use during executions. But in the absence of sedatives, the process is panic inducing, which causes people to resist inhaling the nitrogen, which in turn means that they are not exhaling as much carbon dioxide and thus experience the panic associated with suffocation.
