Wow you really showed them 👏 They’re in your blocked users list 😮

Lemmings are proud of their little echo chambers and love to announce it to the world when they blocked someone. That’s why we get insanely violent and hateful takes so regularly here. Many here often whine about popular social media, but this place is in some respects far worse. I’d say 10% are full-on psychopaths.

Not really. Chinese room has the conclusion pre-fabricated and tries to construct any sort of pseudo-scientific, fantastical philosophical dressing for some shred of legitimacy. It has absolutely no relation to the real world.

Neurons firing really synchronized = emotions lul

The only reasonable take in this thread is getting downvoted. Lemmy is so over.

Have fun being robbed, raped, and killed without police 🙄

Lemmy is at a particularly extreme level of violence endorsement. If the people on here said the things that they usually say in public, in actual society and not their little bubble, they’d be rightfully locked up.

It’s always the same with you. Here is an interesting – perhaps shocking – fact: People can dislike both the Ellison takeover and the Alex Kurtzman creative era. There’s no sort of contradiction here. I don’t like Kurtzman because the Star Trek he was involved in was mostly trash, in my opinion. That doesn’t mean that I am happy about MAGA infiltration at Paramount, and I assume that it is the same for the other commenter.

If I were her attorney I’d push to have her sentence commuted to life without parol …

That’s exactly what her attorney is asking for.

The thing is, AI companies are terrified of model collapse because if they train AI systems on AI output, the model becomes useless.

That’s actually not a fact, more of a possibility. As far as am I aware, reinforcement learning from AI feedback (RLAIF) is currently employed by some of the most capable frontier AI companies; Anthropic openly admits to it, and their models are arguably the best.

A term that is often thrown around nowadays is recursive self-improvement (RSI), and it seems that there are at this time more knowledgeable proponents of RSI for intelligence development than opponents who raise the risk of model collapse.

But yes, training on today’s sloppified public internet would probably only have downsides.

Google is not at fault for search becoming so terrible. Everyone who engaged in SEO is. The internet would have sloppified much sooner if Google and other search engines had not relentlessly pushed back against SEO and continuously modified their algorithms. Lots of people definitely underestimate the extreme negative impact of SEO, and the lengths that search engine operators have to go to to have their service be at least somewhat useful. As soon as you have a search algorithm, people will attempt to manipulate it.

This overstates the findings by a lot, and borders on misinformation.

How AI use relates to student performance is complex, varying with how students use it and what for. PISA data show that students who use AI for specific schoolwork tasks, such as summarising texts, drafting or conducting research, attain lower scores in science than students who do not use AI. In these scenarios, students who do not use AI outperform those who do, on average, by around 20 points – equivalent to being around one year of schooling ahead of their peers. However, weekly users of AI for general purposes have similar performance outcomes to non-users. Students who regularly use AI for general purposes, and have learning opportunities at school to develop AI literacy skills, tend to have slightly higher scores in science. However, these opportunities are more common among socio-economically advantaged students, risking a growing AI divide.

Edit: I concede that “heavily use” exonerates you, but your comment still feels a little disingenuous to me.

That is simply counter-factual. LLMs can absolutely do things that have not been published before, and they can access knowledge that is not in their training data through RAG. Intelligence is debatable, but reasoning models can reliably imitate “thinking” to a degree, and recursive self-improvement might lead to an autonomous advancement of intelligence. That LLMs allegedly “only regurgitate information” is simply wrong.

I’d hope that they will stick to non-retroactivity for new laws and rulings on AI, or else the world will have a giant mess on its hands. But I have the feeling that we’re moving towards an eventual, enduring weakening of copyright law, which is totally fine by me. Copyright has done more harm than good to the world (imo).

Calling for the murder of other people in a public forum is never wise. At best, you could (should) be permanently banned. At worst, police could show up at your house and lock you away forever (the world would be better place for it!).

I guess someone’s Wildberries delivery was cancelled 🤭

Wtf? Lemmy has absolutely lost the plot if you start calling the EFF “libertarian tech bros”. Some of you tankies are so far removed from reality that it sometimes feels like I am in a psych ward when I read these comments. Shame on you, really. The people at EFF have done more for the betterment of humanity than all of you combined, and more than you ever will.

Of course, ultimately all of DNS is controled by ICANN, a US orga. Trump could effectively shut down the whole internet, we’d have to revert to numerical IPs. A scary thought.

I understand the sentiment but that is not effectively possible. It is not ICANN that de facto controls domain name resolution, it is the name servers that are spread around the world. A supranational organisation such as the European Union, or countries like Russia and China, can have their DNS servers continue to resolve domain names to the correct IP addresses regardless of what decisions ICANN or other TLD ownership entities make.

You lost all reasonable people at “acab’s”. No one will ever meaningfully rally behind your movement as long as you spread braindead takes like these. It’s poisonous for the left to be affiliated with you.

Just a little fun fact: POSIX does not specify any standard filesystem directories in the way that the FreeDesktop Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) does for Linux and Unix-likes. MacOS remains a fully POSIX-certified Unix system.
