Are you sure? Those seem like the only two options to me. Clearly the purpose of the article is to convince people to feed their children to the rich.
Seriously, I’ve seen an increase in these weirdly extremist comments recently. One would have to wonder if they are the ones serving another’s interests.
Is there a point to this? Back to the Future isn’t 2001: A Space Odyssey. It doesn’t have to predict everything.
Cars crash enough already for reasons spanning from shit driving to shit manufacturing. I don’t see the value in making them even more guaranteed to be lethal on failure, especially when innocent pedestrians and people’s roofs are downrange from these things.
“Social” isn’t part of the title. Meta is the company that acquired the site.
I also fail to see the ROI for buying a social media site for AI. There’s no advertising revenue to be made. At best you’re just charging a subscription fee.
why haven’t you bragged about using Arch yet?
Well Manjaro is Arch-based, but it feels like cheating to say that. Anyway, I used Manjaro, btw.
Hey even I use Linux daily.
Actually, I’m not really sure why “even I” should be shocking. I write code for a living. Surely I should be using Linux once in a while.
Anyway RHEL is probably the only Linux distro I can think of that costs money and comes with support. The major cloud providers sometimes have their own Linux distros they use as well (looking at you, Amazon) and you can argue they are selling Linux, but not as directly as RHEL does.
Red Hat.
The other distros? No idea.
It also affects subjects like atheism, as the various religious cultures generally do not want people contemplating the idea that there isn’t a god, especially not while they’re young, they want you long indoctrinated into belief before you can explore different ideas.
This reminds me of a Pakistani person I don’t personally know, but someone I know talks to them.
In their hometown, people recite verses from the Quran as part of their religious activities. There’s only one problem: the Quran they use is written in Arabic, but everyone there speaks Urdu. People don’t actually know what the passages say, just how to say them.
So this person asked them once what the passages say. Why do we read the passages in Arabic instead of Urdu? People here don’t know Arabic.
Anyway, he got belted shortly after that.
This contradicts, unsurprisingly, Trump telling Anthropic to go fuck itself and the subsequent deal with OpenAI.
In any case, my comment was being made in jest because Trump’s admin is no stranger to violating policies, procedures, laws, and human rights.
the Trump regime can use Claude to decide which schoolchildren to bomb
Not true in the slightest. Trump can’t use Claude to decide which schoolchildren he can bomb.
He can use ChatGPT to decide which schoolchildren he can bomb.
(Anthropic was taken out back for saying they only wanted to identify which schoolchildren are there and not tell them which ones to bomb.)
Windows has supported Xbox controllers for many years now, and even decades ago I was playing games off a floppy disk using a gamepad.
The optimizations were worthless because Windows is the problem and focusing on gaming won’t solve the underlying issues with the OS or the high-level issues with its direction.
No idea who told you this, but MS employees use Teams exclusively.
As for it being terrible, it’s unfortunately hard to find a competitor that does better with the same feature set (video/screen sharing/text channels/sso/tenants/etc). Many get close (like Slack) but none have the whole package.
Since the bottom of an article is usually the least visible, I’ll paste this here to make it more visible:
“The Copilot Discord channel has recently been targeted by spammers attempting to disrupt and overwhelm the space with harmful content not related to Copilot. Initially, this spam consisted of walls of text, so we added temporary filters for select terms to slow this activity. We have since made the decision to temporarily lock down the server while we work to implement stronger safeguards to protect users from this harmful spam and help ensure the server remains a safe, usable space for the community,” a Microsoft spokesperson told Windows Latest.
Microsoft added that blocking terms such as “Microslop,” along with other phrases in the spam campaign, was not intended as a permanent policy but a short-term mitigation while the company manages to put additional protections in place.
Whether it’s true or not that the policy was temporary, I guess we’ll see.
In some cases, it appears to be the opposite: CEOs want to do mass layoffs, so they blame AI rather than taking accountability themselves. The Amazon layoffs reek of this.
had people understood from the start the limitations of it, investment would’ve been more modest and cautious
People did understand from the start. Those who do the investing just didn’t listen, or they had a different motive. These days it’s impossible to tell which.
And by “people” I’m not referring to random people, but those who have been closer than most to the development of these models. There has been an unbelievable amount of research done on everything from the effectiveness of specific models in niche fields to the ability to use an LLM as the backend for a production service. Again, no amount of negative feedback going up the chain has made a difference in the direction, so that only leaves a few explanations on why the investment continues to be so high.
More complicated Tor, but super cool. It uses garlic routing rather than onion routing to further anonymize packets.
It’s worth reading into what it is (and especially those two terms) to get a better understanding.
Not exactly. Thinking models just inflate the context window to point the model closer to your target. GANs have two models which compete against each other, both training each other, with the goal of one (or both) of those models being improved over time.
This is unironically what I’ve seen people try to do, except they assume the second AI is correct.
Unrelated, but this is how GANs work to some extent. GANs train during the back-and-forth though, while LLMs do not.
Which outputs are accurate, and which ones are inaccurate? How could you tell? What steps did you take to verify accuracy? Was verifying it a manual process?
Shh you’ll pop the bubble if you start talking sensibly. It’s not an ASIC—it’s a specialized piece of hardware optimized to execute a model with unparalleled performance. Now buy my entire stock of them and all the supply for the next two years please.
(Figuring out the compose combination for an emdash took longer than I’d like to admit lol)
By extremist, I was referring to the absurdity of the statement. Either it’s the end of the world, or the article authors are conspirators. Surely it can’t be something simple that isn’t on one end of a spectrum. This is what leads to radicalization.
They are both. An extremism can be real. A conspiracy can be proven true, and in your example it is.
There is no evidence, nor reason to believe, the authors of the article in question are conspirators. There is no reason to believe the contents of the article are intended to be anything more than informational, even if with the inherent bias all authors posess. To perceive it as such would be a sign of extreme radicalization or, as you put it, an “online influence campaign” which would be conveniently set before a midterm election in the US.
To be clear, I’m not suggesting the commenter actually is part of some campaign. I wouldn’t know. I do believe its contents are extreme though.
