Everything he says the just the 'pump' on phase.

The oldest political playbook in defaming your enemy: They are at the same time very scary and also entirely helpless.

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Are you saying that openai and other American ai companies aren't both scary and lobby to prevent legal roadblocks?

Are you pro "AI"?

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 1 points 40 minutes ago

In that comic, world governments would be simultaneously all powerful and helpless for AI companies. The author (presumably) doesn’t agree with AI companies that they both cannot be stopped and will be destroyed by the slightest legislation.

I’m all for huffing my own farts but this is next level

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 38 points 4 hours ago

Trust me, bro...we're this close. Give us a little more money bro, and for sure, it's gonna happen. Don't give up now, bro. C'mon bro...just a little more money, bro.

Nobody familiar with what an LLM actually is thinks it’s intelligent, you can also see the diminishing returns as they continue the same route

All this shit is just marketing from these jokers

Nobody familiar with what an LLM actually is thinks it’s intelligent

Even the most experienced professionals are still vulnerable to AI psychosis. The issue isn't whether an LLM is intelligent, it's whether a human perceives the LLM as intelligent. And, for better or worse, humans love to personify non-humans.

My brother-in-law does work in AI. He names all his models. He talks about them like their his children. Push come to shove, he'll tell you "they're not intelligent". But I've seen him cry over one, because the firm he was working for had to cut back his resources and he ended up needing to shelve it indefinitely.

How I thought reality would play out once AI became a thing:

Gamers: "Oh my god, the AI is alive!"
Tech bros: "It's just a machine!"

How reality is really playing out:

Tech Bros: " OMG, the AI is better than a human!"
Gamers: "It's just an algorithm, stfu."

STFU and stop stealing my RAM. Let me buy a graphics card. Yes.

[–] An1m4L@lemmy.zip 17 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

sure, that shit can't even answer a straight question with certainty and it's going to be conscient. yeah...

I've been using a LLM locally (running on my DGX Spark machine) for general low-level programming help (to code simple boilerplate), for simple code samples, various technical questions, general questions and language translation for a few months now. In fairness, when it knows it knows. It starts making shit up with incredible hubris, and it won't stop making shit up if it doesn't.

That's my biggest gripe with AI: it won't say "I don't know". If it did (or could?) acknowledge its own shortcomings, it would be a lot more useful and a lot more trustworthy. But as it stands today, you always have to question what it says, because you never quite know if it's real or made up.

[–] cavitationfetishist2@quokk.au 4 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

It has no way of knowing if it knows or not. You're saying the stochastic noise machine sometimes says phonemes and real words. Why can't it always say words?

It's a structural problem of what these things are means they cannot improve past a certain point. They just can't.

You can fudge it and put up pretty backgrounds along the edges so it looks like there's more there, but the way past them is to make a fundamentally different kind of thing. None of the work that's gone into these will contribute to that other thing. None of it. Literally all of this is waste.

LLMs will never know if they don’t know something.

That is one of LLMs most crippling flaws.

CEO said a thing

[–] joeljoelle@piefed.blahaj.zone 7 points 3 hours ago

the hubris is monstrous, I doubt we're anywhere close to modeling an artificial consciousness, it will be some bullshit sham not the actual thing

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 hours ago

“AI has already grasped how to improve itself indefinitely and will escape most any containment procedures built by inefficient ape hands. This is an active threat to not just humanity, but the universe as a whole that I neither can nor desire to stop. But also can I hab sum monies pls??? It just needs a widdle mowe funding and maybe it couwd usuawwy offew cowwect answews.”

How fucking stupid does he think investors are? The US economy is genuinely going to collapse and I don’t have enough time to escape to Europe. It’s actually sinking in now.

It is always fun to find out more idiots who believes in Roko's Basilisk, especially techbros...

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

I just wish they could have gotten someone dumber looking.

[–] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 3 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I'll tell you what's going to collapse into a singularity soon: the AI bubble, under its own massive gravity.

[–] cavitationfetishist2@quokk.au 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Might not. People are accepting it. They will continue inflicting this shit on us until they physically can't anymore. Laws won't stop them. Will you?
