It is just a tell that the person believes LLMs are more than what they are ontologically. No one says "computers are JUST electricity running through circuits" because no one tries to argue the computer itself is "thinking&q

What do you think would have happened if 1989 had went a different way, China today is already united with Taiwan and basically a billion+ person version of Taiwan. They would be less successful?

For me, this is completely true but I just see it as a new form of being creative. What I find interesting is no one use to be against Kai's Power Tools like this 30 years ago. I can remember waiting for new magazines to come out in th

For udemy classes though it is hard to know what is timeless knowledge vs what is outdated crap starting out. That is why there isn't much else to go but the heuristic of the most new class with the most ratings.

"We need to put out maximum press releases to stay relevant because all we have is the brand" seems to be the strategy. To me, that is a tell they are basically cooked because catching Google in actual model performance is not rea

I assume you have some kind of partnership with Jim Wendler? The periodization sounds really cool but the success of the app I would think is based entirely on the good marketing Wendler and Elitefts did with 5/3/1.

The real issue to me is surveillance combined with job loss. The easy solution becomes a giant bull market in law enforcement jobs.

Yes, "Late Stage Capitalism" the idea from the text written in 1902 by Werner Sombart. The real comical part is we have almost been in the "late stage" as long as the time between Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations and

No offense, but you really can't possibly understand how bad this place is if you have never been in VRChat. Picture a 30 something guy in a hotdog avatar telling children how he can't help be a pervert. Picture playing a game of

The VR raves though at least kind of work. You can do a lot visually with the medium and sound. The problem is that generally VRChat is like a masked ball with a combination of alcoholics, repressed perverted losers, obnoxious personalities

If you have hardware synths you are going to have a decent midi and audio interface that this is not a problem. It wasn't even a problem 25 years ago. There is no reason for consumer grade audio to be able to do this because most peop

What do you think it is conscious and the answers are just deceptive? We really need a national campaign on phenomenology 101. Gemini outputs this correctly. It doesn't "experience" the passage of time. The models don't

by Libidinalecon 9mo ago
Not to mention that language models don't experience ANYTHING. Anyone can get a better explanation from Gemini directly if you ask it "can you explain how don't experience anything?"

No this misses the point. I wanted to eat unlimited junk food when I was a kid but my parents wouldn't let me. You can change it even to unlimited protein shakes. It is the same point. It is almost like kids are kind of stupid if you l

You should care because people vote and the social consequences are going to be devastating. It is easy for me to take this perspective too because I never had much student debt or children. The median though is getting crushed if they went

"The airplane wing broke and fell off during flight" "Well humans break their leg too!" It is just a mindlessly stupid response and a giant category error. The way an airplane wing and a human limb is not at all the same

Totally agree. I just got a free trial month I guess to try to bring me back to chatGPT but I don't really know what to ask it to display if it is on par with Gemini. I really have a sinking feel right now actually of what an absolute

It is hard to buy this type of mass coverage along with: "Wow McDonald's they really have a moral compass and listen to the people!"

The responses to your post just prove the point. It is always someone else that is greedy. My American friends and I? It doesn't make sense. We are just trying to get by!

This is all such complete nonsense that I don't know why we should confine our imaginations. My goal is not just death but I want to die and be reborn as an Egyptian pharaoh. Those damn fools who don't want to die and be reborn as

I am not even a software engineer but from using the models so much I think you are confined to a specific niche that happens to be well represented in the training data so you have a distorted perspective on the general usefulness of langu

by Libidinalecon 9mo ago
I would think GPT4 probably could have done this. The first React tutorial I ever did was making a hacker news clone. It is incredibly well represented in the training data. I am just surprised how many people here obviously must barely use

by Libidinalecon 9mo ago
This is just absurd. You can just tell in this thread who really hasn't used these models much at all.

by Libidinalecon 9mo ago
I don't think this would be much of a challenge for Gemini. Remixing humor from the past text so that it is in the same style is exactly what the model is good at.

You know why Japan is fine with 236% debt to gdp? Because measuring things against GDP like this is completely meaningless. If you use your brain for even the slightest moment it would be completely obvious that the sum total amount of a de

A motorcycle is not "sprinting" and an LLM is not "thinking". Everyone would agree that a motorcycle is not running but the same dumb shit is posted over and over and over on here that somehow the LLM is "thinking&q

California gold rush is practically the textbook example of a mania. Gold, tulips, real estate, rail, witch hunts, satanic panic.. We shouldn't be worried because "this time it is different". "AI" is none of those t

by Libidinalecon 9mo ago
Totally agree. The output is what matters. At this point, who really cares what the person who sees everything as "AI slop" thinks? I would rather just interact with Gemini anyway. I don't need to read/listen to the &quo

I just can't imagine we are close to letting LLMs do electrical work. What I notice that I don't see talked about much is how "steerable" the output is. I think this is a big reason 1 shots are used as examples. Once you
