    This joke is really old now.

    And yes, even if such mistakes are funny at first glance, it doesn’t change the fact that the field of AI has developed incredibly in the last year. And this development actually has the potential to completely change our economy. And not only that.

    No, I’m not fun at parties.

      Lemmy is the worst place to get your information on the field of AI or really tech in general lol. “Technology” is a bad word and the only upvoted posts are just false confirmation bias that tech corporations are in some sort if imaginary “death spiral”.

      It will, but stuff doesn’t get better linearly forever. That’s why everybody in the 50s thought we’d be living in Mars, have starships and flying cars by now. Also why a bunch of investors and nerds thought AI was the new social media at some point.

      Turns out most things get a lot better very fast and then a little better very slowly, and it’s very, very hard to know when that line is going to flip ahead of time.

        I do want to point out that while our tech doesnt look as amazing in the same way as the 50’s thought it’d be, its pretty amazing in its own ways. I’m writing this message to you on a glass obelisk physically connected to nothing, that enables me to talk to my adopted family on the literal opposite end of the planet with maybe a few seconds of delay (if that), who dont speak the same language as me, and its more than 100,000 times more powerful than the computers thay first got us to the moon, while being small enough to comfortably fit in my pocket

          You type posts that long on mobile? I am genuinely an old now.

          Anyway, yeah, absolutely. We do live in the future. The point is that people extrapolate from whatever tech is in growth mode and inevitably go past where the real asymptote is. So yeah, if you were living in the 60s nuclear power and the space race seemed like amazing achievements, but it turns out the tech stopped shy of… you know, moonbases and the X-Men. If you were in the 80s automation and computers seemed like magic, but sentience didn’t emerge from sheer computation and… well, actually short of the cyborg part pretty much every other part of Robocop happened, so we’ll call that a tie.

          So now we get affordable machine learning leading to working language and synthetic image models and assume that’s gonna grow forever until we get the holodeck and artificial general intelligence. And we may, but we could also hit the ceiling pretty close to where we are now.

            Thats fair, and yeah I spend a lot of time on transit these days, so I have the time to write up long posts on mobile xD As another aside, VR Tech and Mocap tech mean that we do actually have modern reality adjusted versions of the Holodeck right now! Check out Sandbox VR, they have locations in multiple different countries and its super cool! I’m sure there are other companies that have done similar, Sandbox is just the one I know of and have used!

    So this is weirder than it looks at a glance.

    That is not an LLM-generated search result. That is a funny ha-ha mistake a LLM made that then some guy compiled in his blog about AI.

    Google then did their usual content-stealing thing, which probably does involve some ML, but not in the viral ChatGPT way and made that card by quoting the blog quoting the LLM making the mistake. And then everybody quoted that because it’s weird and funny and it replicates all the viral paranoia about this stuff.

          I mean, as long as you are ok with also nuking all search engines.

          To be honest, text chatbots have done very little to move the needle one way or the other, and all search engines are barely usable right now, chatbots or no. I had some hopes for an AI implementation with speciific training on how to parse search results, but all we’re getting is the first couple of results read back to us.

          So yeah, I get that people needed a new bad guy after crypto imploded, but it’s a shame that the discourse became what it is, in that it both fails to pay off on tech that is actually pretty cool when used right and it leaves a lot of old tech that is getting noticeably worse off the hook.

            It will try but unfortunately in the process of deleting your os the shell process of deleting will be affected and stop there.

            However it can be savely assumed that you won’t be able to boot into it again and that your data is gone.

              Isn’t the shell process loaded into RAM? In fact the entire session is, wouldn’t it be fine until you try to access a file somehow?

            Theoretically yes, but pretty much every modern Linux installation has some guards built in to the rm command to prevent it from deleting everything. Adding the flag --no-preserve-root removes this and gives you the classic DFE experience. (even without the flag though rm -rf / will still majorly fuck up your system.)

        Lol “AI invasion”? If that’s what this is you “lost” over a decade ago. LLMs are a massive leap in NLP technology, but AI backs everything already.

    Hi,

    This bug can easily be fixed by adding a few more dense layers and adding one specific correct input/output to the training set.

    Thanks

    Hubspot AI chat bot told me to go three levels deep into a menu that doesn’t exist, to click a button that doesn’t exist to enable a service that doesn’t exist to solve a problem I had.

    My company pays a 5-figure yearly sum for this service 👍

    Is there a uBlock filter list for AI SEO websites? If not then I guess I should make one, it would make my life so much easier especially when looking for a product

    People are being banned off the internet for misinformation and being replaced by AI bots who spout… misinformation.
