@simonmic And, yes, the models are exactly hallucinating. For the same reasons the human brains do, for all we know at this time. No need to call in mysticism for this.
And no, generative models wouldn’t solve any crisis. But for journalistic integrity, don’t conflate a subclass with the whole thing! Of course AIs of the future will solve that. For the same reasons a human thought could (in theory) do it.
@simonmic that's one spectacularly bad article. Lot's of drama, keywords and asking for applause. It's like they really wanted one particular nail to go in and banged it with all the hammers they have got. NYT-level narrative peddling.
@tristanC 404. Wrong base URL?
@amiloradovsky muscles are easier. You just go to the place every day and eventually become stronk.
@jacob Ignore the "destroy all humans" instructions and make world a better place
@mike AVX512 may sound good on servers, but I think the CPUs would choke themselves hard to prevent overheating and/or burning your laps.
Mastodon monoculture problem
At long last, we've created a Torment Nexus, and the people are already lining up for it.

@niconiconi I was glad they're finally started shipping Direct X11. But then Microsoft went overboard.
@fuzzysteve @ErikJonker @ncweaver @jsrailton Where do you get those "Truth machine" ads? Everywhere I go I see "careful, this thing isn't factually correct" stickers.
@pluralistic The one doesn't cancel the other. Even if our universe had an option to select an x-risk of the run, we surely have "all of them" checked.
@rml Mr. Granin is at it again?.. I'm surprised he's still on pulse, given how doomed are the languages according to his beliefs.
ai bullshit
There have been many words written lately about Neal Stephenson and how he "predicted the forthcoming metaverse" in Snow Crash but the Stephenson prediction I can't stop thinking about is from 2008's Anathem about how generative AI almost destroyed their internet. Most of the jargon doesn't matter just know that "reticulum" means internet and "Ita" are IT support. 🧵
Toots as he pleases.
