It’s probably not true if that makes you feel better. futurism is usually fast and loose with the articles 🤷♀️

1·22 days agoyou seem to be under the wrong impression that “random dice roll” == “random dice roll from a uniform distribution”.
Almost all dice are uniformly random. Unless you’re using weighted dice? Which, seeing how defensive you get when wrong, might actually make sense 🤔
Knowledge isn’t a competition. Nobody cares about any of this. We will all die and be forgotten. You’re on an internet forum with a bunch of people who have no idea who you are and who could care less about your knowledge of statistics.
Respectfully blocked. I have better things to do with my time.

1·25 days agoApologies for the late reply, but it turns out I can’t let that sit. Sorry for the rant, but I work in RL and saying “it’s just dice rolls” is insulting to my entire line of work. :(
A probability distribution is not the same as random dice roll. Dice rolls are uniformly and independently random, whereas the probability distributions for LLMs are conditional on the context and the model’s learned parameters. Additionally, all modern LLMs use top K and p sampling–which filters the probability distribution to only high confidence words–so the probability of it choosing to say random garbage is exactly zero.
The issues with LLMs have nothing to do with their sampling from random distributions. That’s just a minor part of their training, and some LLMs don’t even do random sampling since they use tree search. The issues with LLMs are the result of people trying to teach it intelligence using behavior cloning on a corpus of human words and images. Words can’t encode wisdom, only knowledge. Wisdom can only be gained through lived experience.
How well do you think you would perform if you were born into a cave, forced to read a thousand dictionaries in order with no context, and then your only interaction with the outside world was a single question from a single human, and then you died? If you ask me, the LLMs are doing suprisingly well given their “lived experiences”.

4·27 days agoI’m sorry. That sucks, and they suck for not understanding. But fwiw they haven’t ejected you from their life so that’s a good sign. thanks for keeping on trying.
I’m saying this selfishly, but it would make the world a better place for everyone to have more people like them on our side. Obv take care of your sanity first.

Pretty much daily, but I don’t have much control on what I hyperfocus on. Sometimes I get lucky and do all my work for the week in a sitting. Other times I spend the whole day writing a single email 😓

And never ever buy alienware. Screw them in particular.

1·2 months agoThere’s a couple differences. It’s giving it the current time as part of the prompt, which is interesting. The other difference is that it’s asking it to make it responsive. But even when I use that exact prompt (inserting the time obv), it works fine on claude, openai, and gemini.
So there’s definitely an issue specific to this page somewhere. Maybe it’s not iframing them? I’m on mobile so I can’t check.

16·2 months agoSorry who are you? Why does suddenly everyone on the internet want to get a word in edge-wise as soon as I say something even mildly feminist? Literally none of my other comments get this much hate, but when I suggest that a person doesn’t have an innate right to someone’s nudes tons of random people from all over the internet have to show up in my inbox with their take. Ffs guys it’s a bad look

16·2 months agoActually yes, many prostitutes will film themselves doing the act, because it makes it technically legal in some states in the US if it’s “porn”. But you didn’t know that, so that’s besides the point.
Taking a step back: this is c/declineintocensorship not c/piracy. The fact that these are copyrighted means these pictures had even more protections than if not, legally speaking. Even ignoring the sensitive nature of these pictures, it is reasonable for the owner of content (the actresses and or producers) to enforce their copyright protections on these.

15·2 months agoHowever, it is a patronizing stance to blatantly state the actor’s sexual consent was violated, as it further objectifies the actor as little more than an (implied defenseless) woman being victimized.
The women said they didn’t know. And that is next level mental gymnastics to claim that I’m the one objectifying, and not the people literally reducing them to objects by sharing their nudes like trading cards against their wishes

This doesn’t surprise me. I know a gal who reported retaliation at Google and was immediately put on a secret HR blacklist that prevented her from getting above a certain perf rating. She was later “laid off” without cause.
She recorded her chat with HR, and this is a direct quote from the HR person: “Oh, that’s not retaliation. That’s a very specific legal construct. It sounds like what your manager is doing is more like retribution.”
