I am strongly anti-violence but sometimes I think a bit of torture wouldn’t be the worst means to remind politicians who they represent.

That is indeed exactly my point. LLMs are just a language-tailored expression of deep-learning, which can be incredibly useful, but should never be confused for any kind of intelligence (i.e. logical conclusions).
I appreciate that you see my point and admit that it makes some sense :)
Example where I think pattern recognition by deep learning can be extremely useful:
But what I am afraid is happening for people who do not see why a very simple algorithm is already AI, but consider LLMs AI, is that they mentally decide to call AI what seems “AGI” / “human-like”. They mistake the patterns of LLMs for a conscious being and that is incredibly dangerous in terms of trusting the answers given by LLMs.
Why do I think they subconsciously imply (self-)awareness / conscience? Because to not consider as (very limited) AI a control mechanism like a simple room thermostat, is viewing it as “too simple” to be AI - which means that a person with such a view makes a qualitative distinction between control laws and “AI”, where a quantitative distinction between “simple AI” and “advanced AI” would be appropriate.
And such a qualitative distinction that elevates a complex word guessing machine to “intelligence”, that can only be made by people who actually believe there’s understanding behind those word predictions.
That’s my take on this.
I’m not blindly hating. I despise the asshole responsible for the choice being taken away from me for many major distros and I wish him the plague for his manipulative approach in getting there.
AI did boom, but people don’t realize the peak happened a year ago.
A simple control algorithm “if temperature > LIMIT turnOffHeater” is AI, albeit an incredibly limited one.
LLMs are not AI. Please don’t parrot marketing bullshit.
The former has an intrinsic understanding about a relationship based in reality, the latter has nothing of the likes.

and a giant “fuck you” to Lennart Poettering for that. Not for creating an init system option - but for lobbying it into major distributions, instead of letting the users decide what they prefer. May he forever stub his toes on furniture.
If the AI boom is a dud,
Whaddya mean, “if”? Emperor wears no clothes…
N00b. True pros accomplish O((n^2)!)
it’s reading lemmy right now :p
I just had a light bulb moment as to what it is that annoys me about a large portion of US-american men: all the “dudes” temper & behaviour is adolescent - as if they never made it past puberty. Which perfectly fits the sexualized language being funny to those guys.

so close…
It’s not like I’ve never been to the UK, I went there thrice, it’s just that I feel like boycotting isolationalism (is that a word?) - so as long as I have options, I stick to those countries that try to be open to the world around them. I wouldn’t dream of going to the US again - thanks to (social) media and other propaganda - that country is so torn apart, and what feels like anywhere between 20%-40% of people are driven by hatred - no thank you.
I do occasionally hear Indian or Arabic or Chinese / Japanese music around… It’s just that until recently I hadn’t ever heard the present-day (central?) African pop songs that I stumbled upon and enjoyed. But yes, the western music world is too western-centric, but at the current state of the world, that’s not our biggest problem by far :/
just proves that manipulation works, and that everyone being online on "smart"phones (== owner dumber on average) has made it so much easier to reach them, and social media is giving the algorithms the crucial information on how best to manipulate each individual. I hate it.
seconded! Mr. Musk, if you read this, you would be the greatest of all time if he regularly took new submarine constructions down to the Titanic!
Unfortunately not in the UK, and hesitant about entering post-Brexit :/ Although anything close to Snowdonia is tempting ;) Definitely appreciate the tip!
Okay, Fela Kuti I did actually hear on the Radio plenty a decade ago - https://www1.wdr.de/radio/cosmo/index.html
If I buy from a sex shop, it’s going to be more clear cut.
Life pro tip: Open a sex shop that sells groceries, to devalue the data analysis ^^

Not that Bayer isn’t full of shit, but the company that inherited the producer of Zyklon B did not end up in Bayer
That’s a great way to get performance as shitty as python’s.
