When will people learn that cloud (aka someone else’s computer you rent) is not a good deal for this sort of task? A person smart enough to write a game should really have the fore-thought to estimate the costs up-front of using an external service as part of it.

On the other hand, I’m happy if people token-max the FREE tiers of “AI”, to drive these a-hole companies out of business faster. It’s just unsustainable and the big cloud companies are burning money way faster than they can realistically charge for it, so the more free ‘burners’ going, the better, in a twisted way. Bankrupt those MFers, no mercy.

If there were such a thing as karma, someday in the near future this guy and his gang will be on the wrong end of those firing squads.

The CxOs of all “AI” companies should be held personally liable for what their LLMs and harnesses do. Just like car manufacturers should be held liable if brakes fail on a line of cars. There is no ‘rogue’ “AI”, only rogue “AI” companies and executives and guardrail programmers.

Good start but when are the LLM execs being charged?

Let’s hope this strengthens both Canada and the EU in response to the bullying from South-Canada. :p

.si = stochastic inaccuracy, not ‘super intelligence’.

1. Yes, they built them and knew the possible consequences.
2. Yes, they bought tokens for them and now certainly know the potential consequences.
3. Not if they as employees were ordered by their bosses (see 1. and 2.) to use it or face firing (unless whistleblower protections become an actual thing again, which they aren’t these days – then employees woudl be expected to blow the whistle).
4. Yes, if we can find out who they were.

About frigging time someone said this. Now enforce it!

I guess everyone’s scared that this applies defacto to Israel’s leader, courtesy of the USA, despite him not being American.

noai.duckduckgo.com, for at least one alternative.

CoMaps or Openstreetmaps instead of Google Maps.

ProtonMail/ProtonDrive instead of gmail, gdrive.

There are lots of alternatives, we just need to use them and tell others to use them as well.

Interesting point @13:12 of the video though; agents showed good performance improvements in limited scopes, but human researchers still showed much better improvement, over a factor of 2, ‘…showing better returns for increasing time budgets’.

There may be evidence of some ‘recursive self-improvement’ in research models rigged to modify and re-evaluate themselves, but it’s still only in very tight, limited knowledge areas. This isn’t SkyNet.

Exactly. They have no ‘moat’ in vulture-capital-speak. So they’re now trying to buy one via lobbyingbribes, legislation to cement their leading position. This is also why they’ve bought up all the RAM and SSD storage for the rest of this decade, to make the next gen of PCs and GPUs unaffordable for everyone else. This is phase two of forcing everyone into the cloud; a war against home computing.

Best responses so far in this thread. People need to stop calling these ‘whatever’-intelligence engines. They’re NOT INTELLIGENT. They are probabilistic text-synthesizers. Stochastic Parrots. Or one of many other terms people have begun using, any of which are much more accurate and do not incorrectly assign ‘intelligence’, agency or motivations to what is still only an algorithm. One with ‘temperature’ (randomness) parameters thrown in, to jiggle the retrieved phrasing of sentences somewhat, and so on.

The reason these things always ‘hallucinate’ (some are advocating we drop that term as well, and simply say the algorithms yield incorrect results) can NOT be fixed, as it’s a side-effect of the fundamental way they synthesize their answers.

Doo-doo, de-doo-doo

:( Same here. I have slowly been trying to get my gear set up in a new space again, but have trouble feeling the drive to actually write/record anything.

Sounds neat; let’s hope it is distro- and init-system-neutral.

I have a friend whose sense of taste and salivary glands were messed up by focused radiation treatments for a growth on his neck (not thyroid, I forget what it was exactly, but thankfully amenable to treatment). Took a year or so for both to recover…

Let’s remove Canadian water, wood and potash from U.S. Federal Procurement for them, proactively.

…and the beef, and the water and the potash and the lumber and …
