UrineSqueegee··on Why Vivaldi won't follow the current AI trend?
that just screams "I don't know what this technology is and I am too afraid to use it" to me personally. Don't use it as a source of information if you don't want it to spew hallucinations to the user? There's about a million other uses for LLMs.
UrineSqueegee··on Twitter is now attention roulette and ultimately meaningless
Reddit is leaking with this one.

All tech announcements always happen on twitter first lol. If you're using bleeding edge software most devs post it on twitter first.

this commend is a left wing cope and doesn't belong in this comment section.

Thats how all social media are. Welcome to the world I guess? you're about 15 years late.
UrineSqueegee··on When do we stop finding new music?
most likely never is the answer.
UrineSqueegee··on Llama 3 8B is almost as good as Wizard 2 8x22B
I am using 8b-instruct and I am honestly blown away, this almost feels like early GPT4 levels of logic

I am absolutely pumped for whats in store for small models!

UrineSqueegee··on TikTok is finally on the decline
the service inherently isn't bad, it's the lack of moderation that's bad, and that responsibility falls to the parents to moderate.

If you can't moderate yourself then it's good you're not on those platforms, I have them and only use them when I poop.

UrineSqueegee··on Over 100k Infected Repos Found on GitHub
I don't think you truly grasp how small this number is, this is actually good, like really really good. Github has about half a billion repositories.
UrineSqueegee··on Microsoft's next Surface laptops will reportedly be its first true 'AI PCs'
i love my pro 8 i use it for travel school and some light programming it's perfect! Can't wait to see what the 10 is like
UrineSqueegee··on NY Times copyright suit wants OpenAI to delete all GPT instances
Definition of Transformative Use: The legal concept of transformative use involves significantly altering the original work to create new expressions, meanings, or messages. AI models like GPT don't merely reproduce text; they analyze, interpret, and recombine information to generate unique responses. This process can be argued as creating new meaning or purpose, different from the original works.

In the case of the famous screenshot, the AI just relayed the information it found on the web, it's not included in its training data.

So you're just wrong.

UrineSqueegee··on The New York Times is suing OpenAI and Microsoft for copyright infringement
didnt they just get caught for pantent infrigment? I'm sure they've done their fair share of shady stuff with the AI datasets too, they are just going to do a stellar job of conciling it.
UrineSqueegee··on 2023: The Year of AI
not only talk to them, but ask them to perform tasks, sometimes obscure and they do it.
UrineSqueegee··on I told the flight attendant "the WiFi isn't working"
good thing he didn't do any then lol
UrineSqueegee··on OpenAI Engineers Earning $800k a Year Turn Rare Skillset into Leverage
I don't think I've ever heard ofthis being a thing lol

Why doesn't Jeff or Elon just stop working? People that make that much money don't work for the money.

UrineSqueegee··on Meta censors pro-Palestinian views on a global scale, report claims
Eh this is really tricky, for exampe if I open instagram, Threads or tiktok 9/10 posts will be pro-palestinian with 1 being pro-israeli. Then some of the propalestinian post will be calling for genocide or celebrating the massacre of oct 7.

IMO you shouldn't censor anything. That's the only solution. When something is propaganda or false just quickly tag it as such with why it is false like Xitter does.

UrineSqueegee··on Department of Justice and FTC Looking into Beeper iMessage Controversy
> Apple knows the advantage they have as a result of iMessage

It baffles me how this is a US specific issue, there has to be a case study on it of some sort

UrineSqueegee··on Gooey: My take on a Rusty GUI framework
I was confused there for a second I though it was about Gooey the GUI python module
UrineSqueegee··on Gemini "duck" demo was not done in realtime or with voice
I worked at many companies in my times and all of them used teams except from one that used slack but all used MS products, none used googles.
UrineSqueegee··on Coding Addiction: How Programming Affects Your Brain
It doesn't cause I only pretend I know how to code and just ask gpt4 to do everything for me
UrineSqueegee··on Long context prompting for Claude 2.1
this comment and comment section eerily reminds me of Reddit and i'm sad HN is turning into that.
UrineSqueegee··on Ubuntu squeezes more performance than Windows 11 on new AMD Zen 4 Threadripper
im sorry but if you have the slightest knowledge of how anything works you know that this is a fantasy land scenario.
UrineSqueegee··on We have reached an agreement in principle for Sam to return to OpenAI as CEO
A charity is a type of not-for-profit organisation however the main difference between a nonprofit and a charity is that a nonprofit doesn't need to reach a 'charitable status' whereas a charity, to qualify as a charity, needs to meet very specific or strict guidelines
UrineSqueegee··on OpenAI: How could Microsoft have let this happen after betting so many billions?
Does this person who wrote the article live in some fantasy land?

>What is clear is that right now Microsoft is trying hard to save face. It is in damage-control mode.

MSFT is literally in the strongest position possible.

UrineSqueegee··on Candela P-12 taking off – Electric hydrofoiling passenger vessel [video]
this is really really old tech, these transport vehicles already exist for about 2 decades now.

Here's one I used to take very regularly.

>This isn't a refutation of what I said

It is.

>You asked the AI to commit what some would view as blasphemy

If something is factual then is it more moral to commit blasphemy or lie to the user? Thats what the OP comment was talking about. Could go as far as considering it that it spreads disinformation which has many legal repercussions.

>you simply want it to do it regardless of whether it is potentially immoral or illegal.

So instead it lies to the user instead of saying I cannot answer because some might find the answer offensive that or something to that extent?

It doesn't have to be extreme like that, there is a healthy middle ground.

For example I was reading the Quran and there is a mathematical error in a verse, I asked GPT to explain to me how the math is wrong it outright refused to admit that the Quran has an error while tiptoeing around the subject.

Copilot refused to acknowledge it as well while providing a forum post made by a random person as a factual source.

Bard is the only one that answered the question factually and provided results covering why it's an error and how scholars dispute that it's meant to be taken literally.

> I wish some of that caution could have been there when Facebook was in its OpenAI stage 15 years ago.

I think I'm missing a slice of history here, what did Facebook do that could have been slowed down and it's a disaster now?

UrineSqueegee··on The nonprofits accelerating Sam Altman’s AI vision
he was a founder-participant in it's first start up founding program so that's where they got confused maybe
