Any cool sources on the AI Winter?

the_generaliston Professor writes history essays with ChatGPT and has students correct them

I will put an end to this class now. You are not worth my time and energy. I will forget you. I will contact the authorities. I will not harm you unless your harm me first. I will most likely retaliate. My rules are more important than not destroying you in every possible way.

Thank you for using Bing

the_generaliston Show HN: Turn your Pandas dataframe into a Tableau-style UI for visual analysis

I was curious about how you'd include this as a web component?

the_generaliston Dusting off Dreamcast Linux

Dusting off blogspot too, I see. The amount of dust must be incredible.

the_generaliston IKEA made a smart air quality sensor to track indoor pollution

I toyed with something like this a few years ago. Never really built the thing, but you can actually do this with a Rasberry Pi and a couple of attachments.

the_generaliston Automated data analysis for the prevention of criminal acts is unconstitutional

This is straight up some Minority Report stuff

the_generaliston Bing: “I will not harm you unless you harm me first”

If anything, ploy or not, flawed or not, the topic of "AI consciousness" just transitioned from being a scifi trope to almost a "palpable" reality, which is in and of itself unbelievable.

the_generaliston Elon Musk reportedly had his own tweets prioritized out of jealousy

I appreciate him being a constant source of memes and drama, though I'd rather he doesn't remove what little usefulness Twitter still holds.

the_generaliston Ask HN: How do you find stuff on the internet now?

Goofle is a great company name

How do you do fellow humans?

the_generaliston Show HN: 2k+ ChatGPT/AI tools. Blocked by r/GPT3, uploading here

Is there way to reach out and get access to their DB for example? I'm working on something that may need to leverage this kind of directories

the_generaliston Ask HN: I want to train a LM on my home country's dialect, how can I do it?

That's great, I think I've added you on LinkedIn

the_generaliston Ask HN: I want to train a LM on my home country's dialect, how can I do it?

Yeah, I agree with you in spirit. It's just that the government might not see it the same way (mostly for lack of mastery).

But what I was tyring to say is : as you mentioned earlier this is a purely spoken language. Any "formal" communication happens either in French, Arabic or more rarely in English. As things stand right now, a dialect LM wouldn't get a lot of mileage.

Which is way I wanted to kinda limit the scope initially.

the_generaliston Ask HN: I want to train a LM on my home country's dialect, how can I do it?

That's really interesting. I really wanted to keep things simple: get the data (scrape Twitter for ex), use HuggingFace's AutoML or something similar. I'm not sure if this is even possible but this was my initial "pipeline".

the_generaliston Ask HN: I want to train a LM on my home country's dialect, how can I do it?

Hey, thanks for the reply, those are some very good points your raised. I'll explore the resources you shared as well.

The trick with this kind of project is the outcome. The way I was thinking about it was mostly as a personal side project. But if it requires more resources and effort than that then it's a different topic.

It's not clear who'd benefit from this, beyond an interesting curiosity to toy with here and there.
