I love how accurate this image is. As they hammer more the structure becomes more and more unstable.
I’ve noticed the AI search suggestions from Bing and Google are just becoming more and more inaccurate as they feed off themselves. I can’t even imagine what it’s doing to systems we can’t see.
noai.duckduckgo my beloved, glad that’s the best free option rn (although I think Kagi is getting popular too, but that’s paid).
Kagi pays yandex for image search ewww. Use a searxng instance and thank me later. Seriously give it a try
Also it’s building on top of existing fragility (the thin pillar below), and only making it worse
Everything is fine. It will become god and fix all our problems any second now, and if you say that’s mathematically impossible you’re just a hater.
I mean, nitpick, but if you blamed mathematics you actually would be. The observation that AI/LLMs are highly unreliable and don’t appear to be getting any better is empirical.
We ha e known since the 50s. The math was done.
Hmm. I’m not sure what you’re referring to. Do you have a link?
No but Turing was involved, and the guy who wrote ELIZA
The tech isn’t new. That’s all the effort I’m willing to put in for this trash.
And that paper’s name? Albert Einstein. I can’t find anything on Weizenbaum and Turing authoring together. Weizenbaum seems to have written mostly prose and code, even - he’s not really thought of for his mathematical innovations, although obviously math was his original field.
Back in the 50’s people thought conventional algorithms, like everybody here knows, were going to reach human intellegence. They could play chess, and chess is smart guy stuff, so obviously recognising a bird should be easy, right? Well, they figured out that wasn’t right, and so began the first AI winter.
The tech of deep neural nets is in fact fairly new. Like, arguably it didn’t become a thing until the Cold War was ending, although there were a lot of precursors, and it kind of arrived gradually.
“We will create God then ask him for money.”
TIL Catholics invented AI
“It doesn’t matter that we are burning 1 trillion dollars with no pat to revenue, because we will create God and it will make money meaningless.”
"Also, it will cure cancer and solve Global Warming. I know dumb people like you that can’t even get a trillion dollars to burn care about those things.
Exactly!
It will collapse due to the AI slop(e)
Love the person in the background getting up, looking over and just sitting back down again like Greg sledgehammering his monitor to pieces is nothing extraordinary
Meanwhile that little block at the bottom is still doing its best to keep it all together. For now.
DNS?
could it be the foss and publicly fund research and training I wonder
MS can’t force that one to use AI on development. But they can force almost everybody up.
Not just MS though, right?
MS is especially egregious about it.
They’re planning the next iteration of Windows to be primarily AI-driven - as in, the AI runs things for you.
Most developers in general.
More like C Level people that force devs to make this crap
As a developer this has not been my experience, we all hate it with the fiery passion of a thousand suns.
My former boss fucking loved it though, but he was a PM not a dev.
There are job postings that not only actively encourage it as part of the job description but ask that you be enthusiastic about it
They are putting it into washing machines these days.
“Oh good catch! How astute of you! Of course I should have added detergent before running the cycle!”
User: Add enough detergent for this weight of clothes.
Washing machine AI: OK, I have added the correct amount for you, ready to start the wash.
User: You only added fabric softener, I need you to add detergent. Please weigh the clothes and add the detergent based on that weight.
Washing machine AI: Ah, I see what you mean. I have now weighed the clothes and added the needed amount of detergent.
User: you just added more fabric softener. Do not add any more of that, I only need detergent. Please, add detergent.
Washing machine AI: I’m sorry, I misunderstood you before. I have now made sure to add detergent.
User: you added more fabric softener…
See, the solution is just to not use softener. Haven’t used it in a decade, haven’t missed it either.
Though the AI might come up with a different fuckup.
More like doing a big sloppy crap of AI on top of everything.
Speaking of being needlessly destructive with stupid bots, these duplicates of other user’s posts don’t even register as cross-posts anymore (due to image proxying).
Lol what bots? This is all manual hence why some posts get through with the dumb proxy URL that I typically manually edit
Why am I cross-posting .ml content?
I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don’t want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some niche comms.
Some highlights from the link:
"Don’t worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167
“See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn’t count!!” ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342
.ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068
“NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035
General negative sentiment to other instances who haven’t “seen the way” yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510
“If you don’t support Russia then you just don’t understand geopolitics” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415
And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can’t even put them all here because this comment would be really long.
I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda
On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like “Lemmy? Isn’t that the place with a bunch of tankies?” Or “Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left”. The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.
