The hostility just seems unnecessary and unproductive from my point of view. Unless of course your intention is to hurt - but I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you’d rather change minds.

It’s a nuanced discussion, which is why I don’t think either fanaticism or militant opposition is going to get us anywhere. This is a technology community - people should be free to have civil discussions about technology. Criticism is just as valid without the jabs and insults.

Those terms are not synonymous. LLMs are very much an AI system but AI means much more than just LLMs.

I don’t get why you need to be such a dick about it.

I don’t think AI means what you think it does. What you’re thinking is probably more akin to AGI.

Logic Theorist is broadly considered to be the first ever AI system. It was written by Allen Newell in 1956.

I’m still looking for what to do if I’m alone and something happens.

How to unchoke yourself if you’re dying alone.

It’s not dependent on constant software updates.

I bet every modern fighter jet is. “Dependent” might not be the best word, but if you can make your existing jet better just by optimizing the software, then of course they should.

It’s probably true to say that F-35 is objectively better than a Gripen, but it’s way more expensive too. More Gripens might actually be better than fewer F-35s. My understanding is they’re more focused on electronic warfare.

Even broke the warranty seal over the USB port.

Firstly, it’s not just about the price of the drones being shot down - it’s also about the price of whatever they were going to hit if you didn’t stop them.

And secondly, that’s entirely beside the point anyway. The Dutch need stealth fighters just as much as anyone else would.

Either you’re talking confidently about something you couldn’t possibly know, or you’re risking the rest of your life in prison for leaking top-secret military info. Which is it?

It was Dutch F-35s that shot down the Russian drones over Poland. It could’ve just as well been a Russian fighter jet they scrambled to intercept.

Yeah, they do need a stealth jet. Stealth is what lets you fire your missiles before the enemy even knows you’re there.

they imply that anti-depressants aren’t useful

The title says they’re just as effective as excercise. The only way to intrepret this as saying medication isn’t useful is if you think excercise isn’t useful either.

General intelligence refers to human level intelligence where it’s not only limited to one task like playing chess or generating language. General intelligence exists - just not artificial one.

Saying that it’s good at one thing and bad at others.

But that’s exactly the difference between narrow AI and a generally intelligent one. A narrow AI can be “superhuman” at one specific task - like generating natural-sounding language - but that doesn’t automatically carry over to other tasks.

People give LLMs endless shit for getting things wrong, but they should actually get credit for how often they get it right too. That’s a pure side effect of their training - not something they were ever designed to do.

It’s like cruise control that’s also kinda decent at driving in general. You might be okay letting it take the wheel as long as you keep supervising - but never forget it’s still just cruise control, not a full autopilot.

It’s a Large Language Model designed to generate natural-sounding language based on statistical probabilities and patterns - not knowledge or understanding. It doesn’t “lie” and it doesn’t have the capability to explain itself. It just talks.

That speech being coherent is by design; the accuracy of the content is not.

This isn’t the model failing. It’s just being used for something it was never intended for.

What do you even do on Instagram for 16 hours?

Starlink doesn’t work in Russia or in Russian-occupied territories in Ukraine. It does, however, work near the front lines - exactly where Ukrainians need it most. That’s why Russia has been able to use those terminals there, as well as on drones flying behind Ukrainian lines.

What changed now is that it got disabled across all of Ukraine - but Ukrainians are whitelisted and can register their terminals to get them working again. Russians can’t. They also disabled Starlink for anything moving faster than 70 km/h, since Shahed drones can’t fly that slow.

Wasn’t he trying to take that away from Ukraine at some point?

You’re probably refering to this incident: Did Elon Musk Turn Off Starlink Access in Crimea To Disrupt Ukrainian Attack?

No, he didn’t turn it off - it was never enabled in the first place so that Russians can’t use it.

Can we play Age of Empires after this?

I’ll start paying for YT before I ever start watching ads. I won’t as long as I don’t have to, but the second they finally figure this out, I’m subscribing.

It’s well worth the money considering how much I use it and for how long I’ve used it for free. It’s honestly one of the few streaming services actually worth paying for.

Apparently there is a way around it as I’ve been watching YouTube all day and haven’t encountered a single ad.

Well, they don’t in this case either - they just add an extra step to it. You can buy a bit like that off eBay.
