He’s right in that if current AI models were genuinely intelligent in the way humans are then cameras would be enough to achieve at least human level driving skills. The problem of course is that AI models are not nearly at that level yet
Yes LLMs are good with finding terms and phrases that you can’t remember but are at the tip of your tongue
I work in a health-care-adjacent industry and you’d be surprised how many people blindly follow LLMs for medical advice
That’s hilarious haha
Yeah a partially sail powered drone does sound really neat actually. Would definitely help extend the battery life
Just don’t bring it out on a windy day or the solar panel would turn into a sail real quick
I don’t think OpenAI was intentionally targeting women. I doing know if they ever intended for people to fall in love with 4o, it just kind of started happening
There are already apps that target this demographic but expanding on it. Anecdotally many of the people attached to 4o seem to be women seeking emotional attachment. These new AI companion apps scope up this demographic I’m sure. But they also target horny men and prey on their impulses to drain their credit cards (you buy your AI gifts or whatever until the post-nut clarity sets in I guess).
Interesting I didn’t realize there was research on this stuff. Yeah maybe I should go to beehaw too. Blahaj is another one that disables downvotes. It’s true theres no full account migration but theres ways to export your settings and subscription etc to a new community (see this or this). Apparently theres also ways to link two accounts for a persistent identity, by putting the other accounts username in your bio or something, but I don’t know a lot about that.
Yeah. In my experience upvotes/downvotes often have very little to do with the actual quality of a comment and more to do with how much it conforms with the current political zeitgeist of whatever community you’re participating in. The converse of this is that low quality comments telling people who disagree to go F themselves may also get upvotes.
Stuff like this makes me very sympathetic to lemmy instances that disable downvotes
I have hope. There are ways to design the front-end that smooth over the technical aspects for non-technical users. The mastodon sign-up page is a good example of this.
We (Canada) have already started negotiating a free trade agreement with the South East Asian countries that are part of ASEAN, and more are in the works for South American countries (Mercosur) and India. One of our current Prime Minister’s main objectives is literally to just reduce our trade dependence on the US, and there is huge public support for that. The US will never again have the full trust of the Canadian people, not after how Trump has treated us. It’s unfortunate for you guys, but it’s the truth. I don’t think people in the US fully realize just how much their reputation has plummeted internationally.
You put an /s there but I can think of no other explanation for why an LLM might do this
According to a study Sharma published last week, in which he investigated how using AI chatbots could cause users to form a distorted perception of reality, he found “thousands” of these interactions that may produce these distortions “occur daily.”
This is interesting. I think it suggests that the AI psychosis problem is bigger than we realize. All we know of now is a few high profile cases, without any real stats on this issue. But Sharma seems to know enough to be disturbed by the scale of this issue. Anecdotally this matches my own experience, as I think I’ve come across at least one person suffering from it.
I suspect that AI psychosis will become widely acknowledged problem within the next decade, similar to how it’s now widely acknowledged that Instagram and TikTok can trigger eating disorders.
That’s good news. Hopefully it will gain traction among individuals as well as a viable Discord alternative
Yeah. In my experience it’s more complicated than Discord but not as complicated as the fediverse. But either way, even if we can use this as an opportunity to boost its popularity among techy people then that would be a win in my books. Hopefully one day someone will come along and make a front end for Mstrix thats as frictionless to use as Discord
Yeah especially if OP sticks with their Mac. The WiFi drivers won’t work on Mac without proprietary drivers
Also worth noting: you don’t need to get ride of MacOS to try linux! You don’t even need to make any permanent changes to your computer. You can also just boot from a USB and see how you like it. This is different from adding the distro to your computer with a USB. Because when you’re just booting from a USB it doesn’t make any permanent changes to your hardware; it literally just runs linux off your USB. Files won’t even be saved between sessions (unless you really tinker around with it, but even then the files will only be saved on your USB). This is a low risk way to play around and check out how well different distros work on your Mac.
I suggest trying Ubuntu. It’s super beginner friendly and has great documentation which should guide you through booting from your USB. I put Ubuntu on my Mac back in the day and it worked great but the speakers didn’t work because the drivers weren’t open source. You should boot Ubuntu from a USB and play around with some sound sources to see what I mean. Since this will likely be the biggest problem you face with Mac its worth checking out before making permanent changes
I agree it would be better. I’m just saying that in theory cameras are all that would be required to achieve human level performance, so long as the AI was capable enough
