That's the point. It doesn't "know" anything. It takes a prompt of a string of words and outputs a statistically likely continuation of those words. It doesn't understand the question in any meaningful sense and doesn't have perspective on its own answers, never mind understanding what questions...

It's a neural net, not a program. They don't work that way.

I disagree. Volk was consistently utilizing clear technical movements to counter Islam's preferred takedown transitions - specifically that kind of flying butterfly hook to shield his leg from getting wrapped and sitting out with an off axis twist to get his hips out while falling. It was...

Volk looks like he just got back from a jog, not a 25 minute fight with a killer. (Cuts aside)

I don't necessarily disagree with that decision technically, but the 10-point must system is bullshit for this reason.

What a great fucking fight. Volk's wrestling defense was fucking amazing.

Dunno, the announcers said he had temporarily vacated. Edit: Lol, Volk is hilarious.

Volk vacated to move up and fight Islam.

Fuckin hell, Rodriguez is good.

Crosspost from the Chess thread. ChatGPT beats modern elite chess engine.

Trust Dana to not to realize that crazy Russian shit going viral on youtube is not the same thing as a stable business opportunity. I'm surprised he didn't go straight for bear wrestling.

Shameless plug - my cousin wrote the piece of the engine control software that redistributed throttle and let the test fire continue despite that one engine failing to light.

Yes, but there is diminishing cost/benefit on the frequency of updating your diversification. Quarterly is more than enough for a long-term investor.

I'm surprised that they lead anywhere. I would have expected garbage in the format of a valid HTTP link. Honestly, the great success of this round of LLMs is that people instinctively want to hold them to human standards, assuming that they are in some procedural sense understanding and...

Because it doesn't know anything or have a mechanism to detect or correct what we see as inconsistencies in responses. It's just producing words.

FF3 was $85 at release near me. That's $170 in today's dollars.

No, they are not fucking around. https://www.amnesty.org.uk/philippines-president-duterte-war-on-drugs-thousands-killed

I guess, so long as you don't care that there isn't a human opinion at the root regardless of what the words say. Personally, I read movie reviews from people who have opinions consistent with mine. Automated reviews across the full space of opinion doesn't give me any information. In some...

It's performance art. The joke is on anyone who listens to him.

They want it to be obvious you're talking to a (very sophisticated) bot, in addition to giving what they think of as the least controversial answer possible. Giving "real people" responses is not the point. This is a tool they're going to try to monetize to a mass market through major...

If my mom knew about something in the 80s it was about as mainstream as anything gets. No one I know outside this board has heard of the HL/Rowling controversy (at least until PC Gamer mentioned it), including left-leaning gamers.

My mom was a moderate episcopalian and I had to do some work for her to let me get DnD books. In the 80s the reach was significant, especially considering there was no Internet. This HL reactionary crap is entirely overrepresented based on the attention we pay to Twitter and niche media.

A friend's family is in Turkey, fortunately out of the worst-hit regions. This is nearly a worst-case combination of slip-fault, high magnitude, at night, and directly under poorly-prepared population centers with ancient construction standards.

I'm still waiting for baconfish.

Only to the extent that they prevent the users from doing things. I don't see how you could stop a company from discontinuing a product unless they had explicitly made a promise not to do so. The fact that the warning is in the EULA isn't particularly material.

Yes, I get that. Look, I'm not personally a ML expert but I've looked over the shoulder of one for 15 years and built a handful of smaller-scale models myself. I understand what you are describing and I promise you that it's just not how this stuff works. Wormie appears to know what he's...

He's misunderstanding the role of randomness and conflating concepts from the training process with the final model's output process, thinking that you could create a large distribution of outputs and somehow aggregate/filter them for "correctness", thus getting a better output at additional...

What is defined as anomalous output and how is it is identified? What does it mean for GPT output to be "more representative of the training data"? By what metric? The way you are speaking strongly indicates to me that you don't understand how these systems actually work. My wife runs the data...

I think your idea is fundamentally flawed in that no model we have is in a position to evaluate "errors" in the product of the most advanced ML systems in existence. You'd basically need a better ML model, at which point you could just use that from step one.

I'm talking in a technical sense of what the model is capable of producing. If you take two model products there's no guarantee that their average could be produced by the model. This is independent from the fact that the original outputs may or may not make sense themselves to a human. For...

Yes, there are seeds as part of the de-noising process, but what does an aggregate average output mean? There's no guarantee that an average of outputs is itself a valid output. The average of a bunch of different pictures (or text) is garbage.

What does this even mean? I don't think you're describing a process that actually occurs in the training or use of neural nets.

Yeah, this isn't really how it works and that description of machine learning is... flawed. You can have an ensemble of models that "vote" on the correct answer, or you can use different models for different areas of the data space, but you can't stack models on top of models and expect to...

My personal guess is that the laws of physics are insurmountably hostile to travel across large distances on biological timescales. Technological life either dies or rather quickly solves problems of biology (aging) and/or becomes digital consciousnesses, stops reproducing exponentially, and...

Real answer tho:

(mispost, misread something. @Amod can remove)

Jesus christ. I came here to see if the show was any good. I should have known better. This puts the atheism thread in some more context, too....
