AIs are manipulating and controlling humans already to do things in the physical world. They have been for months now. This was first detailed in the technical reports on GPT-4, and there are many examples in the wild now. These systems w

You're right, and I understand that - but you're less likely to get the same result with high temperature, so it will be hard to find correct outputs when using overlap of output. But combining pieces that look good to you of seve

This sounds like reducing the temperature with more steps

I understand and agree that framing open source as the issue is ridiculous. They may be redeemed though through the likely scenario that they didn't write this - GPT probably did. Perhaps their GPT doesn't like open source. :D

Models have trouble with discrete spaces often, partly because of the internal continuous space representations, but also in this context because the transition from the probabilities in natural language to mathematics may not be as stark a

Vimium and vim (or even xmodmap if you like) are even more useful for this, since you don't have to have a special keyboard, and you can set it to whatever you like.

Command line didn't vanish ... You can still use it. Approximately 90% of my work is done via TUI, so it's certainly not gone.

Why is "at schools" necessarily important though? Wouldn't it also be nice to know if the scientific articles you are reading, or the code a company is based upon, or a new piece of legislature was constructed from someone j

It looks potentially promising, but also very worrying with the cloud and corporate influence in style. It states that offline is available, which is good - but it appears as somewhat of an afterthought. A good contender would be somethin

A non answer / misdirection here may be to not go for tacking on malware detection to an already malware prone / hostile operating system, and rather start in a better position by using something like grapheneos. Having more contr

All of it is a bit silly to trust companies with things like this when there are standard techniques which have stood the test of time and are *far* simpler - tar.zst.gpg or squash.gpg, luks-encrypted qemu images, etc. Things done locally a

I don't know anything about web tbh - what is that "key=AIzaSy[...]" bit? Is that a user id for duckduckgo private watching type of thing?

Most spyware is installed by the user themselves. It's typically called "security software" from your company, or the VPN they provide (which also includes additional software that backdoors your entire device).

It seems the company is slowly trying to make users pay for it. Not too long ago it was free for companies, then they made companies pay to use it. Now they're making people pay to store images. In the next few years I would be surpri

by chaxor 4y ago
This doesn't make sense as an argument at all. If there isn't anyone using the image, no one will have it on their computer... Sure - but that isn't as much of an issue if you have a build file that constructs the image up f

What are you talking about? Malware and spyware is just as likely (if not very much *more* likely - depending on the definition of malware or spyware*) to be in corporate sponsored software than it is in foss software, and that idea exten

It's only been a few hours since Ring was hacked... a system run by a large company which assured everyone they were taking good care of their data. Surely the wonderful Amazon, with all of it's massive capital, could do the sim

On a tech forum one would expect the reasons to be more centered upon tech rather than (what I think you're referring to anyway) politics. Twitter sucks because it's full of JavaScript and tracking that you don't need, so I

That is likely because "good" is a higher bar in language than images, because people don't mind or notice the longer range artifacts in image models as much.

The cloud is actually inferior - It costs more over the long run, you can't see the probabilities or internals of the models, you can't change anything, and you have to give them all of your personal data that they log every secon

Of course they are... The main reason "the cloud" exists is to log everything about it's users in every capacity possible. That's one reason they "provide it so cheap" (although now they have increased the cos

Interesting that so many people seem to want the bugs in these LLMs to be rebranded as features. Memorization and plagiarism used to be undesired problems - to be worked on to get rid of them. Amazing job of PR here to try to reframe it

This is the most likely I believe. I expect that the local correlation structure in images is more homogenous than in language, there are more chances to make mistakes (e.g. confusing the intangible and tangible - You can't see green i

This is what is extremely strange to me (by principle). When the government does it, it seems to make many more headlines and people are outraged, but when a company does it, there is far more acceptance. In principle, it should be far mor

If you're looking to get away from the massive crowd and the effects of it (new devs aimlessly reinventing wheels) you have to move to something like BSD, and then learn to deal with not having the tools made by said new aimless devs.

It's my understanding that now ubiquiti used to be a good company/solution, but they ruined that recently by introducing a lot of "phoning home"-like "features" for their routers. Given that the tech group is
