No, and I'm not arguing with the point that they pose a risk to human dignity, because I wholeheartedly agree with that. I'm taking issue with the idea that LLMs are an intellect, or intelligent. Your example of chess engines is a

No, I agree, I think lots of animals have consciousness. I don't consider it to be uniquely human. But LLMs do not have it.

Ok perhaps "LLMs are not conscious" would have been a more solid footing

I've been an atheist since I was old enough to form any thoughts about existence. I don't believe in man's uniqueness, or the concept of a soul. But it irks me when people talk about what we currently call AI as something tha

In Imgurs case it's all left leaning. Lots of scaremongering about what project 2025 and how close we are to dictatorship and lots of alarmist ragebait. I saw a post just over a week ago from a user who predicted that Trump would decla

Nice! I was just thinking about an old eee pc I have somewhere and how I might revive it. What's the performance like?

Sadly true. I saw the same thing happen in real-time as Imgur transitioned from being image hosting for Reddit to an independent network. It went from people posting silly memes and cute dogs to angry political stuff dominating the front pa

I presume the name Atuin comes from the great world turtle in Terry Pratchett's Discworld books?

I'm old enough that I remember when it started up :) Raidió na Gaeltachta was founded in 1972 (before my time), I think people often confuse or conflate the history of the two. What's super confusing is the naming. There were two

In Ireland the creation of a national Irish language TV station is definitely credited with helping keep the language alive, and it is practically the same language. Gaelic language TV in Scotland would also have an audience here, and the

True, I guess it would only make it more generic if you blindly followed the advice. In your niche situation (personal writing, not commercial, very limited use) I guess it doesn't really hurt anyone. You're not depriving some edi

Ireland is investing heavily in green energy production at the moment, building two facilities to split water with excess wind energy. I guess the idea is to capture what can't be used at time of generation and make money from it. The

AI giving feedback on your story is a few steps up from using spell check or grammarly. Harmless enough, right? But consider this: any feedback the AI gives us 1) not intelligent, merely guessing the next word based on similar requests for

I built it at home this morning and tried it, perhaps my expectations were high but I wasn't terribly impressed. I asked it for a list of ten types of data I might show on a home info display panel. It gave me three. I clarified that I

Came here to post the same. Also, if the value in grok is reposting stupid things, I don't see how it adds any value to have it embedded in the social network. You could just as easily ridicule Gemini this way? Also Twitter generates v

13th warrior is a fantastic film with an undeserved reputation. It's the best version of Beowulf on film and full of memorable lines. That scene is one of my faves.

The person behind choviva is not in a position to change China's coal usage or US freight rail uptake. Neither are you and neither am I. Should we just do nothing?

Of course they don't. LLMs are a brainless algorithm that guesses the next word. When you ask them what they think they're also guessing the next word. No reason for it to match, except a trick of context

I've often wondered about a similar issue with wind power. Would enough wind turbines dampen the force of wind?
