it's a shame that the vatican didn't bother asking whether or not the crusades would make humanity better before causing the death of 9 million plus people. ..or whether or not hiding all those pedophiles was the right. and to be

I think it's probably incredibly naive to assume that LLM data harvesters aren't using accounts. Now, they shouldn't -- but if we use that bar to judge what these groups are actually doing, well they shouldn't be plagiar

that analogy is so boring now with so many real world examples of actual LLM work. people still can't get over the unreasonable effectiveness of algorithms.

the obvious answer is because it's easier , faster, and more efficient to flip a true to false right in front of you than it is to prompt an llm. if your response is "my prompts don't produce code that needs values flipped, e

absolutely not. a very near example would be immersed vr which is compatible with xorg and does essentially the same thing (2d windows pasted all over a 3d world), although not integrated into minecraft. also since their solution isn't

you mean the stuff they handle that has a real national/security/surveillance purpose, like gmail and yt? I can't imagine why (or who) that'd be kept alive for.. funny how some of their projects have undisclosed budgets

I totally disagree. AI is overhyped, but the demos that have impressed me most are things/elements that very few people are touching and that no one seems to be talking about. the hype is where the money is, as is always -- marketing &

less anonymity and a reputation system? I know you designed the thing, and that was a great effort, but what a miss when compared to the vast majority of freenet users priorities.

be proud of your own imitative, not thankful for the boot to the ass. Google did nothing to help you , but your response to the dire situation is to be commended.

leaving a repo unattended because you have shit to do isn't a 'dumb way' for it to die. that's life. I didn't sign up as maintainer for life just by simply throwing something on git -- i'm not using git as a re

so it just boils down to strictness even when we're talking LLMs? I agree with you about fast failure being a nice feature , but I also think that if you're TDDing a bunch of stuff and it fails in some categorical way , well then

1) python is one of the foremost trained upon languages 2) it's practically verbose, not technically 3) it resembles pseudocode 4) batteries included shortcuts a lot of work all of these reasons are a boon for LLM work.

hard to tell. even if volume and hype decreases from the general pop there doesn't seem to be much of a cap on model requirements -- so at least one sector will be pushed into purchases one way or another.

it just depends on how you define computer. people will own an increasing number of dumb terminals connected to rented services. does that reduce the number of computers? well, no.. so, imo : the trick isn't to reduce physical ownershi
