So these articles always make me wonder If the authors understand that building a model is where the power demands really lie.
There's quite a few models that run on local only computers, I doubt it costs much to accept a please or thank you, but I'm going to maintain the habit regardless.

I trust SJG, they've always been very transparent. And probably the gaming industry as a whole, since the margins are so small.
But so many other industries used the supply chain excuse to raise prices during lockdown and never went back when it was no longer an issue. I worry about this a lot.

Yeah, the copyright issue will have to be figured out. But honestly, the ideas would have happened without the stolen work. (Which does make you wonder why they need to defend the models that use the "books3" corpus, which they all seem to use.)
But it's a good "ear" to brainstorm with too.

But those of us in the field are getting pressure to apply it where it fits poorly, those who should know better, don't. So everyone is getting pressure to use it in ill suited scenarios.
It introduces risk where a false positive has cost. It's good at summarizing text.
Anyhow, good luck.

Gen AI is not great for anything where accuracy is needed. It is good for summarizing text, because it was designed to be a text model, so that's the real purpose.
It's just that people use text to communicate, so it looks a lot more universal than it is. 🧵

Ok, so I work in AI. (Well, worked, laid off myself last week.)
Machine Learning would be useful to you. It involves large amounts of training data and would help you find patterns. It would never replace, it just cannot.
The AI that is the current hotness is generative/LLM, however. 🧵

I will have to watch this one later. He did one with me and I noticed every little awkward thing I did, every sibilant S, or where I missed a vocal cue and interrupted or lost my train of thought. So self conscious. Not sure if you had that problem but... Woooie. Watching yourself in video is tough.

They stated that the goal is to cause trauma... So this sounds like it fits that goal. I know concern about my job gives me horrible anxiety.

So I should believe you, with a profile picture and name from Celtic myth, yet espouses Chinese talking points and can't remember if you claimed to be a United States citizen from one message to the next.
And I've not stated any facts, I've just criticized your lack of objectivity.

Are you talking to yourself again? You can do that without putting it in Bluesky. You're a very strange bot.

Unlike you, who seems to have not only multiple consciousnesses, I am but one person. I also do not have the ability to know what every move of a nation might be, unlike you, who seems to know China so well that you can predict its moves.
I ask you, with all your mighty powers, what have you done?

You have a weird multiple personality thing going on where you use "we" sometimes to mean Americans and sometimes "you." So I'm not sure how to identify which is which. You tell me which of you abandoned the Ukraine and while you're at it, tell him to straighten up.

Well we can see that your reality isn't the one the rest of us live in. In your reality China can do magic, so why do they need our opinion anyhow. They can wave a wand and everything will be fixed, right?

And you think that China won't use that leverage to cause similar harm? There's been plenty of stories of the harm caused, and the control that China gains as a result.

And apparently Mom is not happy that the kid was used in publicity stunts like this.

Eh, he is a gamer. He's just got such a big ego that he can't accept that he's not top of the leaderboards. So he paid for that.
AOC is a gamer but she never brags about being the world's best. Plenty of famous gamers out there that are happy to just be "pretty good."

Though, this is an opportunity for them. If they can provide information from the inside to the news and the public, it will help change how they are remembered.

When he started to talk about making Twitter more efficient by just shutting off microservices, without having looked at what they do, those who work in software should have known he spoke about things he doesn't understand.

Humor is important in dark times.
I must say, some of your jokes catch in my brain, make me want to say "grapes are not citrus" before I realize it was a joke. ;)
Maybe that's a service, remind people to maybe take a breath before replying, consider maybe it's ok to not reply. (Though I just did)
