Yeah, “you shouldn’t have to learn how to use a house” makes me think of my mom who never learned to load a dishwasher and, even when it’s pointed out that the sprayers are blocked from spinning, refuses not to fill every cubic inch of its interior. I’m broadly against smart anything but thinking any technology requires no effort on the user’s part is laughable.

Technology@beehaw.org•Latest ChatGPT model uses Elon Musk’s Grokipedia as source, tests revealEnglish
46·3 months agoThe whole article is fixated on Grok being far right and never seems to care that an LLM is citing another LLM instead of an actual source.
Absolutely no idea.
20% of the AI isn’t crawlers.

12·9 months agoReading how it works, it sounds nightmarish. I only have the myopia so I only know bifocals in theory but it sounds like they’re replacing something dependably consistent with something that’s constantly trying to guess what I want it to do. I don’t like that in any technology but I extremely don’t want it applied to an entire sense.
Put a button on the side that manually toggles between a preprogrammed close mode and far mode then I’m into it.

8·11 months agoI saw a video of someone demoing a Skyrim AI mod and it sent him on a quest that didn’t exist because it just made shit up when he asked, despite the AI being fed all the true information about the game.

You could argue negligence here but not malice. It’s more in line with people falling into wells.

The Home page has a higher likelihood of tempting you to watch something you hadn’t planned on.

Technology@beehaw.org•What a 160-year-old theory about coal predicts about our self-driving futureEnglish
10·2 years agoThe argument against cars also holds that people should live in places where cars aren’t necessary to avoid hermitude in the first place. You don’t need cars to socialize if you can walk to where people are, you don’t need cars for supplies if you can walk to where stuff is.
Long distance travel can have non-car solutions but also it shouldn’t be the default distance to be away from society.
Other people writing it for you and the openness with which I heard many other students discussing that they weren’t writing their own stuff.
I am entirely certain that it’s the same amount of cheating as it always was and the only thing that changed is that AI is how they’re doing it.

Technology@beehaw.org•The level of engagement on Reddit these daysEnglish
18·2 years agoI think this disparity in votes and comments is also hugely affected by how the UI has been changing over the years as well as the destruction of third party apps. The site is now designed in a way where active participation is less encouraged than ever before unless you’re running old reddit on a traditional computer with an ad blocker.
I will admit this is almost entirely gibberish to me but I don’t really have to understand. What’s important here is that you had any process at all by which you determined which answer was correct before writing an answer. The LLM cannot do any version that.
You find a way to answer a question and then provide the answer you arrive at, it never saw the prompt as a question or its own text as an answer in the first place.
An LLM is only ever guessing which word probably comes next in a sequence. When the sequence was the prompt it gave you, it determined that Homer was the most likely word to say. And then it ran again. When the sequence was your prompt plus the word Homer, it determined that Simpson was the next most likely word to say. And then it ran again. When the sequence was your prompt plus Homer plus Simpson, it determined that the next most likely word in the sequence was nothing at all. That triggered it to stop running again.
It did not assign any sort of meaning or significance to the words before it began answering, did not have complete idea in mind before it began answering. It had no intent to continue past the word Homer when writing the word Homer because it only works one word at a time. Chat GPT is a very well-made version of hitting the predictive text suggestions on your phone over and over. You have ideas. It guesses words.
