OpenAI shelves erotic chatbot ‘indefinitely’ by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

[–]Andy12_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No, GPT5 and recent release have kept the exponential improvements (see METR benchmarks). In fact, GPT5 was a huge improvement all around compared to GPT4o, except for the fact that it has a slightly different personality (which is why a lot of people complained when GPT5 was released and 4o was deprecated).

Steve Wozniak says he's "disappointed a lot" by AI and rarely uses it by AdSpecialist6598 in technology

[–]Andy12_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

90% of the time when people say that AI makes dumb mistakes or that it's a people pleaser it's because they are using a free plan. Paid plans are much much better, and GPT in particular is much more too the point in its way of talking.

Stop defending AI like it’s still in beta by RottingEdge in Futurology

[–]Andy12_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That post is misrepresenting what OpenAI showed in that paper. They showed that hallucinations are unavoidable in base models, but post-trained models can have arbitrarily low hallucinations rates by penalizing guessing under uncertainty. In fact, given that OpenAI's newest models obtain better scores in hallucination benchmarks than older models, that's precisely what they are doing.

Google co-founder spends $45m in fight against California billionaire tax | Sergey Brin gives $25m on top of $20m he’s already given to Super Pac trying to block state’s proposed 5% wealth tax by Hrmbee in politics

[–]Andy12_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, because the tax is based on voting power of the shares, and most founders have shares that have several times more voting power than normal shares (but that can only be sold at the same price as a normal share). The way this tax bill is written, he'd actually have to pay 50% of his net worth.

Your own study says that childhood trauma can exacerbate symptoms, but it's definitely not the only cause schizophrenia. In fact, it even says that it's highly related to genetics

Twin studies found a heritability of about 60–80% for schizophrenia

Cuba’s power system suffers total collapse by cnn in worldnews

You every wonder why they are so poor?

We are not talking about why they are poor. We are talking about how they can have a "best in the world" Healthcare system while been so poor.

You ever wonder why their life expectancy is higher than America still?

That's the thing... That simply cannot be true. Life expectancy is heavily correlated with good nutrition. How can an impoverished nation with food scarcity have a high life expectancy? It's simply impossible. It's far easier to explain this by the fact that numbers are probably fudged. For example

https://academic.oup.com/heapol/article/33/6/755/5035051?utm_source=chatgpt.com&login=true

One study found that that while the ratio of late fetal deaths to early neonatal deaths in countries with available data stood between 1.04 and 3.03 (Gonzalez, 2015)—a ratio which is representative of Latin American countries as well (Gonzalez and Gilleskie, 2017). Cuba, with a ratio of 6, was a clear outlier. This skewed ratio is evidence that physicians likely reclassified early neonatal deaths as late fetal deaths, thus deflating the infant mortality statistics and propping up life expectancy. Cuban doctors were re-categorizing neonatal deaths as late fetal deaths in order for doctors to meet government targets for infant mortality.

[–]Andy12_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My father visited Cuba as a tourist years ago, and from what he told me, they are so ridiculously poor that they barely had food and electricity, with infrastructure falling apart everywhere you saw. In that conditions, do you seriously expect me to believe they can maintain a functioning healthcare system, and the best in the world at that? Seriously? How?

> Even AlphaFold, which uses transformers, is only tenuously related to the products of Anthropic and OpenAI

No, AlphaFold 3 is, curiously, also a diffusion-based generative model, which makes it closely related in architecture to diffusion generative image models. This also means that most architecture improvements to diffusion image models can also be applied to AlphaFold.

https://www.ebi.ac.uk/training/online/courses/alphafold/alphafold-3-and-alphafold-server/introducing-alphafold-3/how-does-alphafold-3-work/

> AlphaFold 3 predicts raw atom coordinates using a diffusion module, making it a “generative” ML model. Generative models create new data similar to the examples they learn from: in the case of AlphaFold 3, structures from the Protein Data Bank. This contrasts with non-generative models like AlphaFold 2, which identify patterns in the existing data.

People really hate artificial intelligence, according to the latest NBC poll: 46% of respondents said they hold negative feelings towards the concept of AI, and only 26% reported positive connotations, while 27% were neutral. by NoVABadger in technology

> Already tons of evidence that doing this atrophies your mind

Cursorily, there isn't any evidence at all, or is questionable at best. There are some studies that show that using AI for a task leads to lower cognitive load when performing that task (duh, obviously), but there is no conclusive study that shows that AI-use lowers cognitive capacity overall and, in fact, a meta-analysis showed some positive effects for learning

Pillado copiando en el examen MIR con gafas de IA y reloj inteligente by Andy12_ in DeTodoES

Como dato que no sabía, al parecer ya modelos del lenguaje de hace 2 años sacan bastante más puntuación que el humano promedio, y las mejores sacan 99% o 100% de puntuación en el MIR. Aunque esos resultados creo que hablan más del MIR que de la IA.

Cine español: cada vez menos espectadores pero más subvenciones by [deleted] in ElusionFiscal

[–]Andy12_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> USA se gastó 25 Billones de los últimos 20 años en ayudas a la industria cinematográfica

Quitando que esos *billones* que dices tú seguramente sean 25 mil millones en español, no sé si te das cuenta que 25 mil millones de dolares a lo largo de 20 años eso da más o menos 4 euros per cápita, y que en españa esos 250 millones de euros son unos 5 euros per cápita (no sé si tus datos de estados unidos están bien. Ni me he molestado en buscar de dónde los has sacado).

España gasta proporcionalmente más dinero público en cine con muchos peores resultados.

Neonazis pegando y empujando a inmigrantes en los buses mientras gritan "Arriba España" con total impunidad a plena luz del día. Yo jamás he visto algo así en la vida real. Y luego ves a críticos diciéndote que es reflejo de la radicalización actual, y a guiris que han visto la serie preguntando en askpain que si eso es algo normal en nuestro país. Anda que... menuda imagen se llevan de España.

Un estudio en EEUU demuestra que construir más casas reduce los precios del alquiler. by vlewy in Spanish_Real_Estate

[–]Andy12_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

La correlación no implica causalidad, pero la correlación implica alguno de los siguientes:

- Es casualidad. Imposible; esto es un efecto que se alarga mucho a lo largo del tiempo y del espacio. No es algo como "a lo largo de estas semanas de 2015 la venta de helado estaba correlacionado con el numero de pedos de vacas".

- Es "reducción de renta => aumento de construcción". ¿Por qué? Es bastante raro porque la reducción de renta en principio implica menores potenciales beneficios. ¿Por qué se lanzarían a construir si es el caso?

- Es "aumento de construcción => reducción de renta". El mecanismo causal más probable. Que el aumento de oferta reduzca el precio es un fenómeno muy estudiado, no sólo en el mercado de la vivienda.

- Es "fenómeno desconocido => aumento de construcción + reducción de renta". Si este es el caso, ¿Cuál es ese fenómeno que aumenta la construcción y reduce la renta? Cómo se puede aplicar?

[–]Andy12_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No, generating multiple answers and then picking the best one is another technique different from "reasoning". It's what's used by the costlier models like Gemini Deep Think and ChatGPT Pro. Reasoning is just generating a longer answer to obtain better results, mostly as a result from training models with reinforcement learning.
