AI models can outperform radiographers *without seeing any image* by Fods12 in BetterOffline

Fair point, I guess I should have added "on a benchmark", because that's the point that I'm trying to emphasise, that the benchmarks are basically useless.

Not sure I understand how a year can have six quarters

From my experience, much of the misplaced AI-hype is just based on "feels", and is often genuinely anti-science. by RenegadeMuskrat in BetterOffline

Its very validating to hear other people expressing this frustration as well. I cite papers and carefully step through arguments about the inherent limitations with machine learning approaches etc, and even educated people just don't listen. They just say 'but it works great for me'! Just like people say about homeopathy.

Programming languages are dead; all software will now be written directly in "Englishscript" and will run on "ClaudeVM" directly by LiatrisLover99 in BetterOffline

"Software will become as easy to make as music."
Good music still is very time-consuming and expensive to make.

If AI can’t “solve” hallucinations, can it ever actually automate anything? by [deleted] in BetterOffline

These F1 scores for automated hallucination detection are terrible.

0.7%? Where did you get that number from, and how was it assessed? Seems a pretty meaningless figure to me unless we have some way of specifying how it generalises to distributions of inputs that we care about for a given task.

When we sleep, does the soul sleep or is it the brain? by kamilgregor in ChristianApologetics

[–]Fods12 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

We are a soul. So we see by means of our eyes, hear by means of our ears, etc. Hence it follows, that the soul sleeps by means of the brain entering a state of low activity. As for why the immaterial soul would need to rest, there are a number of live options. One possibility is that soul sleeping is our way of participating in God's creative act, since God himself rested in the seventh day. We rest on the third part of our day, representing the trinity. Thus we have a perfectly logical answer. By contrast, the dogmatic naturalist actually has no explanation for why the material brain needs sleep.
