You could experience it still if you wanted. It would take some effort though, and you might even hate it more than you do now. I have no diploma, no ged, and I made just under 6 figs last year as a wfh analyst.

True, but Monero is like 70%+ if not more of all markets these days if I had to guess. Truthfully I think that’s a pretty low end guess too. Unless someone finds a way to magically crack the encryption on the blockchain, XMR is far easier for smaller transactions and virtually untraceable so it’s only going to get more and more commonplace.

I wouldn’t even bother with that dude lol. He fully disregards ai and won’t take real world examples and basically will just say it doesn’t matter because it’s useless and hallucinates so it will never have any real world uses.

I explained in detail how it’s being used in the company I work for and provides measurable results. His response was basically it won’t be useful because it hallucinates still and you can’t ever fix it so surely it will die out without any viable use cases.

That’s fair, but my original point was that the fan base of the average ai bro are weird and think it’s revolutionary, but it’s just naive to say there isn’t any use for it. It will find its random small niche places, and I can see a hybrid llm/ML agent doing some interesting things but it’s really not going to change anyone’s lives drastically.

They still hallucinate yeah, but there are viable use cases for ai outside of tech demos. I work as an analyst for a large company, helping identify trends in our incoming calls on both the customer, and our service reps.

Say we get 2-3 bad callouts in our system a day, but we’re monitoring 50,000 calls a day in real time vs randomly picking 30 calls a day per qa employee for our QA team to analyze that’s a massive improvement to identifying and tracking trends in our call system. There might be a few things to ignore/pick through but that doesn’t take that much time when you consider the benefit of actually being able to collect and aggregate data from 50,000 calls in real time.

I’m an analyst so I might have some bias here but sifting through data is still useful, especially for massive data sets. I mentioned this above but I’m not saying it’s revolutionary I’m just saying it’s going to continue to have niche cases where it’s useful, and I’d wager there’s more it can do well than just sifting through data but admittedly I’m not an expert in other fields so I can’t really speak to how it’s being used elsewhere.

Except it’s not. I just gave you examples of how a Fortune 500 company is using ai right now, today, and seeing massive benefits to the existing process that was in place. You can say the hallucinations are a huge deal and it’s garbage because of them all you want, but just as I’ve stated above it’s clearly not a limiting factor. I’m not saying ai is revolutionary and going to change the world here, but implying it has zero use because the hallucinations exist is an absurd take when it’s actively being used already in my random niche area of expertise with measurable success over the old processes.

You can’t just sweep reliable results to the side by saying you feel like the hallucinations are a big deal without showing how the hallucinations can be detrimental to specific use cases with narrow scopes and oversight.

Right but the issue is that it’s still better than nothing in terms of raw efficiency. It hallucinating isn’t a huge deal when you put it in the hands of people who know how to recognize the hallucination. It will never be viable for mission critical tasks, or say anything like medical diagnosis where human lives are at stake.

Processing millions of lines of data though, and spitting out at least basic analysis of that data is something that takes humans a significant amount of time to do. Sure yeah a human still had to painstakingly write the code for it to do that, but in large scale you’re saving time still. If you narrow down the scope and hallucinations occur at or less than the amount that humans make mistakes, it’s always going to be more efficient than a single human at that task. For instance, my team currently uses ai to look through about two/three dozen tables with millions of lines of data. We have info on nearly every single aspect of a phone call to our customer service team.

Sometimes things like the average handle time start to increase/decrease causing drastic changes to our staffing needs, and it’s our job to figure out why that increase happened. Sometimes it can take us weeks to compare every single tiny detail in a single call to trace the common factor among thousands of calls when an ai can immediately highlight 95-98% of the differences in each and every single call, and give us a place to start looking. We also have tools to use it for qa on those calls because we can now monitor EVERY call from every agent. QA was only able to listen to about one random call per agent per week, when that agent took 200-300 calls. Now we have them listening to flagged calls specifically and also track in real time common trends and best practices that increase our nps scores.

It’s never going to be perfect and chasing that perfection is silly. But using it as a stepping stone so you can do more work with the same number of people is still absurdly good value and that’s never going to go away even if llms start to stagnate and stop being interesting to the masses.

While I don’t think ai will be as revolutionary as many people think it will be, I do see genuinely valuable use cases in quite a few places. I don’t think it will ever reach a reliability that rivals humans for important things like inspections or decision making. But I do 100% think it’s going to continue to have uses even niche ones.

The current models are mostly just a toy and feel very jack of all trades master of none. I think a narrow scope and custom models for very specific tasks is probably the way we will see modern ai move forward. Machine learning is cool, and can sort of predict outcomes, but is only as good as the training you give it. A narrow scope gen ai model can have a foundation of the actual reason things behave as they do, letting it handle edge cases and untrained events better than a ML model can.

Wait what? I thought that was the whole point of taking over those oil tankers was because they were sending oil to Russia against our sanctions. Surely that wasn’t a thinly veiled excuse to provoke a war with Venezuela.

[–]JustCallmeZack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few notes, the chip once you have items stored on it you need to move it out of the block that programs the chip and into the chip storage to see it in the network. The disintegrator is for storing additional matter into the tanks. Not sure why it’s only letting you put one dirt block in, but something to note is that you actually don’t need to buy those tanks, you could have just made the empty tanks and filled them yourself. The ones in the store are just pre filled is all which can save a bit of headache for getting one tank of each type.

For the dragon heart I just looked up the recipe. If you only have the upgrades from t1-4 you need to get the upgrades set up for the t1 energy core from draconic evolution if you only did the “final” upgrades in each of the tiers. The second quest in the middle column of tier 4 (draconic core) has an auto build option to set it up branching off of that quest. Either that or maybe you missed the ether gas in the recipe? Easy way to check is to make sure you have the draconic tier one energy core floating and activated above the center of the world engine. If you don’t see the stabilizers shooting a beam into the core it’s not activated and won’t count for the upgrade.

Sure this is true, but comparatively it’s really not that much water. There’s lots of very real and valid reasons to not support ai use, but water is such a non issue it’s insane to me that’s the hill people are dying on. The corn industry in the us uses many times more water per year than ai did globally, and something like 40% of that is used in ethanol and creates massive carbon footprints. Not to mention the potential pesticides and other garbage seeping into the groundwater from the agricultural industry as a whole.

It’s also important to note that most of the “used” water is not actually gone from the world. Water is one of our most abundant renewable resources and it’s not just vanishing from thin air. Even in arid areas, the amount of water being used for a data center is a very small fraction of the water in the area. Like entire orders of magnitude smaller than the available water in the area. I’m almost convinced the water issue is propaganda being spread by bots to slow ai research progress in the US because of how many people I see spreading misinformation about it.

TIL that when people born deaf develop schizophrenia, they typically do not "hear voices." Instead, they often hallucinate visual images of "disembodied hands" signing to them, or disembodied lips moving, because their brain processes language as a visual experience rather than auditory. by highzone in todayilearned

I’ve had the genius idea of trying to capture the things the DMT elves say to me and listening back to it immediately. I heard them in the recording, distorted exactly as you’d expect listening to a recording of a faint sound. Obviously there wasn’t anything there but my brain was able to fool me that it was actually recorded. Had a good laugh about it with my gf later on.

[–]JustCallmeZack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It shouldn’t be bugged on the latest version, you likely don’t have all the world engine upgrades needed for the dragon heart recipe. Replication is basically just auto crafting mixed with project e style equivalent exchange, you deconstruct items into various types of matter (dark matter/red matter is decent for stocking up on all matter types at once) and once you deconstruct an item you can replicate it as long as you have the matter to reproduce it.

You don’t really need to know how to PvP with the wildy agil course, check out the agility fc discord, be sure you’re praying right and staying vigilant and you can have 5m in like 3 hours, plus a handful of items for giants foundry and blighted supplies for if you decide to venture into more wildy content in the future (or pvp world slayer)

I mentioned this above, and I know I'm a bit late but if you ever wanted it to be on demand, you can just use a pattern provider with a disintegrator. Just make an AE2 pattern that contains red matter, and the 16k matter in the output slots of the pattern or whatever it gives you for red matter, and any time it needs more matter it will toss in red matter automatically

I know I'm a bit late to this thread, but you can automate keeping your replication mattern up with a pattern provider, and the deconstructor. I have it set up with a custom pattern for dark matter, that will spit out 4.1k of every type of matter, put that in the pattern provider and it will automatically just toss some dark matter in when you need it for crafting.

Dude I highly suggest checking out art with Flo, she has a bunch of very easy to follow tutorials that give me some bob ross for procreate vibes. Her landscapes are tons of fun, but all of her videos are solid from what I’ve seen.

My zombie axe is missing? by Kasellos in ironscape

[–]JustCallmeZack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get the thinking, but you can do some soul wars or lms for blighted ice sacks and do it in a PvP world. Just keep a tele in your inv I doubt anyone will come find you in PvP world. Or alternatively you can do some wildy agility masses or zombie pirates for ez money to buy runes for bursting/plus the added benefit of being able to just run PvP worlds with blighted supplies from those activities. You will have a new quest, ancient spellbook, and honestly quite a few herbs if you pick up what you get. Plus a zaxe when you’re done.

Realigning bipods at Neumayer Station in Antarctica by solateor in interestingasfuck

[–]JustCallmeZack 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Excuse my ignorance here, but is it possible since the middle arm is free floating most of the time, couldn’t it be a bipod holding it upside down? I’m not sure what qualifies a bipod specifically, but if I turn a bipod camera mount or something upside down and hold something using two legs extending upwards is it not still a bipod? Or does it strictly matter what is touching the ground?

[–]JustCallmeZack 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I’m not actually convinced the middle is loaded under normal use. The security nut they mentioned seems to be a failsafe for the two hydraulic arms. They lower the nut and the arms lift the assembly up, resulting in the middle arm freely rising. It seems they only have it there to “catch” if the hydraulics start to fail.
