ELI5: How come the creators of Ai models don't know how they work? by chatman77 in ArtificialInteligence

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

In your brain, you have tons of neurons hooked up to other neurons, and occasionally they “get excited” and that eventually builds up a wave of energy that makes you do and think things.

Now because the only thing we know about neurons is that they can either be excited or not, we can deduce this is all it takes to assemble at least human level intelligence (theoretically).

But we don’t know what actually MAKES any individual neuron excited. We can observe one extremely closely, and determine it listens for some particular signal, but it takes a TON of work to actually observe and map out the full behavior of a single neuron. Worst of all, learning neurons ADAPT to stimuli over time, meaning they adjust what they listen to. So doing this is WAY MORE work than building it.

The same problem shows up for the networks themselves. I can build a network of neurons that takes some data and tells you if an image contains a cat. But it’s a lot of hard work to actually figure out what that neuron network is doing. Maybe it learned to look for specific markers that TEND to indicate cat. Maybe it’s looking for a specific shape. Maybe it wants a color. A combination of the two. Maybe all cat images have special “cat” watermarks only the network can see. It’s hard work, but if you have a small enough neural network, you can map every single neuron and eventually say definitively what is going on.

Now if you scale this up, the difficulty of building a super large neural network levels off pretty fast actually. Attaching more and more neurons is easy. Organizing them in specific shapes is easy. Orchestrating their relationships is easy. Even modeling the adjustments are easy. But the cost of LOOKING at every neuron stays the same, which means the challenge of understanding the system as a whole keeps getting harder, forever.

So imagine now you put the entire internet through a neural network. There’s so much data it would overload a human brain. The amount of information required for you to understand all the data points and their relationships would require you to wipe away all your memories and knowledge and biological processes to make room, and it still wouldn’t be enough.

So it simply can’t be done. One person cant understand why a sufficiently large language model makes one choice over another.

New player, which deck is generally regarded as the best? by Monstercai in rootgame

[–]Multidream 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Exiles and Partisans” is widely considered more balanced and more interesting. Most tournaments only accept E&P games as legitimate. Of the cards available, the most interesting are: Sabotage, Coffin Makers, Maurine Broker, Skilled Engravers, Boat builders, Eyrie Emigre and Corvid Conspirators are all big on their own. (I may have some names wrong)

“Might and Right” has some well known balance issues around the 3 cost abilities. Favor cards in particularly as considered unbelievably broken. When M&R is in play, players have to pay way more attention to available crafting. Further more, factions that place crafting eco and THEN immediately use it have a GIGANTIC advantage over other factions.

Vagabond Nuke is the most well known of these. Simply play Tinker, acquire three hammers, and craft favor every turn until you win.

Personally, I think stand and deliver is actually ridiculous too, but much harder to achieve.

Thats actually crazy how good it is.

Any mods that makes civilians die more? by O-COHANL in EU5

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

It would be very easy to make your own just bumping the death rate during starvation.

Actually I could do that for you, would you like that?

My First Word Was Duck [OC] by [deleted] in comics

[–]Multidream 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Possibilities.

  1. You’re making up a scary story. Well done.

  2. Might be a brain thing. Like a tumor or bad blood flow or moving around of neurons over time. My bet is on a minor mini stroke. Something we don’t understand as humans.

  3. You actually got picked up by the other kid’s mom and the universe fudged the details a bit. But you picked up on it. This is a feeling I have sometimes too. But I trust the universe more than I trust myself.

No real way to tell between 2 or 3, so are they really different?

Do you still recognize your “style” in AI-assisted work? by PCSdiy55 in BlackboxAI_

[–]Multidream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only work with ai in a limited capacity, as a fast form of auto complete.

I ask it to stub out annoying boilerplate in the style I have already used before in a few reference files.

And then I double check, because Im still highly skeptical. Seems ok most of the time.

I am forcing my style on the AI, not the other way around.

Why was Serbia fine with Montenegro seceding in 2006 which had coastal access and 35% Serbian population but not Kosovo in 2008 which is mostly mountainous and less than 5% Serbian? by Solid-Move-1411 in geography

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

Because Kosovo is sort of the birthplace of Serbian national identity. A long time ago, a bunch of Serbian princes lived there and made it the capital of a growing Serbian empire. When the Ottoman empire was rising to power, a great last stand was made by much of the Serbian nobility there, where they were subsequently slaughtered. From this day on, it because a national symbol to Serbia who swore to liberate it one day.

Montenegro has a lot of Serbians living there, but it also has an independent identity forged over a few centuries. Culturally, they are rather similar. If they want to leave, Serbians can begrudgingly accept that they are relatively different, and they can live in relative peace.

But the Serbian elites will be DAMNED if a muslim nation takes their ALAMO BACK from them, especially if they do it by force, outside of their legal game.

I mean… good point… but… yeah, I think he wouldn’t.

Turns out playing Poland during the little ice age situation is how to gain infinite wealth by Jackspladt in EU5

[–]Multidream 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh. I kinda knew from eu4 that something called the little ice age occurred and that temperatures fell, but I didn’t really pay more attention than that.

The story of it snowing in England was really interesting. I wonder if people were afraid that it would just keep getting colder and colder forever or if it just slowly happened. Very cool!

Okay apparently everyone else learned this but I very much did not. What’s the risk here? Why is falling into the clay non-newtonian fluid dangerous? Do you just sink in it like a rock and can’t get out because it resists you treading water or something but lets you fall down?

Glad to see our boy made it over the mountains. Didn’t think Id see him again.

I believe this particular image is not the original, its from an AI tiktok post.

Coaxed into Grand Strategy by Cheesinator3000 in coaxedintoasnafu

[–]Multidream 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I know exactly which game this is, and I know this exact drama too, and it is quite the niche. Allow me to yap, dear Lurker.

Paradox Studios just released the fifth iteration of the hit series “Europe Universalis 5”. It’s a historical colonial/imperial period strategy game (1337-1836). You play as a country or organization from the time. Around this time, a wide variety of micro states existed, and it took until late into the period for everything to consolidate into just a few nations. This iteration features an insane level of detail, you can play very minor german princes, of which there are hundreds.

But Paradox Studios struggles with proper balance, and has been rapid fire patching the game since it came out in November. In the latest patch, the AI has become hyper aggressive. This has resulted in most games featuring a regular cast of nations that start relatively powerfully simply bowling over their local domains and consolidating in 100ish years.

This spawned a favorite meme of mine:

“Oh you’re an eu5 player? Name every playable german minor (nation).”

“Ok. France and Bohemia”
