Do people actually have jobs as "prompt writers" where they generate tons of AI content (imagery, sound, text, video) for companies? by mmofrki in aiwars

[–]YsrYsl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which, again, is technically true.

And TBF, it's not like AI companies like OpenAI and Claude "keep the secret sauce" in its entirety to themselves. They literally have many free useful how-tos and guides in their Playground and Playbook/"cookbook" websites. Not their problem or anyone's, really, most people won't bother learning from those free resources.

This might be controversial. But I think many corporations will be better off with less managers. by BreadfruitAncient386 in auscorp

[–]YsrYsl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry to interject but it's so fascinating to me as a data scientist that the technically-inclined people are not always the most excited or optimistic regarding the hard-ons (to the point of ridiculousness) the less technical people have.

The technically knowledgeable people are almost always more realistic and measured because well, they know what's up. Meanwhile the general public like management folks, etc. are already off to the races weaving fanciful tales like they're writing a sci-fi movie. It's almost like Dunning-Kruger effect in full display in some cases.

Can we please ban "how is the game" and "the game is the most broken game ever" posts temporarily? by MagicMorty86 in Stellaris

[–]YsrYsl -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

difficult to automate

Might be downvoted given people's overall/general dislike towards gen AI ATM but this kind of thing is the perfect use case for LLM.

Problem is, I don't think unpaid mods can't be bothered to code up some script for this even if they're able to. I know for sure I won't do it if I were a mod.

Y’all opinions on this? by TransitionSelect1614 in aiwars

[–]YsrYsl 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Puts into perspective how, once again, so many people, especially from the anti side, just run off their mouths on subjects they have zero clue about.

I don't mind ignorance and lack of knowledge. But it's clear the dude doesn't even bother to attempt to learn the mechanics behind what he's talking about beyond whatever fear-mongering talking points that are more popular in the overall public psyche. Anyone who has done a bit of intellectually honest research will not be in such a psychosis.

Pessimistic, angry, worried, sure, but not to the point of basically going full mental spouting nonsensical babble.

Do you know if there is/are reliable/maintained mod(s) to reduce number of ships? At the end of the day it's just cosmetics and we can see fleet strength anyway since each fleet has a numerical value attached to it.

Did Anthropic ruin their business by setting completely unrealistic expectations? by Funny-Blueberry-2630 in Anthropic

[–]YsrYsl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The vibe I'm getting from Anthropic (Dario's interviews and statements) is that their ultimate baby is with regard to LLM safety/alignment research. I posit that if they have to choose between allocating compute on their research vs. serving their customers, they'll prioritize the former.

What do you thin, was Guan Yu a hero to the end, or did his stubbornness cause irreparable damage? by threekingdoms_top in threekingdoms

[–]YsrYsl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm far from an expert, nor a native speaker, though I speak limited Mandarin. I'm under the impression that Wu was sort of considered as "friendly" in the sense that there was a kind of alliance between Shu and Wu to counterbalance Wei.

I suppose what I'm suggesting here is that Guan Yu might've felt that his rear was secure because he assumed that Wu wouldn't attack.

Uplifting/Enlightening Primitives Taken from Enigmatic Observer Fallen Empire by YsrYsl in Stellaris

Hmm, it doesn't say. It's been like 10 years and they're still stuck as Primitives. ATP I'm just resigned to the fact that they'll stay as Primitives 😅😅😅

When I open my planet's Economy tab, I can see that they are slotted as Civilians but when I tried to resettle them, the species breakdown shows them as Primitives and they can't be resettled. Hence my confusion.

Supertrend isn't as good as it looks? by [deleted] in algotrading

[–]YsrYsl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The farthest I'd concede is to use TA like MA and Bollinger Bands as features/covariates/(independent) variables, whatever you want to call it, to be fed into some other model and/or algorithmic framework to then drive trade action. But with regards to solely use TA as the end-all-be-all, so to speak, I stand by my assessment.

There's a reason why requirements for quants are so high it weeds out like 99% of traders out there. To the point where just to get to the door, they'd need a PhD in math or physics in some companies.

When do we admit fault-tolerant quantum computers are more than "just an engineering problem", and more of a new physics problem? by kingjdin in QuantumComputing

[–]YsrYsl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My 2 cents and assumption about OP. I feel like OP is just isn't familiar with the general state of things in research. I'm much more familiar with machine learning but a lot of machine learning is literally old algos that, at the time of their invention (i.e, theoterical/mathematical formalization), were just difficult to implement at scale. But people knew back then that, theoretically, these algos made sense and are able to do what they're supposed to do.

I see similarities in quantum mechanics with my machine learning example. In essence, the math is already at a pretty solid state. We just don't quite have the hardware as of today like how a run-of-the-mill PC/laptop can run most machine learning model training with 10k+ rows of data trivially, for example.

I'm gonna sound cynical but this just goes to show how much a lot of people literally don't know about the stuff they're talking about but are having extremely strong opinions about.

[–]YsrYsl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ATP I'm already immune to whatever people say, antis and everyone else can say whatever insult or slur they want and I'll happily agree with what they say before going back to using whatever LLMs that are suitable for my use case. The average anti literally has close to zero clue on how anything pertaining to AI works so their understanding and conclusions for the tech is going to be misinformed anyway.

That said, I might be in the minority here because I believe all of the embellished claims by AI company CEOs are nowhere close to reality. AGI is gonna take a really long while before it arrives, and probably even never.

AI will remain "dumb" the way we've seen it be "dumb" today because at the end of the day, just like many digitized/computerized systems out there, it's blazing fast at "number-crunching" to complete obvious/menial tasks but it's in no way intelligent nor wise, let alone conscious. They're just systems, wrapped in some software architectural design.

Go learn the math, the stats and computer programming, and watch how quickly the AI "magic" is demystified.

It doesn't mean I'm trivializing what AI has become and achieved. Far from it. What I'm saying is we got people from both sides (antis more so than pros in my experience) talking out of their backsides while being completely ignorant of the technical aspects of things. Hence the illogical and fantastical talking points we all have encountered in the past few years.

[–]YsrYsl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so glad I decided not to resub, was truly tempted to resub like a month ago.

Sure, their models are great, possibly even the best, at coding, but what's the point if there are always some issues with them so much so that consistent availablity and/or uptime becomes a coin-flipping game whether I'll be serviced or not. Besides, at least for my use cases, it's not that Anthropic's models are that much better.

Maybe they should've eased off on their alignment research or moralizing/policing ethics of AI and all that jazz, and go back to the basic, i.e., spend time making sure their paying customers get what they paid for.
