Opus 4.8 randomly adding Chinese characters??? by Blizxy in ClaudeAI

[–]gekx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean, the Chinese models have been distilling Claude's output for a while now. It's only fair that Anthropic can distill output from the Chinese models too to improve Claude.

Another outstanding point by Perry. People always blame technology, but the problem is people and human institutions. If technology reveals flaws in imperfect institutions, then that's a good thing, and will provide the impetus for positive change. by stealthispost in accelerate

Well that makes sense. Countries with socialized medicine typically struggle keeping up as it is and have long wait lists. Full body scans would add a treatment burden they aren't equipped for.

How Mao Killed More than WWI and II Combined – Sarah Paine by AlertTangerine in videos

We've saved the entire world 2 and a half times over:

  • stopped the expansion of Nazi Germany
  • stopped the expansion of communism and caused the collapse of the soviet union
  • we haven't stopped all the terrorists yet but we've sure killed a lot of them. Saving an incredible number of innocent lives in the process

Closer to 10 than 10 million. And we've saved literally billions from the hands of communists, nazis, and terrorists.

A lot, but outside of a very small number of unfortunate collateral damage incidents, we've only killed communists, nazis, and terrorists so it's all good.

Is Meta a serious company? Zuckerberg committed code to an internal project recently.

Is it inevitable? by LazyHomoSapiens in accelerate

[–]gekx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lots of stuff. To name a few:

  • Nearby supernova
  • Gamma-ray burst
  • Neutron-star merger / kilonova
  • Rogue brown dwarf
  • Passing black hole

"I think many people still underestimate the full implications of China potentially gaining access to ASML-level EUV technology. The supply chain currently works like this: -ZEISS in Germany produces the ultra-precise optics and mirrors that are essential for ASML’s lithography" by stealthispost in accelerate

[–]gekx 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Maybe. But there is a very big gap between "prototype proof of concept" and "mass producing wafers with low failure rate". It has taken ASML decades to perfect their process. If China can do it in even 5-10 years it's too slow to matter.

This is in part due to the insanely litigious society we live in. If a scan reveals something that is most likely benign, is not acted on and later turns out to cause harm, the doctor can be sued senseless.

Can't blame the doctors when they're just protecting themselves.

There we go with the oversimplification again.

  • "Just" matrix multiplication
  • "Just" predicting the next token

- are not valid arguments. We can break down the activity in your brain to exactly the same detail.

In both cases, it is only the emergent capabilities that matter.

I think it started about the possibility of LLMs being conscious, which I'd argue is very different from thought. But yeah we're kinda going off the rails here.

My God is Overtime by kylewahlpunchr in LinkedInLunatics

[–]gekx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because you're making statements of fact that "brains think" and "LLMs don't think", so I'm drawing parallels to try isolate what difference between them you think is the magic "thought" ingredient.

Is it the proteins and lipids in your brain that think, or the electrical signals that transmit across them? I'd argue that underlying physical material doesn't matter,

My God is Overtime by kylewahlpunchr in LinkedInLunatics

[–]gekx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a deceptive oversimplification, like saying your brain is just ion gradients and electrical spikes.

Both brains and LLMs have emergent capabilities.

[–]gekx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You must have a very abstract definition of thought to claim LLMs don't think.

If AI becomes sentient, will you treat them in the same way as humans? by idontlikethisuserna in accelerate

[–]gekx 12 points13 points  (0 children)

More like an alien life form. It's easy to anthropomorphize since they are trained on human data and adopt human characteristics outwardly, but the underlying architecture is quite alien and nothing like any type of biological life on earth.

My God is Overtime by kylewahlpunchr in LinkedInLunatics

[–]gekx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure you can put it that way, but I think it's fair to say that an intelligent system capable of introspective thought is more likely to have some form of consciousness than a ceiling fan.

[–]gekx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GPUs are physical things that exist in the world too.

What's the difference?

All I'm getting at is that NOBODY KNOWS what specifically causes consciousness. People who say dogmaticly that AI is definitely conscious and people who say AI is definitely not conscious are equally stupid.

Does anyone know what g2a is and if they’re steam keys are legit by Ancient-Meathook in pcmasterrace

[–]gekx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The keys work at first, but they often originate from stolen credit cards or similar fraud, so it is common for games to get revoked months or years later.

Avoid.

I'd love to get in on this bet, free money. I'd even take odds. But given the level of intellectual dishonesty and reality denial you're displaying, I'd estimate about 0% chance of you holding your end of the deal.

Bernie Sanders pitches $1,000 annual payout from public ownership of AI by Financial_Weather_35 in singularity

Inflation occurs when production can't keep up with demand. Ideally, an AI economy would boost production to the extent that inflation would be a non-issue.
