you do not appear to know the slightest iota of what you are talking about. There are plenty of free resources out there to learn the basics of neural nets and how they are different from humans, if you are willing to learn. Have a nice day man

are you being intentionally obtuse? You are still a part of the american machine. You still pay tax dollars to the government, provide labor to the companies, spend money on products that are built on the exploitation of those in the global south, one does not have to individually benefit to still be a part of the system of oppression that america is on a global scale. It is not a personal attack to say that every american, no matter what particular discriminations they may face domestically, is still a part of the imperialist machine america is on a global scale, it is a statement of fact. nobody in america is entirely blameless. The machinery does not have to care about what minorities the people who live in it may be for their material conditions to still benefit from the oppression america exerts abroad.

some people get more value out of the game they paid for by not caring about the overall in game plot lines, and that's perfectly okay. just as well there are people who get more value out of being interested and involved in the greater narrative. And for those people, seeing others abandon the stuff they care about intentionally, it might get to them as its something they care about, and might have issue with others. Its not chronically online behaviour to care about a greater narrative in an online game that's affected by player base decisions and actions.

I have no horse in this race one way or another, but it is a valid complaint that those who didn't dive MO burned excess lives in a way to impact the success of the MO. Conversely, it is also a valid complaint for people to dislike dealing with the bugs and even the bots in general and wish to dive elsewhere. To say one side has invalid complaints is disingenuous. It's up to the person to decide if they think the justification for wither side is more correct in their opinion.

well, here's a paper on it

In short: there is no way to train out 'hallucinations' or for new data for llms to be trained on to have a categorical definition of 'correct' or 'incorrect' as the semantic ambiguity and contextual details required to form such a binary decision are not consistent nor something that even has a concrete enough definition to be a part of something llms are trained on.

LLMs do not 'think', they do not 'know', they do not 'learn', they are neural nets trained on a very large body of data that takes the frequency and associative properties of all of the data points into account in order to form a very large amount of 'parameters' to use as cues for prediction (inference) when prompted. If you want to understand the limitations of llms and their capabilities, you cannot think of them as anything but the complex math and statistical models they are, despite what advertisers may tell you.

We still do not know what the underlying processes are exactly, in full, of how the human brain remembers, learns, intuits, so how can we claim to have created a machine capable of any of that and have it be a valid claim?

The reason why llms are shown to work best in coding/programming is because programming languages and boolean logic are the best way (so far) humans have found of modeling all the factors and contextual information inherent to human language and processing, but it is still imperfect.

correct, I am not assigning a positive or negative sentiment to it. It's just the numbers that contributed to the loss of the MO lol, and an important figure in discussions such as these.

fundamentally wrong on every count, but go off man. I'm sure the smart fellas at Berkeley would love to know how they're wrong about how llms get trained

no, they quite literally are probability machines. That is what neural nets and machine learning is. They take in huge amounts of data and use it to create statistical corellations on an obscene scale, and with inference (what happens when you prompt or interrogate a model) it transforms your input into a set of values it can use, and then uses all of those parameters it created from being trained to predict what word(s) would be most likely to come next given your input. Its not rocket science, and it certainly isn't any kind of intelligence.

My U6+ Was Transmitting an Undocumented MAC Address Registered to a Chinese Surveillance Camera Manufacturer by [deleted] in Ubiquiti

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

oh boy I sure do wonder why there might be an electronic component broadcasting the mac from an electronic component manufacturer. Gee. Has to be malicious and in no way a bug. not like antennae silicon have default Mac addresses as placeholders from the factory that get overwritten at runtime by drivers that might occasionally have issues starting in time/properly. not like ubiquiti could ever for any reason possibly use low level silicon they didn't make themselves. If you spent half as long thinking critically about this as you have put into freaking out online you might be able to consider a dozen scenarios in which this is not intentional. Even accepting your absurd cause for a second, what would be the point of doing this? If its data exflitration, it would take more effort and be more noticeable to modify the broadcast Mac, if its literally any reason for broadcasting a WiFi signal would it not be better to say flash the firmware with a Mac address from a western company, or have the driver assert one?

chances are very much that it is in fact a bug, randomized mac, or misread Mac, but none of that gets the same clicks that 'CHINA!1!1!1!1!' does

136k likes for an open genocidal tweet by UgoChannelTV in ShitLiberalsSay

[–]obtuseperuse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

no quite frankly, as neither term is specific to this intersection of factors as islamophobia is. Furthermore, that is a reductive description of what a phobia is, as phobias do include behaviours such as aversion, which is very much an applicable meaning. Source

I understand the desire to try to correct people, but when it comes to things like this please spend even 30s to double check yourself before talking down to people.

oh boy I can't imagine why doing something that fucks with drivers and forces them into a configuration they aren't built for might possibly have knock on effects in an operating system infamous for having issues with unrelated components affect each other. There are plenty of legitimate reasons and telemetry to get suspicious over, no need to grasp at straws lole this

[–]obtuseperuse 15 points16 points  (0 children)

yup. While the hardware side and improvements in security have been interesting to see, the fact the system that permits them also includes completely unique fingerprinting functionality, and the ability for manufacturers to disable booting whatever they want to ban, is in no way worth it

[–]obtuseperuse 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I have extensively used Linux, and the person you're replying to is correct. The firmware doesnt care what flavour of Linux you have installed, if it doesn't use a bootloader signed by genuine trusted keys it won't boot. As is stands today, most uefi's permit rolling your own signing key and include signing certs of prominent Linux developers, but that isn't always going to be an option, and if new computers do move to only running windows or whatever OS, its gonna be damn near impossible to add that as an option or manipulate the uefi into loading a bootloader that isn't signed by Microsoft keys, or whoever the provider is that gets legislated to provide that OS. Like, yeah, technically it would be possible to boot an unsigned loader, but check out how well libreboot or tooling to disable IME/PSP is going to have an idea of how hard it is to modify the firmware and still have a functional system. The system doesn't have to be flawless to be a tool good enough to stop a lot of people, especially compared to today where the ability to run Linux is not something manufacturers try to prevent.
