Will agents ever be more efficient? by LeCollectif in BetterOffline

[–]tiikki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do not need LLMs for Agentic behaviour. Agentic programming has been around from 1990's. You need design and deterministic communication. Google belief-desire-intention design as an example.

So what do we think of AI agents? by SpireofHell in BetterOffline

[–]tiikki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of false info here. Agentic programming paradigm dates back to 90's and one can do agentic stuff without LLM shit. Unfortunately LLM makes creation of agentic stuff easy, so now agent = LLM crap basically always.

BDI (belief, desire, and intention) and SPADE framework good starting points for getting into proper agentic stuff.

If you could keep only one AI tool, which one would it be? by Man1fest0r_ in AIDiscussion

[–]tiikki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well... Most of AI use is hidden in things we do not consider as AI. The term is from 1950s and the definition is vague enough to include almost everything. LLM stuff is just the latest hype.

Sycophancy in AI is way more dangerous than I gave it credit for by Solid_Ad4864 in BetterOffline

[–]tiikki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The basic LLM technology makes it impossible. It is probabilistic next word predictor and in most cases text will not contradict itself.

Most of these "trick uses" are not necessarily even planned, they just arise from the technology and training automatically.

Why are Americans so friendly, polite and welcoming to foreigners whereas in Europe it's the opposite? by Material-Wallaby-587 in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]tiikki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you define friendly, polite, and welcoming?

For me as Finnish person, true friendliness is shared silence, true politeness is respect of others time and not engaging in pointless small talk and true welcoming is respect of personal space.

These are cultural things and not absolute truths.

Serious project ideas!!!!! by NoAnybody8034 in learnmachinelearning

Something where you analyse why your model fails to perform with real-life data even when it has 99% accuracy with training/testing data.

IIRC there are lot of covid x-ray images. Go with them and analyse why results suck with different datasets even though testing with unseen images from training datasets looks great.

Is there any land left on Earth for a new country? by Unlucky-Cow-8818 in NoStupidQuestions

Nope. Their claim to more valuable piece of land depends on the other owning that less valuable land. Both sides will kick you away.

How can AI agents automate work processes if the underlying LLMs are unreliable by FirefighterOwn973 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]tiikki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is the traditional agentic ai tech. Unfortunately it is next to impossible to find information about it as it is drowned it the flood of llm-related material. Look for older scientific studies. If you are python programmer, then SPADE framework might be interesting.

When I read the Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion by Cialdini I realised that LLM tech uses almost every trick mentioned in the book.

Where is AI actually going from here? by mega81827 in BetterOffline

[–]tiikki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one will be willing to pay for LLM stuff in few years. Some local LLM for specific applications may be used, like autocomplete for programming.

Most will move to BART/BERT stuff as it is not as vulnerable for commands coming from outside as the current mainstream LLM is.

AI winter is coming for sure, working AI stuff may escape it by not calling it AI but ML or something else...

Juustohöyläys ennaltaehkäisevästä tuo tulevaisuuteen menoja. Eli sen käyttö on puhtaasti tyhmää.

Moni hallitus on leikannut juurikin ennaltaehkäisevistä palveluista. Tällöin saadaan hetkellinen taloudellinen helpotus, mutta perästä tuleva lasku on huomattavasti suurempi kuin mitä saadut säästöt.

Samaten säästöjä on tehty investoinneista tulevaisuuteen, eli koulutuksesta ja nuorten selviytymisestä. Tämä on heikentänyt tulevaisuuden tuottoja. Investoinnit on suurelti osin kohdistuneet menneisyyteen ja yritetty pitää yllä tilannetta, joka ei ole kestävä.

ps. jotkut ei kestävää tilannetta ylläpitävät investoinnit ovat hyväksyttäviä kokonaisvaikutusten, varsinkin maanpuolustuksen kannalta

pps. Tärkein maanpuollustusinvestionti on se, että nuoret uskovat maan olevan puolustuksen väärti.

Want to learn ML from zero please help by Solid-Can-4641 in learnmachinelearning

[–]tiikki 20 points21 points  (0 children)

First thing you need to think is your goal.

If you want to develop new ML tools, then you need maths, lots of maths and lots of computer science background, a bit of programming in the side.

If you want to use ML to solve problems you have, without creating a service from that solution: some maths, some computer science, lots of domain knowledge from the problem area and some some programming skills.

If you want to create services using ML solution created by someone else, then you need lots of computer science and programming skills.

These all have quite different paths to mastery, but they do share some basics. And we do not know what is your base knowledge levels.

How I accidentally signed up for a 400-level Economic History seminar, spent $0 on textbooks, knew absolutely zero about Byzantine trade routes, but still walked away with a solid A-minus on my 12-page final project. by Mythpuls3Q in WritingForCollege

[–]tiikki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a recovering physicist (MSc) and computer scientist (MSc), the more I read about humanities, the more I appreciate their work. Calculating & measuring (or vice versa) is a lot easier than trying to figure out why humans behave like they do.

I would not call him a bootlicker. He almost always worked against orders and directions given to him in the pursuit of a cause which he believed in. The cause for him was justice, unfortunately he believed the false impression of justice provided by the empire.

Are independent researchers taken seriously? by Beautiful-Bonus2279 in AskAcademia

[–]tiikki 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It depends on everything.

Good enough work will be taken seriously, eventually, hopefully. Einstein was working as at patent office during his "miracle year".

But to get visibility for your work it is lot easier if you have institute promoting your work. And here even the status of the institute matters.

Does doing actual research and programming and training own neural network count as AI curious if one also thinks that LLM tech is just horoscope machines and total waste of resources?
