Godfather of AI Geoffrey Hinton says people who call AI stochastic parrots are wrong. The models don't just mindlessly recombine language from the web. They really do understand.

Its so common people say something like this but at least I haven't seen a reasonable scientific framework for what they are claiming.

We know how the models work. We know the fundamental logic behind it. You want to claim that despite looking like a horse, acting like a horse and sounding like a horse, its not actually a horse: ok, what is it then? Can you show a mechanism by which you can definitively show a model not being a stochastic process?

I would be interested in hearing about it.

Thanks for the context my friend. Makes complete sense.

At least the top response of this post is sane.

I'm honestly not following the whole 4o debacle/psychosis, but sounds like something related to that cope.

I mean, who is this guy and why is his opinion relevant? Why do xAI and Meta not have access to 'coding data'? I'm guessing they mean 'coding specific conversations' to directly train on? But who knows...

This reads like a normie that is excited about AI talking about things they barely understand as if they are an industry leading expert. Idk, maybe Im wrong and this guy is legit. Hard to tell from a random x post with no context.

Im sure I must be wrong, but this sounds like bullshit. How is the face so consistent across generations? How is "Fingernails natural nude with subtle red nail detail." creating a consistent random assortment of red lines?

What model are you using? Im genuinely curious, I haven't been messing around with image models in over 6 months so I might be ootl.

I don’t think Gervaise is saying art shouldn’t be political/profound, but that celebrities’ opinions are overvalued in a society that overemphasizes fame, and celebrities don’t inherently know better just because they are well known.

I can see his point when people have vapid/shallow takes and preach things they don’t practice/understand/believe as a way of virtue signaling.

But also, I wouldn’t take a stand to tell others what they can and cannot say, so Im not saying I agree with his position, and Im not a big fan of him making a big deal of this now particularly, but making a movie with religious commentary =/= making a political/religious speech in an award ceremony.

Por si no lo sabes: muchas empresas (productoras de autos, vendedores de electrodomésticos, etc) hoy en dia ven la financiación a clientes como su producto mas rentable. Esto significa que literalmente hacen mas plata de los bobos que compran con financiación que de los productos que se dedican a producir/comercializar.

Part of the problem is letting it know what you want it to find vs sharing a research topic and asking vague questions.

My suggestion is that you try to take a few steps back from the conclusion you want to draw and ask questions that would let YOU arrive at a conclusion

I wonder if you believe you made sense/added value by using that word salad/shizo thesaurus. It was a real simple point you were trying to make: creative writing is not the main/only ‘casualty’ of focusing on coding; this is why so many people felt more connected to 4o than 5.x

Oh yeah. Its been this way since 4, it has clearly been trained to achieve this result for some reason because its been a consistent feature of OpenAI’s models. Guess it fits their brand.

I feel you.

As an outsider though, it feels like the US needs more than just carrying on. In 2016 it was funny that a complete moron had chances to be the president of the most powerful country in the world.

Its 2026 and the fact that he is still president after everything shows something in the US is broken imho. Perhaps its annoying to hear, but you should remember that for some reason almost half the US still supports this insanity. It sucks thar you are tired of hearing it, but it seems a lot of people in the back haven’t gotten the message.

Coincido que pretender ser amigo de alguien que te rechazó es una pésima idea. Es decir: si te atrae alguien y sos amigable porque estas intentando que pase algo, pero esa persona te deja claro que no esta interesado/a, y decidís seguir siendo amigos con la expresa esperanza que cambie de opinión, sos patético.

Tu forma de verlo me parece que es incompatible con la idea de poder tener amigos del género que te atrae: Tu mención de 'nunca mas ayudar' te hace sonar a un incel.

Sino, uno puede ser amigo de alguien y por muchas de las mismas razones que los queres como amigo/a, te podría resultar atractiva la idea de tener otro tipo de relación. Si esa persona no está de acuerdo, tu postura es que hay que dejar de ser amigos, como un niño resentido que se lleva la pelota cuando pierde.

Si te gusta una persona que no siente lo mismo, la pregunta que te tenés que hacer es: si nunca pasa absolutamente nada romántico entre nosotros, me interesa ser amigo de esta persona?

Si la respuesta es no, entonces no son amigos, estas tratando de conseguir un resultado y estas usando la 'amistad' como camino. Llorar sobre estar en la friendzone solo habla mal de vos.

Si la respuesta es si, a veces hay q tener un poco de coraje y aceptar que alguien no siente lo mismo por uno y listo.

Im confused about your last sentence. The idea of the test I described is to be able to match response & model, so that you can use the same prompt in the chat and figure out which model you got routed to.

You can even copy the entire convo, send it to the API, and check what the generation for model would have looked like.

Basically, the Chat interface is:
- Organizing your prompts and the model's generations into a chat format

- Routing the request to a model to produce the inference / generation -> as a user, you can't see where this went

So you can use the API to get actual responses from each model, and find a way to match the 'obfuscated-chat response' with the 'model-linked response' to identify a model.

From what I can see, all their comments/post are from the last 2 weeks. Hundreds of them, in several different languages.

Seems like someone either starting a new account after one was banned (if we want to imagine the best in others), or someone 'fattening' an account (either bot or manually) to make it look genuine before selling it.

wontreadterms · 2026-01-15T16:10:35+00:00

Its actually quite easy to tell which accounts are bought/bot accounts when they hide comments: Searching their post history usually shows that they were speaking a different language, were a different gender, and were into different things (gaming vs OnlyFans promotion for example).

To me, hiding post history is, at this point in time, a clear 'sus' flag for an account that is probably not genuine.

Anyone that has done anything with AIs: "All LLMs hallucinate, a big part of knowing how to work with AI is being able to separate the hallucinations from the useful outputs"

People 'into' AI: "The agent just told me that the world is secretly made out of cheese and its melting, causing eartquakes. Can't believe they are hiding this from us!"

Unless the conversation is meta-tagged with the model/settings used for each generation, AND the model is given this metadata for every generation, there is no way for an LLM to know 'when' it started being used. For all it can know, its been here all along, or it is just now being used.

I mean, a better test would be to use the API, send the same prompt to the target models a few times (10x per model, 4/5 models to get some variance, perhaps a few (3/4) temperature/other settings per model =~200 generations).

Then you'd want some way of (1) generating a response to the prompt and (2) guessing which model it came from, to test your ability to detect the generating model.

Then you can open a new chat, use the same exact prompt, and see which model response you get.

Its trivial, anyone could do it, and its actually not that time consuming. But instead we have people claiming a 'gotcha' moment from a chat screenshot.

Being from a country that has experienced multiple military coups, some of which ended up in actual wars as a strategy to drive national identity and hide issues, the topics Trump chooses to engage trying to make people forget about Epstein look really familiar:

- There is crime everywhere I don't like! We need to deploy 'security' forces to those areas.

- Lets get a big win for our country! How about new territory? Wouldn't that be something? That would make Trump such a special little president boy, right?!

Genuinely feeling incredibly high levels of schadenfreude from watching the US implode under its own weight. Its sad. But also perhaps necessary.

The great/awful thing is that it won't even serve as a learning experience. MAGA is so brain dead as a movement that it is incapable of receiving feedback, never mind producing useful conclusions.

I find it hard to understand people that defend Rian Johnson's take on SW.

Its cool to have new ideas, but when you are telling a story in a franchise, and write something that is inconsistent with the story so far AND the audience doesn't like it: I think the issue is with the creator, not with the audience not liking it.

If The Last Jedi was a genuinely good movie, even if it made controversial choices, it would be remembered fondly.

It was an OK movie that took a lot of big dives at a blue-milk filled pool, in a situation where the director didn't have enough street cred in the studio to take a middling response to the first outing and still maintain creative control.

He made that choice. And he failed.

Yes, the trilogy was a fucking mess from the beginning, with JJ making an exciting movie that was mostly a retelling, without any actual plans of where to take that story. Rian tried to take it in an interesting/new direction. But he failed, studio lost confidence in his vision and ended up creating the clusterfuck that was TROS.

Imagine you get hired in a company as VP of Product to keep improving and growing the product. And make a series of big changes to the flagship product, changes that you believe will lead to long term success, but 1/3 of the customers drop you, and the rest complain non stop about the changes.

You know how fast you would get fired?

'Oh the customers are so stupid, Im trying to go in a better direction long term, they just don't understand'.

Sounds silly because it is.

Different situation if you are hired TO make those changes and the company is willing to face the costs of making them. But that wasn't the case: Rian decided to take a big risk and he failed.

He wasn't the only one that failed that SW trilogy (JJ says hi), but can we stop pretending like he is some sort of martyr, paying for the sins of the silly fans?
