I assume everyone is good untill they give me a reason to think otherwise. However, for me to know that someone truly is a good person takes years of knowing and interacting with them.

Ads work. Consumer behavior is among the most studied phenomenoms in the world.

I hear a lot of people worrying about this being the case in the future but I don’t remember hearing anyone claiming that about our current LLMs.

Must be nazi propaganda then

Population decline is going to be a massive problem in the not too far future yet hardly anyone is talking about it.

LLMs are AI - always have been. The term “artificial intelligence” has always been broad in computer science: it covers anything that performs a cognitive task normally requiring human intelligence. A chess engine from 1999 is AI. A spam filter is AI. An LLM is AI. Narrow AI, sure, but still AI.

The confusion comes from people equating “AI” with sci-fi AGI (human-level general intelligence, HAL/JARVIS/Skynet/etc.). That’s a specific subset, not the whole category. When companies say “AI-powered” they’re not claiming AGI - they’re saying the product uses machine learning or pattern recognition in some way. Marketing inflates the language, yes, but the underlying tech is real and fits the definition.

If/when we reach actual AGI, it will be a civilization-level shift - far beyond today’s spell-checker-that-sometimes-hallucinates. People will look back and say “we had AI for years,” but they’ll mean narrow tools, not the thing that can invent new science or run a company autonomously. The goalposts aren’t moving; the hype is just using the broad term loosely.

“Don’t recommend this channel” feature exists and works.

This is one of the things LLMs are actually pretty good at. Just don’t blindly trust its output.

Even broke the warranty seal over the USB port.

Either you’re talking confidently about something you couldn’t possibly know, or you’re risking the rest of your life in prison for leaking top-secret military info. Which is it?

It was Dutch F-35s that shot down the Russian drones over Poland. It could’ve just as well been a Russian fighter jet they scrambled to intercept.

Yeah, they do need a stealth jet. Stealth is what lets you fire your missiles before the enemy even knows you’re there.

I’ve yet to figure out a good way to carry a bit driver with me but if I had one I’d use it a ton. Just like I do flashlight now.

Radiator bleed-screw tool on my keyring.

I’m a plumber by training.

Just create it, and if there’s demand, people will show up. There are a few communities meant for advertising new ones, but simply posting there yourself will also make it appear in the “All” feed for people browsing that.

There’s only so much you can do to grow it. Lemmy is still a pretty small platform with a limited audience, and I’m getting the sense that cage fighting isn’t exactly close to most people’s hearts around here.

I love this.

I too hear all the sounds much more clearly now. Some of them sound quite expensive.

One day around 7 years ago I turned off the radio in my truck and I never turned it back on. I just sit in silence and I honestly prefer it that way.

Edit: to elaborate a little: I consider it almost like a meditative practice. I drive virtually every day, so this way I can quite easily force what I consider to be a healthy near-daily habit.

I do the same thing with my phone whenever I’m queuing.

I was in a relationship from 18 to 34. Now, for the first time in my entire adult life, I’m single instead of jumping straight into the next one.

No doubt there are things I miss about being in a relationship - and I still probably lean toward that being the ideal setup - but relationships have downsides too, just like being single has upsides.

I’m not sure what the final tally of that equation looks like, but every now and then I catch myself wondering whether I even need to be in a relationship at all. I spent most of my childhood practicing playing alone, and I got pretty damn good at it.

You couldn’t really warn future civilizations about the dangers of a true Artificial General Intelligence - because there probably wouldn’t be any future civilizations.

And even that assumes the problem magically solves itself once humans disappear, which it wouldn’t. A real AGI would be perfectly capable of continuing to exist without us around.

Ah, or mAh might be a little confusing though - two different batteries can have the same Ah rating but wildly different capacities.

I always convert everything to watt-hours by multiplying ampere-hours by voltage.
