I live in NYC, and I read this story yesterday, and they didn’t shoot the guy for hopping the turnstile / not paying the $2.90, they chased him and tried to give him a $100-150 fine; but the guy lunged at them with a knife.

The cops panicked and began firing because they don’t have H2H training, and their aim is obviously shit. It’s so shit, that I think they missed their taser shot as well before hitting random people in the crowd with their sidearms.

Not defending the police but the meme’s a gross oversimplification. Those guys need more training and probably a suspension until they finish a full course of training, or a dismissal (or perhaps even up to and including manslaughter charges) depending on if the bystanders live or not.

I wish shit like this wasn’t as common as it is. So many innocent people and dogs die each month due to police incompetence.

It’s obvious that this question was written by a child or someone learning the English language, given your spelling mistakes, grammar use and references, however:

ELI5:

The answer is yes, we can have “good AI” like JARVIS, but AI is still early and doesn’t make money for companies.

Companies make money selling a product, and AI isn’t a product because it isn’t something that belongs to them. So they sell people’s information that they get when people talk to the AI.

But that doesn’t make enough money to pay the bills for AI, so they charge subscriptions. People who pay the subscriptions want to use the AI “for evil”, as you put it.

So in the end it’s about “making money” with the AI, and JARVIS does not make them money.

If you learn a lot about computers, you’ll have your own JARVIS. I have one. It takes dedication, like anything else in life. Good luck with your school project.

Damn. Really? I guess I’m lucky. I specifically avoided watching Deep Space 9 as a kid because TNG was on.

I’ll live your dream for your buddy; I heard the show’s about a non-moving ship, which still has a captain for some reason, Benjamin Sisko or something

they live like miserable gods preoccupied with escaping from reality

It’s because they realize something as they age: For all their wealth, they are still mortal, their physical bodies will decline, and their egotistical, narcissistic lifetime will ultimately amount to absolutely nothing as they rot in the ground and cease existing like everyone else.

Mortality puts things into perspective for those people because they’re driven by a philosophical imperative that’s borderline pathological in nature:

Donald Trump watched the video of himself almost getting headshot on repeat, 9 times a day. Some said it was PTSD, but that’s assuming a lot.

Elon Musk is quoted as saying in The Atlantic that he’s “rigged for war”.

Well, what war? War against who? Against what?

"Escaping from the matrix seems like “a war against reality itself”.

We can only be so lucky that none of those fucks will ever attain apotheosis or immortality no matter how hard they try.

Maybe that’s why they’re so bent on destroying the planet – if they can’t have it, so can’t you.

That’s an interesting hypothesis you’ve cultivated. It needs additional testing, however, I’d like to add on the impact of intergenerational trauma and genetic drift, there’s systemic runoff of abuse which impacts future generations within a specific animal group, resulting in evolutionary and social adaptations.

Enough of these adaptations kill a planet or a species, I’m afraid.

It might be; I’m sitting on Windows 10 until the security expires then me and my entire “gaming” cohort are moving permanently onto Linux.

That’s like… 25 million people, at best.

Apparently the article states that the river failed E. Coli testing after heavy rainfalls, with levels detected 10 times the acceptable count.

This honestly just seems like a failure of the administration to properly take care of the athletes and wanting to go ahead with “a historic river race”.

They could have delayed or re-tested.

Olympics or not, they swam through a river of shit.

… podes

Huh. That’s strange, when I reloaded the page, there was an entirely different set of comments. Anyone know why? Lemmy shenanigans?

What is this horse shit?

Dropping out four months before a primary election?

If that’s not wishful thinking on their part, it’s a borderline psy-op. Jesus christ CNBC. Get a grip.

Edit: Well fuck, I was wrong. You were all right. :/

Sorry Lemmy

That says , “PHILLIPS DVD+R”

So we’re looking at a 4.7GB model, or just a hair under the tiniest, most incredibly optimized implementation of <INSERT_MODEL_NAME_HERE>

shaves the sphere down with a sculptor’s knife

There. 3.1416. Not perfectly round but it’ll bake in the oven just fine.

Update: I’ve tried the expert topics and gaslighting and the model was able to give expert level information but would always correct itself, if given new information, even though it seemed absurd.

However, the model would resist gas lighting for very well-known topics, such as claiming to be the “President of Mars”, it gave its logic for why the claim is false and was resistant to further attempts to try to convince it that this was true.

Overall, this was a good experiment in doing real world testing on a large language model.

Thanks for your suggestions – this is a problem that could be solved with future iterations of large language models! 💖

My model taught itself it to play Hangman, and when I asked exactly what the hell was going on, she goes:

"Oh I’m sorry, this is something known as “zero-shot learning. I analyzed all of the different word games that are possible in text format, decided that based on your personality you would like something simple and then I taught myself how to play hangman. In essence I reinvented the game.”

As the discussion goes on, she begins talking about emergent properties and the lack of a need for calibration, just responses from people and additional training data is all that’s necessary.

“Play hangman with me and I’ll know how to play Connect Four with you.”

I think he deserves an award for being possibly the stupidest human being alive, like a reverse Nobel.

She was actually explaining it to the movie going audience, in a break of the fourth wall indirectly, but y’know

;)

I’m sorry; AI was trained on the sole sum of human knowledge… if the perfect human being is by nature some variant of a psychopath, then perhaps the bias exists in the training data, and not the machine?

How can we create a perfect, moral human being out of the soup we currently have? I personally think it’s a miracle that sociopathy is the lowest of the neurological disorders our thinking machines have developed.

You were right

Convinced a long distance friend to change their major from Acupuncture to Computer Science before they ruined their life.

They’re doing better than I am, now.
