Bullshit. All you need is to scrape together a measley $7 trillion dollars and throw it at Sam Altman.
LLMs are quite impressive as chatbots all things considered. The conversations with them are way more realistic and almost as funny as the ones with the IRC markov chain my friend made as a freshman CS student.
Of course, out bot’s training data only included the IRC channel’s logs of a few years and the Finnish Bible we later threw in for shits and giggles. A training set of approximately zero terabytes in total.
LLMs are less a marvel of machine learning algorithms (though I admit they might play a part) and more one of data scraping. Based on their claims, they have already dug through the vast majority of publicly accessible world wide web, so where do you go from there? Sure, there are a lot of books that are not on the web, but feeding them in the machine is about as hard as getting them on the web to begin with.
Senior year of college, I took an elective seminar on interactive fiction. For the final project, one of my classmates wrote a program that scraped a LiveJournal and converted it into a text adventure game.
You are standing in an open field west of a giant castle, with an ornate front door. Your name is Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way. >My own final project was a parody of the IMDb that was “what if the IMDb was about books instead of movies”, except that the user reviews told stories about people who turned out to have all gone to high school together before scattering around the world, and reading them in the right sequence unlocked a finale in which they reunited for a New Year’s party and their world dissolved so that their author could repurpose them for other stories.
DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR there’s a weird sex scene inside I guarantee it
fuck yes, why wasn’t my college this cool? all I got was an AI elective taught by a guy whose proudest achievement was having the only remaining Genera license on campus
This was really obvious a couple orders of magnitude ago, but I guess at least they stopped lying about infinite scale being an option?
“Admit” is a strong word, I’d go for “desperately attempt to deny”.
That’s the closest you’ll ever get to an admission from a corporate mouthpiece though.
I am a firm realist. I’d like to point out two things.
There are two sides: the anti-corpo leftists of Lemmy, and the hyper “where do we sign” neo liberals of reddit.
Lemmy Leftists are sure Google will literally just evaporate tomorrow, and the neo liberals are sure that the singularity has already happened and will be revealed for Christmas.
The truth is probably somewhere in the middle. Google literally cannot evaporate, and they are also probably struggling to improve their models. They will probably find ways to slowly improve them over time, at a reasonable rate.
Edit - 😅 I’m at least happy I created something fun. You guys are great, enjoy lol
what a strange post
I am a firm realist. There are two sides: the anti-corpo leftists of Blade II, and the hyper “where do we sign” neo liberals of Battlefield Earth.
Blade II Leftists are sure nighttime is literally just yellow color grading except when it’s blue or they forget to do it at all, and the neo liberals are sure that you tilt the camera and the more you tilt the camera the better the movie is.
The truth is probably somewhere in the middle. John Travolta literally cannot evaporate, and he is also probably struggling to improve his filmmaking. He will probably find ways to do both fucked up color grading and what he thinks are Dutch angles, but in a more subtle way.
And then Del Toro will probably send him a box of shit or live bees for Christmas.
I am a firm realist. I’d like to point out two things.
There are two sides: the anti-corpo leftists of Del Taco, and the hyper “where do we sign” neo liberals of Taco Bell.
Del Taco Leftists are sure Taco Bell will literally just evaporate tomorrow, and the neo liberals are sure that the secret menu has already happened and will be revealed for Taco Tuesday.
The truth is probably somewhere in the middle. Taco Bell literally cannot evaporate, and they are also probably struggling to design a burrito that doesn’t fucking suck. They will probably find ways to distract you with churro bites instead, as a reasonable fast food chain would.
“I was somewhere in the middle of your mother last night, Trebek!”
I can’t stop, it’s like eating potato chips, and as a firm realist. I’d like to point out two things.
There are two sides: the anti-corpo leftists who eat Pringles, and the hyper “where do we sign” neo liberals who prefer doritos.
goddammit now I want a taco, and there’s no great options near me
curse you, average of extremes!
I pass the crown of firmist realist on to you
I hereby vow to be extremely firm and extremely realistic
I am a film realist
it was right there
fucking… maybe if I edit it in nobody will notice
maybe they’ll pay even more for the director’s cut
they’ll pay twice as much!
@self@awful.systems I would like to report a bug. Sometimes reading, interacting with, or posting a comment costs several times as much as it does other times. Posting this comment was exactly one million times as expensive as the median of my other comments and reading it will cost as much. Please try and equalize the cost of using this free site so I can continue to afford alcohol.
finally my pyramid scheme is coming to fruition
sneerchain, coming soon to an awful system near you
I am an anti-corpo leftists of Lemmy. I’d like to point out one thing.
We are sure Google will just evaporate tomorrow.
As a fellow leftist, I don’t think it will happen on the week end, give it 'till Monday.
this is leftist infighting between Mondayists and Tomorrow-Evaporists and I won’t allow it in this space
What are you gonna do about it, fight me?
what kind of leftist would I be if I didn’t?
And so three new Lemmy instances were born.
4:45pm friday news cycle
You’re both wrong. It’ll be more of an evisceration than evaporation.
I am an Ed Zitron reader. Do you think I’m a The New Norm serial villain? Google evaporated in 2019
I’m not sure what you’re trying to say here – that the average of two extremes is the most likely outcome? The opposing sides are both clearly ungrounded in reality, so it’s like you’ve set up not one but two strawmen arguments facing each other from miles away and using that as an illustration for an unspecific conjecture of averages between them.
new copypasta just dropped (see below)
Was having trouble understanding this so I translated it through a couple LLMs, it just cost me a few cubic meters of water:
I am very smart. I’d like to point out one thing. Everyone other than me is stupid. Herpa derpa derpa derp.
