  It’s just not good at room temperature, it’s decent enough if it’s a fair bit warmer than that.

  Technically any human was already capable of doing that, the pill doesn’t say that it’s necessarily something you can just instantly do at a distance with your mind.

  I think that’s the point, I think it’s the kind of surrealist meme where you present some random thing in a way that it looks like it could be a reference to something but really isn’t.

  I mean, any technology can be stupid if it is utilized stupidly, which I would think taking over someone’s keyboard while they’re tping would qualify as. But why would a company deploying a technology in a stupid manner mean that someone else’s research into a different but related technology is guaranteed to produce equally poor results?

  I mean the “allow non verbal people to speak” thing has some merit though. Not LLMs per se, but the types of machine learning used by people trying to develop ways to decode the brainwaves of people to allow them to talk while physically unable are usually lumped in the general category of “AI” from what I’ve seen.

  It is a prefix that isn’t specific to gender (I don’t know of a particular use in sexuality though that doesn’t mean there isn’t one), but in other uses that I know of, it isn’t used by itself as a descriptor of an aspect of a person’s identity, but as part of some other word. It basically means the opposite of trans (as a prefix, so not just “cisgender means someone that isn’t transgender”, but anywhere that the prefix trans- could be used, for example, when talking about spacecraft visiting the moon, the space farther away from earth than the moon is is sometimes referred to as translunar space, and conversely, the space between the earth and the moon can be called cislunar space). In general, if one is talking about people, especially if it’s just used by itself with nothing else attached, it just refers to everyone other than transgender people.

  There’s a common trope that worms like to live in apples, between that and blocking doctors, maybe rfk is secretly a giant weird looking apple.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please bro⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We technically wouldnt have to in the sense that its not physically impossible for us to “stumble into it” while trying to mimic the basic brain architecture that we do know, but yes, this is one of the reasons I tend to be a bit skeptical of AI claims, we’re trying to mimic something without even knowing how the thing we’re trying to mimic works very well. Clearly we havent had zero success just given that we can make something that can talk well enough to sometimes fool people into thinking its a human, but we also clearly havent gotten all the way there. If the tech we’ve built will work with enough scaling or tweaking, or if we need something fundamentally different, I dont know.

  My guess, though it is just a guess, is that we’ve probably got something that could serve as a component of some future agi system but that there’s probably more to it we havent figured out that we need to add to get there beyond just making the thing bigger and feeding it more data. Humans do learn from experience after all, and I would imagine the total data input of all one’s senses constantly working adds up to a lot, but we also clearly dont need to be fed all the information to be found on the internet just to learn how to think and talk, the fact these AI models need so much training data makes me suspect that either we’re missing something fundamental and trying to compensate with more training, or else we’ve devised a way to doing this that is really inefficient compared to however our brains do it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please bro⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you define it in a “artificial person/as smart as a human/can do anything a human can do” sort of way like I usually see, then yes, we know that it is possible, because if it were impossible for a system with human-equivalent capabilities to exist, than humans couldn’t exist, and well, we clearly do. That being said, that doesn’t mean that all we need to do to make one is to just feed more and more data into our existing AI tech.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨got banned on reddit for 3 days..... so hi...⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lemmy meme. One of the first lemmy-specific ones that I know of. Someone made an post on an asklemmy community asking for advice on how to avoid shitting for three days, and somehow the “lemmy three day challenge” became a widespread meme on the lemmy network for awhile. Then after that it was memes about beans, and briefly ones about beef stroganoff for some reason.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨got banned on reddit for 3 days..... so hi...⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Funny coincidence, to mention shitholes on a lemmy post that says we only have “3 days”.

  Aren’t the tops edible too? I wonder how the little shriveled bean thing on the end became internationally popular but the juicy looking fruit on top isn’t. Like, every cashew harvested has to have the fruity part too, what do they all get used for?

  He’s gotten a handful of interviews (maybe a dozen, which over that time period doesn’t seem like very many to me but I don’t have enough job hunting experience to say). Ive generally asked him about them the day of, he’s usually thought they’ve gone well (the places that have actually interviewed him have usually been fast food type places, and have usually asked him more about availability than much else from what he’s told me), and often they’ve told him some variation of “we should give you a call with our decision within a week”, after which all but one has never actually done so. I’ve not tried giving him a mock interview (I’ve been lucky enough to get hired by the first place to interview me both times I’ve been job hunting myself, so I have very little notion of what exactly to ask to simulate such a thing), most of my assistance to him has either been trying to find places he hasn’t applied yet, helping him make his resume, and relaying advice from an aunt of mine with a lot more general life experience. I’ve also tried recommending him to my workplace’s HR a couple times when they’ve had entry level positions open but he’s never heard anything from applications there either. As far as seasonal work goes, I don’t know if he’s applied to any tourist stuff or not, I’ve not seen very many such jobs listed when I’ve looked around job postings but I might not be looking in the right place. He has tried applying for temporary landscaping positions a few times without any luck though.

  The hiring signs for don’t necessarily mean much. I have a friend looking for such “basic” sort of a job, or anything really, that I’ve been trying to help out. Two years later and we’re both still trying to find more places around for him to apply to. I know the guy well enough to know that he’s not like being a jerk to the occasional interviewer he gets or anything like that, and while he doesn’t have much he doesn’t have zero work history either, so with all the places “now hiring” you’d think statistically at least one of them would have worked out by now, but most won’t even give the courtesy of a “no”. I suspect those signs are more there to have a constant pool of applicants in case they should need to quickly replace an existing employee (or reassure overworked ones that they’re “looking” for someone) than any actual intent to hire more staff.
