- Comment on If I have to get inessesent phone calls about a house I never owned because somehow my info got associated with it online, I should get the house. 1 day ago:
I’ve read people’s stories before were their number got listed somewhere and people just never stops calling even though it is the wrong number. It has never happened to me but it really sounds terrible. Sound of an block any unknown caller seems like the only option (but not so great if you are applaying for a job).

- Comment on I have an acquaintance that have their own "password system" that involves having a "core" set of characters, plus a few unique characters for each site; Is that system safe? 2 days ago:
From what I understand, they (hackers) try known email/password combinations at different sites because a lot of people reuse their passwords. I also find it unlikely that anyone trying hack accounts will spend any amount of time looking at individual passwords if their list is 1000+ (and we know there are leaks in the milions).
I agree that they are reasonably save unless they are targeted.

Why not? It’s not going to be cost effective to discard a usable computer, of course. But hen your phone can be hooked up to a monitor, mouse and keyboard and the phone’s internet can be used to stream the remote computer, why have a computer? Or if your phone could give you the same interface as your current computer?
I will personally most likley always own a “ordinary” computer, but I wonder if a majority of the populace will.

More like remote desktop, like your whole computer being cloud based.

I haven’t seen The Expanse, but I get it from context. I still believe that is how a lot of people will operate in when 5G is wide spread enough in the US (because that is most likely where the money to develop this will come from and hence the first target market. Or perhapas somewhere in Asia.) + 5 years to develop and sell products.
Unless I am completely wrong and some other trend comes along and the tech world takes a whole other course. 🤷

I wonder if not computers will move away from being a physical unit and instead being a cloud service. The smartphone will be the access point for your cloud computer, and you will connect it to peripherals, just like you would a laptop today.
- Comment on Why don't these code-writing AIs just output straight up machine code? 2 weeks ago:
Looking at the tags, I only found one with the LLM tag, which I assume naught101 meant. I think people here tend to forget that there is more than one type of AI, and that they have been around for longer than ChatGPT 3.5.
- Comment on Why don't these code-writing AIs just output straight up machine code? 2 weeks ago:
The compiler is likely better at producing machine code as well, if LLMs could produce it.
- Comment on No, Steam wasn’t hacked, and your account details are safe 2 weeks ago:

You may have seen reports of leaks of older text messages that had previously been sent to Steam customers. We have examined the leak sample and have determined this was NOT a breach of Steam systems.
We’re still digging into the source of the leak, which is compounded by the fact that any SMS messages are unencrypted in transit, and routed through multiple providers on the way to your phone.
The leak consisted of older text messages that included one-time codes that were only valid for 15-minute time frames and the phone numbers they were sent to. The leaked data did not associate the phone numbers with a Steam account, password information, payment information or other personal data. Old text messages cannot be used to breach the security of your Steam account, and whenever a code is used to change your Steam email or password using SMS, you will receive a confirmation via email and/or Steam secure messages.
You do not need to change your passwords or phone numbers as a result of this event. It is a good reminder to treat any account security messages that you have not explicitly requested as suspicious. We recommend regularly checking your Steam account security at any time at
store.steampowered.com/account/authorizeddevices
We also recommend setting up the Steam Mobile Authenticator if you haven’t already, as it gives us the best way to send secure messages about your account and your account’s safety.

See, that’s your problem. You’re arguing, with me, about something that was said to you by someone else. Do you realize why I’m questioning your argumentative skills?
I’m sorry? You came to me.
Here is how I see it:
- Someone compared AI to calculator/calendar
- I said you cannot compare that
- You asked why I even argue with the first person
- I said that I want a better discussion
- You said that I should stop dimissing other people’s arguments
- I tried to explain why I don’t think it is a valid argument to compare LLM to "calculator can do reliably. or a timer. or a calendar."
- You did not seem to agree with me on that from what I understand.
- And now we are here.
–
Here’s a source to a study
I don’t have the time to read the articles now so I will have to do it later, but hallucinations can definitively be a problem. Asking for code is one such situation where an LLM can just make up functions that does not exist.
- Comment on Anon is waiting for Japan 2 months ago:
No one ever said they were

literally can’t do what a calculator can do reliably. or a timer. or a calendar.
- Comment on Anon is waiting for Japan 2 months ago:
I’m am dismissing invalid arguments, that started all this. AIs are not calendars and should be used as such.
- Comment on Anon is waiting for Japan 2 months ago:
That is your opinon and that is fine. Just don’t attack people because they don’t agree, and don’t argue that LLMs are because because they can’t do what they are not made to do. It is okey to say the ChatGPT is shit because you can’t use it as a calendar if OpenAI is trying to market that. But that is not LLM in general.
- Comment on Anon is waiting for Japan 2 months ago:
If you want to shit on OpenAI because you think they stink, that is fine. If you want to shit on their LLM because you think it sucks, that is also fine. But don’t say that the concept of LLM sucks because OpenAI and their product is bad or their marketing of said product. Say that LLM sucks because there is no regulation and companies are using this to hurt people. Say that OpenAIs LLM suck because they took from the people to create it without giving back. Don’t say that OpenAIs LLM cannot produce good output becuase they stole, because the output is good. Stealing is still wrong. Don’t say that someone else is worse at what they are doing because they used an LLM. Say that they are worse at what they are doing because (and if) they cannot do it without an LLM.
It would be a nice discussion if you did not try to argue on bad faith. Of course I don’t want to compare something that is meant to kill with something that could if you really try. Should be ban ropes because you can strangle people with them? Of course not, that’s stupid and you know it.
- Comment on Anon is waiting for Japan 2 months ago:
I’m trying to say that one should call a fraud a fraud, not a bad screwdriver.
It is OK for a few people to hurt others, since you personally are benefiting, in a very small way, from the cruelty?
That is not what I tried to say.
- Comment on Anon is waiting for Japan 2 months ago:
If the argument want as you have laid it out, I would not dismiss it. But I cannot do that when the arguemnt is ”hammers in general are bad because I cannot use them to drive to work” or ”also your essay fucking sucks. learn to put together a coherent thought instead of relying on a glorified autocorrect that doesn’t have them at all to do it for you”. That second one is an actual quote.
What you bring up is how a few people is power are using AI to increase their wealth without regards for human suffering. I agree that what they are doing is wrong. And the discussion should be about how AI affects our society, how it is used and who controls it. This does not make AI a bad tool, it makes it a tool that can used in a bad way to cause a lot of harm.
- Comment on Anon is waiting for Japan 2 months ago:
funny how it’s not “intelligent” enough to say “hey I don’t really do math”
From what I understand, that is how OpenAI has decided to make their LLM and not an inherit property of LLMs, but I could you be wrong.
also your essay fucking sucks
Did you read it?
learn to put together a coherent thought instead of relying on a glorified autocorrect that doesn’t have them at all to do it for you.
I’ll take a guess here. You think I had the LLM write my essey for me. You also think I used it to correct my spelling.
I already have other software that can help me with my spelling, so that was not needed. I wrote my whole essey first, because actually doing myself is faster and gives a better result than trying to prompt an AI to do it, at least for me.What I did do was feed my text into an LLM to see how I could improve the structure of my text, how tense could be used correctly and if any words that I used could be changed for a better substitute. All of those are things that I could do myself, but I had an excellent tool to help me with it so I used it.
Not using it would be just as stupid as not using a software to correct spelling becuase it might get the spelling wrong.
I think you do not understand how to get the most out of an LLM or you are using it wrong. Or both.
