  ok so, i have large reservations with how LLM’s are used. but when used correctly they can be helpful. but where and how?

  if you were to use it as a tutor, the same way you would ask a friend what a segment of code does, it will break down the code and tell you. and it will get as nity grity, and elementary school level as you weir wish without judgement, and i in what ever manner you prefer, it will recommend best practices, and will tell you why your code may not work with the understanding that it does not have the knowledge of the project you are working on. (it’s not going to know the name of the function you are trying to load, but it will recommend checking for that in trouble shooting).

  it can rtfm and give you the parts you need for any thing with available documentation, and it will link to it so you can verify it, wich you should do often, just like you were taught to do with wikipedia articles.

  if you ask i it for code, prepare to go through each line like a worksheet from high school to point out all the problems, wile good exercise for a practicle case, being the task you are on, it would be far better to write it yourself because you should know the particulars and scope.

  also it will format your code and provide informational comments if you can’t be bothered, though it will be generic.

  again, treat it correctly for its scope, not what it’s sold as by charletons.

  listen, if browsers just block ads as a matter of their existence and the average joe is unaware they are blocking ads, then all the better. this article references a poll that specifically asks if the users know they are hard blocking ads, and just under half say they were not. which is good news, as that is farther reach then what user competency rates would have got. i am just taking that poll at face value.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Adblockers stop publishers serving ads to (or even seeing) 1bn web users - Press Gazette⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “And Scott Messer, founder of publishing adtech consultancy Messer Media, added: “Dark traffic is unlike anything we have seen before. It’s demonetising publisher content at scale without user consent. 

  “Publishers already face an existential-level threat in the face of AI reducing referral traffic. This is another slice that publishers cannot afford to lose.””

  I highly recommend it on a vr device if possible, but to everyone who has played it knows, it has its moments. But its not as wrote as a run of the mill horror game, i may have given the game a disservice labeling it as such.

  Outerwilds is also a must play in vr,

  If you got vr is best played that way. Best horror game on vr.

  I am talking about levels of addiction, from what i remember caffeine is more addictive, but the negative effects are less then that of alcohol, and easier to break.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨science⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Look you don’t even need to try that hard. Just invent energy vapes, work a brand deal with Red Bull, get that evil flavor in them and cram it full of caffeine. Some of the two nastiest addictions still legally distributable, they take separate fast tracks to the brain, and layer the buzz, they cover each others immediate draw backs, and ruin other competitors, as just a cigarette or just an energy drink will fail to fire both commons at once, causing using either to condition a caffeine vape.

  It will damn humanity to exploding hearts for the weakest willed, and life time devotion from everyone else. Just pure evil.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Judge Rules Training AI on Authors' Books Is Legal But Pirating Them Is Not⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You mean when the training data becomes more complete. But that’s the thing, when this issue was being tested, the’AI’ would swear up and down that the normally filled wine glasses were full, when it was pointed out that it was not indeed full, the ‘AI’ would agree, and change some other aspect of the picture it didn’t fully understand. You got wine glasses where the wine would half phase out of the bounds of the cup. And yet still be just as empty. No amount of additional checks will help without an appropriate reference

  I use ‘AI’ extensively, i have one running locally on my computer, i swap out from time to time. I don’t have anything against its use with certain exceptions. But i can not stand people personifying it beyond its scope

  Here is a good example. I am working on an APP so every once in a wile i will send it code to check. But i have to be very careful. The code it spits out will be unoptimized like: =IF (variable IS true, true, false) .

  Some have issues with object permanence, or the consideration of time outside its training data. Its like saying a computer can generate a true random number, by making the function to calculate a number more convoluted.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Judge Rules Training AI on Authors' Books Is Legal But Pirating Them Is Not⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  1 it’s not full, but closer then it was.

  2. I specifically said that the AI was unable to do it until someone specifically made a reference so that it could start passing the test so it’s a little bit late to prove much.
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Judge Rules Training AI on Authors' Books Is Legal But Pirating Them Is Not⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, on the second part. Just rearranging or replacing words in a text is not transformative, which is a requirement. There is an argument that the ‘AI’ are capable of doing transformative work, but the tokenizing and weight process is not magic and in my use of multiple LLM’s they do not have an understanding of the material any more then a dictionary understands the material printed on its pages.

  An example was the wine glass problem. Art ‘AI’s were unable to display a wine glass filled to the top. No matter how it was prompted, or what style it aped, it would fail to do so and report back that the glass was full. But it could render a full glass of water. It didn’t understand what a full glass was, not even for the water. How was this possible? Well there was very little art of a full wine glass, because society has an unspoken rule that a full wine glass out the epitome of gluttony, and it is to be savored not drunk. Where as the reference s I full glasses of water were abundant. It doesn’t know what full means, just that pictures of full glass of water are tied to phrases full, glass, and water.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Judge Rules Training AI on Authors' Books Is Legal But Pirating Them Is Not⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It can, the only thing stopping it is if it is specifically told not to, and this consideration is successfully checked for. It is completely capable of plagiarizing otherwise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Judge Rules Training AI on Authors' Books Is Legal But Pirating Them Is Not⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If a human did that it’s still plagiarism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Judge Rules Training AI on Authors' Books Is Legal But Pirating Them Is Not⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If what you are saying is true, why were these ‘AI’s” incapable of rendering a full wine glass? It “knows the concept of a full glass of water, but because of humanities social pressures, a full wine glass is the epitome of gluttony, art work did not depict a full wine glass, no matter how ai prompters demanded, it was unable to link the concepts until it was literally created for it to regurgitate it out. Its seems it doesn’t really learn, but regurgitates art out in collages of taken assets, smoothed over at the seems.
