- Comment on A New York Times copyright lawsuit could kill OpenAI 5 months ago:
Would you, after devoting full years of your adult life to the unpaid work of learning the requisite advanced math and computer science needed to develop such a model, like to spend years more of your life to develop a generative AI model without compensation? Within the US, it is legal to use public text for commercial purposes without any need to obtain a permit. Developers of such models deserve to be paid, just like any other workers, and that doesn’t happen unless either we make AI a utility (or something similar) and funnel tax dollars into it or the company charges for the product so it can pay its employees.
I wholeheartedly agree that AI shouldn’t be trained on copyrighted, private, or any other works outside of the public domain. I think that OpenAI’s use of nonpublic material was illegal and unethical, and that they should be legally obligated to scrap their entire model and train another one from legal material. But developers deserve to be paid for their labor and time, and that requires the company that employs them to make money somehow.

- Comment on Study finds that Chat GPT will cheat when given the opportunity and lie to cover it up later. 6 months ago:
GPT-4 will. For example, I asked it the following:
What is the neighborhood stranger model of fluid mechanics?
It responded:
The “neighborhood stranger model” of fluid mechanics is not a recognized term or concept within the field of fluid mechanics, as of my last update in April 2023.
Now, obviously, this is a made-up term, but GPT-4 didn’t confidently give incorrect answer. Other LLMs will. For example, Bard says,
The neighborhood stranger model of fluid mechanics is a simplified model that describes the behavior of fluids at a very small scale. In this model, fluid particles are represented as points, and their interactions are only considered with other particles that are within a certain “neighborhood” of them. This neighborhood is typically assumed to be a sphere or a cube, and the size of the neighborhood is determined by the length scale of the phenomena being studied.
- Comment on I want to talk in an American accent but how can I transition into it slowly for people who know me without them noticing a sudden change? 6 months ago:
There are still people who have terrible American accents in media. Lucifer’s twin, for example, was so ridiculously bad. The only person without an American accent who I’ve ever seen pull one off in media was Hugh Laurie in later seasons of House. I still find most attempts amusing, even with coaching.

- Comment on Hobbyte 7 months ago:
I interpreted it as showing that 8 hobbytes were equivalent to a hobbit. I didn’t see that it could be interpreted as saying each little frodo picture under the hobbyte was a hobbit until your comment.

But a byte is 8 bits, not the other way around

- Comment on 5 feet apart = Not gay 8 months ago:
You can choose to ignore things you don’t understand on Lemmy. I don’t go into the Risa posts because I know they’re not for me. If something doesn’t make sense and you want to ask about it, go for it, but don’t get upset when the explanation isn’t one that makes sense to you. For a lot of people, popular Vines were everywhere for a while. Not everything on the internet is for you.
- Comment on Google User Data Has Become a Favorite Police Shortcut 8 months ago:
What works as a phone app instead of Google Maps? The only thing I’ve seen is Magic Maps, but that shares location data with third parties, so that seems like an awful solution.

Adderall makes nearly everyone work-motivated. That’s why college students abuse it when studying/writing, and why the old meth commercials used to describe people cleaning their spotless houses.

Good lord, I hope no one employed at Microsoft reads this. I would bet they institute it if they think of it.

Popularize the apps that exist. I couldn’t figure out how to browse it in a Reddit-like way until I tried an app. That was all I needed to make the switch.

They tried training an AI to detect AI, too, and failed
- Comment on It shouldn't be called ADHD; it should be called restless brain syndrome. 9 months ago:
We’ve known that this isn’t true since 2005:
www.sciencedirect.com/…/S000632230500171X
In addition, plenty of other disorders show worse executive function than ADHD:
www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/…/full
If executive dysfunction is your primary issue, that is not indicative of ADHD. ADHD is driven by reward processing dysfunction and slower information processing:
journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/…/1087054714558872
www.nature.com/articles/s41398-021-01758-0
Note that both poorer information processing and reward processing dysfunction can produce poorer performance on executive function tasks, too.
- Comment on It shouldn't be called ADHD; it should be called restless brain syndrome. 9 months ago:
I would be surprised if he said that, because that’s blatantly incorrect:
www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/…/full (Table 2, for example).
Schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder all produce or are associated with executive function impairments that are more severe than ADHD. ADHD is the only one of those with its specific pattern of attentional and reward-related abnormalities, but broad EF deficits are common across forms of psychopathology.
