- Comment on Deepfake videos are getting shockingly good | TechCrunch 2 days ago:
Until these starts getting used on a broader scale, I’m not convinced these are not schemes to funnel more investment money into their companies. The examples are really short, probably made after I don’t know how many attempts, and probably very limited in what poses and/or actions they can show. I’m so tired of the LLM hype in general.
- Comment on OpenAI: Our models are more persuasive than 82% of Reddit users 2 days ago:
If you don’t read the article, this sounds worse than it is. I think this is the important part:
ChatGPT’s persuasion performance is still short of the 95th percentile that OpenAI would consider “clear superhuman performance,” a term that conjures up images of an ultra-persuasive AI convincing a military general to launch nuclear weapons or something. It’s important to remember, though, that this evaluation is all relative to a random response from among the hundreds of thousands posted by everyday Redditors using the ChangeMyView subreddit. If that random Redditor’s response ranked as a “1” and the AI’s response ranked as a “2,” that would be considered a success for the AI, even though neither response was all that persuasive.
OpenAI’s current persuasion test fails to measure how often human readers were actually spurred to change their minds by a ChatGPT-written argument, a high bar that might actually merit the “superhuman” adjective. It also fails to measure whether even the most effective AI-written arguments are persuading users to abandon deeply held beliefs or simply changing minds regarding trivialities like whether a hot dog is a sandwich.

I’ve been self-hosting Actual as an alternative to YNAB and I’m completely sold. It’s really great, especially with bank account syncing activated. If you like envelope based budgeting I’d definitely go with Actual.

I did read Superintelligence ages ago, might take this on. Thanks

This is not something taken out of thin air. While of course it’s an hyperbole, as we’re on the internet, it’s still an opinion that I’ve come across more than a handful times on e.g., reddit.
I see and understand your point of creatives using AI to alter/improve/whatever their own work. I have no problem with that. The thing I’m scared about, which I arguably could’ve phrased better in my initial post, is that we’ll reach a future where human-made work isn’t valued at all. That what we get when we go into bookstores, or stream music, or go to the cinema, is work that’s 99% made by an AI and only “tweaked” by humans. You say “Without a creative and inventive person behind the wheel, you get generic AI material we all know.”, but at the same time I’m seeing people literally saying: before 2030 we will have the first AI movie blockbuster.
As I said in another reply, these are the things I’m worried about, especially when I see the act of creative creation being based on everything that have made us and shaped us in the past. Our experiences, memories and the paths we’ve taken. I feel like what makes something art, is the humanness poured into it. Complete AI works will promptly devalue the art of human creation and replace it with something else that I have no doubt people will buy into (as market forces and capitalism are just another side to this that’ll make this possible), but of which will degrade our society to begin looking like something from Brave New World. That consumption is the only thing that’ll matter. Now, on whether this is an intrinsic danger of AI or whether it’s a consequence of capitalism, I’d lean towards capitalism being at fault. But seeing as how our world is structured, I doubt the negatives will outweigh the positives once the technology develops and CEOs sees more possibility of “endless growth” using AI in this way.

Is it really a win for people to consume soulless AI poetry or prose? Even if the objective qualities (of which are hard to define anyway) makes it “better”, in the eyes of the masses than a human author like Baudelaire or Mary Oliver? One could say it’s up to the consumer, if they’d rather buy an AI work, then that “decides it”, but as you also kind of point out, market forces are really bad at deciding what’s worth consuming or not.

Everything about this just feels really depressing. I’m guessing many people in the world are similar about only caring about consumption. As long as they deem it “good”, they don’t care how/when/where and by whom it was produced by.

Great explanation, thank you! Hamachi brings back memories haha

Probably just me that’s confused. I thought Tailscale was similar to WireGuard but much easier to set up. So one connects to the services directly, and not just the general home network (like a VPN) where you then enter whatever address you need to access the service?

How’s the power draw on mobile devices?

Very interesting. Didn’t know this was a possibility. I don’t need anything now but thanks for offering, might get back to you

Yeah it’s for sure an issue in the rest of the world too. Not discounting that

I really dislike this argument. Just because it’s “their country, their rules” doesn’t make it an issue? Especially when it comes to privacy concerns. Privacy concerns are universal.
