Is this spider camouflaging as a name stamp from eastern culture?

Same exact reason I want it, as well. Right now using a controller with the Steam Deck always feel like a downgrade.

It’s unbeatable to me by the sheer fact that it has dual touchpads.

I mean, I can definitely feel my brain function deteriorating by the minute.

I did the same thing. In my defence, I am really really sleepy right now.

I don’t know what you’re even arguing. Your analogy breaks down because in this case, we can’t even see if the raven is black or not. No one can theoretically prove consciousness. The rest of your comments seems to be arguing that current AI has no consciousness, which is exactly what I said, so I guess this is just an attempt at supporting my point?

Everything you said is right, but you’re only proving that LLM weights is a severely simplified version of neurons. It neither disproves that they don’t have consciousness or that being a mathematical model precludes it from having consciousness at all.
In my opinion, the current models doesn’t express any consciousness, but I am against saying they don’t because they are a mathematical model rather than by the results we can measure. The fact that we can’t theoretically prove consciousness in the human brain also means we can’t theoretically disprove consciousness in an LLM model. They aren’t conscious because they haven’t expressed enough to be considered conscious, and that’s the extent we should claim to know.

Okay, now explain how the human neuron expresses consciousness.

It sounds so much better, though. They aren’t pretending to be humans, so the context of the conversation is more interesting to me.

So you agree those models have already been made, and running them no longer require 50 exawatts of power, right? Not sure why you decide to change the context to training the models instead of running it like the other guy was claiming.
(As if you genuinely believe those are the ones GOG is using.)
I thought the context was changed to general use of LLM as a tool for programmers, not specifically about GOG? Can’t even double check it now because the mod removed the comment for some reason.
- Comment on GOG job listing for a Senior Software Engineer notes "Linux is the next major frontier" 4 weeks ago:
Which means calling some anti-AI people Luddites make perfect sense, no? Many of them have just as valid of a worry and fear as the Luddites did.
Of course, once the anti-AI sentiment goes mainstream, the amount of idiots who are irrationally anti-AI also increases, and these ones are not worth listening to, unlike the Luddites-like ones.

Neither does a locally run LLM model.

You keep making points I’ve already addressed. Like I said, you were never interested in trying to understand anything I said. I ain’t gonna try anymore.
- Comment on Source: US may gain sovereignty over small areas in Greenland 5 weeks ago:
It’s like I’m talking to a stump with how adamant you are to not get what point I’m trying to tell you. Never mind then, I give up. Not worth wasting my time trying to explain to someone that refuses to read.
- Comment on Source: US may gain sovereignty over small areas in Greenland 5 weeks ago:
The problem is that you’re thinking like a sane person, while Trump isn’t. Just the fact that people took his toddler tantrum seriously enough to even pretend like they are compromising emboldens him. We’ve seen this happen how many times now and it only made things worse.
You talked about start position as if that matters to Trump. Remember when Canada backed down on their digital service tax act? In reality, it’s simply a return to status quo, but to this insane administration, they consider it a “win” to make Canada compromise to a crazy situation Trump initiated.
Being so happy that Trump didn’t get what he pretended to want is just you being tricked by his flood the zone tactic. This type of toddler decisions should have just been completely shut down without any need for discussion. I don’t know why you’re happy that it was entertained for even a moment.
- Comment on Source: US may gain sovereignty over small areas in Greenland 5 weeks ago:
You seem to be ignoring my points and repeating the same arguments that I’ve already addressed. Not a big surprise you think this is going to stop Trump when you act like you can’t read.
- Comment on Source: US may gain sovereignty over small areas in Greenland 5 weeks ago:
Yes, because now you’re emboldening him. Instead of getting full pushback from him acting like a toddler, they are making him feel like he won.
Tell me what happens when you make someone feel like they won something by acting like a toddler? They certainly won’t stop acting like one, let me tell you that.

You’re kinda already losing when you treat a lunatic president with standard diplomacy.

It’s not gonna make him shut up. Instead, it’ll just encourage him to ask for more outrageous things next time.

But with more nuance.
- Comment on I replaced Windows with Linux and everything’s going great 1 month ago:
I would say it works very differently than what people are used to on Windows or Macs, and that there are still too many solutions that rely on the terminal. Additionally, the fact that different distros can have completely different ways to perform the same task doesn’t help with its adoption by non-techy people.

True, but there are far better things to fight when it comes to AI then companies that properly make contracts with voice actors to use their voice for AI training.

I expect them not to focus on AR as the biggest usecase for it is for virtual monitor in a real life environment and not gaming. Maybe the give us a colour camera add-on, but I doubt it’ll be their focus from the get-go.
- Comment on Looks Like We Can Finally Kiss the Metaverse Goodbye 2 months ago:
Valve is still not making one that can do AR, so we’re still stuck with either Meta or Pico for that use case.
