Ah, I see… Gotta love the intersection of text and missed nuance, keeps this place flowing

I’ve had to hold myself accountable when “taking on more” became a form of procrastination. If you’re working on something else to hide from other work that needs to get done, the end result is the same - procrastinating

2 - humans would have to populate the universe for this comparison to make any sense.
I can destroy an ant colony the same way the aliens could wrap their proton computer around Earth, cutting off the sun, and extinguishing all life. My reading of the ending: no chance humans survive

Saying “bugs are to humans what humans are to the aliens” and spinning it as a positive bc *bugs are alive so humans have a chance in this fight* fails on multiple levels.
1 - sorry but we have killed a LOT of bug species and current population counts are MUCH smaller than in the past

And I can no longer barter with Walmart; society moves forward.
Not saying there‘s no struggles, but smartphones have only really been around for 25ish years (generously) and in a historical context we are still trying to figure out what this means. Vending machines should be able to experiment.

Interested to understand where else you’ve seen this besides a vending machine. If my mom cant buy from a vending machine, I’m less upset than if this is a gas station or the grocery store.

It’s training is the entirety of Internet essentially. Thing should be leaning how to count from Count on Sesame Street

Shouldn’t the model be able to infer what counting is though? It’s a computer at the end of the day so it should be able to increment each time is parses a token that matches the key token given to it

thank goodness you clarified, I felt lost

Doesn’t this assume out of all text on the entire internet these models have consumed, nowhere are these words explicitly spelled out?
The input text is converted into a token so it literally cannot “see” the individual letters you pass it.

Doesn’t this “how many Rs in strawberry” have to do with how the tokens are broken up and processed?
Haven’t read through your whole thread - apologies if this has already been touched on.

This is a good decision, and you will find value spending hours migrating tasks. Get it twisted.

How will this be enforced?
Is this going to turn into a similar situation to when I tell Steam I was born in 1960 every time I want to look at the store page for a game I already own and have installed?

10 years ago I couldn't understand how the dark ages happened. Now I know it was because of twitter

@techconnectify.bsky.social has gone on and on about this subject and I think he's right. Paraphrasing, but essentially people are paying attention to the letter of the post, but not the spirit, and there's no middle ground.
"Oh, you're on my team but didn't explicitly support my cause? Fuck you."
