@jimstewartson @mathelirium Your brain is just neural connections not magic.

I’m getting tired of “experts” like this misunderstanding what they’re looking at.
LLMs are giant databases of stuff HUMAN BEINGS have done.
They are the EXHAUST of humanity.
Prompts are database queries into EXISTING DATA.
It’s a fuzzy search engine, not intelligence.

I am getting tired of reading 'experts' like LeCun repeatedly claiming that our AIs are nowhere near human-level intelligence. Let us look at the evidence. US universities rank students based on standardized tests like the SAT. Current AIs achieve near-perfect SAT scores. They also beat tests like the GRE. A few years ago, it was notable when early ChatGPT scored ~120 on an IQ test, a common measure of human intelligence. An IQ of 120 is well above average. Current AIs reportedly have IQ scores similar to those of leading scientists. It is not just in tests. I can ask an AI to produce a science paper that looks undistinguishable from what a PhD level student could do. I just have to give it the data. Better yet, from a prompt, agents can run the experiments and collect the data, and then write the papers. Those of us who try to get work done with AI know what is possible. You can't possibly just say 'this is nowhere near human-level intelligence'. In software, good AIs show a greater mastery of, say, C++, than your average software engineering professor. You could just build a formal test to prove it. The difficulty is that the professors would refuse to take your tests. At this point point, someone will object 'yeah, but your AI can't do this simple thing that we can all do'. Fine. These AIs do not have *human* intelligence. They are very much not human beings. They are something like alien intelligence. They can code straight in assembly language, but have trouble counting characters in words. But that's the result of trade-offs. A dog or a monkey can solve some problems faster than you can. But let us be fair. As a species, these AIs have definitively 'human-level intelligence'. You can't spend decades setting up cognitive tests for human beings, have these AIs beat us in these tests and then say 'well, that's not real intelligence'. Come on !

@lavacreper12 @Koookiiing are you saying you think there are no scenarios that would happen or you dont think it happens very often (p=?) or something else
English
@Break4Soup @Koookiiing If a union asked for more then they were worth they would just not get the contract signed?
English
Being an expert yourself, please don't leave me hanging in suspense. What portion of the $45 retail price bag of dogfood rightfully belongs to the cashier?

@Koookiiing i’m begging you to read marx
English
@lavacreper12 @Koookiiing that doesn’t mean the cashiers in this scenario are losing out on earned value, what if the unions in sweden are over extracting value relative to their contribution?
English
@Break4Soup @Koookiiing Because cashiers in USA have a lower take home pay compared to high union countries like sweden while sweden also has much better benifits

@georgejrjrjr Awful tweet why would you post this and not say
English
one of the fun things about dc is popping in for a coffee and
overhearing some new fact llms are trained to not inform me about.
googling today’s example turned up one offhand mention in a forum from 2018.
chat was conspicuously (and explicitly) mum when asked to confirm.
English
@lavacreper12 @Koookiiing How do you know value is being extracted from the cashier? Maybe cashier is at rate and that 25% margin is coming from elsewhere in the chain.
English
@Koookiiing Grocery and Pet stores get about a 25% profit margin per bag of food so I'd say from 2%-5% so about a dollar per bag * around 2000 bags sold a year so an extra 81k split between cashiers by time worked

@rahul Rahul,
Why not let the public track you via Flock cameras then?
If it’s not an invasion of privacy, let us see where you are at all times, where your family is. Why are you hiding? what if you end up committing a crime, wouldn't it be better to have you on film at all times?
English
Courts have repeatedly held that ALPR cameras do not infringe a reasonable expectation of privacy and do not constitute a search under the Fourth Amendment. It's less of a legal/constitutional issue and more of a misinformation issue.
English
Last year, the city of Austin turned off their Flock cameras as the result of a targeted misinformation campaign.
This weekend, for nearly 24 hours, three suspects drove around Austin in stolen vehicles, undetected, conducting a shooting spree at 12 separate locations. They shot multiple people, houses, apartment buildings, businesses, and fire stations. They committed multiple robberies and car thefts during the spree. Despite a full manhunt involving 200 officers, with helicopter and K9 support, they weren't able to locate the suspects, and the spree continued.
Luckily, the suspects drove into the Flock-supported city of Manor, TX. Manor is a small city with ~20k residents, and a fraction of Austin's budget. What they do have is modern technology and the ability not to fall victim to misinformation campaigns.
After the suspects drove into Manor to continue their shooting spree, Manor PD located them almost immediately. The residents of Manor stayed safe.
This is a tale of two cities.
I love Austin. I have plenty of friends who live there. I myself almost moved there years ago. I'm glad that the shooting spree is over, but I just wish it never happened.

There is a lot of hysteria around datacenters, the enabling of mass surveillance is a valid and reasonable concern as we build more intelligence
Matthew Tortora@MatthewTortora_
Where is this surveillance state hysteria coming from? Ive seen hundreds of people claim that data centers are "mass surveillance centers" ushering in the surveillance state, who is peddling this?
English
@glangley @Flock_Safety Garrett, I think you should be required to have a camera and microphone follow you and livestream constantly for everyone to see. For safety.
I expect this will have a 100% approval rating.
English
They called @Flock_Safety a "Snitching-Ass Startup". Now, the Mayor we serve is one of America's favorites.
In a San Francisco Chronicle poll, Mayor Daniel Lurie has reached a staggering 74% approval rating. The data is clear: when you prioritize safety, you revitalize the city.

@IanBaer @cxgonzalez would you agree claude is more alive compared to the average redditor?

@sprayandpray4 @adubashi @AlexH_Johnson I struggle to square this opinion with the reality that stablecoin payments on e-commerce sites probably round to 0% of overall volume.
why would that be any different with agents? I prefer reversibility in both cases, i prefer anti fraud in both cases
English
@Break4Soup @adubashi @AlexH_Johnson it wouldn't be your decision - it's what the merchant is willing to accpet to mitigate risk
English
@sprayandpray4 @adubashi @AlexH_Johnson It takes a special kind of person to think I want my agents making irreversible financial decisions to save an ecommerce site a couple bips
English
@adubashi @AlexH_Johnson They don't "prevent fraud" per se but they are irreversible by nature, meaning an ecommerce company doesn't have to worry about chargebacks, they don't need to run fraud prevention models, etc
English
@cxgonzalez They’re differentiating themselves from the silliness of Anthropic. It’s math on a computer it is not alive.

@Break4Soup @pennyworth88272 @MSN38s @ErlingRoIe Is it donations or is it a coin? They bought a coin with a good cause attached, not proven.
English
@Poiwyz @pennyworth88272 @MSN38s @ErlingRoIe you’re entirely unfamiliar with the story, i dont think you should be weighing in while uninformed

English
@pennyworth88272 @MSN38s @ErlingRoIe So you still chose to donate, nobody forced you, not a scam I guess but who cares lol

@byfloperillat @pugson If you really wanted to do “what you can,” offer the free trial without automatic conversion.

@byfloperillat @pugson you know what youre doing is wrong, thats why you feel guilty.
Glad this user took advantage of you

@spelldance @QiyanaIRL you’re not interested in meaningfully stopping trolling

still think if this is reasoning for punishment champs should just be mastery locked in ranked?

@erenjaegerSOS what's your kalista mastery?

@questassbm @drewlevin The issue is resolved. It has been confirmed that the punishment was applied to the incorrect game ID. And @drewlevin confirmed the punishment will be changed from inting to verbal abuse.
