it’s not the president’s fault!

it’s the president’s fault!

It would move to something else.

There used to be riots at the opera and theatre (as in plays not movies).

“some homeless people like living on the streets!”

Wouldn’t you just take issue with whatever the new name for it was instead? “Calling it pattern recognition is snake oil, it has no cognition” etc

1998

what would they have to produce to not be snake oil?

Can you name a company who has produced an LLM that doesn’t refer to it generally as part of “AI”?

can you name a company who produces AI tools that doesn’t have an LLM as part of its “AI” suite of tools?

What are you talking about? I read the papers published in mathematical and scientific journals and summarize the results in a newsletter. As long as you know equivalent undergrad statistics, calculus and algebra anyone can read them, you don’t need a qualification, you could just Google each term you’re unfamiliar with.

While I understand your objection to the nomenclature, in this particular context all major AI-production houses including those only using them as internal tools to achieve other outcomes (e.g. NVIDIA) count LLMs as part of their AI collateral.

I’ve been working on an internal project for my job - a quarterly report on the most bleeding edge use cases of AI, and the stuff achieved is genuinely really impressive.

So why is the AI at the top end amazing yet everything we use is a piece of literal shit?

The answer is the chatbot. If you have the technical nous to program machine learning tools it can accomplish truly stunning processes at speeds not seen before.

If you don’t know how to do - for eg - a Fourier transform - you lack the skills to use the tools effectively. That’s no one’s fault, not everyone needs that knowledge, but it does explain the gap between promise and delivery. It can only help you do what you already know how to do faster.

Same for coding, if you understand what your code does, it’s a helpful tool for unsticking part of a problem, it can’t write the whole thing from scratch

fuck

I dont fault that really, saying good things when a company does good things is fairly normal, as is working for a company that doesnt do good things but you’ve got to have a job.

Waste is how you frame it.

Even literal poop has a benefit.

I do client work, sometimes it drives me mad how much time I “waste” making PPT slides that are just prettier BI dashboards, but then the client sees it, sends that one slide to his boss and everyone claps me on the back.

Mexico is a big country, Google has shareholders who demand line goes up, people use maps to advertise (“map pack” “local SEO” and brand tie-ins)…

it’s a tricky question, arguably there are more people on this planet that call countries by their Mandarin name, followed by their Spanish name, followed by their English name, than the name in the native language.

De Guo > Alemania > Germany > Deutschland for example

They finally did it, the crazy sonnuva bitches finally reached you about your cars extended warranty.

1/6887 is not good odds.

an acquaintance of mine did a reaction vid where they reacted as one normally would - ie very minimal almost nothing - to a star wars announcement and got death threats lol

yeah I can spot an AI marketing email almost instantly now. I can’t even really tell you why.

literally one hour ago you used the same grammatical synecdoche of inferring a subset of the group by referring to the group noun demonym:
