Did you try a different AI model? ☺️ Maybe yours didn’t have enough dope in the training dataset…

Oh wow, it’s been a while since I read the last webpage which wasn’t mobile friendly (responsive) but had a fixed width so you’d need to scroll right and left constantly…

I think it’s easy. If the AI industry wants to abolish copyright… Why don’t they start first? Give us all your models, internal research and trade secrets, and I’d be willing to think about loosening copyright.

Can we get more than just a picture of an Abstract?

Is there anything specifically new to this app? We had Replika AI since 2017 or so, and AI companions have been subject of discussion for quite some time now. Including long articles and scientific papers. At least since the Covid times when that picked up. So what’s the news here?

Technically, a project can upload all kinds of files there. But the main point is use for development purposes. Developers share the resources and program code there and use it to collaborate. It’s often not aimed at the end-user.

If you’re lucky, you’ll find a link to the project website either in the README further down, or in the description at the right, close to the top. That website is usually meant for the general public. Some projects also release binaries / executable files. It’s also on the right in the “About” description or if you click on “Tags” and then “Releases”.

Other than that, a lot of open source projects don’t provide executable files. You’ll have to install it with the package manager of your Linux distribution, or follow the instructions to build it yourself.

What kind of AI? An LLM? Because I can see how hindsight would be hugely beneficial for stock trade. And if they used a model with knowledge from 2024 on data on 1990…

The dystopian AI-driven surveillance state is progressing quickly in the USA. Last week we had this: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/45513520

I think I’d rather do something constructive than in-fight on the Fediverse. Sure, Lemmy isn’t perfect. Not at all. I’d say love it for creating this online-space and pioneering the threaded conversations to some degree, hate the bad things about it. But don’t make this about hate itself or fighting. Instead, focus on constructivism and to create something positive. Focusing on the negativity (and even attracting such people by naming things a certain way) isn’t a good approach for that, if you ask me. I think it’s the wrong way of thinking. I mean this also needs to be discussed somewhere… But be careful with this. We have enough negativity on the internet. And this isn’t the idea behind Piefed.

The “AI” part seems to be unclear to some people. That’s why we’re having this argument. And I think I have a rough understanding, but the “fuck” part is unclear to me, because I have nuance when I f***… There are different ways of doing it, not just one. So I’d say it’s both words.

They said rational. Not pro-AI. And I mean why not? This is a community dedicated to talking about AI, so you could expect people having a basic understanding of what they’re talking about. This could also be a community dedicated to blind hate. I’m not sure. But what I’m sure about is, there are some people with some level of insight, maybe even from the field or who have this as a hobby, who say “fuck AI” for the impact on society and climate it has, or for it being used against the people in some way or another… So yeah. I’m opposed to the blind hate. I’d rather hate it for the facts. And that’s the reason I also advocate for “rational”.

Yes. https://infosec.pub/post/29620772

Seems someone deleted it, and now we have to discuss the same thing again.

I feel you’re wasting your time here. Some people seem to be under the impression it’s the year 1990 or 1950 and we’re talking about markov chain chatbots. The stochastic parrot argument would certainly apply there. But we’re talking about something else here.

And it’s also a fairly common misconception that AI somehow has to be intelligent in the same way a human is. And by using the same methods. But it really doesn’t work that way. That’s why we put the word “Artificial” in front of “Intelligence”.

But this take gets repeated over and over again and I don’t really know why we need to argue about how maths and statistics are a part of our world, how language and perception work and who is dehumanizing themselves… The scientific approach is to define intelligence, come up with some means of measuring it, and then do it… And that’s what we’ve done. We can get rid of the perception part of language. We can measure how “intelligent” entities can memorize and recall facts, combine them, transfer and apply knowledge… That’s not really a secret… I mean obviously it seems to be misunderstood or hyped or whatever by lots of people. But we also (in theory) know some of the facts about AI and what it can and can not do and how that relates to the vague concept of intelligence.

There is a lot of nuance to it. I’d say receiving one downvote feels as annoying as it feels good to receive 5 upvotes. At least to me, so I’d say downvotes are worth more. But yeah, this is kind of a different topic. Upvoting bad stuff or downvoting good stuff is both very stupid. But this isn’t a competition or an excercise in stupidity. Just downvote bad/terrible content and upvote if you think other people might want to read it, too. And use your brain before using the voting system for different purposes than those.

Yes, I think it’s bad. I mean some people have it coming and I’m not mad at you for downvoting those. But a bunch of people do what you do. And once you’re part of a niche community or one about a controversial topic, you tend to get that a lot. Random people wo aren’t members coming by and leaving some negative drive-by comment, or a bunch of downvotes. And most of the time it’s not a well-informed take. Or it’s been debunked countless times already, or not even the specific topic at hand. But more someone pushing their uninformed opinion or the prevalent sentiment… And I mean how would they know it they don’t know a lot about what’s going on, since it’s just someone browsing the “All” feed and leaving drive-by interactions?

The issue is not you doing it or one person. But that quite some people do it. And at the other end it’s just a constant stream of it. And if you want to discuss something you then have to make the rules more strict, start to ban people. And then it might lead to some outcry on yepowertrippingbastards or something like that. I think it’s just a lose-lose situation for everyone. It doesn’t create anything constructive or with substance to it. Main thing it does is drag down the place and poison the atmosphere. I’d rather you just block the community if you don’t like the content, and move on with your day.

Make of this what you will. I also downvote misinformation and bad content. But rarely do I scroll through something just to vote on it or make my opinion known to everybody. (With some minor exceptions.)

I’m fairly sure doing mental gymnastics and hypocrisy are fairly popular these days. I can come up with a bazillion of other topics where people like to do it. And it’s often both sides, and the people interested in the truth and facts are a bit more rare.

Same thing here. It’s easy to have a strong opinion and to vocalize it loudly. But I have zero information whether this is legit or someone went through 20 posts and downvoted someone because of a personal vendetta. This could be a warranted ban, or not.

I have a hunch though, because I know how that mod moderates. And it’s often because of zir personal agenda.

You’ll find a different prevailing mood in different communities here on Lemmy. The people in the technology community (the example you gave) are fed up with talking about AI all day, each day. They’d like to talk about other technology at times and that skews the mood. At least that’s what I’ve heard some time ago… Go to a different community and discuss AI there and you’ll find it’s a different sentiment and audience there. (And in my opinion it’s the right thing to do anyway. Why discuss everything in this community, and not in the ones dedicated to the topic?)

I’d just set up the reverse proxy on the VPS and make it forward everything via IPv6. But you could also use a tunnel/VPN, everything from Tailscale to Wireguard or even an SSH tunnel would work. And there are dedicated services like Cloudflare, nohost, neutrinet, pagekite…

I run Windows software such as games with Proton, I used Wine before. The frontend to launch it doesn’t matter a lot to me. Lutris, Bottles, Steam… they mostly all work. But honestly, I don’t pirate many games these days. I’m more for older games and since we got Steam sales and Humble Bundles, I get a lot of them there. At least the Windows games. I haven’t found a legal source for old console games, but we have a lot of emulators for N64, PSP, Arcade machines … as well. And great frontends like Emulationstation.

You could run multiple mail servers. Or download from Sharehosters in parallel. Or download more Youtube videos before the rate limit stops you. Or use virtualization or containers to launch some more virtualized servers.

Sure, I have an old PC with an energy efficient mainboard and a PicoPSU and I wouldn’t want anything else. I believe it does somewhere around 20W-25W though. And I have lots of RAM, a decent (old) CPU and enough SATA ports… Well, I would go for a newer PC, they get more energy efficient all the time… But it’s a lot of effort to pick the components unless some PC magazine writes something or someone has a blog with recommendations.
