Wonder if this is some sort of pre model collapse sign.

Talked to somebody who is really into chatbot roleplay (of the ‘longer term stories with new fantasy characters’ type), and he mentioned that he needs to take his characters stories and archetypes to different models every now and then as a sort of refresh, as the models tend to eventually converge into certain stuck patterns. First clue of this seems to be that the replies seem to start to become a similar pattern of text organization. Sorry if this is vague as it is second hand, but the main point is, text based LLMs prob also do this.

That would be such a “we didnt know the dotcom bubble was popping a month later” move.

Obscure crypto programming term. Sure

Wonder how they managed to do that legally, saying it was AI but letting people see the data makes me think they might have broken a few laws.

Took me a second to realize you were actually talking about backgammon, and not using gammon (as in the british angry ham) as a word replacement.

This makes me wonder, how hard is backgammon? As in computability wise, on the level of chess? Go? Or somewhere else?

80 character limit

Lot of roguelike development in the past was still obsessed with that. Was a bit amusing, think even they have dropped this now.

I feel bad for the gullible ND people who spend time applying to this thinking they might have a chance and it isn’t a high level coverup attempt.

Otoh, somebody should take some fun drugs and tape their interviews, see how it works out. Are there any Hunter S Tech journalists around?

Him fellating musk re tesla is funny considering the recent stories about reliability abd how the market is doing. And also the roadster 2, and the whole pivot to ai/ROBOTS!

The electrons is turning into an annoying shibboleth. Also going to age oddly if more light based components really kick off. (Ran into somebody who is doing some phd work on that, or at least that is what I got from the short description he gave).

Getting mad because developers have not had time to update a piece of code that wraps another piece of code and blaming it on the language is in interesting choice.

Telling a whole project ‘your language sucks you should rewrite it in my pet language’ is always a nice classic of the nerd genre. (Happy I never got a big language hangup like that. (Apart from a short bit of a dislike of functional programming languages, but that was just due to a bad early experience)).

Why do they think they are going to have any input in genAI development either way?

Anyway seeing a previous wave of shit burden you with a lot of unrelated work after deployment isnt the best reason to now start burdening yourself with a lot of unrelated work before the new wave of shot is here. But sure good luck learning how LLMs work mathematically Kevin.

Yeah, it also has an element of ‘it is one of the few words you can add to search engines which give you a hope of a good result’ and not regular users who see the shit, or got offered nfts.

Somebody wrote an article that seems to be especially designed to piss people like us off. https://testdouble.com/insights/anyone-can-code-software-is-having-its-ratatouille-moment

I saw it and I’m spreading my pain around. (As an additional bonus, the site jumps back upwards in the text for me constantly).

A few people on bsky were claiming that at least reddit is still good re the AI crappification, and they have no idea what is coming.

Sir a NaNth deletion has hit the home directory.

It gets worse, our local anti piracy org BREIN went after smaller llms for copyright infringement. But nothing about the big ones it seems.

From too big to fail to too big to sue.

Here’s the bottom line: I have no idea what motivated Cremieux to include Burt’s fraudulent data, but even without it his visual is highly misleading, if not manipulative

Well, the latter part of this sentence gives a hint at the actual reason.

And the first comment is by Hanania lol, trying to debunk the fraud allegations by saying that is just how things were done back then. While also not realizing he didnt understand the first part of the article. Amazing how these iq anon guys always react quick and to everything. Also was quite an issue on Reddit, where just a small dismissal of IQ could lead to huge (copy pasted) rambling defenses of IQ.

The author is also calling Richard out on his weird framing.

I might be able to borrow a digital copy and run a search through it, but im afk for now.

Did they? Dont think Rand thought that far and the robots were fan fiction.
