Individual creatures do have their own traits that make them differ from the rest. They aren’t robots following the exact same instruction for every stimulus. That being said, personality implies a sense of agency or self-awareness, and I don’t think they have that. Humans have a built in desire to anthropomorphize anything that begins to resemble something human-like, it’s in our brain.

Sure. After removing yourself from the conditions. My guess is that either this meme’s suggestion is exactly what’s happening, or rather she is barely aware of things and the paramedic is asking if she can find a number on her phone for them to call a loved one. Had to do that at work once with someone who had a seizure and couldn’t stay conscious long enough to call themselves.

As bad as the smartphone is for other reasons, it’s wonderful for being there as a contact tool when you need it.

Whenever I see the 1% or 99% numbers when discussing wealth inequality, this fact is the first thing that comes to mind. We need to use decimal points to get to the real ones in power. 1% contains a lot of people who have money, but are still out of the loop as the rest of us, or as Carlin said, “not in the Club”. They are millionaires, but like they say, the difference between a million and a billion is about a billion.

And that’s US - many Americans are in the 1% in worldwide numbers, with rough income numbers being around half a million income. Again, they may or may not be comfortable depending on their expenses, but having money doesn’t mean you have power. It’s the .1 that is the beginning of that, and the .01 is moving the pieces for everyone.

(The numbers are just estimates, there’s gray areas everywhere, the point is the top people want us to be yelling at the top middle and ignore what they do.)

Why wouldn’t they give an example of what they are talking about?

The twist - AI was originally trained on human input, so it’s human even with 99% bots, from a certain point of view.

May be little and cute, but the look on that face is full honey badger. I’d turn and run.

“I’ve got a bad feeling about this.”

“You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”

“Get busy livin’, or get busy dyin’.'”

“Now that’s a real shame when folks be throwin’ away a perfectly good white boy like that.”

I think the biggest problem is when one partner believes that the other is condemned for eternity in some way (not just a hell, but also other forms like reincarnation to a lower state or anything else deemed bad)…and either they spend the relationship trying to change the other person and probably ruining it, or worse, they accept that fate for someone they claim to love.

As an atheist, I don’t have that concern that my loved one is doomed to torment somehow, I just have the here and now to try and make their life with me as pleasant as I can. There is the issue of whether or not an atheist could live with someone whose rational is governed by beliefs that affect their judgement, either like mentioned above trying to convert them for their sake, or in other ways where religion steers them vs. having their own thoughts. But for what I think is a large majority, religious people mostly go through the motions if any just to fill some subconscious uncertainty and it’s not enough to threaten a relationship with a differing viewpoint.

The human brain is very good at compartmentalizing things to help us get through the day.

Any reason given? Not that they have to give one, it’s still their property to do what they want with it. I would keep an eye on them and if they somehow in the future come out with something very similar, I hope there are good records of the past years of work and discussion. Since it was going to be free and not for profit, not really a case for lost income, but there must be some laws to protect people working in good faith with a trademark knowingly who get their ideas stolen FOR profit. If that happens.

I’d disagree with Rogue One as a first intro to Star Wars simply because there’s a lot of assumptions of knowledge of things explained at a minimum in ANH. If anything, ANH first, then Rogue One to cover the stolen plans story that is mentioned all throughout.

The only benefit for seeing Rogue One before ANH is to explain why Vader is so pissed at the princess.

I think Meta and others went open with their models as firewall protection against legal action due to their blatant stealing of people’s work to train with. If the models has stayed commercial and controlled within the company, they could be (probably still wouldn’t be, but could be) forced to shut down or start over properly. But it’s far too late now since it’s everywhere there is a GPU running, even if models don’t progress past current state.

That being said, not much is getting done about the safety factors. Yes, they are only LLMs and not AGI, but there’s commonality in regards to not being sure what’s going on inside the box and if it’s really doing what it’s told to do. Now is the time boundaries and research should be done, because once something happens (LLM or AGI) it’s too late. So what do I want to see happen? Heavy regulation and transparency on the leading edge of development. And stop the madness of more compute being the only solution with its environmental effects. It might be the only solution, but companies are going that way because it’s the easiest way to throw money at a problem and reap profits, which is all they care about.

Free market. Oh well.

And there is the motive. I did not guess it was a used car salesman.

I’ll add to the bias. I created both a kbin account and a Lemmy.one account when the migration happened. Preferred kbin’s look and feel, then changed over to mbin when Ernest started having issues. Haven’t looked back, mbin is great.

The fan of the game that spends more time in the official forums defending the company’s bad decisions than actually playing.

I think he nailed the character in Bladerunner 2049, but maybe it suited him so it worked.

Throwaway account: “…asking for a friend.”

His mother chose poorly. Not just in a name either.

It occurred just like gasoline shortages occur. If the media doesn’t make headlines that suggest buying as much as you can immediately, even if there is a supply chain problem things can adjust to meet normal demands. But when everyone takes all the stock at the same time, even a running production can’t keep up with that demand in a just-in-time system. I experienced a local fuel shortage before because of news of a damaged oil pipeline far away, and gas became unavailable for a few days, then started filling back up, all long before the pipeline issue would have affected us.
