He was never in it for personal growth he was in it for financial gains. He was a mere grifter, his opinions were for sale. There is a lot of money in right wing grifting when you reach his level of notoriety. His personal beliefs conveniently always pointed in the direction of money. Worth about $12m when he was executed. He believed in his bank accounts.
The problem will always be that you have to use an llm to ask questions in natural language. Which means it gets training data from outside whatever database you’re trying to get information from. There isn’t enough training data in an encyclopedia to make an llm.
So it can’t be better because if it doesn’t find anything it will still respond to your questions in a way that makes it seem it did what you ask. It just isn’t as reliable as you yourself checking and going through the data. It can make you faster and find connections you wouldn’t make yourself easily. But you can just never trust it as you can trust an encyclopedia.
that’s just circular reasoning, since understanding is needed for communication.
You mean that reality might have been created by intelligent being(s)? wow… Nobody ever thought about that one before.
I don’t know why we should take 12 year olds as an example? Surely you didn’t know certain things at 12 that you know now. Assuming you are 13+
I’m just saying that things will trickle into common knowledge. And there will always be people who know jack shit. Obviously.
But when you play music from a streaming service you don’t go like. Wow people had to rewind cassette tapes! No, you understand the progression music carriers have made and just enjoy the music. You could buy a tape recorder and tapes and they are still available, if you would want. The same applies to coding, and other technologies.
You mean that less people need to understand code? Like that’s just natural progression. There are many coding languages because hardly anybody knows how to code in machine language or punch cards and we’ve been making coding easier for humans. The progression to natural language is a natural one.
LLMs bridging the gap between coding and natural language isn’t going to be a mystery in the future. Just like we don’t go like “a person punched all those holes in the cards? no way!” Because yes they did and we all understand that that was something that needed to be done at that time. We simply appreciate the amount of work it took. It’s a lot more that typing ‘cryptic letters’, which we will all know in the future also as coding. i don’t understand why you believe everybody in the future is an idiot.
Never enjoyed meat and i’ve been vegan for 7 years now. I really couldn’t care less about it. I don’t see the appeal, you’re all just talking like a bunch of junkies.
and then?
Same, im in The Netherlands.
if it quacks like a duck…
Ella is a stupid name for a salmon anyway.
Enormous potential inside all of us.
Too bad.
Capitalism.
Two things, firstly the one thing that needs to be avoided at all costs is raising taxes. Since this robs working and succesful people from their personal ability to take care of themselves and their families. Secondly that there needs to be a class distinction between the people who take advantage of the system and those who don’t. That is to say that in their mind society is functioning in such a way that anybody can ‘make it’ through some effort. And that those who supposedly don’t put in the effort aren’t supposed to be cuddled and given handouts, as an incentive to put in the effort as well.
There is perfectly fine education, care and protection through private parties. Just hire those. You can’t? Well I guess you aren’t trying hard enough. We can concentrate police presence in criminal neighbourhoods. We can concentrate care and education in the neighbourhoods that do function correctly.
This is their ideology I’m describing, not my own, just to be clear. Im being sarcastic.
Reality is ofcourse more nuanced than what im saying, after all the neocon ideology needs to exist in the real world and adapt to it. Which mostly seems to lead to populism.
There are several dials that can be tweaked to balance the budget. A (neo)liberal is for low taxes, small government, and selfcare. So their cuts, when the governments expenses are higher then the incomes, are in public services. And they won’t put it back, because that’s against their ideology.
Yes, but only if you got it from a civet that is roadkill.
It does matters who did/does the art. That’s only possible if you can separate the two. Art can be copied and has been since forever. People value the same art from different artists differently. It’s not the art itself that carries the value. If the painting of the Mona Lisa in the Louvre turned out to be a facsimile for display, it’s identical in every way, would the people enjoy it less? Say that it isn’t ‘real’ even though it is right there in front of their eyes? Would that facsimile be worth the same? Clearly people aren’t just interested in what the art is, but who made it. We believe that the artist puts meaning and intent in the art, but these aren’t in the art itself. For most of the art we experience that is completely unavailable to us. There is clearly a distinction between our experience of art and our experience of art from the ‘original’ artist. So while knowing who made what and why adds value to art, it isn’t necessary to experience and enjoy this art.
It is completely conceivable that someone feels attracted to the aesthetics of art whilst fully ignorant about the artist. The artist can’t control someones emotions, thoughts and feelings. It’s not the artist who decided what aesthetics evolved adter millions of years of human evolution, conditioning, culture. An artist can only hope to align themselves to it and hope people agree on it. And so good art can elicit all the right feelings even when nothing is known about the. artist.
Yeah we share things all the time. Give eachother tips or advice on how to do things differently, or how to handle certain situations. We see eachother grow and improve, and become better humans. That’s definitely a goal we both share, and talking about what happened is kinda a prerequisite.
Some sounds just become the thing they are supposed to represent. They aren’t used because there are no more sounds to be made. Two reasons.
First. Directors won’t use a schnauzer as a guard dog in a movie, because they don’t portrait the intention of a guard dog on screen. For exactly the same reason you can’t use a gong as a laser sound, it doesn’t portrait a laser.
Second. People have collected sounds and made them available. There are stock sounds, just like there are stock pictures.
And so, certain sounds have become used for certain things. And the more they are used the more iconic they become. The Wilhelm scream, red tailed hawk, and many more.
It’s particularly sensitive to false dichotomies, and used to justify immoral behavior.
It’s far more effective to argue from the veil of ignorance.
