New Research Reveals AI Lacks Independent Learning, Poses No Existential Threat
ZipNada writes: New research reveals that large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT cannot learn independently or acquire new skills without explicit instructions, making them predictable and controllable. The study dispels fears of these models developing complex reasoning abilities, emphasizing that while LLMs can genera … ⌘ Read more

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Variable names used with -eq in [[ ]] are automatically expanded even without $ as explained in the “ARITHMETIC EVALUATION” section of the bash man page. Interesting. Trying this on OpenBSD’s ksh, it seems “set -u” doesn’t affect that substitution.

Morphotrophic by Greg Egan is built around an idea for how life on Earth could have worked out differently. It gets increasingly strange and interesting as the story progresses. My partner and I finished it last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. The beginning is free online: https://gregegan.net/MORPHOTROPHIC/00/MorphotrophicExcerpt.html #scifi #reading

@movq@www.uninformativ.de It’s hot here as well. Luckily should only last a couple of days. Bunkering down in our home and keeping all the doors and windows closed. No airco. Fans give some relieve.

@prologic@twtxt.net 35°C outside. 🫤 I’m just gonna sit here and wait for November. 😂

just some “training” in the humidity and such trying to keep it in the blue zone. frustrating! felt fine though.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de If it still existed I bet the first thing he’d do is convert it to Golang 👌🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t know what you mean when you call them stochastic parrots, or how you define understanding. It’s certainly true that current language models show an obvious lack of understanding in many situations, but I find the trend impressive. I would love to see someone achieve similar results with much less power or training data.

OK I found this one, small enough, but where does it install to? can’t find the app, of any files of anything.
Being a total novice to Linux stuff….where is this file located and why don’t they prompt you for a folder location of the program? And why such a stupid name? Dozens to choose from and most over 300MB, not what I want - I just want Apache to run the index.html webpage or the index.php webpage. I do not need Javascript or Java programming editors….

@prologic@twtxt.net I thought “stochastic parrot” meant a complete lack of understanding.

not as long as i would have liked. got a late start because, well, i was enjoying the sleep! then i saw at 0500 the rain was not scheduled anymore so i slept in. then it rained!

so this run was hot, no cloud cover, 90% RH and about 90F. it was brutal. but overall had to cut it short due to shivers all over the body. i was not going to push it when i may be overheating.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de The success of large neural nets. People love to criticize today’s LLMs and image models, but if you compare them to what we had before, the progress is astonishing.

@prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de Nothing can beat AI powered rice cooker! 😜

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org I do like to think of that recommendation as sarcastic stab at twt-errr’s rules 😉 so, IMO the more a twt exceeds the recommended limit the merrier! 😂

@prx@si3t.ch ROFL. 🤣 Come on! That’s evil. At least give them cup of hot chocolate, make it a win-win.

@prologic@twtxt.net Thanks. It’s from a non-Euclidean geometry project: https://www.falsifian.org/blog/2022/01/17/s3d/

@prologic@twtxt.net Thanks for the invitation. What time of day?

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org by the way, on the last Saturday of every month, we generally hold a online video call/social meet up, where we just get together and talk about stuff if, you’re interested in joining us this month.

@prologic@twtxt.net Fair enough! I just added some metadata.

Thanks @prologic@twtxt.net! I like the way Yarn.social is making all of twtxt stronger, not just Yarn.social pods.

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org You need an Avatar 😅

felt rested but a bit unmotivated. garmin told me to do this and glad i did because it was a big confidence and morale boost. did not feel rough at any but definitely produced buckets of sweat.

OTS works Soo great! 👌 Juat got my mother to use it to share some creds so I could take over her web hosting needs 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net HAHA! Couldn’t say it better. I started abandoning main stream social media as soon as is it stopped feeling like connecting and sharing with other human beings and became an urge for feeding an algorithm and hoping for it’s blessing to get a glimpse of human interaction It deems worthy of having.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Because we don’t have milk crates here in Germany. :-D At least I never came across them for milk, just the cardboard boxes for the milk tetra paks. But they don’t hold the weight of a monitor.
