/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

I understand how Shatner reached that conclusion by anthropomorphizing AI. It's completely detached from reality. AI isn't conscious and thus guiding it doesn't make any sense.

We couch things in technical language, but that’s exactly what RLHF is.

In my opinion there is a difference between training and guiding. At least in the context of animals, "guiding" them is usually not used and I believe the situation is similar here.

Is your opinion substantive or linguistic?

[–] Lichtblitz@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I'm not a native speaker. My opinion may or may not be representative. If you can't even "guide" a pet, then you can't "guide" an LLM, which is much simpler than the brain of a pet.

I don’t know what to tell you. We call it “reinforcement learning”, but it’s obviously nothing like actual human learning. The difference between rlhf and actual learning is much bigger than between guiding and training.
