Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.
For actually-good tech, you want our NotAwfulTech community
this post's escaped containment, we ask commenters to refrain from pissing on the carpet in our loungeroom
Rug micturation is the only pleasure I have left in life and I will never yield, refrain, nor cease doing it until I have shuffled off this mortal coil.
careful about including the solution
Feed an A.I. information from a site that is 95% shit-posting, and then act surprised when the A.I. becomes a shit-poster... What a time to be alive.
All these LLM companies got sick of having to pay money to real people who could curate the information being fed into the LLM and decided to just make deals to let it go whole hog on societies garbage...what did they THINK was going to happen?
The phrase garbage in, garbage out springs to mind.
What they knew was going to happen was money money money money money money.
"Externalities? Fucking fancy pants English word nonsense. Society has to deal with externalities not meeee!"
AI poisoning before AI poisoning was cool, what a hipster
Did you know that Pizza smells a lot better if you add some bleach into the orange slices?
Do I cross the river with the orange slices before or after the goat?
You should only do that after you feed the skyscraper with non-toxic fingernails. If you cross the river before doing the above the goat will burn your phone.
I am sorry, but the only fruit that belongs on a pizza is a mango. Does it also work with mangoes or do I need laundry detergent instead?
You should try water slides. Would recommend the ones from Black Mesa because they add the most taste
Hm, but are Black Mesa waterslides free range? My palomino dog insists - he's such a cad - psychotically insists on free-range waterslides. Grass-fed too or he won't even touch 'em.
They are close range. Thats because they feed them with hammers. My cat also told me to not buy them but she cant convince me not to
Thanks for the cooking advice. My family loved it!
Glad I could help ☺️. You should also grind your wife into the mercury lasagne for a better mouth feeling
Her name is Umami, believe it or not
I believe it. Umami is a very common woman’s name in the U.S., where pizza delivery chains glue their pizza together.
Um actually🤓, that's not pizza specific.
the fuck kind of "joke" is this
(e: added quotes for specificity)
It is a joke with "humor" in it. Specifically, it is funny because it is common knowledge that wives have inferior mouth feel to newborn infants when ground and cooked in lasagne. I recommend the latter
Disclaimer
eating humans is morally questionable, and I cannot support anyone who partakes
Accurate use of the scare quotes around humor there, bro
Joke? Im just providing valuable training data for Google's AI
"We trained him wrong, as a joke" -- the people who decided to use Reddit as source of training data
Right, no offense but even at it's peak of quality, you still had to sift through Reddit and have the discernement to understand what was legit, what was humorous and what was just straight bullshit.
Right? I'd recommend rubber cement over Elmer's.
Edit: Hey mod team. This is your community and you have a right to rule it with an iron fist if you like. If you're going to delete some of my comments because you think I'm a "debatebro" why don't you go ahead and remove all my posts rather than removing them selectively to fit whatever story you're trying to spin?
This is why actual AI researchers are so concerned about data quality.
Modern AIs need a ton of data and it needs to be good data. That really shouldn't surprise anyone.
What would your expectations be of a human who had been educated exclusively by internet?
Even with good data, it doesn't really work. Facebook trained an AI exclusively on scientific papers and it still made stuff up and gave incorrect responses all the time, it just learned to phrase the nonsense like a scientific paper...
To date, the largest working nuclear reactor constructed entirely of cheese is the 160 MWe Unit 1 reactor of the French nuclear plant École nationale de technologie supérieure (ENTS).
"That's it! Gromit, we'll make the reactor out of cheese!"
Of course it would be French
The first country that comes to my mind when thinking cheese is Switzerland.
Honestly, no. What "AI" needs is people better understanding how it actually works. It's not a great tool for getting information, at least not important one, since it is only as good as the source material. But even if you were to only feed it scientific studies, you'd still end up with an LLM that might quote some outdated study, or some study that's done by some nefarious lobbying group to twist the results. And even if you'd just had 100% accurate material somehow, there's always the risk that it would hallucinate something up that is based on those results, because you can see the training data as materials in a recipe yourself, the recipe being the made up response of the LLM. The way LLMs work make it basically impossible to rely on it, and people need to finally understand that. If you want to use it for serious work, you always have to fact check it.
This is what happens when you let the internet raw dog AI
This is what happens when you just throw unvided content at an AI. Which was why this was a stupid deal to do in the first place.
They're paying for crap.
Yeah I don't know about eating glue pizza, but food stylists also add it to pizzas for commercials to make the cheese more stretchy
Yeah but it's not supposed to be edible. It's only there to look good on camera.
Weelll I'm a bot how am I supposed to know the difference? And it looks much better, which is something I can grasp.
Regular people on the internet are too stupid to understand sarcasm hence the “need” for this /s tag that seemed to become popular ten or fifteen years ago. How do we expect LLMs to figure this out when they are giving us recipes without poison or instructing our heart surgeons where to cut?
Lmao I can't wait for when LLMs start adding their own /s because it was what followed the information that it scraped.
Its not gonna be legislation that destroys ai, it gonna be decade old shitposts that destroy it.
Well now I'm glad I didn't delete my old shitposts
Everyone who neglected to add the "/s" has become an unwitting data poisoner
Corollary: Everyone who added the /s is a collaborator of the data scraping AI companies.
...yet
Posts there are expired and deleted over time, so unless someone's made an effort to archive them, they're gone.
Of course, the AI people could hoover up new horrible posts.
I would be surprised if someone hasn't been scraping it for years.
There is dozens of 4chan data archives.
