Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

MODERATORS
You're going to be happy about its application in biochemisty, genetics and astronomy. The volumes of data needing analysis are staggering, they're just the perfect tasks for a robot brain.
Different than LLM. It's other machine learning that are just using the AI label now to join the hype train. Not you same as what openAI and other AI companies are selling
But... isn't it the other way around? LLMs are just one type of AI and they used the overall term AI to hype their products because it sounds better.
Kind of. AI is now the catch all now but that's because LLM were called generative AI. So the older terms all followed suit to catch the hype train. But most of the problems with AI are LLM specifics.

Generative AI is a specific subset of Deep Learning, which is a subset of Machine Learning, which is a subset of AI. Generative AI includes more than just LLMs. It also includes the image and video AI creations. There are also GenAI than makes music.
Machine Learning is typically creating versions of things that existed prior, or recreating things from behavior extracted from prior data. Deep Learning is similar but employs neural networks of various types. The distinction between GenAI and Deep Learning is that GenAI creates something that never existed before, essentially original works.
Your base point in this conversation stands though. The Deep Learning used in science for analyzing patterns or behavior in, say, biology, is very different (and its more useful) than GenAI and the slop it can produce.
The chart is good and all but I've been a data scientist now for almost 10 years. Most of these terms have changed more then once. There are mostly marketing terms. I've done deep learning, machine learning, data mining (my favorite term), statistical learning, predictive analysis and now AI while using mostly the same things.
Its an imperfect solution to an otherwise difficult task. I don't know if anyone in science should be happy to use it since its results aren't generally reproducible (a problem that already existed in biochemistry and genetics) but I could see it as being helpful at narrowing down datasets too large for people to handle.
I think with this epstein stuff too if the code and training data is not open there's always a possibility AI has been set to filter something (such as Trump's name).
Data Hoarder doing the lord's work.
Kinda looks like it's a data set from the scrubbed files with no mention of the president's name. I've seen his name in formerly released Epstein files so I know it should be there. There was a contact page with about 20 trump phone numbers and his email address released in the past along with other files.
Wasn't Trump's name coded as something like Defendant A or something along those lines so it doesn't simply show by Ctrl-F?
174, I believe John doe? I can't remember but it was something 174
People gonna get disappeared for this.
