The funniest thing about this is that it's grifters grifting people in order use the data they collect to grift other grifters. I cannot picture the "training data" they acquire ever being worth even the pittance they pay the low level marks this ad is aimed at.

I seem to recall one of the primates we taught sign language to indicated that they liked cooked food more because it tasted better.

Well, unless they want to pay a quarter million Euro every time their chatbot lies about someone, yeah.

?

I fail to see how you got the idea I support LLMs or their companies from my post.

If you're quick you can hit stop and keep the popup from loading. Or you can just turn off javascript.

Eh, when you consider how often LLM's spit out wrong answers it could add up quick.

If anyone important does get fired they'll just get re-hired by another company who needs some doofus to fill a position in upper management.

I've been thinking a printable Dr. Breen mask might work. It just needs to be something good to fool the algorithm when you tape it too your face.

You forgot "It'll be private because we'll 'anonymize' it before we sell it"

Oh my gosh... I am so shocked. Shocked beyond measure I tell you.

Right, but is that gonna stop Trump or Hegseth?

I think there would be plenty of complex organic molecules. I mean you basically have a planet wide Urey-Miller experiment running for millennia with no life to eat any of the molecules generated, so they'd just... build up. I can't remember where I read it (so you'll just need to take my word for it), but some scientist posited that the pre-biotic Earth's oceans may have had a foot or so of oily sludge floating on them.

But it's important to consider that, even though they aren't eaten, these generated compounds aren't just idly siting around on this pre-biotic Earth. Waves are whipping the ocean sludge into an emulsion on every shore line of the world, tide pools are filling, getting baked by the sun and then washed into the ocean again. Lightning strikes are electrolizing the sludge and lava from primordial volcanos is scorching it. Most importantly with no ozone layer the sun's UV is blasting the Earth, breaking apart molecules or crosslinking them together into new more complex molecules.

 

So firstly sorry if this isn't a appropriate post for this community, but I had a shower thought a few days back.

LLM's have gotten sufficiently advanced that they can usually detect Markov (or randomly) generated text even when it's fed into the front end. As such, it seems likely that most "AI" companies either have or will have some sort of pre-screening pass to "clean" the raw data crawled from the internet. Heck, I'm sure they're filtering the data with a AI detection algorithm too.

However, there was this conspiracy parody site a while back called "Verified Facts". The sites down now and something that wanted to install a Firefox extension, so don't go there. Luckily there are many instances of pages still on archive.org to get an idea for what sort of stuff it generated. And I was thinking, this is some (mostly) grammatically correct, constantly on point drivel that would probably bypass both Markov and AI detectors.

So it seems like if you were going to make an "AI tar pit" you'd get much better results with one that tricks the AI into ingesting auto generated Madlib pages filled out with a list of randomly picked words.

 

Since there is no thread about this on Lemmy, I figured I may as well make one in case someone hadn't heard about it.

Anyway, a new app called Netpass has been released that allows Streetpass over the internet. The app is still kinda rough, a few games like Tomodachi Life have a minor bugs, but for the most part it works almost exactly like if you conventionally streetpassed someone.
