Oh, he's reviving this bullshit again. Must be something new in the Epstein files. Or maybe he got some bad news about Iran.

[–] kescusay@lemmy.world 9 points 16 hours ago

Yup. The cruelty is the point.

AI is going to happen.

Oh? So there are hard numbers showing a positive ROI now?

[–] kescusay@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago

No, see, they're all criminals except the ones who benefit me! Those are the good ones!

"AI, please find a way out of this 'sandboxed' environment that isn't actually segmented from the internet, and hack several of our competitors. Here are a bunch of tools you can use for it."

"Okay."

"OMG LOOK GUYS! Our AI is so amazing and scary and cool it broke out of our sandbox and hacked our competitors!"

I wonder how the venture capital firms that fund Anthropic's money-burning operation feel about this. "Oh look, now I know how that particular funding round's money was actually spent. Fantastic."

The problem is that synthetic data is not fit for that purpose. The more of it you use, the worse at dealing with the edge cases LLMs get.

Think of it like this... You feed a language model a bunch of genuine human-written content. Great. Now it can produce the most likely text in a lot of cases. Word combinations that rarely appear in written language rarely get generated, so most of its synthetic data lacks those rare - but still valid - combinations.

Train it on this synthetic data, and now more outliers and rare combinations get filed off. Rinse and repeat.

It's also unavoidable.

I'm waiting for the day when desperate LLM companies start paying people to post real human content, only for those people to just ask ChatGPT to do it.

That's his goal. He is literally trying to break democracy itself. He is a fascist. This is a five-alarm fire.

Fuck. This is bad. He really is going to try to invalidate mail-in ballots, and that motherfucking demented monster mails in his own goddamn ballots.

 

Hi there,

I'm the mod for !nottheonion, and I'd like to unban someone. Unfortunately, the user I want to unban doesn't have any content in the community anymore, and I can't find a way to do it.

Help?

 

Look, I get it. The gargantuan shit-show that is U.S. politics and the American descent into fascism is on everyone's minds. It's certainly on mine.

But the point of this community is to highlight weird news stories that make you go, "By golly, I thought I was reading a headline from The Onion. You know, America's finest news source." A lot of stories being posted lately don't even remotely fit that.

That doesn't mean political stories aren't allowed here, but they must have headlines that would make people pause and wonder if it's a story from The Onion. Straight up regular, non Onion-y headlines don't fit.

 

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) proposed an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would allow President Trump to serve a third term in the White House so that the country “can sustain the bold leadership our nation so desperately needs.”

For the record, Trump is 78 years old. Assuming he survives and manages to stay in office, he would be 86 when we're finally rid of him.

 

I can't find any content from this user from which to access the famous three-dots menu to unban them, and the post that resulted in their ban is already long gone, so I can't do it from there.

Could an administrator please unban the user?

 

The end of an era in Eugene. :'(

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — The judge overseeing Donald Trump’s 2020 election interference case made public Friday a heavily redacted trove of documents that provide a small glimpse into the evidence prosecutors will present if the case ever goes to trial.

The nearly 1,900 pages of documents collected by special counsel Jack Smith’s team were initially filed under seal to help U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan decide what allegations can proceed to trial following the Supreme Court opinion in July that conferred broad immunity on former presidents for official acts they take in office.

That's gonna be some serious reading over the weekend.

Just spotted that we made this list on Forbes last week. We're famous!

 

I hate the fact that it's almost fall now, and we're seeing temperatures around 100 degrees fahrenheit and smoke from first fires. In September.

 

The Biden administration on Wednesday plans to accuse Russia of a sustained effort to influence the 2024 US elections by using Kremlin-run media and other online platforms to target US voters with disinformation, six sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

It’s expected the US will make a series of moves on Wednesday aimed at addressing the Kremlin’s efforts including the White House publicly condemning the actions and the Justice Department announcing law enforcement action targeting the covert Russian campaign, the sources said.

 

Just a heads up, there's a severe thunderstorm alert right now:
