Third time's the charm! They have to keep the grift going after Blockchain and NFT failed with the general public.
@arararagi@ani.social Don't forget Metaverse, they took a fuckin bath on that.
As long as there's something to sell for untalented morons to feel intelligent & talented; they'll take the bait.
GitLab Enterprise somewhat recently added support for Amazon Q (based on claude) through an interface they call “GitLab Duo”. I needed to look up something in the GitLab docs, but thought I’d ask Duo/Q instead (the UI has this big button in the top left of every screen to bring up Duo to chat with Q):
(Paraphrasing…)
ME: How do I do X with Amazon Q in GitLab? Q: Open the Amazon Q menu in the GitLab UI and select the appropriate option.
ME: [:looks for the non-existant menu:] ME: Where in the UI do I find this menu?
Q: My last response was incorrect. There is no Amazon Q button in GitLab. In fact, there is no integration between GitLab and Amazon Q at all.
ME: [:facepalm:]

Everyone knows it's properly spelled "I, the ho" not Idaho. That’s why it didn’t make the list.
I don't think this gets nearly enough visibility: https://www.academ-ai.info/
Papers in peer-reviewed journals with (extremely strong) evidence of AI shenanigans.
Thanks for sharing! I clicked on it with cynicism around how easily we could detect AI usage with confidence vs. risking making false allegations, but every single example on their homepage is super clear and I have no doubts - I'm impressed! (and disappointed)
Yup. I had exactly the same trepidation, and then it was all like “As an AI model, I don’t have access to the data you requested, however here are some examples of…”
I have more contempt for the peer reviewers who let those slide into major journals, than for the authors. It’s like the Brown M&M test; if you didn’t spot that blatant howler then no fucking way did you properly check the rest of the paper before waving it through. The biggest scandal in all this isn’t that it happened, it’s that the journals involved seem to be almost never retracting them upon being reported.
They took money away from cancer research programs to fund this.
After we pump another hundred trillion dollars and half the electricity generated globally into AI you're going to feel pretty foolish for this comment.
Just a couple billion more parameters, bro, I swear, it will replace all the workers
- CEOs
only cancer patients benefit from cancer research, CEOs benefit from AI
Tbf cancer patients benefit from AI too tho a completely different type that's not really related to LLM chatbot AI girlfriend technology used in these.

With enough duct tape and chewed up bubble gum, surely this will lead to artificial general intelligence and the singularity! Any day now.
Hurry MacGruber! We're almost out of...BOOM!
Connedicut.
I wondered if this has been fixed. Not only has it not, the AI has added Nebraska.
You mean Connecdicud.

Connecdicud.
Well, for anyone who knows a bit about how LLMs work, it’s pretty obvious why LLMs struggle with identifying the letters in the words

I would estimate that Google's AI is helpful and correct about 7% of the time, for actual questions I'd like the answer to.
You joke, but I bet you didn't know that Connecticut contained a "d"
I wonder what other words contain letters we don't know about.

Well, it's almost correct. It's just one letter off. Maybe if we invest millions more it will be right next time.
Or maybe it is just not accurate and never will be....I will not every fully trust AI. I'm sure there are use cases for it, I just don't have any.

Yesterday i asked Claude Sonnet what was on my calendar (since they just sent a pop up announcing that feature)
It listed my work meetings on Sunday, so I tried to correct it…
You’re absolutely right - I made an error! September 15th is a Sunday, not a weekend day as I implied. Let me correct that: This Week’s Remaining Schedule: Sunday, September 15
Just today when I asked what’s on my calendar it gave me today and my meetings on the next two thursdays. Not the meetings in between, just thursdays.
Something is off in AI land.
Edit: I asked again: gave me meetings for Thursday’s again. Plus it might think I’m driving in F1

Hey look the markov chain showed its biggest weakness (the markov chain)!
In the training data, it could be assumed by output that Connecticut usually follows Colorado in lists of two or more states containing Colorado. There is no other reason for this to occur as far as I know.
Markov Chain based LLMs (I think thats all of them?) are dice-roll systems constrained to probability maps.
Edit: just to add because I don't want anyone crawling up my butt about the oversimplification. Yes. I know. That's not how they work. But when simplified to words so simple a child could understand them, its pretty close.

The letters that make up words is a common blind spot for AIs, since they are trained on strings of tokens (roughly words) they don't have a good concept of which letters are inside those words or what order they are in.

Blows my mind people pay money for wrong answers.
Listen, we just have to boil the ocean five more times.
Then it will hallucinate slightly less.
Or more. There’s no way to be sure since it’s probabilistic.
