Are Large Language Models Really AI?

This is wrong, but its also right.

The importer pays the tariff, but the importer also passes that buck to the consumer. However, if the importer fails to sell what they paid a tariff on, then the importer is the one paying the tariff.

Back on topic:

In Situations Where Most Humans Think You’re Being a Jerk, ChatGPT Will Assure You You’re Behaving Like an Angel

Or, intelligent or not they are programed to be sycophants.

Do you use AI often? I thought AI communication style being sycophants is totally obvious if you use AI a lot. And I am honestly impressed that some internet journalist need to write an article to talk about something THIS obvious. >.>

Also, according to AI they are programmed this way for the sake of good user experience.

i think eventually a lot of that will go away, but the motives behind the people training the AI is important, and not that far off topic from where we were.

Those motives are simply to increase the use of AI.

TLDR: Engagement.

This is technically the correct answer. However, this lead to a very interesting problem: since the tariff is being overturned in the US, the government would have to pay it back. What do you think is going to happen?

I guess since the importer is taking the risk, he will be pocketing that extra cash from selling overpriced imported Labubus.

As a tool, of course it's going to be a sycophant to its user.

Nobody serious wants anything else.

LLM's just tell you want you want to hear, regardless of if it's true nor not.

But people just want to hear what they want to hear regardless of if it's true nor not, so maybe mission accomplished?

The average person probably doesn't pick up on it. There are a lot of scammers who successfully use AI to generate responses to people on dating sites, FB, text messages, etc and a lot of people don't pick up on it.

I went through this somewhat recently. My poor Dad was "dating" someone on some site he met "her" on. A few weeks after they "met", he nearly got scammed out of a lot of money through a pretty clever scam that had him transferring money around until I and the PD caught up to him. I found out about "her" later and when I looked at her messages, it was extremely obvious they were written by AI. According to the PD folks we spoke with, it's really common and scammers are using AI generated messages, most people don't pick up on it.


FWIW it hasn't fully been overturned, IIRC SCOTUS has until mid-month to rule on it. It's really unlikely they'll rule that they have to be refunded.

It's unlikely they'll rule against them in the first place, but refunding them is even more unlikely IMO. Either way, it's not a done deal yet.

This has happened before. The money was refunded.

Its 7:16 in my AM. Not looking for the citation right now.

I mean, your not wrong...

disregard the clickbait title, actually a decent watch with lots of pros and cons

Too wordy, too long, too alarmist and I lasted only 5 minuets.

1st kill of autonomous vehicle is nowhere near 'AI', just machine learning.
2nd kill is also just a 'detect movement, suicide bomb' drone. No intelligence really.
Lots of hype and bs.

Have some Bernie Sanders


In my mind I imagine Chanti is exactly Bernie Sanders irl.

I have more hair than that and I wear aviators.

Who's more likely to reach 90?

He's got three years on me so probably him first.

We are both ashkenazi Jewish who tend to live longer than most.

Wtf I didn't know he was a Jew. Why isn't he trying to destroy the world like Zuckerberg and Altman?

Actually we are supposed to set a good example for rest of the world to follow.

Bernie is doing better than I in that regard.

I'm not going to discuss this subject anymore because I'll get Radial'd
Peace

now we're getting somewhere

A small number of samples can poison LLMs of any size

This as an attack vector is interesting, get it to generate suggestions for a library that hosts malicious code.

Did anyone every thing this wasn't where was gonna go ultimately?

Finally, I can get it to make that RA, Rooks, and Panta fanfic I've always wanted.

Rule 34 says hi!

While its very understandable being attracted by me, I think it is also very questionable the choosen supportive cast
