This might be a wild take but people always make AI out to be way more primitive than it is.

Yes, in it's most basic for an LLM can be described as an auto-complete for conversations. But let's be real: the amount of different optimizations and adjustments made before and after the fact is pretty complex, and the way the AI works is pretty close already to a brain. Hell that's where we started out; emulating a brain. And you can look into this, the base for AI is usually neural networks, which learn to give specific parts of an input a specific amount of weight when generating the output. And when the output is not what we want, the AI slowly adjusts those weights to get closer.

Our brain works the same in it's most basic form. We use electric signals and we think associative patterns. When an electric signal enters one node, this node is connected via stronger or lighter bridges to different nodes, forming our associations. Those bridges is exactly what we emulate when we use nodes with weighted connectors in artificial neural networks.

Our AI output is quality wise right now pretty good, but integrity and security wise pretty bad (hallucinations, not following prompts, etc.), but saying it is performing at the level of a three year old is simultaneously under-selling and overselling how AI performs. We should be aware that just because it's AI doesn't mean it's good, but it also doesn't mean it's bad either. It just means there's a feature (which is hopefully optional) and then we can decide if it's helpful or not.

I do music production and I need cover art. As a student, I can't afford commissioning good artworks every now and then, so AI is the way to go and it's been nailing it.

As a software developer, I've come to appreciate that after about 2y of bad code completion AIs, there's finally one that is a net positive for me.

AI is just like anything else, it's a tool that brings change. How that change manifests depends on us as a collective. Let's punish bad AI, dangerous AI or similar (copilot, Tesla self driving, etc.) and let's promote good AI (Gmail text completion, chatgpt, code completion, image generators) and let's also realize that the best things we can get out of AI will not hit the ceiling of human products for a while. But if it costs too much, or you need quick pointers, at least you know where to start.

On windows, there's an ascii/unicode char lookup table system tool, which you can use to search and copy special characters. Just FYI.

This is a rhetorical question. This does not belong in here I believe.

Damn that's a really good hand. That's impressive.

Yeah that's a lot of information framing.

No.

I guess the only way it factors in is if I knew she has more experience / is in a different stage of life with relationships.

But that's got to do with age and maturity more than anything.

Admirable

I wanna punch racists and Nazis so bad.

Why the fuck do you think you're better or worse depending on your skin color or ethnic background?

This is basic biology, how you are is almost completely disconnected from what you look like.

I'm so sorry for all that stuff. Hope you found a way to deal with it.

Basically by letting it linger in your mind and then when you make a song you remember certain things about it and some of those things you try out.

Now legally it gets complicated, but it always comes down to how close you are to the original.

Been absolutely obsessed with that one lately and even more so given they seem to be a small band with a really good song.

Been using copilot and another smaller AI model for hobby projects. Both of them slowed me down as much as they helped me with my code.

Now I've switched to supermaven free tier, and it's actually net positive for me.

It's not like it's writing whole functions for me, but it's actually quite context sensitive when it comes to defining functions and using them with the same parameters and things like that. I won't say I am 50% faster, but I could easily attribute a 30% development boost to it. Now mind you, for bug fixes and bug prevention that's back down to a 5% boost in speed, but that's still a net positive, so I'll take that.

I mean I appreciate the joke but this is a question community, so I understand why people who don't get the reference are gonna answer that. No need to get groggy.

You might not wanna hear this:

Depends on your definition of radfem and on how well we fit and how they are

• if we don't match, nah
• if their vibe is completely off to the point I'm not sure I'll be alive after that week, nah
• if their beliefs get in the way of a relationship, nah

Otherwise sure I guess? This a really vague question so if you are more specific, I could get you a better answer.

Because on Netflix what you're skipping is something you expect and maybe even want to see. On YouTube it's ads, which you don't necessarily expect nor want to see. And the skip button is just associated with that.

Also, on YouTube you sometimes have to skip multiple consecutive ads, sometimes you have to wait for a few seconds, and sometimes you can't skip them at all. It's not made to be practical, it's made to serve you as much ad-time as possible, as that is the bread and butter for YouTube (contrary to popular belief they don't make a lot of money, so it makes sense. Although I'm not sure I like they way they try to make money to stay in business).

They do but the amount of information is way smaller for the others. With your search engine of choice you'll find the posts though if there are any.

Played it on PC and it's really cool, although I was hesitant at first considering it looks a bit like those cookie cutter role based rpgs that just want to rent a spot in your wallet.

Yeah honestly this makes a lot of sense to me.

Omg I wanna go there now

Reading the comments on this makes me realize how often we think about animals, considering we apparently have thousands of different ways to categorize them, even if it's more by vibe than anything else...

Their lawyers are vocally rubbing their hands rn
