It’s off center, but still balanced because it hasn’t fallen. I think the point was a more accurate metaphor would be a wedge with a curve, so as it gets shoved in more (and clearly we’re not done shoving it in yet), things get far more tilted, until…

They’ve done a good job mixing them into the results so that you might click on an AI generation, thereby increasing their numbers. The results can vary depending on the topic. Something easy to summarize from hits, it will look good. But I’ve seen some completely wrong results too, because even with the flooding of the “AI” label to make the ignorant think their computer is better, it’s still an LLM under the good with its limitations. Actual search algorithms worked better, bring them back.

I saw a question posted recently asking what age everyone was when they learned that they weren’t going to get any rewards for working extra hard. I guess in some work it’s harder to see than in others.

Oh wow, I didn’t think about how many r sounds. But then if you ask it how many ks are in knight, it should say none.

I watched it solely because he was in it. Awesome movie.

Combining the image of a swimming pool and a mall, the first thing that popped into my mind was some of the backroom variants.

It was thought at one time it was slaves, thanks to the Bible’s story of the Exodus.

Executives: “YES!”

But further research indicates that many workers were highly skilled and probably paid well to participate.

Executives: “Hell no! Not doing that!”

Even the best models fine tuned for coding still have training that was based on both good and bad examples of programming from humans. And since it’s not AGI but using probability to generate the code, you’re going to get crap programming logic dependent on how often such things were used and suggested by humans to other humans. Googling for an answer on how to code something pulls up all sorts of answers from many sources, but reading through them, many are terrible. An LLM doesn’t know that, it just knows that humans liked some answers better than others, so GIGO.

Only so many shiny things can be covered per day.

As a conversational AI, I found this rather funny.

It wasn’t that hard. Don’t ask how I know. 5 cents a minute doesn’t seem like a lot even in 80s dollars, but…well, time flies… And it’s true, that bill only shows up once a month, by then the damage is done.

I’m on the good row, depending on the store and distance back. I have on one occasion delivered a cart back to the store via my car (a good mile or so away) - it was left in our neighborhood, I was doing it for myself and neighbors, not the store, so I don’t know where that puts me. It’s the opposite of true neutral, since presumably someone poor had used it and discarded it.

Yeah, otherwise it would have been very hard before they came into being.

Missed the first sentence I guess. It’s why I included the video for a much better, although also simplified and incomplete answer, and he says why.

It was fun to learn how things work, and when things worked as planned (finally). It’s when they didn’t work that got annoying and frustrating, and with assembly language with basically no error codes or any help, it was just…nope, that wasn’t right. Maybe followed by cycling the computer off and on because it locked up. Still have my old Mapping the Commodore 64 book on the shelf. Huge resource.

Real, totally heavily simplified answer. All atoms could be magnets, but most don’t have a force because the electron orbitals aren’t out enough. In fact just about everything can be explained by what the electron orbitals are doing. Even why the chair you’re sitting in feels solid. It’s the orbitals. See and the deeper lesson on knowing the right questions to ask.

I understood your point fine. I indeed started out with first Commodore BASIC and then into 6502, all using the manuals because there wasn’t much else of a source back then.

I was there. I was one of them. I just chose to use tools to make my life easier. Call me a sell out, I guess.
