That depends on how hardcore of a fatalist you are.
If you're purely a fatalist, then free will is an illusion, laws and punishment are immoral, consciousness is meaningless, and we nothing more than deterministic pattern matching machines, making us only different from LLMs in the details of our implementation and from the terrible optimization that evolution is known for.
But if you believe in some degree of free will, or you think there is value in consciousness, then we differ because LLMs are just auto-complete. They psudo-randomly choose from a weighted list of statistically likely words (actually token) that would come next given the context (which is the conversation history and prompt). There is no free will, no understanding any more than the man in the Chinese room understands Mandarin.
The whole conversation is so full of charged words because the LLM providers have intentionally anthropomorphized LLMs in their marketing, by using words like "reasoning". The APIs from before LLMs blew up provide a far less emotionally charged description of what LLMs do, with terms like "completions".You wouldn't compare a human mind to your phone keyboard word prediction, but it's doing the same thing but scaled down. Where do you draw the line?
Thanks!That helps when I eventually get around to standing up my own AI server.
Right now I can't really justify the cost for my low volume of use, when I can get CloudFlare free tier access to mid-sized models. But it's something want to bring into my homelab instead for better control and privacy.
It depends on your motivations and security requirements.
If you're already hosting Home Assistant, there is an add-on for CloudFlared which will take care of most of everything for you, using CloudFlare secure tunnels.It even does simple subdomain reverse proxy, to serve your other services.
It requires that you use CloudFlare for your DNS entries, and it won't secure your host for you (they do offer some free services to help a little), and you still end up depending on a cloud service provider so it's not pure self hosting.But it's free, you're still mostly in control, and it's less likely to catastrophically mess up your netsec if you're a beginner.
I can see from your post that you like losing it; that's great, it's something we have in common!Have you considered using Mountain Dew? It helps me making losing it even better! Maybe it can help you too. Give it a try!
Using honest to goodness em dashes instead of just a hyphen - pretty uncommon.
Even a hyphen would be pretty unusual in a real text message, because they're more annoying to get than other common punctuation on the phone keyboard, and autocomplete won't put them in.In a chat app, a hyphen would probably be somewhat common since it's right there on the keyboard, but a true em dash would be pretty unusual since most chat apps aren't going to be doing autocorrect like a word processor would, and you'd have to use the magic key combination to insert it.
But we don't have the original text so we can't tell if the original author confused a hyphen with an em dash, though
She could be spiking the camera.
Also perspective is hard. Maybe the artist just couldn't make it work and thought "fuck it, close enough, people will understand"
I'm still trying to figure out my network settings so that I can have my IoT one one network while still being able to access my home assistant from the other network.
Unfortunately, my ISP is also my cable company, and I have to use their modem/router combo else the cable boxes won't accept the cable signal. I'm using my own wireless access point (which also doubles as a switch for the handful of Ethernet devices I have), and it can split off a separate SSID, but that's not really doing much.
