  • Git is, but it has no process of discovery or hosting by itself. Those are needed to efficiently share open source software to large numbers of people.

  • An Alarming Number of Gen Z Ai Users Think It's Conscious

    Jump

  • I agree, there are two consistent points of view with regards to conciousness IMO: either it is an emergent property of systems regardless of what they are made of, so there is no reasons machines couldnt be concious even if none now are; or that conciousness is a supernatural quantity that isnt a property of mater and energy that can be studied by science.

    I dissagree with the later but it is far more consistent than people who claim to be materialist but insist there is something magicial about the matter in brains that can not be replicated by other forms of matter.

  • 10% to 80% seems like too wide a range for your range of "how many are on the largest instance" 10% means only 1 in ten users are on the largest instance and 9/10 are spread out on the rest, If anything that seems overly fragmented. On the other end 80% means 4/5 users are on the largest instance and 1/5 are shared between all other instances which is incredibly concentrated.

    I'd sugest narrowing the range to 20% to 66%, 1 in 5 on the largest instance is still plenty dispersed to ensure that there is competition/variety and 2 in 3 users on the largest instance is already well into monopoly territory.

  • As per the article:

    It uses high frequency radio waves to disrupt or damage critical electronic components inside drones, causing them to crash or malfunction.

    Its not jamming the comms, its inducing currents inside the electronics of the drone to fry them.

  • Dear Big Tech, Stop Shoving AI Into Operating Systems

  • Even if it were true (which I'm pretty sure it isnt) so what? The whole benefit of free software is people can fork it and make their own version if they dont like where it is headded.

  • Excellent article on why the tech companies profiting from the work of creatives is ultimately a labour rights issue not a copyright one. It's sad to see it being reflexively downvoted by people only reading the title.

  • Empty sequences being false goes back a lot further than perl, it was already a thing in the first lisp (in fact the empty list was the cannonical false).

  • This is still only being rolled out to copilot+ pcs isnt it? I know its shit for a bunch of reasons but Im mostly concerned with it ending up on the windows pcs I have to maintain that process sensitive information.

  • Most Americans think AI won’t improve their lives, survey says

  • We also didnt understand how the internet would change the world, still went ahead with it. We didnt understand how computers would change the world, still went ahead with it, we didnt understand how the steam engine would change the world... etc etc.

    No one can know how a new invention will change things, but you are not going to be able to crush human's innate creativity and drive to try new things. Sometimes those things are going to be a net negative and that's bad, but the alternative is to insist nothing new is tried and thats A bad and B not possible.

  • People being economically displaced from innovation increasing productivity is good provided it happens at a reasonable pace and there is a sufficient social safety net to get those people back on their feet. Unfortunately those safety nets dont exist everywhere and have been under attack (in the west) for the past 40 years.

  • Anthropic has developed an AI 'brain scanner' to understand how LLMs work and it turns out the reason why chatbots are terrible at simple math and hallucinate is weirder than you thought

    Jump

  • I don't think that's really a fair comparison, babies exist with images and sounds for over a year before they begin to learn language, so it would make sense that they begin to understand the world in non-linguistic terms and then apply language to that. LLMs only exist in relation to language so couldnt understand a concept separately to language, it would be like asking a person to conceptualise radio waves prior to having heard about them.

    Jump

  • Probably, given that LLMs only exist in the domain of language, still interesting that they seem to have a "conceptual" systems that is commonly shared between languages.

  • Compared to a human who forms an abstract thought and then translates that thought into words. Which words I use has little to do with which other words I’ve used except to make sure I’m following the rules of grammar.

    Interesting that...

    Anthropic also found, among other things, that Claude "sometimes thinks in a conceptual space that is shared between languages, suggesting it has a kind of universal 'language of thought'."

  • Translations apps would be the main one for LLM tech, LLMs largely came out of google's research into machine translation.

  • I wouldnt trust the words of a Palantir exec if they said the sky was blue, but even accepting what they say, its just that the hamas attacks gave the ban impetus to move forwards. By his own words the ban already had bipartesan support and executive approval before that.

    The headline that it was "about" Isreal rather than China is a massive reach.

  • Its a very difficult subject, both sides have merit. I can see the "CSAM created without abuse could be used in treatment/management of people with these horrible urges" but I can also see "Allowing people to create CSAM could normalise it and lead to more actual abuse".

    Sadly its incredibly difficult for academics to study this subject and see which of those two is more prevalent.
