  • Meet the AI vegans. They are refusing to use artificial intelligence for environmental, ethical and personal reasons

  • But yes. Exactly in the use of "Artificial Intelligence".

    Artificial Intelligence is a wide field, consisting of a plethora of methods. LLMs like ChatGPT are part of this wide field, as per definition how researchers are describing the field.

    The "intelligence" part is an issue though if taken literal, since we have no clear definition of what "intelligence" even is. Neither for human / natural intelligence, nor for artificial. But that's how the field was labled. We have created a category for a bunch of methods, models and algorithms and sticked "AI" onto it. Therefore I stand by what I have said before:

    It is AI.

    Due to the lack of a clear definition for "intelligence" I would coarsely outline AI as: mimicking natural thinking, problem solving and decision processes without necessarily being identical. (This makes it difficult to distinguish it from plain calculators though, so a better definition is required.) So if we have a model that is able to distinguish cat pictures from non-cat pictures, that's AI. And if we have "autocorrect on steroids" (credit to Dirk Hohndel) like ChatGPT, that matches the text comprehension skills of 15 year olds (just an example), then this too is AI.

  • That was an interesting article. Thanks for sharing!

  • Have you tried Ecosia?

  • Whithout a clear definition of intelligence, such a discussion is somewhat pointless. The closest thing I would use to describe artificial "intelligence" is: Mimicking human/natural thought and decision processes, without the necessity of being identical.

    Secondly, regarding your first paragraph:Humans excel at providing wrong information. Sometimes they are right. In that regard there are similarities between an LLM and a human.

    By the way: LLMs are part of the field of AI. But AI consists of a plethora of methods and algorithms, where LLMs are just a tiny fraction that is currently very popular.

  • Haha, meaningful, informative comments that make it easier to understand the code of course. ;)

    Yes, let's spend two hours on figuring out optimal values of preallocating a vector for your specific use-case. It's worth the couple of microseconds saved! Kleinvieh macht auch Mist.

  • That what comments and documentation are for.

  • I suppose it's a matter of experience and practise. The more you wotk with it the better you get. As usual with all things one can learn.

  • I mostly see warnings when compiling source code of other projects. If you get a warning as a dev, it's your responsibility to deal with it. But also your risk, if you don't. I made it a habit to fix every warning in my own projects. For prototyping I might ignore them temporarily. Some types of warnings are unavoidable sometimes.

    If you want to make yourself not ignore warnings, you can compile with -Werror if using GCC/G++ to make the compiler a pedantic asshole that doesn't compile until you fix every fucking warning. Not advisable for drafting code, but definitely if you want to ship it.

  • Vegetables are a social construct. Depending on culture this is differently labled. Afaik there are No vegetables in a botanical sense. Just "fruits".

  • They've observed this in a lab.

  • What are the next steps I need to do to publish a paper somewhere like arXiv?

    Jump

  • You could ask if some researcher active in the field would be willing to co-author. This would come with the additional benefit of possibly improving the paper's quality, besides just publishing it.

  • Say Hello to the World's Largest Hard Drive, a Massive 36TB Seagate

  • Fair point. But still pretty bad. Literally two days after the warranty expired my Seagate drive was broken. This was my first and only Seagate drive. Never again.

    Meanwhile my old Western Digital drive is still kicking way beyond it's warranty. Almost 10 years now.
