  • There is more truth to that than to OPs claim

  • Probably because a lot or them (especially _iel) use literal letteral translations, nobody in their right mind would use in everyday conversations. Like in this post with "michmichs".

  • No we don't say that and I was completely confused until I read the english line.

  • That's not why JS is a big pile of crap. It's because the language was not thought through at the beginning (I don't blame the inventors for that) and because of the web it spread like wildfire and only backwards compatible changes could be made. Even if with all your points in mind the language could be way nicer. My guess is that once wasm/wasi is integrated enough to run websites without JS (dom access, etc.) JS will be like Fortran, Cobol and Telefax - not going away any time soon, but practically obsolete.

  • AI models routinely lie when honesty conflicts with their goals

  • "Amazingly" fast for bio-chemistry, but insanely slow compared to electrical signals, chips and computers. But to be fair the energy usage really is almost magic.

  • But by that definition passing the Turing test might be the same as super human intelligence. There are things that humans can do, but computers can't. But there is nothing a computer can do but still be slower than humans. That's actually because our biological brains are insanely slow compared to computers. So once a computer is better or as accurate as a human it's almost instantly superhuman at that task because of its speed. So if we have something that's as smart as humans (which is practically implied because it's indistinguishable) we would have super human intelligence, because it's as smart as humans but (numbers made up) can do 10 days of cognitive human work in just 10 minutes.

  • AI isn't even trained to mimic human social behavior. Current models are all trained by example so they produce output that would score high in their training process. We don't even know (and it's likely not even expressable in language) what their goals are but (anthropomorphised) are probably more like "Answer something that humans that designed and oversaw the training process would approve of"

  • To be fair the Turing test is a moving goal post, because if you know that such systems exist you'd probe them differently. I'm pretty sure that even the first public GPT release would have fooled Alan Turing personally, so I think it's fair to say that this systems passed the test at least since that point.

  • AI models routinely lie when honesty conflicts with their goals

    Jump

  • We don't know how to train them "truthful" or make that part of their goal(s). Almost every AI we train, is trained by example, so we often don't even know what the goal is because it's implied in the training. In a way AI "goals" are pretty fuzzy because of the complexity. A tiny bit like in real nervous systems where you can't just state in language what the "goals" of a person or animal are.

  • New ChatGPT Models Seem to Leave Watermarks on Text

    Jump

  • Non breaking spaces and zero width spaces are not watermarks. They are used all the time in professional typesetting and it's actually a good thing that GPT models can do that now.

    But of course they can be a tell if you write your work email like a professional type setter but to be fair there are lot of other tells too in GPT outputs.

    PS: In fact there are even keyboards (but they are rare) for example for German E1 extension (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/E1_%28Tastaturbelegung%29) that can even type those characters. They are used to prevent unwanted line-breaks, for example between numbers and there units or to allow for hyphenation in long words.

  • Best thing is, they introduced some settings to turn that auto-conversion off and they don't work 🤣 can't make that stuff up.

  • I have no idea how small your toilet or large your penis is, but what do you do with your penis, when you have bowel movement?

  • How about just sitting down on the toilet? Don't get me wrong it's great you got it checked out but sometimes there are pretty simple solutions.

  • Beyond RGB: A new image file format efficiently stores invisible light data

  • JPEG does not support lossless compression. There was an extension to the standard in 1993 but most de/encoders don't implement that and it never took off. With JPEG XL you get more bang for your buck and the same visual quality will get you a smaller file. There would be no more need for thumbnails because of improved progressive decoding.
