This is fucked, you don’t use a black box approach in anything high risk without human supervision. Whisper probably could be used to help accelerate a transcriptions done by an expert, maybe some sort of “first pass” that needs to be validated, but even then it might not help speed things up and might impact quality (see coding with copilot). Maybe also use the timestamp information for some filtering of the most egregious hallucinations, or a bespoke fine-tuning setup (assuming it was fine-tuned it the first place)? Just spitballing here, I should probably read the paper to see what the common error cases are.

It’s funny, because this is the openAI model I had the least cynicism towards, did they bazinga it up when I wasn’t looking?

UFO50 and Diceomancer, both are fantastic! Also some lethal company, plateup and remnant 2 with my friends. Want to try out the new factorio dlc but not sure if I want to sink the time it demands.

Your “new alien intelligence” couldn’t even count how many Rs are in strawberry, shut the fuck up.

The funny thing is that he’s correct when he says that we are not sufficiently organized to deal with climate change. He probably wouldn’t like the solution though.

Honestly, this is expected of tech bros, just look at crypto. Shame on every computer scientist that gave legitimacy to these dipshits for a paycheck, especially the big names of the deep learning old guard huffing that heavy copium.

We consistently find across all our experiments that, across concepts, the frequency of a concept in the pretraining dataset is a strong predictor of the model’s performance on test examples containing that concept. Notably, model performance scales linearly as the concept frequency in pretraining data grows exponentially

This reminds me of an older paper on how LLMs can’t even do basic math when examples fall outside the training distribution (note that this was GPT-J and as far as I’m aware no such analysis is possible with GPT4, I wonder why), so this phenomena is not exclusive to multimodal stuff. It’s one thing to pre-train a large capacity model on a general task that might benefit downstream tasks, but wanting these models to be general purpose is really, really silly.

I’m of the opinion that we’re approaching a crisis in AI, we’ve hit a barrier on what current approaches are capable of achieving and no amount of data, labelers and tinkering with architectural minutiae or (god forbid) “prompt engineering” can fix that. My hopes are that with the bubble bursting the field will have to reckon with the need for algorithmic and architectural innovation, more robust standards for what constitutes a proper benchmark and reproducibility at the very least, and maybe, just maybe, extend its collective knowledge from other fields of study past 1960’s neuroscience and explore the ethical and societal implications of your work more deeply than the oftentimes tiny obligatory ethics section of a paper. That is definetly a overgeneralization, so sorry for any researchers out here <3, I’m just disillusioned with the general state of the field.

You’re correct about the C suites though , all they needed to see was one of those stupid graphs that showed line going up, with model capacity on the x axis and performance on the y axis, and their greed did the rest.

There is a disconnect between what computer scientists understands as AI and what the general public understands as AI. This was previously not a problem, nerds give confusing names to stuff all the time, but it became a problem after this latest hype cycle where incurious laypeople are in charge of the messaging (or in a less charitable interpretation, benefit from fear of the singularity™). Doesn’t help that scientific communication is dogshit.

got the Samsung buds pro 2 at half price recently and I kind of like them, but they were a bit underwhelming even at that price. I’ve never spent a lot on audio in general, so they were actually a big improvement, but there was no “wow” factor or anything. Plus having to install bloatware that asks for all permissions under the sun sucks (why the fuck would a settings menu want to know my location???).

I do think you underestimate how nice the noise cancelation can be though. I moved to a big city and my hick ass cannot deal with all the fucking noise. Plus I’m clumsy and end up getting wires caught on everything, which means wire stuff also becomes e-waste fairly quickly.

It reads as parody so much that I was actually kind of enjoying it. I mean the scene with the Teslas crashing, Havana Syndrome, “Death to America, I remember it from the videogame”, the 13 year old girl quoting West Wing, all the nonsense pontificating about random bullshit like Friends, the camera zooming and twisting for no discernible reason, I thought I was picking up on some deep contempt for lib neurosis and vapidness and it got a laugh out of me a couple of times. Pausing it to check out who made it was a mistake, soured the rest of the thing. It might have been ruined by the runtime anyway so no big loss.

the ice levels in Spelunky HD are my least favorite, but this track almost makes up for all the stupid UFOs crashing into me from out of screen

The video consists of like 2 hours of some examples of youtube plagiarism, with discussion of content mills and the beginning of an interesting point about how plagiarists view the people they steal from as lesser, which is not expanded upon as much as it should IMO.

The other 2 hours are about James Somerston, a gay video essayist that basically Frakensteined a bunch (if not all) of his videos from queer authors, some well known, a lot of them not. By the end Hbomb makes a good point about erasure, and how young queer people don’t understand their history in part because of people like Somerston.

I’m generally not annoyed by length since I’m a zoomer and watch everything at 2x or more, but in this case I get the point because it actually took me 2 real time hours to watch and I felt there was a lot that could have been cut. I still won’t watch the 3 hour scorcese movie, fuck all of you, movies ARE too long now.

doing that as well, but asking here can’t hurt right?

The only guy I have on my friends list that plays this stuff is definetly not afraid to let others know, he does extensive reviews of every datable girl in a given game. but also entertaining to read/make fun of sometimes.

There is no deeper understanding about the issues they are marching for. It is all just slogans.

. I don’t understand how people who don’t know shit don’t just shut the fuck up until they learn more.

I’m sick of simulation theory as well and want something cooler to take its place. Maybe Gnosticism?

They do once their depression gets better though? Anhedonia, loss of interest/libido/attention/whatever the fuck else are symptoms of depression. I’m all for self-improvement, my own mental health improved greatly as a result of trying to improve myself, to the point I consider myself no longer depressed. But we’re social creatures and no one builds self-confidence and mental resilience in a vacuum. It’s often up to the depressed person to put themselves out in situations where this can happen, but sometimes it does not work out for whatever reason and the whole thing is a long process. In this situation self-compassion is a lot better than telling yourself you’re a sack of shit.

Also, isn’t the interesting life thing all backwards? If you like a person you get curious and find them interesting. If I like a guy I’ll find what they are into cool, be it singing, playing chess or knowing a lot about bugs.

No one is owed that kind of attention, but most people are worthy of compassion.

I started typing a long debatebro paragraph about how Israel is not forced to bomb hospitals because its ego is wounded but a) I suck at convincing people and b) the suggestion of just showing footage is better.

Maybe with captions? “Why should I care if these are ‘good victims’ like in the West Bank?” " Is this not state terrorism (A.K.A terrorism?)" “The vast majority of Hamas’s arsenal is underground, who is this really hurting?”. IDK, something snappy to shake them out of the debatebro mentality.

I don’t know shit but from casually checking the news mega that seems to be the general sentiment. What I don’t get is wouldn’t this ground invasion be a completely unforced error on Israel’s part? Why are they even considering it?

Implementing fascism as a mechanic only for it to be unsustainable gameplaywise is a good bit tbh

Could be because cats can be really distrustful of strangers. My cat is really sweet but she’ll hiss to almost every guest. Could be a upbringing thing though, my neighbor has 4 and 3 of them were street cats that she took in, when I occasionally take care of them the only one that gives me any trouble is the one that was there since she was a kitten.

So this guy has the time to complain about vuvuzela no food but not to provide some context for the indictment, instead linking to a 39 page pdf? And the rest of the article is just factoids about gold?? Western journalists are a fucking disgrace.

Also England stole withheld like 1 billion $ in gold from Venezuela, but I guess that tidbit didn’t make the cut

Mengele is the right comparison because this is not just some oafs botching a surgery, this is sadist shit.

Also the poor monkey finding some comfort by holding hands with her “roommate” through the cage makes me want to cry
