Oh. I assumed it was the same baseXX encoding with padding as any other. As listed here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary-to-text_encoding#Exampl... Or here: https://bitcoinwik…

Well I would hope so. That's the most basic "translation" a computer can do. Converting one set of characters into another set of characters from a lookup table. How many r's in st…

Parent of your response: > ...may be hard to identify which company or who’s responsible when you fired all of the people from the department that it’s supposed to police those typ…

GP's phrasing was not precise, but I think most people understood it was liability ownership and not copyright. Ownership with respect to copyright and ownership with respect to le…

So.... Exactly the people they need right now?

Nah.

It's good that you clearly see the "Great Idea" spam for what it is. That comes from the reinforcement-learning human-feedback (RLHF) that is used to keep you coming back for one m…

Dude straight up lied to everyone. Most blatantly corrupt incompetent fraud in US history. Just because he's narcissist enough to not care doesn't make it better. And yeah, lots of…

I thought this would be a push for a nationwide open weights effort / initiative, but I was surprised to see this: > Distillation ... reflects a long tradition of learning from, bu…

The entire reason we are in this war is the current administration's ineptitude. Anyone who voted for this president should be ashamed they fell for a con.

Thank you for the clarification. I figured I was missing something in your meaning. Although "if it comes so cheap that..." means it will probably come cheap for other providers, a…

100% this. OpenAI created a for-profit subsidy (that is now an SBC and only controlled 26% by the original non-profit). Guess when they did that? After GPT-2 (Feb 2019) and before …

You do realize "subsidizing" means charging less for something than it costs to provide, right? So they'll lose a dollar on every sale, but they'll make up for it in volume? E2E is…

3 years ago is about when the BS "AI can do anything!" hype started. So, it is not a misinterpretation, but an accurate assessment of the hype cycle. Exactly the kind of things man…

But immitating others is about the only thing genAI does. Sometimes "others" is a 'programmer', sometimes "others" is an 'artist', but regardless, it still does it poorly.

Not OP, but I'd settle for something that actually learns, instead of being a static pile of linear algebra. Pretending it learns because you change the input (context) doesn't cou…

> That Ford story was really misleading. It wasn't about modern LLMs, and the way it was reported implied that Ford had fired and then hired people but if you read closer that wasn…

Be sure to short the shit out of that company after you leave, assuming something in your employment contract doesn't prevent it (doubtful). Especially if they are software develop…

Sorry, but labs working hard doesn't make non-polynomial problems suddenly polynomial.

The revolution is way overblown.

Yes, definitely a case of bad-think. Certainly not double-plus-good like AI. Dangerous.

Well, it didn't take long for this post to be disappeared from the front page. Edit: ahhh, I see why. In the list of ways to keep your sanity through the AI mania -- "I no longer v…

The context is the input to the LLM model. It seems like you need to study up on how LLMs work, instead of spouting hype.

Seriously? Supid is literally incapable of learning. That is the underlying model. It does not change, therefore it does not learn. LLM models are quite literally stupid. No one ge…
