Black box hallucination engines do what they do https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36134249

It's not a person, it's a machine. And it's one that will still produce hallucinations that embarrassingly prove that it has no notion of intelligence, and do so confidently. That …

It's still fundamentally the same, hallucinates just the same, and anthropomorphizes itself as a confident, knowledgeable, intelligent being just the same. A newer, better, faster,…

> But was it GPT4 I keep seeing this cop-out, which ignores that it's fundamentally the same architecture, and has the same flaws. More wallpaper to hide the cracks better makes it…

Chargebacks and processing fees are expensive too.

As per usual, we build these systems then pretend to be surprised when they are abused.

That's not an off the wall idea at all. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=encryption+2nd+amendment+protectio...

That it's insulting has nothing to do with my reasoning. You have it backwards.

Then it's a markov-like with state. Or as I've taken to calling them lately Markov+state. (I couldn't resist, sorry.) A truck towing a trailer isn't just a car because it pivots in…

I don't base my ideas on what constitutes humanity, intelligence, or sentience on hundred million dollar fiction.

LMM = Large Markov Model. I use that term because models like GPT-4 and friends are for all intents and purposes Markov chains with more data, more compute, some lossy compression,…

I categorically reject the notion that LMMs (Large Markov Models) can ever be aware or intelligent. Comparing weighted next-word-engines to feeling, thinking, aware beings is insul…

"We have no moat, and neither does OpenAI" Dismiss it as the opinions of "a Googler" but it is entirely true. The seemingly coordinated worldwide[1] push to keep it in the hands of…

The lithium smoke was free.

Some folks in front of me had a mifi hotspot light on fire at the airport while in line to board. I saw the smoke and thought they were trying to get one last vape in, and told the…

Mozilla is almost entirely funded by half a billion dollars a year from Google. They are a vassal.

Yet many merchants are the victims of chargeback fraud, and many others have had funds frozen with no recourse. A paypal glitch left me unable to access my funds despite spending f…

When your funds get low just open your hot and cold wallet apps and type in how much to transfer, wasabi takes care of the rest. It's easier than merely logging into my bank. Or pa…
