A mistake on par with Netflix getting into mobile games. With advent of 5G, nobody plays candy crush saga or such games.
You must be kidding. Look around on public transport. If someone isn't reading something on their phone, they're almost certainly playing some candy crush like game. Apple games is doing well. Netflix failed because they didn't make games people are interested in, not because people don't want those types of games.
I think most people just scroll instagram or tiktok. Because of lack of short content format earlier, mobile games became popular. That and lack of 5g infra. Both problems have been solved.

Except it doesn't. Look at the places that have the "happiest" people on earth, e.g. Denmark. They are monocultures where nearly everyone has the same traditions and history.
And in recent times they have had a lot more immigrants, and it's causing a lot of chaos.
Varied culture divides. It creates "us" and "them" groups, this is baked into our tribal psyche as humans.

People will discriminate against people of color because they are visually people of color. Whether or not they 'announce it'. It's utter BS to suggest that the only reason people discriminate against black people is because they 'identify as black'. Like, if all the black people would just stop identifying as 'black' racism would be solved? Maybe I'm misreading your comment, but all of the responses to this suggest…
I believe that many people in US are just pyromaniac firefighters that start fired to play hero extinguishing it. Racism is just one of the fires. In my country (Eastern Europe) racism is approximately non-existent, but nobody was putting gas on fire for decades or more. I know a black guy that is quite famous around here, do you know what he never said? "I am a proud black person". He is a great person and people lo…
How were the Jews treated in your country in oh, say the late 1930s?

LLMs just predict the next word, based upon the texts they were trained on. They are, by definition, a hallucination. It's just that, sometimes, they put words together that fool people. They're just ELIZA on steroids, people.
Right and computers just do boolean math, not anything useful.
A hammer can bonk someone or help Jimmy Carter build a house for someone.
We digital logic folks are both tool builders and tool wielders. Usefulness is in the hands of the user, but that doesn't mean the creator isn't a dipsh_t who made a crap tool, or that the user isn't a moron.
My computer allows me to build stores of digital information representations, with functional integrations to other systems, including me. It's useful for me and my family, for sure.

Denmark is 10% immigrants, about the same as any place else.

Technical knowledge and wisdom are two very different things. There is an excess of the former here, on this site, in this field, but a comical dearth of the latter.
I would argue that there is not an excess of the former. A lot of the so-called techies don't know tech either.
That's fair. I suppose it's more that there's a worship of knowledge outside the context of wisdom.

How did ELIZA do on the Advent of Code?
It hallucinated less, that's for sure, because we know exactly how it works, though I doubt any of the AoC's challenges were suitable for its 1980s logic (that's when I typed in a magazine's C64 version).

#290You know what AI profiles I want more of? Clueless grandma/grandpa that accepts scammer calls and waste their time. Such as UK's O2 Daisy: https://news.virginmediao2.co.uk/o2-unveils-daisy-the-ai-gra...
There is another real-world version of this in the US healthcare system, where doctor offices are using domain-specific LLMs to craft multi-page medical approval requests for procedures that cover every known loophole insurer’s use to deny, which are then being reviewed by ML-powered algorithms at the insurance company looking for any way to deny and delay the claim approval.
In other words we have a bona fide AI arms race between doctors and insurers with patient outcomes and profits in play. Wild stuff and nothing I could have ever imagined would be an applied use of ML research from earlier in my career.
