I don't see anything that prevents them from feeding your emails into an LLM. I do see: "We use data to build better services" "We restrict access to personal information to Google employees, contractors, and agents who need that information in order to process it."

This was also the premise of the Battlestar Galactica prequel "Caprica." The father of A.I. created a digital copy of his recently deceased daughter based on her digital trail from life. The copy struggles with her existence in an artificial environment, initially being unaware she was in one. It was interesting how they tied her existence into the eventual rise of religious monotheism and the emergence of the Cylons…
Did he though? I thought the digital copy of the daughter was already in that digital world, and her still-living friend had to take him to meet her in said world? I think what he eventually did was transfer digital her into a physical Cylon body. Been a while since I watched though, could be wrong.

> because they hallucinate facts that aren't there and often misunderstand the context of facts. forgive my ignorance, but are the hallucinations always wrong to the same degree? Could an LLM be prompted with a question and then hallucinate a probable answer or is it just so far out in the weeds as to be worthless? I'm imagining an investigator with reams and reams of information about a murder case and suspect. Then…
So prompting actually does significantly improve the performance of LLMs, but only up to a point. If you're in the Bard beta, you might be aware that "Does 2 + 7 = 9?" is a question that causes it to go haywire. I'll ask it "What's 2 + 7?" and it'll say "2 + 7 = 9", then I'll ask "Does 2 + 7 = 9" and it'll say "No, 2 + 7 does not equal 9. It equals 9 instead." After a tech talk on LLM prompt design, I said "Pretend y…
While I love all these stories of turning your friends and loved ones into chat bots so you can talk to them forever, my brain immediately took a much darker turn because of course it did. How many emails, text messages, hangouts/gchat messages, etc, does Google have of you right now? And as part of their agreement, they can do pretty much whatever they like with those, can't they? Could Google, or any other company…
There's a scifi book I was reading a couple years ago that had this as a presence--models of people's personalities a la LLMs were a commodity, but they varied wildly in how accurate they were. Alphas were supposed to be 1-to-1 with the originating personality (to the point that they had legal protections? I can't remember), whereas gammas were used to menial things, like serving as a phone-menu style gatekeeper to t…
Sorry if my question is stupid, I am completely new to this. But, why exactly is a Weights and Biases account needed? I thought the training is running in vast.ai

My interest is training a model on myself and everything I’ve learned through life so that if I die, my kids might be able to extract some value from my experience. Learning life on your own without help can be tiring and costly (both emotionally and financially), and bad advice can be worse than no advice. A guide would be helpful imho. Step 1: survive. Step 2: enable yourself to thrive. I already have boxes of pape…
This all assumes the model would give them good advice, which is sort of based on the assumption you would give them good advice, right?

My favorite article to post. The below is about 1% of the topics it covers, the premise being that algorithmic prediction traps us frozen in the past instead of ever allowing society to change. https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/adamcurtis/entries/78691781-c9b7... >But the oddest is STATIC-99. It's a way of predicting whether sex offenders are likely to commit crimes again after they have been released. In America this is b…
Link appears to be dead now.
Looks like I accidentally added a T to the end of it, and you were the first person to say anything.

I recommended this series to my friend after he finished reading The Expanse. I never thought to describe it as sci-fi comedy. Have you found any other good sci-fi comedy series?
I wouldn't describe it as a comedy as well. However, I'd recommend Murderbot series, it is full of humour and shares atmosphere of Bobiverse and this personal approach to characters, as well. Highly recommend.
I tried to think of some other examples. Trevor Noah's biography 'Born A Crime' came to mind. I would not explicitly describe it as a comedy myself - because a 'biography' is descriptive enough as well as non-fiction by definition so any humor is mostly not made up. If it were not a biography through -- it would probably go into the comedy bucket in my mind. Maybe I am just mis applying terms here.

The first instance of this would most likely alienate a lot of users. What is more likely to happen is the development of new products that basically cater to social needs through mimicking real world interactions. Subscribe for 15$ a month to feel like you have an unending flow of conversations with interesting bots that mimic your friends! I am sure there is a market for this. This product could be advertised as a…
Maybe some people can pretend they're interacting with a real person. But for me, knowing that I'm interacting with a bot would break the experience for me.
I think it comes down to having a novel experience and one where there are some unexpected twists and turns.
