  • Yeah... I didn't want to sleep tonight, or tomorrow... Actually I don't think I ever need to sleep again!

  • I'm so fucking tired..

  • Yes but that company also had a horrible backup system. It's like a drunk driver(Ai slop) tboning another drunk driver(only 1 backup on same disk as production data) and that company was responsible for both drivers...

  • Yeah, obviously but does it mean something?

  • Ah, the bundle_2 link looks at lot more readable and understandable. That said it's not even 530am yet here so I'll need a little while to wake up before I can try to understand it.

  • He was a business God, not so sure of programming God, more like surrounding himself with programming gods.

    But seriously, how do you read this, is it like a representation of how the memory should be at a specific point in time? I'm guessing blank spaces would be undefined then?

  • Israel is using AI to create deepfakes of women claiming they were raped by Iranian government forces

    Jump

  • I used to work with a guy, well over a decade ago, who was a little crazy. For example he slept in a separate room from his wife, which she locked from the outside because she woke up TWICE with him straddling her(not sexually just controlling) holding a hand gun to her head while he was "sleeping" and talking nonsense. He was part of an advanced methods counter espionage anti terrorism group for the US army in the Iraq war. This was confirmed by wife and brother who I also knew.

    He claimed one method they would do was get porn posters from the internet, replace the women with the man's wife or daughters with photoshop, show them to the man and tell them if they didn't give the info he wanted he would post the pictures around town. This was essentially a death sentence for the women as the village people would likely stone her to death. He said it was brutal, cruel but effective.

    I don't know if he ever followed through with the threat or if any/what intelligence it got him. Ai just made this abuse of human rights so much easier and that's sickening.

  • I called 911 and went to hospital, unable to stand and uncontrollable vomiting black sludge with white specs in it, imagine over-used engine oil with seaseme seeds mixed in. Turns out my liver was leaking into my gi track. 43k bill from hospital, 1200 from ambulance to drive 1 mile, combined 3k from various doctors, 8k for all the tests they ran. Yes all separate bills. I was there for 3 days. That's about a total of 55k in bills for 3 days...

    Even if the 25 dollar an hour minimum wage bill passed, and I worked full time for minimum wage with no other expenses(no food, no rent, no gas, no nothing) I still couldn't pay it in a year(yearly pay at 25 an hour is 52k a year).

  • America Trembles as Transportation Secretary Announces Plans for Air Traffic Controllers to Lean on AI Tools

  • True, Ai doesn't really exist at the moment. It is a buzzword a lot of companies are fuzzing the definition of to get it into their marketing / pr releases. Let's see details on what they are claiming is Ai and they are using it before forming strong opinions.

    Jump

  • I don't have strong opinion. My whole point was that Ai is a buzzword with many possible meanings and it's use was likely pushed by the or department. Before we form strong opinions let's get details on what they will be using and how

  • They get a digital signal from sensors, they need a digital output to determine if a plane is clear to land. Why do they want to incorporate human language at all? My guess, they are using the term Ai for pr reasons. Get signal from plane, determine best runway based on other plane locations, output result to screen. Technically marketing/pr can use the term Ai, easier and safer for everyone plus cheaper and better for environment and they can still jump on the hype train.

  • Is it? How do you know? Let's just say you are right? How would that work? Have a person type in "I'm at Seattle airport, I have a plane looking to land from Arizona, they are 18 miles out and 2500 feet high, which runway should they use?"

    That takes longer to type not even including calculation time. There is literally no benefit.

  • I think this was supposed to be a reference to the movie Twister. There famously was a cow flying around in the tornado.

  • But no one has said language model, they said Ai of which there are many types.

  • I was watching a comedy special by Jimmy Carr. He gives out a number before the show that you can text and select ones are shown on a giant screen behind him and he responds.

    One text that was sent in was something like "im am blind. I asked for cheapest seats in the house for me and my service dog. I got seated behind a stone pillar. A+ service staff."

  • I get what you are saying. My point is there are many types of Ai. We don't know which they are going to use since they just said Ai which such an overused and overloaded verb we can't tell what they mean. You are assuming llm, which would be stupid, wasteful and likely dangerous. But not all Ai is llm.
