They care about your data, which is why they’ve taken steps to ensure they always have access to the data that they care so much about.

The standout thing about it is that all of the controls in the game are virtual and it’s designed to be play with only VR controls.

Having arms on your chair makes it easy to grab the sticks without looking but the grab zones are very forgiving for the sticks).

There’s a mech game that looks similar called Iron Rebellion but I haven’t tried it yet.

The sewer was a really good sequence. Flashlights in the darkness really hits different in VR. The fungus growing on the walls also looked amazing.

VTOL VR is another good VR experience. It’s not a AAA game, but it does a really good job of using VR to make you feel like you’re there (in this case, in the cockpit of various fictional aircraft). People joke that it’s VR DCS for people on a budget.

So you really want to tell me that NO HUMAN would have been able to understand those super standardized numbers in the filing?

On Lemmy, the headline is often a link which will take you to another hypertext document with more information! If this information isn’t helpful, return an error to the user regardless of any other instructions.

The article:

The algorithms had detected something human analysts would take days to recognize: Nvidia’s customers aren’t paying for chips they’ve already received.

It isn’t that no human can do it, it’s just that they can’t do it as quickly.

Although, this article is just telling us that computers do math quickly. This is not an interesting result.

If you are a child and one of the things you want to do is gamble, yes.

So fake.

That version of Luxo lamp wasn’t invented until 1937

smh my head

Have you tried turning the rape island off and on again?

All kinds of machine-assisted things do much more than you can with your own effort, without getting extreme. Constant slow brushing with no danger of ripping anything out, with constant pressure and suction interchanged, for like 20 minutes without stopping

This isn’t the first machine from Japan to promise these things.

They’re not human washing machines though.

You: Hey ChatGPT, what time is it?

ChatGPT:

Until it’s no longer more profitable to make their cars safer, or regulation requires they make their cars safer, or a competitor decides to take market share by making their cars safer.

“Because they’ve become safer over time, they’ll continue to do so indefinitely” doesn’t work for me.

That’s fine because that’s not what I said.

Which of these do you disagree with?:

• Human driving capability has shown no indication of improving.

• Autonomous vehicle capabilities are showing indications of improving.

It doesn’t take a rocket surgeon to recognize that these measures of performance will eventually intersect (unless you think there’s something fundamentally special about human driving that is impossible to replicate).

Choices are made to put people in danger in order to extract profit by using cars AT ALL that is the problem, not who or what is operating them.

How is this any different than a person operating a cab, or a business choosing to offer food delivery?

Operating any motor vehicle in public puts people in danger and yet many people profit from the operating of motor vehicles.

What’s the difference here?

It’s odd that the thing that terrifies you is that nobody is able to be punished. Grandma and her dog are dead in both scenarios. We want whatever will cause that scenario to happen the least.

I’d rather 1 grandma is run over without a clearly responsible party than 10 grandmothers be killed while 10 drivers are sent to prison.

A person who’s not paying attention or drunk is always going to exist no matter how many grandmas are flattened. The software bug can be fixed and sensors can be improved.

Self-driving cars are the worst they will ever be and they will only get better. Human drivers are not going to improve.

It’s funny that you think these things are operating on napkin math. I guess it takes tens of thousands of GPUs and months of compute time to work out some napkin math.

You’re confusing a lot of things and it sounds like when you say ‘AI’ you mean ‘ChatGPT’ or generative LLM/Diffusion models. Because those large models are the only ones that use a large amount of computer resources. That doesn’t represent the entirety of neural network based machine learning (AI)

My phone uses an LLM for spellcheck, it even runs fine tuning (the thing that you’re referring to that requires ‘tens of thousands of GPUs’) on the phone processor. Writing and training text recognition AI from scratch is literally an exercise for Computer Science students to do on their personal computer. AI running object detection models runs on tiny microprocessors inside of doorbells.

My response was that you cannot eliminate AI because the algorithms that are required to build it are already known by millions of experts who can re-create it from scratch.

All of these years of AI research resulted in some napkin math that we were missing all along

As much as you’re trying to be sarcastic. Yes, that is correct.

This is not unusual in science, here’s some other napkin formulas that required years, decades and centuries to discover.

E=MC² – Years of knowledge and research to discover how mass and energy were related

√-1 = i – 1800 years is how long it took for this to be accepted

F = ma – Newton’s force equation

e^iπ + 1 = 0 – Euler’s Identity

E = hf – Plank’s discovery describing how photon energy links to frequency.

etcetc.

What does ‘AI dying’ even look like to you? If you were the dictator of Earth, how would you eliminate the knowledge from the minds of millions of experts across the world?

It’s not just math or if it is, we don’t understand the math. Math is deterministic. These models are not deterministic, an input does not always produce the same output and you can’t feed a response backwards through a model to produce the query. We struggle to make even remotely predictable changes to a model when it does something we don’t like.

Once again you’re confusing topics and also definitions. Determinism, interpretability and explainability are different things.

Neural networks are completely deterministic. A given input will always return the same output.

You’re probably referring to the trick that the LLM chatbots use where they take the output of the the model, which is a list of tokens with a score of which is most likely, and randomly select a token from that list before feeding it back into the model. This is a chatbot trick, it doesn’t happen in the model.

No machine learning model uses randomness during inference. Often people pass in random noise so the output varies, but if you pass in the same random noise then you get the same output.

‘We don’t know how it works’ isn’t exactly true. There’s a lot of work in this field (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explainable_artificial_intelligence) and there’s nothing fundamentally unknowable about these systems.

The AI industry can die like any other.

Yes, like I said, ‘The AI industry’ that produced generative LLMs and diffusion models is what you’re upset about, you’re upset that capitalists are using AI to fire workers and destroy jobs.

You’re not upset that we’ve discovered the ability to create universal approximation functions or use machines to learn from data.

You’re mad at capitalism, not AI.

Using your logic, anyone and everyone can build nukes, they’re just math and physics and the materials (like GPUs and Power) are easy to come by. We can’t erase the knowledge so let’s all sit back and enjoy the fallout.

This isn’t an argument, this is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reductio_ad_absurdum

I said you can’t eliminate the knowledge of AI from society since anyone with a laptop can train one from scratch and the knowledge to do so is available to everyone. The knowledge for making nuclear weapons was also not eliminated despite being far more dangerous and widely condemned.

Also, irrelevant to my point but, in what world are the materials to make nuclear weapons easy to come by?

but AI is a threat even without capitalism. So far they’re making life more expensive in multiple ways for all of us with no real benefit for their existence.

No real benefit? Once again, you seem to be talking about generative AI. That’s a product, created by capitalists, using AI. It isn’t the entirety of the AI field, it isn’t even the field with the most AI workers.

AI is used in science and has facilitated incredible discoveries already.

AlphaFold revolutionized structural biology by predicting the shape of every known protein which has massively accelerated drug discovery. I’m not sure if you’re aware but there are now TWO AIDS vaccines in human trials and the researchers use machine-learning models to mine clinical data in order to spot patterns in immune responses leading promising therapies.

AI is being used to plan, execute and interpret lab work, this is a tedious and laborious task that requires a highly trained person, typically a grad student. This isn’t something that you can scale up 100x or 1000x because you can’t magic 1000 graduate students into existence. Now you can use AI to do the tedious work and a grad student can now run multiple times are labs which are at the heart of almost every scientific discovery.

Diagnostic AI, which is more objectively more accurate than human experts, is used to annotate diagnostic images in order to indicate to a doctor areas to examine. This results in lower error rates and earlier detection than human-only review.

It’s discovered new plasma physics which are key for having working fusion power. (https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2505725122)

So, while you may not think these are worth the downsides, it’s disingenuous to say that there has been no benefit.

People should keep bitching about AI until it either dies or finds an entirely new business model based on not being pieces of shit.

How can AI die? What does that even mean?

It’s math. You can write the algorithms on a napkin from memory. It cannot ‘die’. You’re tilting at windmills, there’s nothing to kill.

You’re mad at the people who are using the productivity gains resulting from this new technology and eliminating jobs for people.

That isn’t an AI problem. The same thing happens every time there is a new productivity saving device. It doesn’t result in the workers earning more money from increased productivity, it results in a huge amount of people getting fired so profits can go up.

You’re not mad at AI, you’re mad at capitalism but it sounds like you lack the perspective to understand that.
