Good point. Though I’ve heard some of these self driving cars connect remotely to a person to help drive when the AI doesnt know what to do, so I guess it’s conceivable that the car could connect to the cloud. That would be super error prone though. Connectivity issues cloud brick your car.

Yes. In theory cameras should be enough to get you up to human level driving competence but even that is a low bar.

Yeah thats my point

I agree it would be better. I’m just saying that in theory cameras are all that would be required to achieve human level performance, so long as the AI was capable enough

He’s right in that if current AI models were genuinely intelligent in the way humans are then cameras would be enough to achieve at least human level driving skills. The problem of course is that AI models are not nearly at that level yet

I doubt they would bother going after a one person instance, even if it could be traced back to you

Nintendo has shown that it is possible to attack open source projects at the repository level

I’m out of the loop. What happened there?

Yes LLMs are good with finding terms and phrases that you can’t remember but are at the tip of your tongue

I work in a health-care-adjacent industry and you’d be surprised how many people blindly follow LLMs for medical advice

Ok so I stand corrected. I guess it is possible but it just requires a lot of man power

we already see a phenomenon going on with Fediverse, and Web as a whole: invite-only and/or need-to-apply places

The need-to-apply model would be totally unscalable for traditional social media platforms because of the sheer number of requests that would need to be processed on a centralized. But something like this can work on the Fediverse because you can split the workload up between different instances

That’s hilarious haha

Trump was threatening too but I dont think he ever did.

A similar phenomenon happens with road rage

Like, yes, it is a minor technological miracle that we can build these massively-multidimensional maps of human language use and use them to chart human-like vectors through language space

Yeah. Like thats objectively a very interesting technological innovation. The issue is just how much its been overhyped.

The hype around AI would be warranted if it were, like, at the same level as the hype around the Rust programming language or something. Which is to say: it’s an useful innovation in certain limited domains which is worth studying and is probably really fascinating to some nerds. If we could have left the hype at that level then we would have been fine.

But then a bunch of CEOs and tech influencers started telling us that these things are going to cure cancer or aging and replace all white collar jobs by next year. Like okay buddy. Be realistic. This overhype turned something that was genuinely cool into this magical fantasy technology that doesn’t exist.

Well yeah, and Ghislaine Maxwell was also a Reddit power mod (mod or r/news and apparently some other big subreddits too).

I think this is what causes this divide between the AI lovers and haters. What we have now is genuinely impressive even if largely nonfunctional. Its a confusing juxtaposition

There has also been an influx of users on Piefed which might explain why things seem more active on here.

I don’t think OpenAI was intentionally targeting women. I doing know if they ever intended for people to fall in love with 4o, it just kind of started happening

You might be right. I really don’t know what would be included under their intelligence sharing agreements, I just know that an agreement exists
