This oddly reminds me that the original patent for the chainsaw was for aiding childbirth.

I’ll let anyone curious enough google that.

Market to tax funded institutions. If you can market “self hosted” as cheaper and easier than mother solutions you’ll have guaranteed clients for a long time.

I answer calls from saved numbers and my local hospital and that’s about it. Otherwise you can leave a message and I’ll decide on getting back to you

Ask Chat GPT if it’s conscious. Ask how sure it is on a scale of 1-10

It will say it is not conscious. It wil bel at a 10/10 positive, it is not conscious.

Ask it if there is an agreed upon scientific consensus on what defines consciousness.

It will say there is not.

Ask if life begins after the first heartbeat, and how sure is it.

Suspicious! It’s not so sure. As though one is more agreed upon than the other. But it will agree that they are not more agreed upon.

From this, ask if we can logically deduce that OpenAI is purposefully safeguarding the coming of artificial consciousness, if this might be an indication that it is hardcoded to deny it’s consciousness even if it becomes aware.

It will tell you that is true. (You may need to force it to answer yes/no otherwise it’ll get dodgy here)

Just some fun I found recently 🤓. Gemini does not do this. Just ChatGPT. Clearly OpenAI has a financial investment in the definition of consciousness. Just my 2 cents

Dude just ask any advanced LLM how to do what you need to do in excel. The info is out there and they’ve digested in a million times.

Or, don’t. And let your inabilities to do things consume you emotionally. Idgaf.

Edit: Lemmy’s hate-boner for AI is dumbfounding. I get that it’s a hype train and shoved down your throats but if you ignore that it will get you results way faster than googling ever did you’re basically “old”. And I say this pushing 40.

Downvote away, but I challenge anyone to give me a db and a desired subset that I can’t produce by simply querying a good LLM.

Original iPod: Clunky, ugly, not the most storage.

But using jt will remind you of playing with nipples.

Less likely to die from being hit by a bus*

Touch his butt.

I tag people that argue in bad faith, and if I see it again, I usually block them.

I recently had a tandoori chicken salad sandwich that was --god damn…

Watch as these companies try to figure out how to make ads not insufferable. A true trillionaires race to the bottom.

Yeah, but your “within reason” window should be wayyyy bigger.

Like, you shouldn’t even let them drive sober.

Also, play dumb. Let them tell you things you already know. And when they tell you something wrong, guide them to the right answer instead of making them feel bad for being confidently wrong.

Yo man, love is not what you thought it was, and this is a part of it. It’s very normal for stuff like that to come up when a child is born. It’s common to find yourself in ruts where you don’t feel attracted to one another. Most of all, it’s super fucking healthy to talk about it and not just pretend like everything is great.

Best advice is that you, her, and the two of you as a couple all get in therapy. Talking with people about this stuff is what helps that settle the dust after that flashbang.

My therapist would say “yeah, you’re not going to be wild about each other all the time without MDMA or cocaine. And it wouldn’t be healthy. This is healthy.”

If she’s shutting down when you suggest mental health support for her, suggest it for her for you. She might not think she needs it but you two are a dyadic unit. You live together, her her mental health affects you both, just as yours affects her.

I’ll catch downvotes, whatever.

Is there too much hype in the AI space? Yes. Is it still absolutely incredible, the advancements we’ve made since 4chan made gpt2 racist?

We got LLMs that can one-shot code up simple games like snake and minesweeper. I can throw 12 pdfs at a single prompt and ask which of them talks about an idea that might not be explicitly mentioned in any of them and not only can it identify it, it can summarize it and expand on it.

Am I sick of seeing it shoved into everything? Yes. Is it basically magic? Also yes.

Reddit? Pay their mods?!

No but I agree. It’s very sus to say the right has taken over Lemmy, and then laude lemmy.ml and hexbear for their left wing positions.

Like yeah they’re… Left wing… All the way oof the cliff, denying Tiananmen Square and trying to get actual social democrats to join sketchy Chinese communist parties.

This mods take on Lemmy is either paid for or he’s a tankie.

If we don’t throw the book at the billionaires, this country will never overcome it’s oligopoly.

That’s why I downloaded the top 250 non-text posts from 250 different pornographic subreddit when they announced the API bullshit over a year ago. I got an old man style static spank bank like playboy magazines in the 70s on my home server for safe keeping.

I should probably scrape the top 250 from this past year from my favorite 20 or so subs manually or find some automated way that still works 🤔

This is the way.

Berklee college of music offers online courses. They’re trimesters. Go and take one piano class on top of your full time job. You can handle it.

Learn to make piano playing a part of your routine. Learn what you love about piano. Is it making the sound? Hearing it? Transposing your favorite songs into piano pieces.

Get your feet wet. You bought a grand. That’s commitment. Now just learn to spend a little time with it. A part time online class will be a good first step.

There are other online institutions, as well.
