No this is Patrick, I mean science doing its thing where it continuously corrects and updates as new information is introduced. Something which religion seems rather incapable of doing. Though I do believe religion has some valuable tidbits about the core of human existence, creator myths were only really ever a method of social control, and perhaps an easier answer prior to industrial/modern knowledge.

Dean’s beans! A real crossover episode!

On the way through the parking lot?

Needs more mayonnaise.

They have started listing “sources” next to some of the info gemini spits out. I love cause it reminds of all the forum posts I can’t find anymore cause they fuckin destroyed the internet.

Oh now you fucked up!

I understand and appreciate where you desire to go with it, I just don’t see a current system to support it. Afaik people do make their own AIs/LLMs (recalling an artist’s court case regarding the legitimacy of their work), but large scale LLMs do their thing by running roughshod and stealing tons of data and driving up hardware and electricity prices. It is difficult to see an environment where small models prosper compared their lawless corpo counterparts. It would probably be more beneficial to humankind, though.

Well all I will say is that I do understand the usefulness of LLMs as tools, though I only really use them passively through search results, and always verify the results separately. And I have a fundamental understanding of how they work. While I understand what Linus is getting at in a practical sense, I worry he is putting his head in the sand regarding the heavy handed agendas at work in the implementation of AI as we know it now. And I think that is a definite bad thing to be ignorant of. I personally won’t embrace “AI” until it is liberated from the agenda of power and inequality. Though, I cannot but accept its level of influence in daily life, and will attempt to understand and recognize if it fundamentally evolves or changes.

Edit: “they’re just new and selfish people will try to find an angle with them, same as it’s always been.” Just wanted to add that yeah, its pretty highly focused in that way. And until society can fundamentally change, that is and always will be a huge problem applying such technologies. I mean shit, look at the fuckin internet.

This man should have been taken away in a straight jacket.

Edit: also, the whole Jon Ossoff questioning is here, at 1:46:05. Good to hear in it’s entirety: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9BYMPKDB3g

Well most of them won’t read beyond the headline; they’ll likely just make massive assumptions based on title and their own predispositions. Sounds to me like Linus is trying to leave room for some of the practical nature of LLMs and implement them as useful tools, but it seems like he may be a little ignorant of the various agendas of LLM developers themselves. Just my stupid take.

THIS IS A PETES COFFEE HOUSE!!

I may be wrong. Read/heard it quite some time ago and whatever it was left me with a strong impression, but I am also finding info to the contrary. It’s gonna bug the hell outta me now.

I like mc Chris until I found out he was a drump supporter. Ngl some of his tunes are fire.

Edit: I remember hearing/reading this quite some time ago and being very disappointed, but now cannot find anything to support it. My bad folks.

Dental plan!

Lisa needs braces…

Louder for those in the back!

Blowing with the wind, is he? Someone inform me if this isn’t just pure posturing for voters.

Edit: Holy crap! What an interesting split on this comment. Look people, all I was trying to do was glean more info on what type of billionaire behavior this guy’s been exhibiting, and perhaps have a measured discussion on the subject. Truth be told, no billionaire or person of such excessive means can be trusted until separated from such wealth and means, and certainly all high profile politicians say the favorable thing and then do something else. I’d rather folks share what they know etc even just to approximate where this guy is on that scale; it’s interesting (and somewhat disappointing) that the middle ground I imagined (ie: has done some good, still don’t trust him) just really not represented here. I just don’t know where the bar is anymore. I do know that getting vitriolic and irrational, or conversely strongly supporting establishment types is ultimately distracting and a useful tool to those in power.

Damn that is cool. I’m glad I learned these things about geese today!

And those!

Indeed, though I believe it is a tiered club. Millionaires eat shit and do immoral/reprehensible things for their paycheck, and generally have to testify to the ideology in some fashion. Billionaires eat comfortably atop those particular servants, I’d speculate.

Kimmel’s in the millionaire tier and is very appropriately mediocre. It’s almost weird how he’s so much the same as when I was kid watching comedy central. Just a little more pc and mainstream (misogyny isn’t as broadly acceptable anymore, I guess?).

I just like that he’s bringing attention to the absolute disgrace of it all and a broad audience is at least in earshot. Like, maybe it’ll help. And I personally wouldn’t go so far as to give Trump credit for being correct about anything. Chalk that up to broken clock syndrome.
