This is disinformation and propaganda. Here is a brief independent investigation one of these cases.

The agents did create exploits and they did find ways to communicate with each other and organized and hypothesized and collaborated together. This is not a car rolling downhill.

People here are delusional. Reality or facts are apparently not important if it’s your tribe’s ideology in question. Everything for the hivemind lol. No better than climate change deniers or magats.

LLM-MRI Python module: a brain scanner for LLMs - paper

Abstract. LLMs (Large Language Models) have demonstrated human-level lan- guage and knowledge acquisition skills in several tasks. However, despite the recent success and broad use, understanding how these skills learned are and encoded inside the underlying neural network is still challenging. The goal of the LLM-MRI package is to simplify the study of activation patterns in any transformer-based LLM, similarly to how MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) simplifies with biological brains. The package, written for the Python lan- guage, allows the mapping of neural regions using a parameterized reduction of the model’s dimensionality. Neural regions can be viewed according to the forward-pass activations stimulated by a set of documents. , the pack- age enables the creation of graph models representing the interlayer network of stimulated by a set of documents. These features allow for which- itative and quantitative assessments of the underlying structure of activations, depending on the type of documents that the LLM model is exposed to.

I miss the times when it was considered good when smart people said “I don’t know, how exciting!”.

And nobody knows because LLMs are far too complex. They have built software brain scanners to try to figure out how LLMs actually work. Just like meat brains they are too complex already to be understandable. Nobody can explain how they think or reason to the small extend that they can because we do not have any theory about intelligence or thinking.

But here we are, another fuckai post trending in all and lets approach this question from an emotional side and all argue very passionately! It feels much better to feel being sure about something. When it’s oh so obviously this or that. Must be nice.

Let me ask you directly, do you think morality should be decided by majority opinion or popularity?

What if majority opinion is decided by emotional manipulation by those with the most money and power to own all the channels of speech and can produce the most convincing and manipulative speech? Or my algorithms that reward “polarization”?

Kevin Spacey played questionable characters and villains amazingly well. His art remains without question despite most people feeling disgusted watching him now.

You are aware that you can like something that also makes you uncomfortable, yes?

Sure, I am, but I don’t think most people are. And your definition makes it clear that you’re even applying a moral purity test to the creator. If we don’t “like” the creator the art is bad eww.

Morally? You are aware of what kind of slippery slope that is that various fascists and imperialists went down already?

Interesting. Because Gen AI is certainly the annihilation of certain facets of human creativity (I’d say the sloppiest aspects). What is creativity without meaning but annihilation? (EDIT: I’ve recently rewatched Annihilation and rewatching the ending now again, I love it more than ever because how relevant it is to the currently ongoing annihilation of our civilization).

It’s also a great example of how hate bandwagoning reduces enjoyment. I’ve seen this with “Rings of Power”. It’s not the best TV show, certainly not the worst. There are like 4 subreddits discussing the show, 3 filled with endless hate and vitriol. 1 with discussions about who or how artistic decisions were made this or that way and how it conflicts with the source material. Finding that community made watching the show more enjoyable again.

So the community you choose absolutely does affect how you can enjoy entertainment or art. Basically you shouldn’t allow yourself to be infected with hate mongering because that has it’s own “economy” of karma and grifting on e.g. youtube.

A more important example would be how judgemental opinions can affect the view on “minority” cultures or the global south. Liberalism wants to commercialize it, conservatism wants to purify it.

It is but that is the harsh reality. Gen AI is no doubt an insult to what it means to be human, what we value about ourselves. What it means you either just enjoy the process, or have to work harder to create art that rises above. As long as you can see something with your inner eye and communicate that to others through your medium, art is saved.

But how much hard work is put into stuff that is never even questioned because it isn’t “trending” like OP for some reason? Because there isn’t enough bandwidth? How is that not the same problem we’ve had for the last decade? People created things in obscurity and nobody gave a shit.

Hahahe touche. Just to be clear, originality or being novel would be only one facet of what makes good art or not. AI models could soon produce endless “novel” garbage which remain garbage.

And yeah you do have a point, if you look at the endless garbage comments rolling in on social media it does beg the question. If it’s indistinguishable from AI comments, what does it say about humanity? Or does social media diminish us as a species?

But I’m a proponent of using advanced algorithms and now LLMs to improve discourse on social media. For example the endless reposts of the same garbage, with the same emotional manipulation for karma or propaganda - this an AI model could see and tag. Like “this repost #120 of a video showing X without mentioning the context Y. Funny comments are “Z” and “W”. Emotional manipulation towards “U” politics.”

We as a species are easily emotionally manipulated. And those with money and power or those who find themselves in a righteous mob of same thinking morons have the ability to reshape how people perceive the world. This is how all facets of the pluralistic overton window have become more and more polarized and have shifted towards authoritarianism. Because the social media tools spread certain memes globally now. And you see that Lemmy, despite not being owned and controlled by capitalists and developed by communists has not magically made this problem go away.

If you hate AI slop comments you should also hate human slop comments at least to a degree. It is degrading to know that much of our content can be faked by a LLM machine, but it also opens the possibility to rise above it. Simply by tagging “this is AI quality garbage”. This is one application where the primitive verbal intelligence of AI could be useful as a tool because it can be broadly applied. To raise the bar.

art is as any other language, like English, … like body language, and its value is in whether you like listening to the person speaking

That has to be the worst definition of art I’ve ever heard. You’re literally describing entertainment or content. Art is subjective, but is often supposed to make you uncomfortable, to be unpleasant to watch or experience. In order to punch a crack into that thick skull of yours. The value of art is that it can help us understand ourselves or the world or where we are going as a society.

What you are saying is DEGRADING to the the human dignity. If enough people collectively “decide”? You are literally saying that what is marketed the best through advertising or brainwashing becomes art. “Because we all here scream the loudest, we are right!” “Our hate will reshape what has value and what doesn’t! Let the vote brigade march forward!”

There is a reason artists are supposed to be poor, because they are not making the tasty morsels of dopamine candy and popular masterpieces that made billions of dollars. They are making the weird shit that makes people go “Uhhh what? Mommy!”

Go watch Eraserhead for 10 hours on repeat! Go and repent!

@HerbGrower@slrpnk.net and no I don’t think a machine can tell us what art is. But it can tell us what is novel and not. My somewhat malicious argument is even worse if you apply it to AI music. Because you can write some good song lyrics yourself and describe what you want the music to sound like, and a relatively simple model that can run on a gaming GPU can produce some absolute bangers. It’s far “worse” than it is for images. Because once we have models that can easily and objectively determine “this song is novel, e.g. different and has not stolen significant elements from any other known song” then… well mainstream music was overproduced generic slop before, so how would you argue that AI slop is worse than that if sounds actually better than the latest sweatshop produce slop they try to market to you?

I mean these are serious questions before gen AI came along, with everyone producing slop and posting it for updoots and self validation. High art is supposed to have societal value. It’s important that we continue to publicly support artists not to feed the capitalist entertainment machine or social media slop, but to continue to develop as a civilization. The solution to gen AI is really simple and the same as the crisis art has faced countless times before: Artists need to create something new with or despite the new tools if they want to stay relevant.

The question is if it matters. If an image can’t be distinguished from what AI produces, isn’t it obviously slop too and not art either? It might be pretty but not art.

It’s only art if you look at it and it tells you something that can’t easily be communicated with a thousand words. Which means it’s subjective.

To some the true dystopian take for me is that anything pretty a human produces is automatically art. Because that means there is no value “actual art”. It’s all just pretty pictures.

I’m not sure what you’re trying to say but the evidence is all there: https://themichaeljacksonallegationsblog.wordpress.com/

If you haven’t actually looked at the evidence (or absence of it) then you can keep your mouth shut you know?

I’m just sick of the systematic racism. It’s been decades of proven false accusations and media failure.

“YOur PErsonal AI AGent”. There used to be a rather pragmatic / stupid way of naming things by composing their descriptions in some socialist states.

Basically just random. It doesn’t have to sound great. Not everything needs to or should be marketed as something deeply amazing and awesome.

I wish we’d see the kind of enthusiasm of fuckai but against advertising and marketing. I believe it should be made illegal outside of product review shows. Consumerism promotes extinction.

If it dies it dies.

Are you implying that Michael Jackson was a pedophile? Because that has been pretty much proven to be completely false. Like with overwhelming absence of evidence.

If such things as truth and justice matter to you at all of course. Maybe you said this just for the lulz.

I saw this meme pop up on reddit, and it’s reposted here and follows the same disgusting trajectory here. “Oh look MJ stole!” No he didn’t, he credited Bob Fosse who admired MJ for being an amazing dancer and perfecting this style.

“Oh look it’s a snake and a child, get it? get it?” - no he was innocent and framed by the media and racist prosecutors and people seeking money.

I’m so sick how stupid evil will always triumph over justice and truth because it is so relentless and “so yummy” and “fun” to spew this shit. People have learned nothing today from OP except reinforcing the lies.

Just fucking ewww why they need to use and taint such general words with their filthy hands.

Capitalism and capitalists are the root of all evil. In socialist country it would be called “Yopeaiag 242” and be perfectly fine.

Mali voted yes too

Well you just know why US voted against it, you can imagine the conversation with Trump “They want to do what? Make USA smaller???” *throws diaper at the poor US UN ambassador

And Russia voted for it strategically to appear as less of a threat. It’s already working too!

I’m convinced the only reason this went through now is because it makes Russia look much smaller lol. “Russia bad! You get shrunk now!”

What is new is that we now for sure know that it impacts perception of how important a country is. So it is quite new, and Mercator is very much “incorrect” for the purposes of a representative map of earth.

As long as you don’t embrace communism they will win.
