They aren’t bullshitting because the training data is based on reality. Reality bleeds through the training data into the model. The model is a reflection of reality.

Computers are better at logic than brains are. We emulate logic; they do it natively.

It just so happens there’s no logical algorithm for “reasoning” a problem through.

I appreciate your telling the truth. No downvotes from me. See you at the loony bin, amigo.

Fair, but the same is true of me. I don’t actually “reason”; I just have a set of algorithms memorized by which I propose a pattern that seems like it might match the situation, then a different pattern by which I break the situation down into smaller components and then apply patterns to those components. I keep the process up for a while. If I find a “nasty logic error” pattern match at some point in the process, I “know” I’ve found a “flaw in the argument” or “bug in the design”.

But there’s no from-first-principles method by which I developed all these patterns; it’s just things that have survived the test of time when other patterns have failed me.

I don’t think people are underestimating the power of LLMs to think; I just think people are overestimating the power of humans to do anything other than language prediction and sensory pattern prediction.

Is it though? According to the book The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, conflict is a sign of a trusting team, and conflict is a necessity for that team to achieve commitment.

I can attempt to explain how it it’s unclear

This graphic is from the book:

Dude your mom feels like bait

Trolling and disagreeing are not the same thing.

I am someone who “loves to disagree”, as in most of my engagement on lemmy is disagreeing. But that’s because I speak up when I feel like speaking up is needed, and when I feel like it’s needed is when what I believe is not being said.

Then we’d have a centrally-planned economy I guess. I don’t really see how a free market would work without advertising.

• Take screenshot of screen
• Send screenshot to Claude 3.7 or any other decent chatbot. Even GPT-3 is light years smarter than current Siri, but I don’t know it if can analyze images
• Run Claude’s response through a text-to-Siri-speech layer

There, now Siri can see your screen. Why can’t Apple accomplish this? Why are megacorps so inept?

To kids, death is just a word.

Including the horrible angle of headrests these days. You’re right though: nobody gives a shit about the extra safety features.

Wow you guys even lost the ability to do syntax. I guess it was only a matter of time.

Because Canada tariffs us.

Tariffs are reserved for those who tariff US goods.

It really helps if you pay enough attention to know what’s going on.

The polarity of evil has flipped so far that you can’t escape. Now anything good Musk does becomes bad in your view. Musk switches the polarity of the thing, rather than the other way around.

Musk kisses a puppy, you unfortunately must now hate puppies. Such a strong statement.

I would like to suggest a second comment as well

Maybe it’s time to get better at researching companies before major decisions. Do you have a system in place for doing background research on future large purchases?

That shame is no use unless it helps you update your behavior. Shame about a “one-off” decision in the past will continue to nag you until you figure out how to avoid the same mistake in the future.

So how can you avoid realizing ten years out that some big purchase you made supported someone you disagree with? How can you do it in advance?
