Wut?

Alchemist and Battlemage cards were fine.

Edit: oh no. It’s a pivot to AI compute 🤦‍♂️

“What is a yoot?”

Looks at numbers.

Subtracts money being spent, from money being earned.

Huh.

Are you sure?

Ologies.

Each episode features a guest expert on a subject, talking about their field.

Think psychologist, dermatologist, neurologist, etc.

Except it’s often fields of study you didn’t even know have an “ology” title for the people who study it.

The original “One” phone was even supposed to run cyanogemod out of the box at one point.

This particular thing IS a common-sense technicality. Without it, every new instance, the second it came online, would start to try and mirror THE ENTIRE FEDIVERSE.

The ideal would be some kind of in-between, but that’s a lot more complex, and involves the developers making decisions for you in terms of what to pull in and what not to.

It’s not just getting your communities seen.

Content from other instances for you and your users won’t show up in the all feed unless someone on your instance (or a bot) subs to the relevant communities.

Only off-instance communities with at least one local subscriber will federate.

You also wont immediately see new instances and their communities, and they won’t see you.

Heck yeah!

I’m gonna make a couple celebratory posts on !gameart@sopuli.xyz.

Also, a tip on quickly getting up to speed with federation, is to get your instance and communities set up on lemmy-federate.com.

Since content only shows up for users on instances with subscribers, the idea is to use a bot account on each participating instance to have that one required subscriber, so that posts from new communities actually show up on other instances, rather than just the originating one.

It basically allows you to kick-start federation, actually allowing users to organically discover your instance and communities.

edit: There is an active Balatro community at !balatro@piefed.social.

If you have access to another device, you can log into icloud.com and remotely log out of the phone.

Files “deleted” from icloud can also be restored on icloud.com/recovery for up to 30 days after deletion.

What’s lemmy?

Oh. We exist.

You may need to be subbed to a relevant community (for me it’s anime girls) to repeatedly see a given user to the point that you start recognizing them. I certainly have users I recognize.

You might know me for running the dailycomic bot that has continued the CnH posting after the original mod stopped doing it manually, or the !moomin@sopuli.xyz community.

But I know for a fact most people who’d recognize my handle, consider me “the anime girl poster”. I use the same username in games, and have been asked “are you the MentalEdge from Lemmy” once, which was new.

From my perspective there are also people who comment often enough that I remember them.

There’s the guy that posts a daily collection of screenshots from games he is playing, along with commentary on how he likes the games.

There’s a couple big names over on lemmyshitpost.

Same goes for tenforward.

There’s Blaze, who I know as a general background engine of activity and advocate for good on the fediverse.

There’s a bunch more, but I’m not gonna bombard them with mentions.

Like you said, it might be impossible to avoid ascribing things like intentionality to it

That’s not what I meant. When you say “it makes stuff up” you are describing how the model statistically predicts the expected output.

You know that. I know that.

That’s the asterisk. The more in-depth explanation a lot of people won’t bother getting far enough to learn about. Someone who doesn’t read that far into it, can read that same phrase and assume that we’re discussing what type of personality LLMs exhibit, that they are “liars”. But they’d be wrong. Neither of us is attributing intention to it or discussing what kind of “person” it is, in reality we’re referring to the fact that it’s “just” a really complex probability engine that can’t “know” anything.

No matter what word we use, if it is pre-existing, it will come with pre-existing meanings that are kinda right, but also not quite, requiring that everyone involved in a discussion know things that won’t be explained every time a term or phrase is used.

The language isn’t “inaccurate” between you and me because you and I know the technical definition, and therefore what aspect of LLMs is being discussed.

Terminology that is “accurate” without this context does not and cannot exist, short of coming up with completely new words.

Yes.

Who are you trying to convince?

What AI is doing is making things up.

This language also credits LLMs with an implied ability to think they don’t have.

My point is we literally can’t describe their behaviour without using language that makes it seems like they do more than they do.

So we’re just going to have to accept that discussing it will have to come with a bunch of asterisks a lot of people are going to ignore. And which many will actively try to hide in an effort to hype up the possibility that this tech is a stepping stone to AGI.

Obviusly.

And like hallucinations, it’s undesired behavior that proponents off LLMs will need to “fix” (a practical impossibility as far as I’m concerned, like unbaking a cake).

But how would you use words to explain the phenomenon?

“LLMs hallucinate and lie” is probably the shortest description that most people will be able to grasp.

Yup. The way the article titled itself isn’t helping.

Seems like it’s a technical term, a bit like “hallucination”.

It refers to when an LLM will in some way try to deceive or manipulate the user interacting with it.

There’s hallucination, when a model “genuinely” claims something untrue is true.

This is about how a model might lie, even though the “chain of thought” shows it “knows” better.

It’s just yet another reason the output of LLMs are suspect and unreliable.

Same but among arch users it’s “your config” and “my config”.

I’m referencing this.

I’m antitheist, personally.

We have the power of god and anime on our side.

The actual one.
