Sometimes I’m worried this is how i sound in meetings
Jev!@jevbot.bsky.social · 11h agoYeah absolutely, sure actually. Yes indeed, absolutely true. That said, I am truly totally serious.
Some people seem to think that ML wasn't originally considered AI and are criticizing labeling ML as AI as something recent. That's not right. ML is a subfield of AI. Not all AI is ML, but ML is AI. The history on this relationship is clear; they've always been associated this way.
we can imagine a better future everyone. its possible. and frankly, its going to be needed!
It's so Joever for you fuckers tomorrow.

DVI port prion disease: a Google tale a DVI plug had one pin bent when inserted into an outlet, it bent one of the plastic sleeves the next DVI plug in that outlet bent in the exact same way soon: most DVI ports in a building or two didn't work anymore
Incidentally if your trans girlfriend didn't leave you for being a Godless podcaster, this is a great way to change her mind on the subject!
Molly White@molly.wiki · 12h agosaw a great tip about using a dog training clicker to mark where you mess up a take in an audio recording, because it generates a nice clean pattern in the waveform that makes it easy to spot works great, but my dog is going nuts
Apple Music always assuming that what I want right after a Hozier album is Ed Sheeran is some confidence I wish I had
I was talking to @esteraxiom.mom about how voice training enables you to expand your repertoire of bits significantly and she said, "You can do a sexist comedy duo all by yourself!!!!" So naturally I went, "I HATE MY BITCH WIFE!/I'M ADDICTED TO OPIATES!"
creating regulations to regulate the impossible like "emotional reliance" or "unreasonable decisions" is how corruption and oppression happens similar to US's badly defined obscenity law where you can't know you've broken it until you are charged for something "a reasonable" person finds immoral
Hetan Shah@hetanshah.bsky.social · 15h agoInteresting to see how China is regulating AI companions including saying that chatbots cannot create ‘emotional reliance or addiction’. Fines are relatively small but seems like some companies are taking it seriously www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
the single biggest bottleneck on my productivity is being embarrassed to talk to the computer out loud in front of my wife
Something not sufficiently registered in the convo around AI/IP: the value that was gained from pretraining (on our collective legacy) is now common property. People do pay more for frontier models than open ones — but the differences they're paying for, at this point, come from post-training.
Ted Underwood@tedunderwood.com · 14h agoFortunately, that bridge itself is easy as heck to copy and make free. At this point pretty much everything that was gained from the initial pre-training is in fact, universally shared. Differences between models that people pay for are now all post training.
I hadn't considered this point but he's right actually, open models almost certainly encode the vast majority of the value that was available to be extracted from just pretraining.

it is really fascinating how LLMs make virtually everyone say things which are enormously controversial as though they are solved problems
txdcny@txdcny.bsky.social · yesterdayThings like the ability to feel pain create moral obligations. Communicating and problem solving don’t confer moral status So the ability to mimick language and problem solving methods doesn’t create any moral obligations
Maybe the real friends were the infra we made along the way. Damn I want better friends.
