...so damn much.

What is it with people who effectively think band aids can cure cancer... this species is doomed by its own idiocy.

I sent my kids to public school so they would have to learn how to socialize. Growing past the typical societal road blocks by seeing and recognizing them, under our parental guidance, was our modus operandi. IM(not so)HO: Public school is a minimal baseline of education, it is a parents job to push kids above that baseline.

Will these AI tools make growing above a base-line education better? Dunno, depends heavily on the LLM training criteria - the current slop engagement training criteria of public facing models is not very promising.

You have my vote!

It's called gaslighting and if you wear down the news cycle on any topic then you can get away with all kinds of crap.

(looks over comments pointing out shortsighted stupidity of article) ...never mind, I see my work is done.

If we would quit shaming people for practicing how to make babies and start offering flexible work places that allow parent(s) to work and be close by for emotional childcare then I bet "society" will be less prone to collapse.

I started using vim over 3 decades ago. I am still using vim today, mostly because I can't figure out how to quit.

swindle. You know the defrauding, cheat, trick, fleece, dupe, deceive, exploit, squeeze, milk, bleed, fool, take advantage of, mislead, delude, hoax, hoodwink, bamboozle, string along, embezzle... I think you get the idea.

Now we just have to figure out how and who is in on it?

I have llama3:8b running CPU only on my laptop. Sure, it's a little slow, but very usable. Am I missing something here?

...without an external validator to ensure accuracy? I have never seen AI perform any activity beyond trivial examples in the training canon in a self validated manner. This is an honest question, can anyone present a reliable novel ability of an AI agent?

Just for clarity, I am not asking about a cherry picked one-off it did this one thing this one time... I want examples of a reliable novel ability.

Business is business, keep the regulators out of it - HOWEVER, make law against the ability to charge interest on interest. You have debt? then you have interest as a separate line item that can't itself have interest charged on it!

No implication of any such thing, my statement was explicit to my intent.

However, from that report - the way loneliness is defined in part as "inadequate meaningful connections" then I suppose I too suffer; since I perceive an overwhelmingly inadequate number of suitably intelligent people in the world, the likes of which I would find a meaningful connection with.

That said, I find that definition of loneliness to be highly farcical (dangling participles notwithstanding...)

I'm the boss (subtext: who actually doesn't accomplish a gd thing except to make the plebs) work harder or your all fired.

Are these people actually craving social connection and somehow not getting it? Are these people self reporting or is this some kind of invasive statistic from social media posting etc.?

FWIW, I am very happy in my IRL social disconnect - being around the the other side of the bell curve is extremely bothersome.

If my browser can connect to a publicly accessible library via the internet on my behalf why can't my AI trainer? It doesn't have the fidelity of taking screenshots - it doesn't 'copy'. The training data is an amalgamation with no ability to faithfully reproduce an original; so what is the basis for blocking access to copyrighted works???

I say, give the trainer access to the USLOC and let it run.
