I donâ(TM)t recall saying someone doesnâ(TM)t have a clue. I said thereâ(TM)s hype (by companies that stand to gain from the hype. Big difference. As for an LLM that doesnâ(TM)t matter - all LLMs in practice today are based on the transformer architecture and there are mathematical limits to transformer architecture based models. The discussion is not on one particular LLM. Itâ(TM)s on the limitations of the LLM transformer architecture. For you to understand those discussions it would be helpful to know how LLMs are constructed to begin with using the transformer architecture (if you donâ(TM)t already).

I work with LLMs. I donâ(TM)t just train them, Iâ(TM)ve implemented the base engines for some of my work where we need them to support language X. But yes attacking someone and lacing it with opinions and calling to authority are your way of trying to argue a point. But thatâ(TM)s fine. You do you. Strongly suggest you look for videos by Yann LeCun (chief AI Scientist at Meta) if youâ(TM)re looking for more authoritative sources that describe the limitations of LLMs.

This is a standard hype strategy. Start with a flawed premise, and before anybody has a chance to refute it, pose a question that assumes this premise to be true and ask people to discuss that instead. How about posing the basic premise - are LLMs capable of inventing innovative COMPLETE software solutions or are they only capable of regurgitating existing well known solutions to well known problems (that too limited by the context window). The answer is quite obvious for everyone who has worked with LLMs. Everything else is noise.

Thereâ(TM)s this guy who makes short Instagram reels called âoeTales of the cryptâ or something. They are basically interview type shorts but with alien forms. He writes the script, creates interesting characters, acts out the parts using his own voice and finally uses AI tools to animate AI generated images, change the the sound of the voice to match the character and he creates some incredibly funny shorts. To me thatâ(TM)s artistic because he blends his skill with ai tools with his own creativity to create something entertaining and thought provoking.

Scroll this topic and you'll find both their responses. But you can find Samatha here: https://slashdot.org/~Samantha...

It is. See @Samantha+Wright, and @DogFoodBuss' links which show users running the model localy where the model answers questions without censorship. Servers running the model in China, for example the official DeepSeek chatbot will have to adhere to their local laws which makes sense. I prefer DeepSeek personally because it manages to run even when I'm on a VPN whereas ChatGPT for example seems to stall and not respond over VPN connections (that is just my experience).

Why do you politicize every discussion (AND do it as anonymous). Do better?

Zuck can have some reeal friends.

My conspiracy theory is that CEOs also have real-estate investments and the office rentals fattens their pockets through indirect channels. Add to that the vested interests of the automotive industry and oil industry and infrastructure industry, and it's not in the interests of the power structures for people to settle outside of over-populated cities. Humanity spread over a larger surface area would mean less fake scarcity and a more balanced cost structure. Which doesnt help the rich.

Don't they use machine learning?

You canâ(TM)t have charts without people even making an attempt to follow scientific advice without screaming bloody murder. And while there might not be charts for the US, experiences in countries like South Korea and Australia have shown drastic improvements when mask mandates were followed and currently showing an uptick in mass spread as soon as group gatherings were allowed again - because the mandate is masks AND social distancing.

Here you go. The world is not such a terrible place: https://twitter.com/mjasay/sta...

There's a big difference between legality and enforcement. Drugs (including weed) are illegal in Thailand. But you'll find weed lounges on several islands. Just don't carry anything outside. Prostitution is illegal in Thailand. I'll let that stand on its own. I'm not equating prostitution to being an LGBT individual - merely point out that just because something is illegal doesn't mean the government is up in arms chasing individuals who even "feel" different. Tourism brings in a f-ton of money to all these economies, so they let foreigners be unless the said foreigner is working extra hard to rub it in their face and trying to "de-legitimize" their culture somehow - however bigoted the culture might be. And as you pointed out, LGBT have strong legal protections in the USA. Yet it would be ridiculous to say that LGBT individuals are safe everywhere in the US. To say that the US is somehow a safe haven for LGBT merely because of "law" is insane to me. Culture matters more and there's plenty of places that could do WAY better in the US. I find more parts of Thailand to be more tolerant to foreign LGBT individuals than the US even if they don't enjoy the legal protections as they do in the US. Not just Thailand - Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea all do better in my opinion ie you aren't at risk of being pummeled by someone random. And yes I have met LGBT individuals in China and Russia as well and they managed just fine. Having said that, to each their own. For some the prevalence of bigotry (legal or otherwise) and hatred is an admissible risk of traveling and they learn to navigate that space. For others, maybe not.

Wasn't comparing them to the West. They are clearly different cultures, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. Was merely saying visiting these places is an amazing experience. Yes, LGBT individuals wouldn't have the exact same freedoms as they would in say, San Francisco, but even as a straight person, I wouldn't have the same freedoms I enjoy in my country of origin either - mostly because of differences in culture and mindset - I would even dress differently in certain cultures. This continues to be true whenever you go to a different culture - and tbh, sadly, even in America there are still places LGBT individuals would not enjoy the same freedoms as they did elsewhere in the country. These issues are not unique to the said countries. We don't have to agree about EVERYTHING to be able to enjoy other cultures. It's ok to enjoy some aspects of it, while vehemently rejecting others, and of course, doing the rejection in a way that does not jeopardize our own safety. If we can do that, we can study many different cultures first hand (minus the media hype/distortion) and we can decide for ourselves what we like or don't like about our own culture and go about improving it or merely reflecting on it. We don't have to live in a binary accept all/reject all world. Much can be experienced/improved by finding common middle ground. This is merely based on my personal experience and the experiences of the several I have met during my travels INCLUDING LGBT individuals.

Good for you. Ignorance is bliss.
