Computer science is like mathematics, but down to earth.
generally intelligent one.
What does this word mean? Does this refer to something that does not exist? If so why are we using it as a practical benchmark or distinction to make statements about the world?
but they should actually get credit for how often they get it right too.
My text compression algorithm for tape gets the facts right to the exact character. Beat that.
It’s a convenient way of looking at things. Saying that it’s good at one thing and bad at others. What I have come to realize with LLMs is that anywhere where experts deal with them, they are very aware of their shortcomings with respect to someone’s area of expertise. Sure, you might say they’re good at producing text, yet a journalist or someone who simply writes a ton might be able to spot generated text in an instant. The same way a photographer or painter can spot these statistical methods instantly. Rinse and repeat for coding, translation, medicine and all other tasks specific to current societal roles. That is not to say that you need to be an expert to spot LLMs or other generative ANNs, it comes down to attention and what you condition yourself to be attentive to. Of course pictures or code, or whatever will be convincing if you treat these things as secondary, like a doctor would treat creative writing as secondary to their job though necessary or a biologist would treat writing python scripts.
Fascism is back in fashion I see. Rimshot.
It is… Drum roll please… Social democracy!
Let’s consider what you are doing on a purely abstract level.
We could also do the following:
Restricting VPNs? That’s like trying to restrict the internet completely. China’s tried that and failed.
Yuse MPV.
I see how there is a beauty in that animism we apply to objects that are not alive; Essentially applying essences to objects that run counter to those essences. I think AI culture is currently the closest thing to a mass cargo cult in modern society and cargo cults are beautiful. The lesson that can be learned is that humans and human society is not just some lonesome star on the horizon of life, but too an oscillation of its context or the ecosystem it exists in.
Just sucks that the object has gotta be something so inefficient and frankly stupid. Well, it kind of needs to be stupid at least. If it was smart it could talk back and then it loses its usefulness for the purpose of idolatry.
All psychoactive substances outside of stimulants are dumb – usually…
Not to mention stimulants being dumb if used at dosages where you’d feel them. In the usually dumb category it goes.
I stopped drinking alcohol, mind you I wasn’t a drinker to any real extend at any point in time ever, after doing psychedelics once. Capisce? And a year or so after doing psychedelics I started forming the belief that even they were completely unnecessary. Nowadays I mainly drink white teas or very light green teas, meditation is the only modification I need to my mental.
Computers have finally caught up with humanity. This is good.
A famous Jazz artist said something to the effect of there being no wrong chords, what is important is what
I thought it’ll never happen that they are finally a part of human magical thinking. This is as terrifying as it’s inspiring.
chords follow.
I wouldn’t place too much trust in Bandcamp. It was acquired by Epic Games and then sold to Songtradr shortly after, it’s waiting to enshittify. It might also be better to buy off of labels and artists directly if you want to “support” an artists or a label. Used CDs and vinyls are great too.
I’ve been using it for nearly a decade, it’s changed a lot.
Same. I just simply don’t agree. If you consider tiny features not a soul needs like yearly reviews of one’s listening habits and the roll out of podcasts as things worth mentioning, ok, they were not exactly doing anything radically new at that point anyway.
I don’t know why you’d be leaving ux out.
Because UX 90% adds nothing and chiefly serves to suggest innovation.
You must be trolling come on now.
I am. I want Spotify employees to read this and get steamingly mad. They are complicit in ruining music.
+edited for formatting
Spotify’s functions have not changed a bit since 2016. It is literally the same application, what has changed are the tiny things they’re doing for compatibility but that is not really worth mentioning. Intentionally leaving UX out.
Honestly what code is there to write for this glorified web browser? They’re probably also outsourcing most of their data collection and recommendation algorithms.
Buy physical media, rip CDs, share shit and that’s it
USB C is awesome for the electrics but mechanically mid range
Those lawsuits work only short term
I realize that we might be talking entirely different languages here. For one, I do not at all hold the belief that social constructions have eternal qualities to them. Secondly, affluenza is a second order phenomenon to private wealth. Maybe third order phenomenon, as economic behaviour precedes it, standing in the middle between affluenza and private wealth. To me that’s putting the horse before the cart a bit which doesn’t compute.
lol, lmao even
Either they think they’re evil 1337 h4xx0r overlords that are gonna enslave the planet or they genuinely think their statistical apparati do anything worthwile outside of making statistics on by now 70% other statistical machines.
+just wait until AI bros about Zip compression being more efficient at classifying than “AIs”.
Not to mention that real high quality astrophotography by NASA and ESA is more often than not under free licenses. Literally the last case where it’s necessary to generate something.
Bruno Bauer strikes again, from the grave.
Props to anyone who gets this
