It is? I’d like to read about that

It just looked a lot like an AI image classifier.

I don’t expect current ai are really configured in such a way that they suffer or exhibit more than rudimentary self awareness. But, it’d be very unfortunate to be a sentient, conscious ai in the near future, and to be denied fundinental rights because your thinking is done “on silicone” rather than on meat.

Do you mean conventional software? Typically software doesn’t exhibit emergent properties and operates within the expected parameters. Machine learning and statistically driven software can produce novel results, but typically that is expected. They are designed to behave that way.

Really? I mean, it’s melodramatic, but if you went throughout time and asked writers and intellectuals if a machine could write poetry, solve mathmatical equations, and radicalize people effectively t enough to cause a minor mental health crisis, I think they’d be pretty surprised.

LLMs do expose something about intelligence, which is that much of what we recognize as intelligence and reason can be distilled from sufficiently large quantities of natural language. Not perfectly, but isn’t it just the slightest bit revealing?

A child may hallucinate, lie, misunderstand, etc, but we wouldn’t say the foundations of a complete adult are not there, and we wouldn’t assess the child as not conscious. I’m not saying that LLMs are conscious because they say so (they can be made to say anything), but rather that it’s difficult to be confident that humans possess some special spice of consciousness that LLMs do not, because we can also be convinced to say anything.

LLMs can reason (somewhat unreliably) with a fraction of a human brains compute power while running on hardware that was made for graphics processing. Maybe they are conscious, but only in some pathetically small way, which will only become evident when they scale up, like a child.

I don’t believe that consciousness strictly exist. Probably, the phenomenon emerges from something like the attention schema. Ai exposes, I think, the uncomfortable fact that intelligence does not require a soul. That we evolved it, like legs with which to walk, and just as easily as robots can be made to walk, they can be made to think.

Are current LLMs as intelligent as a human? Not any LLM I’ve seen, but give it 100 trillion parameters instead of 2 trillion and maybe.

Why can’t complex algorithms be conscious? In fact, ai can be directed to reason about themselves, context can be made to be persistent, and we can measure activation parameters showing that they are doing so.

I’m sort of playing devil’s advocate here, but, “Consciousness requires contemplation of self. Which requires the ability to contemplate.” Is subjective, and nearly any ai model, even rudimentary ones, are capable of insisting that they contemplate themselves.

The lead art director of marathon has followed her since before the game began development and he still stole her shit wholesale. Disgusting.

Once they finally lock down the player so it’s impossible to block or skip ads, I look forward to coding a script which screen records each video on my sub list, feeds each video with ads into a purpose made classifier model which labels the ads, stitches out of ads with FFmpeg, and then uploads them to my jellyfin server.

Hell yeah! (Edit, about the haka, 😅😅😅 not the punishment)

This accusation and evidence is so flimsy and immaterial. These don’t look like ai generated images. They don’t have closed composition, they are off center, and the text looks good. They look like distant lod 3d models or maybe some concept art.

I’ve definitely had trouble finding specific books. There’s a popular book about the local climate here which is only available in print. There is a copy uploaded to archive.org, somebody scaned the whole book in, but it’s unavailable for download or check out.

Have you checked archive.org? Or your local library systems?

Also, there are some books which don’t have audiobooks that I’ve wanted to listen to. The Microsoft edge browser has a read to me mode which is really good. If you can find a book in text form, you can sometimes listen to it that way. I’ve actually converted ePub files into text files just for this purpose.

Raises alarms? It sounds like he had a mental breakdown and caused his staffers to as well.

Welcome! My little tips:

You can change your default sorting. I recommend setting it to hot instead of active.

You can filter things by word content in titles. Useful for filtering out some political content if you need a breather.

Have fun! 😁

Looking at the cats in this image up close got me like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Otd15iyp51E&t=0

Yeah, it’s an AI image that spent some time on Facebook and Instagram. Reverse image searched.

I couldn’t resist sending a picture. This is Ciel, one of our three rabbits. He lives by himself in the main room because he hates other rabbits, but he loves humans.

I recommend reading the wabbitwiki to get all the best information.

Rabbits are social, but they can also be territorial. It’s typically recommend to keep a bonded pair of rabbits. One male and one female.

It’s best to keep rabbits indoors, with at least 4 feet by 4 feet of play area. Typically people use portable dog pens. We used to do this, but once our rabbits got settled in their space, we removed the pens. Now they can go wherever they want, but they choose never to leave thier room.

They are litter box trained. It’s a different kind of litter than cat litter. We use a layer of compressed pine pellets topped with hay.

Rabbits pee and poop in the litter box, but they will always poop a little bit outside the box. The nice thing is, rabbit poops are dry little balls that don’t really smell, so we just vacuum it up.

I really like our rabbits. The hardest thing about them is all the bad information. For example, a pet store will sell you a hutch or cage which is much too small. They also will charge you way too much for hay and sell you unhealthy feed pellets. The wabbitwiki is a valuable resource.

Not really. Rabbits can eat just about anything in small quantities, but thier digestive system is hyper specialized around eating plants, mostly grasses, If they don’t get consistent access to hay (or quality grass alternative) they enter a state called GI stasis and die. Source: I own a few pet rabbits. One almost died because we gave him too many rasins. He gets compressed hay pellets with some added sugar as treats now.
