How Do You Change a Chatbot’s Mind? When I set out to improve my tainted reputation with chatbots, I discovered a new world of A.I. manipulation.
  • My theory about what happened next — which is supported by conversations I’ve had with researchers in artificial intelligence, some of whom worked on Bing — is that many of the stories about my experience with Sydney were scraped from the web and fed into other A.I. systems.

    These systems, then, learned to associate my name with the demise of a prominent chatbot. In other words, they saw me as a threat.

    LLMs predict text, they don't have feelings or awareness. Even if a researcher did say that I call to attention the Google chatbot programmer who thought an LLM became sentient because it said so when generating text.

    Guys, my paper is sentient, it says so.

    If the AI says he's disonhest and sensational that's because enough people on the internet have said so that the AI considers it to be true.

    We need to nationalise Google, Facebook and Amazon. Here’s why
  • Best case it's gonna get bloated and beurocratic (any monopoly, but especially state run ones) and if it's government owned they'll use the power of the government to prevent competition (more than a private monopoly which will still try but won't have as much power to do so).

    Worst case it goes off the rails and the service is unavailable/unusable. If it's anything important - say the Soviet's food production - anybody who needs that service doesn't get it.

    Do you know anyone who wants an AI phone?
  • Was curious so searched it, looks like the two big AI features are AI image editing and Google Gemini, both of which are apps look available on other devices. They can always be disabled, but Pixels are great for GeapheneOS anyways.

    An AI asics chip for more efficient local software might have been cool but doesn't looks like it comes with one.

    YouTube Not Accessible Across Russia.
  • I'm not saying they believe that, I'm just commenting on what their government is saying.

    I have very little knowledge on what the average Russian citizen thinks.

    How the Frontal Lobotomy Won the Nobel Prize in 1949
  • What barbarity we once had.

    Anyway, time to prescribe an 8 year old an amphetamine because he fidgets to much when told to sit at a desk for 8 hours.

  • Not a Russian political expert, but the fact Putin keeps calling it "denazification" and a "special military operation" leads me to believe there's a lot of people who don't support a full blown war.
