It’s not really a trust thing. They are companies, not people. The top decision makers have a fubuciary responsibility to do whatever makes money. They can, and often do, get sued if they don’t. So you can expect them to sell you out. It’s literally thier purpose for existing.
Well, what I was saying is they “could”, and thus they are technically holding back. So thier failure to take Ukraine doesn’t prove they can’t take on Nato minus the US. And even now, it is still technically NATO, including the US. So their inability to take it isn’t the same as taking on NATO without the US. I don’t know if Ukraine could have held up without US money and such. Not sure the EU had enough to spare at the time. I know the EU is looking to increase production to reduce it’s reliance on the US, but I am not sure how far they have gotten.
Well TIL. I though they couldn’t make them that small back then. But anyway, the russians were producing the latest version of small tactical nukes in the 20 teens. Those are pretty new.
What I would like to see is local organizations, like even city councils, running programs to arm thier citizens. Ideally with free training and such as a requirement. Super awesome would be if they setup shop near protest sites to do some basic training and then sell the weapons to the people legally for like $10 or something. Essentially, legally and responsibly arm the protestors. If ICE starts shooting, they return fire. That should really give ICE pause.
I didn’t need to reach at all. I brought down to several simple examples. You just aren’t willing to open your mind and consider it.
I 100% agree that it confuses and ill informs many adults. That is why I think it is so important that kids be exposed to it, and taught to think critically about what it tells them. It isn’t going to go away. And who kmows, they might learn to apply that same critical thinking to what the talking heads on the internet tell them. But even if not, it would be worth it.
It really doesn’t. Tyr looking it up… Oh wait, you won’t, so here https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/prejudice 1-b nails it, but 1-a covers it to with “individual” and “group”. Which are listed even before race.
How about this. I think it is pretty well known that pilots and astronauts are trained on simulations where some of the information they get from “tools” or gauges is wrong. On the surface it is just simulating failures. But the larger purpose is to improve critical thinking. They are trained to take each peice of information into context and if it doesn’t fit, question it. Sound familiar?
AI spits out lots of information with every response. Much of it will be accurate. But sometimes there will be a faulty basis in it that causes one or more parts of the information to be wrong. But the wrongness almost always follows a pattern. In context the information is usually obviously wrong. And if you learn to spot the faulty basis, you can even sus out which information is still good. Or you can just tell it where it went wrong and it often will come back with the correct answer.
Talking to people isn’t all that different. There is a whole sub for confidently wrong on reddit. But spotting when a person is wrong is often harder because the depth of thier faulty basis can be soo much deeper than an AIs. And, they are people, so you pften can’t politely question the accuracy of what they are saying. Or they are just a podcast… I think you get where I am going.
Did you even read the comment I responded to? “Whenever I find out that someone uses any of these LLMs, or Ai chatbots, hell even Alexa or Siri, my respect for them instantly plummets.”
They are litterally judging someone before they even know any details other than that they use any form of AI at all. Could be a cyber security researcher fir all the commenter knows.
But he doesn’t actually know thier actions. He knows they “use” siri. But he knows absolutely nothing about how. If they explained in detail how they use siri, then it would not be prejudice. But just the phrase, I use siri, is far from knowing thier actions. It’s not like I use an Ice pick, which has one generally understood use.
I will say I don’t know what Russia specifically has in thier arsenal beyond the general “tactical nukes”. But artillery shell or missle… it makes little difference. Tactical nukes are relatively new, so aren’t much of an age concern as the bigger older stuff. Functionality concerns, only they really know. And I agree, which is why I said they are holding back. But if the situation changes, they may not need to hold back.
Read the word. Prejudice … pre judice… pre judgment. Judging someone on limited information that isn’t adequate to form a reasonable opinion. Hearing someone uses siri and thinking less of them on that tiny fact alone is prejudice. For all you know, siri is some part of how they make a living. Or any of a thousand reasons someone may use it and still be a good intelligent person.
The tactical ones are a grey area. They can be small enough not to end the world. They can also have far less long term effects than the larger and older ones. In short, you could nuke a military base as apposed to a city. They can be delivered as an artilery shell. So if Russia used one. I doubt the world would immediately luanch thier strategic arsenal in response.
You hit on why I don’t use them. But some people don’t care about that for a variety of reasons. Doesn’t make them less than.
Anyone who tries to use AI and not apply critical thinking fails at thier task because AI is just wrong often. So they either stop using it, or they apply critical thinking to figure out when the results are usable. But we don’t have to agree on that.
I couldn’t even finish the article. The mental gymnastics it would take to write it could only come from someone who never learned how to use AI. If anything, the article is a testament to how our children and everyone should be taught how to use AI effectively.
That sounds like a form of prejudice. I mean even Siri and Alexa? I don’t use them for different reaons… but a lot of people use them as voice activated controls for lights, music, and such. I can’t see how they are different from the clapper. As for the llms… they don’t do any critical thinking, so noone is offloading thier critical thinking to them. If anything, using them requires more critical thinking because everyone who has ever used them knows how often they are flat out wrong.
Apparently neither did the US founding fathers… checks and balances my ass.
Well, Russia is sort of holding back. They have tactical nukes, not sure how many of those nato has without the US. And going ballistic doesn’t end well for anyone. But Russia need the land of major nato members. They will pick on non-nato countries mostly, and more often they will do it by cutting off trade routes and such. Maybe they use thier now seasoned military to pick off some minor nato members, just to distract Nato from everything else. With the US pulling back from the international stage, Russia and Chine can divvy up a lot of the world.
Well of course it should be simpler, the employer should put a stop to it without even requiring a complaint. Aside from it being the right thing to do, allowing it opens them to all sorts of liability. So obviously the employer isn’t very bright. The rest was part joke, and part a way to possibly play nice and still get what she wanted. Only someone who knows him would know if it would work or make things worse. So I could have put your milage may vary, but I thought that was kind of obvious.
Well I guess you you are anti-data. I really just wanted to hear opinions.
Only when it is good for “business”
