Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•For those who's country's national language is **NOT** English, how fluent is your English compared to your country's language?

Glad youvmade that connection lol

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How old did you get your driver's license? Did you learn driving from a driving school or from parents? (or some friend or relative?)
2·1 month agoGot my license at 26, given that i live in the middle of no where that pretty much my life began.
Didnt fox news have to change their name to fox entertainment?

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The $20 USD bill is the new 5$ bill
272·1 month agoYeah, even ignoring that, theres no way that claim is valid. The price of food here has over doubled since 2019. I used to work at a store during that time and got a burrito every single day, after tax it came to $1.03. Now, at the same store, same burrito, it cost $2.46 after tax. My $3 box of snack cakes comes to $5 now, cigarettes have almost trippled, and my rent has almost doubled since i moved here in 2020. Almost everything here is at least twice as expensive as it was in 2019, and my wage has only gone from about $9/h to about $12/h. I even have pictures of price tags from then, once i find them ill upload then/now pictures of the price tags.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•If I'm struggling with depression, I get ostracized as a "loser" that haven't accomplished anything but if I die in a tragic accident tonight, I'm a "young man with a bright future ahead"
3·1 month agoFor me its not so much that, its moreso just that I am disgusted by those that claim to be virtuous and pretend to care. Most people only care about others socially, when those people are struggling they rarely help unless theres social consequences for not helping.
I just hate hypocrites

31·1 month agoOkay, so the rest of this is just theory crafting based on logical reasoning, but id like to hear your take. Quickly googling, it shows that we have succesfully mapped the neurons in one millimeter of mouse brain, and it had about 200,000 cells (neural nodes). Thats a lot of neural nodes to emulate, let alone the connections. It would seem to me that its far easier to customize our hardware. Mossfets dont strike me as up to the task, so it would seem to me that the future of ai lies in growing actual neurons and training them. You would achieve a much higher neural density that way, and the work is already being done to make that tech feasible.
Basically, do you think its a hardware issue?

54·1 month agoDownvotes mean nothing other than stifle conversations on lemmy anyways, and fortunately i woke up to find that a bunch fo people were willing to have pretty solid discussions on the matter. All in all, it definitely seems people here are more willing to doscuss the problems than somewhere like c/fuckai
I learned something and i like to think i got people thinking, so id say it was worthwhile :)

51·1 month agoIt is a massive assumption, but i tend to operate on the belief that capitalism will fall soon and some decent system will appear, because otherwise all this is a moot point anyways. Without the destruction of capitalism well all be dead within 20 years, so i dont find it as entertaining to speculate about a future where we are still bound by things like our economy. As far as the progression of ai this last year, didnt claude just learn to lie? Thats a huge step in development, not because its good, but because it shows our models are progressing. They know what were aiming for and theyre willing to lie to get to that target, which does actually show the most basic level of problem solving. Thats… huge actually.

46·1 month agoIm not entirely convinced this is accurate. I do see your point and i had not considered that there is no more training data to use, but at the end of the day our current ai is just pattern recognition. Hence, would you not be able to use a hybrid system where you set up billions of use cases(translate point a to point b, apply a force such that object a rolls a specified distance, set up a neural network using backpropogation with 3 hidden layers, etc) and then have two adversarial ais. One of which attempts to “solve” that use case by randomly trying stuff, and the other basically just says “youre not doing good enough and heres why”. Once your first is doing a good job with that very specific use case, index it. Now when people ask for that specifc use case or a larger problem that includes that use case, you dont even need AI. You just plug in the already solved solution. Now your code base becomes basically just AI filling out wvery possibly question on stack overflow.
Obviously this isnt actual coding with AI, at the end of the day youre still doing all the heavy lifting. Its effectively no different from how most coders code today, just steal code from stack overflow XD the only difference would be that stack overflow is basically filled with every conceivable question, and if youre isnt answered, you can just request that they set up a new set of ad ais to solve the new problem.
Secondarily, you are the first person to give me a solid reason as to why the current pardigm is unworkable. Despite my mediocre recall i have spent most of my life studying AI well before all this llm stuff, so i like to think i was at least well educated on the topic at one point. I appreciate your response. I am somewhat curious about what architecture changes need to be made to allow for actual problem solving. The entire point of a nerual network is to replicate the way we think, so why do current AIs only seem to be good at pattern recognition and not even the most basic of problem solving? Perhaps the architecture is fine, but we simply need to train up generational ais that specifically focus on problem solving instead of pattern recog?

1222·1 month agoOk i doubt anyone is going to be willing to have this discussion, but here i am. My assessment is as follows: it would seem to me that to be of value, “ai” doesnt need to be perfect, it just needs to be better than the average programmer. If it can produce the same quality code twice as fast, or if it can produce code thats twice as good in the same amount of time. If I want it to code me a video game, i would personally judge it by how well it does against what i would expect from human programmers. Currently there is no comparison, im no coding expert but even i find myself correcting ai for even the simplest of code, but thats only temporary. Ten years ago this tech didnt even exist, ten years from now(assuming it doesnt crash our economy in more ways than one) i would imagine the software will at least be comparable to an entry level programmer.
I guess what Im getting at is that people rail against ai for faults that a human would make worse. Like self driving cars, having seen human drivers i am definitely wanting that tech to work out. Obviously its ideal for it to be perfect and coordinate with other smart cars to reduce traffic loads and inprove safety for everyone. But as long as its safer than a human driver, i would prefer it. As long as it codes better than your average overworked unpaid programmer, it becomes a useful tool.
That being said, I do see tons of legitimate reasons to dislike AI, especially in its current form. A lot, id say most, of those issues dont actually lie with AI at all, or even with llms. Most of the issues ive heard with AI development are actually thinly veiled complaints about capitalism, which is objectively failing even without AI. The others are mostly complaints about the current state of the tech, which i find to be less valid. Its like complaining that your original ipod didnt have lidar built in like they do now. Nixing the capitalism issue about how this tech will be used, and how its currently being funded, and its environmental impacts, and the fact that this level of research is unsustainable and will collapse the economy, give the tech time and it will mature. That almost feels like sarcasm given those very real issues, but again, those are all capitlism issues. If we were serious about saving our planet, a guardian AI that automatically drone strikes sorices of intense pollution would go a long way. If youre worried about robots takin yer jerbs, try not being capitalism-pilled and realise that humans got by for eons without jobs or class structures. Post scarcity is almost mandatory under proper AI, and capitlism exists to ensure that post scarcity cant happen.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do you think about the scientific controversy on the impact of social media?
2·1 month agoSocial media and the loneliness epidemic are the same picture. If we want our society to heal and stop being so dramatically polarized, we need to eat the rich and get everyone off social media. And get everyone educated to high school graduate level at a minimum.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Capitalism only asissts innovation for the first few years of existence. After that its a grift.
81·2 months agoCool, managed to create all that and yet hasnt solved hunger, medical care, homelessness, or anything or substantive value. Any system where your priorities dont lie in improving peoples lives is a flawed system.
