It's almost as if the LLMs that got hyped to the moon and back are just word calculators doing stochastic calculations one word at a time... Oh wait...
No, seriously: all they are good for is making things sound fancy.

Ehh, I use NovelAI, and it kind of turns writing into an interactive CYOA game. If I get stuck in a scene and I dunno what to put next, I’ll have a character say or do something, and let the AI go “yeah! And—” like a good improv partner in my voice.
But it’s not a “discussion” or instruct model, so it’s slightly less stupid. Except when it gets written facts wrong that are active in the lorebook and memory, and it ignores them.
It's not reductive. It's absolutely how those LLMs work. The fact that it's good at guessing as long as your inputs follow a pattern only underlines that.
No, it does not "check itself". You mixed up "completely random guesses" and stochastically calculated guesses... ChatGPT has.an obscenely large corpus of training data that was further refined by a blatant disregard for copyright and tons and tons of exploited workers in low wage countries, right?
So imagine the topic "setup Wordpress". ChatGPT has just about every article indexed that's on the internet about this. Word for word. So it's able to assign a number to each word and calculate the probability of each word following every other word it scanned. Since WordPress follows a very clear pattern as to how it's set up, those probabilities will be very clear cut.
The details the user entered can be stitched in because ChatGPT can very easily detect variables given the huge amount of data. Imagine a CREATE USER MySQL command. ChatGPTs sources will be almost identical up until it comes to the username which suddenly leads to a drop on certainty regarding the next Word. So there's your variable. Now stitch in the word the user typed after the word "User" and bobs your uncle.
ChatGPT can "write programs" because programming (just as human language) follows clear patterns that become pretty distinct if the amount of data you analyze becomes large enough.
ChatGPT does not check anything it spurts out. It just generates a word and calculates which word is most likely to follow that one.
It only knows which sources of it's training data it should xluse because those were sorted and categorized by humans slaving away in Africa and Asia, doing all the categories by hand.
No, seriously: all they are good for is making things sound fancy.
This is the danger though.
If “boomers” are making the mistake of thinking that AI is capable of great things, “zoomers” are making the mistake of thinking society is built on anything more than some very simple beliefs in a lot of stupid people, and all it takes to make society collapse is to convince a few of these stupid people that their ideas are any good.
I disagree with the last part. Society and it’s many systems is pretty hard to collapse even if you managed to drug a huge portion of the population, gave them guns and fed them propaganda. Now imagine throwing heaps of people into jail like in Czech, still standing just more useless. Just look at portions of the middle east. The majority of people just get good at being lazy and defer accountability to the most violent assholes who then become dictators, the rest of society then selectively breeds the “dictators”.
If this sounds dystopic consider that what you said lead to what this comment is, which is dumb. Now which is dumber?
I find it positive that 70+ are interested in AI. Normally they just yammer away how culture and cars were better and “more real” in the 60’s and 70’s.
i mean they are right, it’s just… they’re the ones responsible for ruining it…
around the 60’s is when most of the world nuked its public transport infrastructure and bulldozed an absurd amount of area to build massive roads, and older cars were actually reasonably repairable and didn’t have computers and antennas to send data about you to their parent company…
but they merrily switched to cars so they could enjoy the freedom of being stuck in traffic and having to ferry kids around everywhere, and merrily kept buying new cars that were progressively less repairable and ever increasing in size, until we’re at the point where parents are backing over their own children because their cars are so grossly oversized that they can’t see shit without cameras.
You are missing by one generation. GenX is the MTV generation that started driving after mid 90’s. Cars already started to get economical by then, at least in europe. It was those 60’s children in the 70’s and yuppies of 80’s that favored big fuel guzzlers.
Water cooling at what kind of scale? Since you can engineer a system with the final heat exchanger to the environment stuck in a river. Is that air cooling with extra steps?
Some guy once built a geocooled system back in I think 2010, just to cool quad SLI 580s. He had some crazy 6-screen Sony FW900 setup with a fresnel lens.
LinusTechTips has a cooling system that uses a water loop under his backyard pool to water cool an entire home server rack.
Granted uptime seems… less than ideal. They keep not hiring a plumber to do/inspect it and effectively re-jury-rigging it for videos. But solid (liquid) idea.
It's not even really a swear word. Slightly vulgar, maybe, but "pussy" isn't on the same level as "fuck" or "shit". It's not even the same level as "bitch" or "turd". Ironic...the site was built by pussies...
Oh I didn’t even see that someone had blurred “pussy”, at least that could be explained by OP being a child and wanting to share this in the family group chat. I meant the fact that the original creator used “fck”*, like anyone who doesn’t have to deal with broadcasting regulations would ever have a reason to pointlessly censor themselves.
