You need to figure out what it means to have "free thought", "to reason", "have deep understanding" and be able to apply knowledge in unfamiliar environments or scenarios. You have to figure out what it means to "dream". You have to figure out what it means to hold "ethics", "morals" and even "beleifs".

@slashdot When are we going to resign ourselves to a position of not achieving AGI and so-called AI in the first place? Hmmm 🧐 Fundamentally I don't think we understand how the human brain works or what it means to be a "conscious free thinking being" -- I'm not convinced we'll figure this out to be honest.

@xuu must be extremely unlucky, as it picks a random pod in the peering list 🤣 -- Oh but wait... @xuu have you updated recently? @lyse did add some new feature that means you have to go to Settings -> Poderator settings and trust the peers you have there, including my pod 😅

@prologic using Yarn he isn’t supposed to follow it, it should show as context, no?
They are however pretty good at auto-complete though. If you wire up Continue.dev with VSCode and a local Ollama powered codeastral model, it's pretty decent. Or if you use the open source friendly Codeium.

@eldersnake With enough data and enough computing power you can simulate anything right or create grand illusions that appear to real they're hard to tell 😅 -- But yes, at the end of the day LLM(s) today are just large probabilistic models, stochastic parrots.

I like this comment on Slashdot in the above link:


>LLMs don't have an understanding of anything. They can only regurgitate derivations of what they've been trained on and can't apply that to something new in the same ways that humans or even other animals can. The models are just so large that the illusion is impressive.

So true.

@bender Fair point, could be. I probably have to implement it first or create some kind of a mockup to spare me the effort of some feature that I rip out again. :-)
@xuu Yep!
@movq Riiiight, I now remember reading that a long time ago. :-)

Yes, absolutely, this should be mentioned in the spec. I’m guilty – when I first wrote my twtxt client, I forgot that If-Modified-Since is a thing. 🤦

@lyse agree on the HTTP stuff. I mean we could mention that for optimization see RFC yadda yadda should be followed for caching. but not have it part of the spec proper.

@prologic lies, and scams aside, there is plenty of need in the world. Yet, you can’t help everyone. Best way to do it is to donate to a worthy cause, and ignore one offs.
@bender I've worked with this guy before. Paid him to do some freelance work. Not very good IMO. So haven't hired him ever again. But he keeps saying hi every now and then on Signal. And then every few months or so asking stuff like this ☝️ -- Last time it was money for private school fees for his child.

How am I suppose to know whether stuff like this (_sound serious_) is for realz or not? 😅

Quando o gov corta na ciência, não é porque não sabe o seu valor.
Quando o gov corta na educação, não é porque não sabe gerir a sociedade.
Quando o gov corta nos programas sociais, não é porque não reconhece o seu papel social.

É agenda: este gov de direita, tal como qualquer outro, tem como base programática o desmantelamento do estado social e da coisa pública. E nisso tem sido extremamente eficaz e competente.

Uma esquerda que denuncia a suposta incompetência ou burrice das pessoas no poder dá-lhes o crédito de estarem empenhados numa sociedade melhor pra todes, e que ao falhar nisso é uma questão de incompetência.

E quando essa denúncia é feita através de comentários sarcásticos e apontamentos de "hipocrisia", servindo mais para afirmar superioridade intelectual do que realmente denunciar e avançar alternativas, é uma trágica forma de clicktivismo que continua extremamente em voga -- e a direita agradece.

tl;dr: tratar as medidas opressivas/autoritárias/securitárias de qualquer direita como fruto de burrice ou incompetência não é só um erro, é alimentar e até legitimar o seu discurso
