Nothing gives me less confidence that something is a genuine question than opening the question with the phrase "genuine question." :(

Did you really ask this hoping to reevaluate your perspectives from the answers, or did you only ask this in hope to make OTHERS reevaluate their perspective by making them ask themselves "why am I anti-AI?"


They should add a feature called "auto-really" that just automatically says "really?" after the chatbot answers a question to check if it's going to 180 upon this tiniest bit of scrutinity.


You joke but this is almost literally what Chain-of-Thought does, at least in the early days. They basically just added "Wait," to the model's output and fed it back to the model iirc


This can't be a trillion dollar industry...


It's the ELIZA effect.


"Really?"


You know, Google has an index so it doesn't crawl the whole web every time you type something in the search box, because that would be massively wasteful.

Seeing every chatbot instantly turn into a scraper every time you type anything into it was a "uh oh" moment in the sense it was very lamentable.

If there is one thing AI has "democratized" it is scraping.


Indeed. The best endorsement is done explicitly by obnoxious users.

I use Linux, btw.


Youtube implemented the same sort of thing for channels. If you have a youtube channel and someone comments on one of your videos, there is an AI-generated "reply" that you can click to avoid having to actually think about interacting with commenters on your videos.

The weird thing is, if I commented on a channel and they sent me an AI-generated reply, I'd just hate them forever.


The answer to life, the universe and everything, I guess?


Case against 255: it looks wrong in the graph :(

Case against 256: no 0 or 1 values :(

Considering how important having a 0 and 1 value is for arithmetic in general, I think 255 is better.


I saw a thumbnail on Youtube that said "GitHub is killing open source" and I think the sheer wrongness of the statement surmises the entire idea very well.

There are many things that I don't like about Github, but I think the most important one is that Github doesn't allow users to have multiple free accounts.

You can create as many accounts as you want on Reddit, have as many blogs as you want on Tumblr, and even create multiple personae on Facebook on a single account, but Github doesn't allow you to do any of that.

You can't be a "hacker" platform when you give users less control over their privacy than Facebook provides.

I assume that is a bigger problem when you consider everyone decided to stop hosting their own forum and moving all their discussion to Github issues and Github's built-in forum.


Maybe we can reach there by using integers as fixed point decimals?


It's not called artificial intelligence for nothing.
