Unanimous_anonymous, to technology in Amazon’s Q has ‘severe hallucinations’ and leaks confidential data in public preview, employees warn

I think I kind of understand the term, but what does “hallucinations” in this context refer to? It seems like it might be fabricated unformation?

Basically, the model just makes stuff up.

Joker,

Not sure why someone downvoted you. That’s exactly what the term means in this context. It’s those confidently written answers that contain false or fabricated information.

And this seems like the biggest limitation for the LLM approach. The model just knows that a certain set of tokens tends to follow another set of tokens.

It has no understanding of what the tokens represent. So it does a great job of producing sentences that look meaningful, but any actual meaning in them is purely incidental.

Most people just jump from the first “shit wagon on fire” which is Xitter to the next close “shit wagon”. Because it was the new “thing” and all the “influencer” are there 🤚😲🤚.

I made a sub to talk about Elon Musk on lemmy. !elonmusk

There is a similar sub, but it’s not updated since 1 year ago. !elon

Pons_Aelius, to technology in Twitter is dead and Threads is thriving

Twitter is dead and Threads is thriving

Neither of those statements are true.

Yes, twitter is in decline with a 15% drop is users in the past year but that is far from dead.

I am no fan of twitter or EM but it still has a long way to fall before we can pull the sheet over its head.

And Reports of threads as thriving seems to be wrong in the other direction.

fb is pushing threads content to fb to boost numbers

TLDR: Indications are that both platforms are losing users but twitter has a much longer way to fall.

@LennethBright@artemis.camp avatar

But Twitter has been massively losing advertisers, and that is what will kill it rather than losing users. Unless Elon goes sunk cost fallacy on us and funds it directly in which case he can keep it alive perpetually.

AlteredStateBlob, to technology in How authoritarian governments are using generative AI

I had this discussion when chatgpt first blew up. The amount of this kind of stuff will increase, but it has always been there and I strongly doubt it will convince anyone who wasn't already convinced.

But with the larger amount they can manage, they will reach a wider willing audience. Russian propaganda has been incredibly effective and if the bottleneck was humans, that was removed or is being removed.

Like we don't already have enough issues.

peter, to technology in The synthetic social network is coming
@peter@feddit.uk avatar

I don’t think so. People still have a need for interaction with a real human and infinite generated content just feels hollow. Sure, it’ll satisfy some people and maybe that’s a good thing but I don’t think it’s going to replace or even barely supplement real social interaction

Corgana,
@Corgana@startrek.website avatar

I don’t think it will on a broad scale, but some percentage of people will fall victim to it. It’s just like how only 1% of mobile gamers pay for anything but the percent that does pays a LOT.

ChrisLicht,

How will anyone know?

BurningnnTree,

I think it will happen. Multiplayer video games already match people with bots that are presented as if they were human players, and 99.9% of players don’t care. As long as a game makes you feel like you’re playing against other humans, most people consider that good enough. Similarly, as long as a bot on Instagram or Twitter feels human enough to be enjoyable to interact with, users won’t care that they aren’t actually human.

GrindingGears,

AKA Single Player mode.

webghost0101,

It depends much on the game, environment, people involved.

Npc ai has come a far way and the thrill of playing live with people is a real competition. And its only just started to get good enough to intimidate social/emotional behavior.

  • massive realistic single player historic events, like battlefields - yay
  • the social aspect of social media and online comments - nah
  • front and helpdesk assistants, maybe even a certified therapist ai - yea
  • friends/family - cant
flamingarms,

I’m with you except for the therapist one. Ain’t no way the AI we have currently or anything even close to what we have now could be a therapist. The human connection is the #1 most important thing in therapy and being a therapist takes way too much contextual understanding.

webghost0101,

Ai we have now, not so much. But in a few generations?

I have experience with quite a few therapists/psychologist/doctors/psychiatrists and the most common issue i find is that many of them are old and all of them carry human biases. Ai is biased like us but i think there is more room to create more objective reasoning.

If I felt like I was forming a “friendship” with one of these artificial personalities, I’d want more control - not in a maniacal way, but because I wouldn’t trust Meta (or whoever) not to say “meh, this isn’t profitable, so we’re shutting it down next month.”

We’re already far too dependent on corporations, but in most cases, they haven’t had the power to emotionally damage us in this specific way. I don’t want to give them that kind of power over me.

Synthead, to news in It's time to change how we cover Elon Musk

This isn’t news. This is an opinion.

quicksand,

Right but it’s relevant to how news is portrayed and what kind of content we think should be posted here. I think it’s a great post to spark that discussion

stopthatgirl7,
@stopthatgirl7@kbin.social avatar

Always, without fail, it is someone who has never posted a single news article that pops in to insist something isn’t “news.”

Post something you consider news, then.

GunnarRunnar, (edited )

If a person complaints about noice noise are you going to tell them to make more noice noise? Makes no sense.

stopthatgirl7,

Do you mean “noise”?

No, I'm talking about the swedish punk rock band.

Well thanks for acknowledging the actual point I was making instead of diving into pedantry (that you accused that person doing themselves).

Yes they did, but be noice about it.

Synthead,
stopthatgirl7,
@stopthatgirl7@kbin.social avatar

They only “response” to their “It’s not news” according to this would be “nuh uh!”, which is less than helpful.

I say to post what they consider need instead because that adds more content to the site, instead of just adding pedantry.

ObviouslyNotBanana,
@ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world avatar

It is, factually, an opinion piece and not a news article.

kitonthenet,

Treating commentary (and analysis) on news as separate and apart from news is how we got the coverage of musk we get.

kitonthenet, to news in It's time to change how we cover Elon Musk

Thank god someone is saying it, it’s the same mistake they made with trump

traveler01, to news in It's time to change how we cover Elon Musk

He baits the press and they always byte it. Guy doesn’t really need to spend much on marketing for his products since due to the fact the press (even Lemmy) hate him, he always get free marketing.

Look at the bright X sign. He put it there, they forced him to remove it, a fine was paid of about $4k. During that time the press wouldn’t shut up about the sign. We’re speaking about Reuters level media giving him free marketing. Even Lemmy didn’t shut up about it. He got millions of dollars in free marketing with the stunt, and this is just one example.

I’m guessing he purposely is fucking up things to show on media, he made a rebrand from Twitter to X without spending a dime on marketing.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I know there is the old adage of all publicity is good publicity, but he’s only getting negative publicity right now and it appears to not be helping him, especially not on Twitter, which is still hemorrhaging users and advertisers. Tesla’s stock is down and their CFO just quit. Neuralink is getting investigated by the feds. And now he wants to look like an idiot by getting into a cage match with a BJJ blackbelt who’s much younger and fitter than him.

I don’t see a downside to playing all that up. He has more money than he will ever be able to spend. The only way to hurt him is to humiliate him.

traveler01,

which is still hemorrhaging users and advertisers

According to him and some other data I found that’s not true. Advertisers got a bit spooked, but they’re now coming back. Apple TV even released a full episode on Twitter in order to advertise a new show.

Tesla’s stock is down and their CFO just quit

Don’t see any relation to the matter, people quit and change jobs all the time.

Neuralink is getting investigated by the feds Good.

BJJ blackbelt who’s much younger and fitter than him

You mean Mark Zuckerberg?

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Yes. Mark Zuckerberg is pretty damn fit, surprisingly. He is a BJJ black belt and has won a bunch of tournaments.

As for Twitter and its advertisers, I have no idea what sort of site that is or what credibility it has, but I’d say a lot less credibility than the BBC. www.bbc.com/news/business-66217641
