ChatGPT is not designed to fool us into thinking it’s a human. It produces language with a specific tone & direct references to the fact it is a language model. I am confident that an LLM trained specifically to speak naturally could do it. It still wouldn’t be intelligent, in my view.

The best place to make new friends is at the urinals. It’s considered polite to strike up a conversation and if nothing else pass a friendly comment on your neighbour’s todger.

The Turing test is flawed, because while it is supposed to test for intelligence it really just tests for a convincing fake. Depending on how you set it up I wouldn’t be surprised if a modern LLM could pass it, at least some of the time. That doesn’t mean they are intelligent, they aren’t, but I don’t think the Turing test is good justification.

For me the only justification you need is that they predict one word (or even letter!) at a time. ChatGPT doesn’t plan a whole sentence out in advance, it works token by token… The input to each prediction is just everything so far, up to the last word. When it starts writing “As…” it has no concept of the fact that it’s going to write “…an AI A language model” until it gets through those words.

Frankly, given that fact it’s amazing that LLMs can be as powerful as they are. They don’t check anything, think about their answer, or even consider how to phrase a sentence. Everything they do comes from predicting the next token… An incredible piece of technology, despite it’s obvious flaws.

LLMs are just predictive text but bigger

It’s amazing what your phone can run, even better if you have a Bluetooth controller.

From the abstract:

Findings on avoidance were mixed, suggesting either that warnings have no effect on engagement with material or that they increased engagement with negative material under specific circumstances.

S24 ultra, I have one for a similar reason, although I also really like a lot of its other features. While you can certainly get good photos with other phones, it is among the best on the market.

I was considering a £500-600 DSLR like I’ve had in the past, but ultimately I like to take photos when an opportunity arises, not just at the times I happen to have my expensive camera on me. If you take a lot of photos but you aren’t a professional, the best thing is a high end phone. Doubly so, because unless you’re very experienced at setting up the camera correctly for the conditions, your phone camera is almost certainly going to do a better job than you would on a manual camera.

So, in the end, rather than getting a cheaper phone and a camera, I combined the two. I know Samsung suck in a lot of ways, but when it comes to actually using my phone, they’re excellent compared to other brands I’ve tried.

I am not surprised that it’s just ChataGPT in a box lol, not at all.

Yeah I don’t know what any of that means so I’m stuck with good ol’ daddy Samsung for now 😂

Sadly not compatible with everything, though. My phone is off the list ☹️

Depends on the size of screen, surely.

Stealing from an individual is deplorable. I can understand why someone might want to respond aggressively (although to be clear I still don’t think it’s justified) if someone steals medication from an old lady… But from a shop?

That might be why the other options are better. Patience is a virtue n all that.

Don’t you basically have to have rich parents to even survive as an intern?

True, true. I think the chances of me doing at least some sort of installation this year are close to 100% lol

I must admit I’m on the edge of jumping ship, even the software which has been keeping me locked to windows is getting less and less appealing.

Lmao “coax”… They just asked it

Ooh, like it pulls out of a little scroll case, and is stiff once it comes out like a tape measure.

Sounds like this is in many cases less that what apple is charging.

Makes absolute sense.
