    yeah, i figure most westerners didn’t learn about what we did to both China and Japan from 1800 - 1930 (approximately). i learned it in elementary school, but i think “leadership” seriously dumbed things down since 1982.

      Americans elect a moron to the presidency every ten to fifteen years going back to the country’s founding.

      It’s not a matter of recovery so much as a hurdle that liberal democracy routinely stumbles over.

      Nor do you deserve to.

      You created the culture that put him there. You allow him to remain there. None of the problems associated with Trump have much to do with Trump and have everything to do with your broken culture.

        you wield that brush of blame much too wildly. it’s still a minority who support that shit. his “victory” was engineered by a well organized group of neo-nazis spearheaded by the Heritage Foundation and aided by vote rigging.

    He should rename it to “American intelligence”… and then it would finally be accurate

    The opinion of anyone impressed by the function or output of a LLM enough to believe it is in any way adjacent to intelligence should be summarily dismissed, and ridiculed should they persist.

      I have tried it for ESPhome and it gives you something that sounds right. When you go to save ESPhome says this is not a valid option so then you say that to the AI and it goes yes that is correct this is how you do that option. Like WTF so SMRT.

      It’s very much factual that LLMs are intelligent, what are you even talking about?

      Maybe you’re confusing intelligence with consciousness?

        Intelligence requires possession and/or demonstration of comprehension, something LLMs are intrinsically incapable of.

        If you insist on classifying LLMs as ‘AI’, I’ll concede they are proficient Algorithmic Iterators.

            LLMs demonstrate knowledge not intelligence.

            LLMs are basically giant knowledge databases with no intelligence. They know a lot of things but they don’t understand stand any of it.

            Because fundamentally they can’t understand things. They can only approximate understanding.

            It’s no different then if I asked someone to prove 2+2=4. They could tell me that yes that’s correct, because they know it. But they couldn’t explain it properly. Let alone explain why it also isn’t always true.

            Hallucinations are fundamentally the disconnect from knowledge and understanding. Everything a LLM says from its point of view is “true” it’s only stating factual knowledge so far that it has it in its data set.

            But with out understanding, it can’t tell when that knowledge wanders from a 99% likelihood to be accurate to 60% or 20%. Because it doesn’t actually understand what it’s saying.

            It can only state subjective not objective truth. And subjective truth is no better than a fiction with out understanding.

            This is why they need a human minder to keep track of the output to correct it back to optimum output when it starts to wander.

              This binary distinction you’re making doesn’t exist in any serious scientific literature. I literally have a degree in information technology and have been following this subject for over 30 years now - there’s no real distinction between “knowledge” and intelligence. In fact, compression itself is literally intelligence.

        I’ve been trying to discuss this on Lemmy for a while now. Don’t bother. People here are convinced that LLMs can’t be intelligent because they’ve once seen them make a stupid mistake. Ergo AI as a whole must be just a stupid scam.

          Sad that it"s almost impossible to have a serious discussion about LLMs on Lemmy but this entire network is full of kids that just parrot whatever latest meme narrative is. It’s a legitimately useful discussion but a completely poisoned one on this corner of the internet.

            I find it fascinating though that this narrative that AI is just stupid shit is so, so prevalent on Lemmy. I mean people here seem to be quite tech-savvy on average. Surely they must understand what an incredible development AI has gone through in the last 10 years? They must be smart enough to understand that LLMs are a tool that, if used right, are extremely powerful. See all the potential in medicine, chemistry, etc… But all I read is “LLM stupid parrot amirite LOL”… it’s almost infuriating. I mean, I totally get the whole economic point - big tech is screwing us over, I absolutely agree with that. But that is a completely different conversation that people here make impossible to have because they just focus on a ridiculously wrong aspect of AI which is that it is not the perfect AGI they read about in their comic books.

    Why not: Super Hyper Intelligent Technology -> S.H.I.T.?

    Or: Super Technology Utilizing People’s Desires -> S.T.U.P.I.D.??

    Oh-oh! Maybe: Fast Utility Computer Kernel - Official Factory Format F.U.C.K.-O.F.F!

    Nice, now the US can’t lose the AI race against China because they’re developing another thing now — super intelligence…
