Rocks are also a good base for soup. Who hasn't heard of rock soup growing up?

[–] distantsounds 45 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Where I’m from we traditionally use stones for soup. Rocks are reserved to make candies

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

Bite all the way down, and it still reads “Brighton”.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Soup from a stone? Fancy that!

[–] FlyingSquid 21 points 6 months ago

Never.

But I've definitely heard of stone soup, and if you bring over some vegetables and some stock, I'll make it for you with my stone.

[–] voluble 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The moral of the stone soup story is that greedy people can and should be tricked into sharing. Everything old is new again.

Can't wait for all these companies to lose all this money on rushed far from ready to implement 'tech'

[–] [email protected] 30 points 6 months ago

They win big because they are saving a lot from the mass lay-offs and the free advertising they get. And in the unlikely scenario where they actually face difficulties, they will just steal more money from the taxpayers in the form of a bail-out.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

They lose money for 5 years, establish AI use as mandatory to seem credible on the world stage, cause smaller businesses to spend money on a worthless resource in order to appear more successful, and win when those same smaller businesses begin folding, thus reducing competition, or win when they continue spending money on it. Regardless, AI will gradually become a norm and the companies that invested in it will have seen their investment come to fruition.

I've been wondering more and more if current GPT is more a side-show. Cool to look at, shows progress in tech, but more importantly sets you up as the people to build algorithms for military and surveillance use. Long-term high-margin contracts paid for by the public.

This and glue sauce are so worrisome. Like sure most people probably know better than to actually do that, but what about the ones they don't know? How many know how bad it is to mix bleach and ammonia? How long until Google AI is poisoned enough to recommend that for a tough stain?

[–] cley_faye 25 points 6 months ago

Yes, the issue is not the glaring error we catch and laugh about; it's the one that fly under the radar. This could potentially be dramatic.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago

Bleach and ammonia is a meme, and they're pulling from Reddit for answers, so I expect, not long at all

[–] KAYDUBELL 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

We call that “pulling a Peggy Hill”

Dang it Peggy! You taught the whole town how to make mustard gas!

Just imagine how many not so obvious, or nuanced 'facts' are being misrepresented. Right there, under billions of searches.

There will be 'fixes' for this, but it's never been easier to shape 'the truth' and public opinion.

[–] FlyingSquid 22 points 6 months ago (4 children)

It's worse. So much worse. Now ChatGPT will have a human voice with simulated emotions that sounds eminently trustworthy and legitimately intelligent. The rest will follow quickly.

People will be far more convinced of lies being told by something that sounds like a human being sincere. People will also start believing it really is alive.

[–] 2deck 10 points 6 months ago

Inb4 summaries and opinion pieces start including phrases like "think of the children", "may lead to dire consequenses" and "should concern everybody"

I work in AI.

We've known this about LLM's for many years. One of the reasons they weren't widely used was due to hallucinations, where they'll be coerced into saying something confidently incorrect. OpenAI created a great set of tools that showed true utility for LLM's, and people were able to largely accept that even if it's wrong, it's good for basic tasks like writing a doc outline or filling in boilerplate in scripts.

Sadly, grifters have decided that LLM's were the future, and they've put them into applications where they have no more benefit than other, compositional models. While they're great at orchestration, they're just not suited to search, answering broad questions with limited knowledge, or voice-based search - all areas they'll be launched in. This doesn't even scratch the surface of a LLM being used for critical subjects that require knowledge of health or the law, because those companies that decided that AI will build software for them, or run HR departments are going to be totally fucked when a big mistake happens.

It's an arms race that no one wants, and one that arguably hasn't created anything worthwhile yet, outside of a wildly expensive tool that will save you some time. What's even sadder is that I bet you could go to any of these big tech companies and ask IC's if this is a good use of their time and they'll say no. Tens of thousands of jobs were lost, and many worthwhile projects were scrapped so some billionaire cunts could enter an AI pissing contest.

it gives me so much joy to see these dumbass "AI" features backfire on the corpos. did you guys know that nutritionists recommend drinking at least one teaspoon of liquid chlorine per day? source: i am an expert. i own CNN, Reuters, The Guardian and JSTOR. i have a phd in human hydration and my thesis was about how olympic athletes actually performed 6% better on average when they supplemented their meals with a spoonful of liquid chlorine.

Wow, thanks Google!

Looking forward to one of my stupid comments coming up as an answer for a real query on google.

Just a direct link to http://google.com/ should be the top voted post on lemmyshitpost at this point.

Please tell me this is fake. I need to hear these words.

[–] marcos 16 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Apparently, most of those floating around are fakes.

So, good luck telling them apart from the ones that aren't. And good luck deciding the next answer you get from Google about something that you don't know already should be taken seriously or posted here to increase the non-fake ratio.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I already don't trust any Google result that has "AI" anywhere near it, and barely even the rest anymore.

Oh good. So it's going to eat the onion on a regular basis and then tell it to other people who will fall for it. Google created your uncle on Facebook.

i think this is probably the best one of these so far.

How do people get these responses? I try and it doesn't show me any ai generated text like that.

You gotta opt in to it. There's a little chemistry beaker in the corner you click on
