Watch, next up the Pedo-in-Chief will state that AI (not calling it the stupid ass term dickless made up) needs to be considered people.
You know, like how businesses are considered people now. You see where this is going…
The agreements between OpenAI and Microsoft hinge on “super intelligence” specifically. In exchange for billions in early investment, OAI has to share it’s model tech with MS until ASI is developed.
I wouldn’t be surprised if all this is just a power play, with OAI bribing trump to get off the hook.
Look at it from Trump’s perspective, though. Even a simple markov chain like eliza is super intelligence compared to what’s going on in his brain…
(No, but seriously, this whole SI thing is really just a scam by his handlers to resell Slovenian domains at an inflated price.)
Because it’s both cringe and inferior to the actually correct and already popularized term, Virtual Intelligence.
“Stolen intelligence”
Took everything from everyone without their permission and said “I made this!”
Wanna know the new term I made?
Stolen intelligence.
Pretty good, right?
Now we both pay each other the same huge sum of money and tell everyone about all the revenue and investment we have done.
Hey, I have an idea…
Reality really is more absurd than fiction.
Trump is an absolute moron. No one should listen to anything he says, other than his admissions of crimes committed.
And most especially of something of a technical matter. And no, his “genes” don’t fucking matter, either, LOL. No one gives a flying fuck who his uncle was.
Maybe we could call it “Stupid Intelligence”?
If the LLM was a coworker, they’d be fired for incompetence.
It’s not even called AI. Im certainly not calling in SI.
I refer to them as either “the LLM” or “the robot” at work and boy howdy the AI bros do not like it
I call them chatbots or fancy autocomplete. LLM maybe for the better coding agents, but that’s still being generous. Slopbots for the music, website, and image generators.
I refer to them as G.P. This is a somewhat inside joke for those who were in Ontario and watched Tales of the Riverbank on TVO (aka Hammy Hamster) in the 1960’s and 70’s. Hammy’s friend G.P. was a guinea pig. They’d get up to all sorts of adventures. It wasn’t a cartoon, but filming of real animals in sets with models and with voice dubbing, and a narrator. They obviously put food down where they wanted the animals to go, and I’m pretty sure they glued the paws to steering wheels and the like sometimes. There was also Martha Mouse, who was clearly a white rat. One time the animals … oh, but that’s another story. (That’s how the episodes ended and it was fucking annoying).
Why wouldn’t they? That’s what every AI bro calls them
Many AI bros get mad when you say LLM. I wish it was an easier term to say, honestly. It reminds me of the days when everyone would stumble over saying “www”.
Never heard this before. AI bros are the first to say “clankers” in my experience. You might just know some weirdos
Clankers is usually done as semi-derisive thing, in my experience. 🤷
My point exactly. I think you may just work with some uptight people
I was starting to think it should be called SI, but short for Simulated Intelligence. Its a good description of these tools, which look intelligent but are not truely intelligent.
Then Trump came out with his bullshit.
I know this isn’t the point of the article, but honestly we shouldn’t be using the term “AI” either. By implying that ChatGPT et al are intelligent, even if that’s not our intention, we feed into the hype. I found this article proposing alternative, more accurate terms: https://buttondown.com/maiht3k/archive/how-to-talk-about-ai-without-adding-to-the/
Probabilistic Automation is probably the best term for a majority of what the orange buffoon calls “super intelligence”.
I hate that this went from “we want to detect cancer early” to “steal and monetize everything”.
The tech bros have destroyed the believe everyone had about progress. These days not much people believe more inventions and technology will actually improve our lives.
Yeah, I hate how assholes like donnie are wanting to cash in. So very very much. I remain hopeful about its practical applications in many fields - and they are there, in spite of what many haters say. I hate that the focus seems to be about how many jobs we can “disrupt” or destroy based on stolen works (code, art, books). I’m so very sick of what it’s doing to the IT world in which I work. Instead, it could have been mostly about trying to supercharge scientific and technology endeavors, and mostly that. Instead, the oligarchs seem to be aiming it at stealing the jobs of creatives.
We desperately need someone smart and informed on the matter with a big platform that can split the difference. People like donnie and musk ain’t it but because one is in the WH and the other has too much money, we get to listen to their “thoughts” on the matter.
Good stuff
artificial intelligence → probabilistic automation
hybrid intelligence → augmented human intelligence
image recognition → image labeling
speech recognition → automatic transcription
the model shows bias → the model reflects bias
model mistakes → model errors
chatbots are good at … → chatbots are good for …
hallucination → undesirable output
goal → success condition
The first thing I broach on the topic is that there is no intelligence. It is a language model that uses an algorithm to determine speech and conversation. It is limited to whatever it has scraped from humanity and offers nothing further. Each different LLM has its own predilections and tendencies. Some better than others, but all of it is unintelligent and will confidently tell you a wrong answer. Furthermore, it devolves into hallucinations very quickly. What have I missed or what should I add?
Edit: Article correctly states LLMs should not be anthropomorphized and “hallucination” lends to that. But I feel “undesirable outputs” is too soft even though it does strip the humanity from the LLM.
I think it might make sense to call it “Augmentive Intelligence”, because it is not intelligence on its own. It has major issues when it comes to reasoning on its own, but for someone who actually is intelligent, it can add to that person’s ability to accomplish things. So it augments that person’s intelligence, instead of being an intelligence on its own.
Freedom Fries moment
Why No One Should Use Trump’s Term
Because it’s what Trump wants and he made it up on a whim. The fact that people are even entertaining the idea enough to write articles about it is asinine.
Again: this is a loyalty test to see who all is loyal to Trump.
It’s just marketingspeak from a moron who doesn’t understand the tech, or it’s capabilities.
My understanding is that it’s a willful scam to sell .si domains. Of course that doesn’t mean he came up with it or that he isn’t a moron who doesn’t understand.
He doesn’t have to be smart to own significant blocks of them. Somebody just has to whisper to him that there’s a lot of money to be made.
If lots of people, including powerful people, change what they call something because he told them to, that’s just feeding his ego. That’s all he’s in for at this point. At least this is a grift to also make money off people, I didn’t see any way to profit from changing Lake Ontario’s name, except maybe as a distraction in the media, and again, his ego.
This makes the most sense. No doubt one of his kids came up with the grift, probably Baron.
Call it special intelligence and imply it is mentally deficient.
And here I am still calling A1.
That’s insulting to steak sauce.
I mean, the steak sauce is insulting to steak. Pretty sure it’s actually the perfect name.
