Yea I think this is exactly the split between whether this is funny, or f’d up. Is the dishwasher running?

Yea, was thinking the same. Like, can’t blame them, this has literally been the concept of music videos for 70 years, but it’d be fun to hear what they actually sound like live.

In movies, CPR saves lives 90% of the time. In reality, it’s less than 10%. So glad your dad survived, and please go give him a hug.

Ummmm, any decent economist from academia would argue Karl Marx was an economist more than anything else.

Thaler, Kahneman, Tversky, also pretty much anyone from LSE, would argue that. There’s a bunch that align with what you’re saying, but a bunch that don’t.

Dude the field is over 50 years old, and explains so much about why we’re in the fucked up placewe are.

CSAR. Combat Search and Rescue. He was saying this was a prayer used by the combat search and rescue crews, which knowing aviators, might actually be true.

AI literally functions by recognizing patterns that humans can’t even see. If anything, that’s it’s current biggest issue. It is so good at finding patterns that we don’t understand, that when it does get it wrong, we don’t always have a good way of knowing.

I think your biggest misunderstanding is your belief that neural networks aren’t used by the popular LLMs. If you knew they were, would your beliefs change?

New ideas are discovered through the observation of patterns. Sometimes, it’s through recognizing a new pattern, based on observations. Other times, it’s applying an observed pattern to create a new output. If a new idea didn’t connect to a pattern in some way, then it’s just random. And AI can do that too.

LLMs are massive neural networks… you seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding of how modern AI works, or what these terms actually mean. Before making guesses and publicizing ill-informed viewpoints, please just take a second and read about it. Google. Wikipedia. Popular Mechanics. Anything. Just look up ‘do LLMs use neural networks’ on the research platform of your choice, and then ask yourself if your statement above makes any sense.

So, I would argue humans recognize patterns waaaay more than they recognize the why. Look at pretty much how people treated the sick before they understood germ theory. Or look at superstitions. Or how religions form. Our minds are really just pattern-recognizing machines. Understanding the ‘why’ of something is really just the ability to understand an additional framework of patterns.

Again, this is incorrect. This is how AI functioned decades ago, when it wasn’t very capable. Now, it uses neural networks to identify patterns and concepts. When you learned to talk, you learned the pattern of a wav frequency's associated meaning to human behavior, and stored that relationship through a configuration of neurons and synapses, which is a much more similar model to how AI ‘thinks’ today.

Sorry, but this is fundamentally incorrect. What you’re describing is called a Markov Chain, which is a decades-old approach. Modern AI relies on deep neural networks that "understand" the structural and semantic meaning of code and language, even if that understanding is represented through complex math rather than human consciousness.

You can downvote me all you want, but if you do, at least let me know why you think learning isn’t understanding patterns.

Ummm… understanding patterns is literally the definition of learning.

Agree that the Billionaire team owners are the source of so much that is wrong. But… I don’t think paying professional athletes more money will fix any pressing issues in our society.

Technically, since GDP is rising at a rate greater than population growth, it is improving for the average person. But it’s getting worse for the MEDIAN person, the majority of citizens. (Semantic argument, things are bad.)

Dude, you’re almost there. These people were absolutely being exploited- but the lack of exploitation isn’t what’s causing the degradation of services today. It’s the consolidation of wealth. 50 years ago, labor was being exploited, but customers were getting decent service. Today, labor is still exploited, but customers are getting worse service, and a tiny few are getting much richer instead.

Out of all the things going on in this country- this actually isn’t the worst. The naming is horrible, but this is just giving parents the ability to put their credit card rewards into a savings account for their kids.
