@carnage4life the way to handle this dilution of trust in information is to not trust any informationI worry that the next stage in cultural development is that everybody simply doesn’t trust any communication at all from anyone“I didn’t pay my electricity bill because I assumed it must’ve been from GPT and therefore false”

@simon my guess, no, estimate, no, guess, is that the “further training” is basically a stage after the fine tuning which itself is after the training – so a kind of free and user-generated ‘Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback’ (RLHF) stageI’d doubt it contributes to the actual learning of the model, because after all they’re pretrained (the P in Generative Pretrained Transformer) so what they contain is effectively frozen and preset (which I view as a drawback and that must change in the future)For specialised domains, though, you probably don’t need so much wide generalisation as a commercial GPT which contains a phenomenal amount of computer programming know-how training (wtf use is that? Oh yes, the machines can do it all so people don’t have to now) and also quite often an entire multiplicity of other human languages too (which bulks up the token size of the model)

@simon I will add through that I sort of intuitively feel that it might be possible in there somewhere to sort of teach (in a different way, something more like hypnotic suggestion) a Large Language Model to synthesise new knowledge from what it already has, and in doing so add to the knowledge it has and in doing so violate the idea that it is pretrained – who knows, nature finds a way etc

@grammargirl I lasted about 30 seconds in that hostile environment of a website before I backed out again and abandoned my curiosity

@stux this is one of the things my wife and I argue (or usually don’t bother any more) about – my stance is The world is not running out of energy, the world is not running out of resources, the world isn’t skintThere’s plenty of room for anyone who wants to come to anywhere – here in the UK if we let in every person who comes over by small boat, every one of them and more, we’d be enriched more than inconvenienced, we’ve got the room, we’ve got the resources, they’d definitely benefit us by being hereI don’t think any country anywhere in the world at any time ever has had to announce that it is honestly “full up” – that’d be ludicrous and a failure to recognise benefit from the existing or future resources, and it’d be a total lieThe potential of all the humans we have on the world today is less than it could be because of compartmentalisation and barriers, mostly there because of selfish ignorance and distrust and fear – the fear needs to be dissolved, the ignorance needs to be solved, then the world becomes better

@penguin42 For me here in East London, Apple weather app says moderate thunderstorm warning till 21:00 tomorrow (spoiler - not a cloud in the sky at the moment – well, maybe top-level haze actually) and BBC weather app saying sunny with rain likelihoods in the plus/minus teens but with the very high pollen which probably explains why I’ve had a constantly runny nose for the past 3 daysUp until 3 days ago it was thoroughly freezing here, sometimes having to put the heating on inside#weather

@simon this similarity of distance alluded to implies that the TfL tube map is higher dimensional Also when you are on the tube and it’s underground you don’t perceive any turns, it’s as if all journeys in the tunnel are a dead straight line to the destination

@doot He didn’t invent Linux He discovered it – it was naturally occurring in the wild, much like Einstein discovering the apple, apples already existed in nature, he just discovered the apple wavefronts and particles and gravity seeds

@EU_Commission one of the most disappointing range of products in this regard is digital camerasNot only have there been literally no digital cameras that have offered anything significantly new over what there was available in 2019 or so, but of those digital cameras that have been tidied up and placed back on the market in a new box with a slightly different model number, only about two or three have appeared with USB-CSince the pandemic a disappointing amount of the ‘new’ digital cameras still use micro-USB#DigitalCameras #microUSB

@stavvers also, the precise logistics of farting a dick off kind of imply that there’s a biological future unreleased feature that involves being able to queef out of a dick, and really that makes so much more sense than the present version, bearing in mind sharts and the untrustworthiness of farts in general as one gets older – queefing through the dick is just so much more sensible
