What a terrible fucking headline. Even if they kept a record of every single interaction on hand for the chatbot to reference (which is preposterous), the notion that it could reiterate it verbatim to a degree that is sufficient to hold up as evidence of anything is ludicrous. It’s also wildly inaccurate to the actual story. Bad job all around.
Inb4 he’s just another right-wing ragebaiter.
Remarkably similar to this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALKTM7OzdMQ
I wonder if one inspired the other.
The thing with Starfield is that it was much bigger than Skyrim, since it encompasses multiple star systems. And, from my point of view, it felt like they just stretched out the “budget” allowed by the engine, which consequently makes it feel much emptier by comparison. It’s certainly not the only issue with the game, though. The whole things was a pretty big whiff for a studio like Bethesda.
Where did I say anything about loading screens? Design choices are predicated on what the engine can handle, and they were working with a 12 year old engine at that point, leading to all the issues you pointed out. With a new engine, they (ideally) would be able to handle a more diverse and interesting setting, but they thought Skyrim: In Space would be good enough.
Imo, the engine is what held back Starfield the most. I was hoping they were taking this time to come up with a new, modernised engine instead of just revamping the old one again. Maybe it’ll be worthwhile, but I’m sceptical.
Not interested personally, but guessing at the plot, maybe this will instill some much needed distrust of big-tech in some kids. That wouldn’t be terrible.
Fyi, you can have a psuedo-subscribe list on NP, even without an account.
It’s uncanny.
I appreciate that, thank you.
I didn’t embed it in purpose. I’d also appreciate it if you edited yours, because now it’s muddying up my inbox.
The irony here being
She’s actually not into him. Though it’s not so much a “joke” as it is “homicidal theft”.
Actual AI would be more than “just math”, but LLMs aren’t AI, so the comparison is moot.
Now we’ve built a collection of simulated neurons, at a scale close to that of the human brain, and trained it on the entirety of the human language
We are not even close to anything of the sort. We’ve got a probability machine that’s mostly decent at previous collections of human language. The other two are much farther down the road (if they’re even possible) than you or the rest of the tech bros are trying to convince everyone else of.
Though commonly reported, Google doesn’t consider it a security problem when models make things up
To be clear, all llms “make things up” with every use - that’s their singular function. We need to stop imparting any level of sentience or knowledge onto these programs. At best, it’s a waste of time. At worst, it will get somebody killed.
Also, querying the program on why it fabricated something as if it won’t fabricate that answer as well is peak ignorance. “Surely it will output factual information this time!”
It’s distressing that a non-zero amount of medical professionals will use this without disclosure or consent.
And yet here you are, acting like one. “Phones bad. Kids dumb. My generation’s better.”
Interesting. That D20 marathon is gonna last like, a month, hah.
A huge piece of shit in almost every respect, but the character had his moments of poignancy.
