Because physically speaking, chaotic and unpredictable are two different things - and why it works so well on this case: it’s becoming a stochastic problem, not a deterministic one.
It’s an awesome area for machine learning: you didn’t need to understand the result and how it got created, it just needs to be “close enough”.
Oh I completely agree with that, just the jump to “a flawed model leaked” is too far. There’s already enough crap to mock, no need to make up additional stuff.
It’s bullshit. What leaked was their commandline tool source code (named “claude code”) - very juicy in itself but has nothing to do with their models.
If you are truly serious: this is not how hallucinations work. It’s really best to think of it as “fancy auto complete”. The hallucinations happen when the next token is too disconnected from what we as humans would call as “belonging together”. But it’s all math after all.
Limit the k value, tube down temperature and cut off context size and the issue of hallucinations is a non-topic for “transcribe and summarize”.
You get into what I’d call “stupid” territory like you’re describing.
Your second point I fully agree with and is the reason why I’d ask the doc directly. To give the personal anecdote: the transcript itself helps me to focus on exactly the topics you’ve described: who’s confused? Where was agreement? Where did people just not speak up?
A specific hallucination example I see every other day for example are tasks: that thing “thinks” that “we should” or “you must” are always tasks and outcomes which is utter bullshit - but I know that and using the transcript part helps me focus on the important part, the humans.
Counter top the popular opinion here for me it would be a clear yes in the situation you’re describing.
The relationship with my direction doc is more believable to me than principles of vague bad feelings for me.
Now taking and transcripts specifically are one of the use cases I also draw value out myself. I’d ask the doc though how they’re using it.
Still I’d rather have my transcript public than to go on that search for a doctor match again.
I’m too disconnected to be knowledgeable enough to recommend or discourage alternatives, just want to note that one has to educate themselves on what is right - your key words will help with that for sure! For example: Just from looking up DoxyPEP: That’s an antibiotic based product and would be useless against HIV. But might be good at reducing the risk of syphilis and other nasty bacterial bullshit.
The other thing where I absolutely agree with you is the issue of the stigma: It must not be a taboo to enjoy oneself, explore own sexuality and be self confident into oneself as a full, human being with whatever sexuality floats ones boat.
That’s why I’m so happy about OP asking even though it’s a shitty situation: I’m sure jt will help some passive reader to realize something about their own sexuality and that’s an awesome thing!
In short: Thank you :)
Edit: sorry for the reply spam I got an error message about posting but it seemed to got through anyway.
To support what others have said: even precum can get you pregnant.
It’s not that “pull out is a tad unreliable” - it is horrible and the failure quota is ridiculously high. And that’s only pregnancy, not even considering the whole disease fun you’re signing up for. With a bit of bad luck that’s a lifetime of annoying medication, no a few weeks.
This means from my point of fire in order of urgency:
A) First of all: stranger, feel loved 🤗 I find it awesome that you have he courage to ask this question!
B) get plan B. It’ll suck if you’re reacting but that’s only a week or two.
C) Review your sexual habits: if you’re into spontaneous drunk sex figure out a reliable protection that you don’t have to think too much about. If it’s with strangers there’s no way around a condom in addition if you don’t want to take something for your hepathitis or HIV for the rest of your life. If it’s people you know and trust then something “just” against pregnancy is enough. If it’s a mix of both I suggest getting a baseline protection that you don’t have to think about in the heat of the moment and condoms as preventative plan B for the cases where you’re not too sure.
It sounds like a cliche but it’s true: The more the dude resists protection the more you’ll need it. After all it will be you who’ll be alone with the consequences. You’re worth more than a few fun moments for some dick!
That’s my problem: any single word humanizes the tool in my opinion. Iperhaps something like “stochastic debris” comes close but there’s no chance to counter the common force of pop culture, Corp speak a and humanities talent to see humanoid behavior everywhere but each other. :(
Accepting concepts like “right” and “wrong” gives those tools way too much credit, basically following the AI narrative of the corporations behind them. They can only be used about the output but not the tool itself.
To be precise:
LLMs can’t be right or wrong because the way they work has no link to any reality - it’s stochastics, not evaluation. I also don’t like the term halluzination for the same reason. It’s simply a too high temperature setting jumping into a closeby but unrelated vector set.
Why this is an important distinction: Arguing that an LLM is wrong is arguing on the ground of ChatGPT and the likes: It’s then a “oh but wen make them better!” And their marketing departments overjoy.
To take your calculator analogy: like these tools do have floating point errors which are inherent to those tools wrong outputs are a dore part of LLMs.
We can minimize that but then they automatically use part of their function. This limitation is way stronger on LLMs than limiting a calculator to 16 digits after the comma though…
Yeah this is beyond ridiculous to blame anything or anyone else.
I mean accidently letting lose an autonomous non-tested non-guarailed tool in my dev environment… Well tough luck, shit, something for a good post mortem to learn from.
Having an infrastructure that allowed a single actor to cause this damage? This shouldn’t even be possible for a malicious human from within the system this easily.
That’s an utterly ignorant statement.
To expect others, often volunteer, to take such a personal risk because the legislation in one part of the world is utterly fucked. How about expecting the people who actually live in the country and state and have a chance to influence those laws to step up their game instead of trying to tell third parties to take individual and personal consequence.
They outline the issues from their perspective.
What else should they do? Break their own licence model (which prohibits (geographic) discrimination) or break the law? It’s either one of those two or comply.
Haha I feel you!
Perhaps try to be a bit less extreme in your language in front of your parents - or offer them a bet: if a CO2 monitor is yellow or red at the evening they pay for it and you can air whenever it’s getting yellow. If it stays green you pay for it and shut up about the windows!
Your parents are right in terms of energy waste, im sorry to say.
I’m quite similar though and air about five times a day but with a timer so that the air gets circulated completely without cooling out the house itself.
The breathing struggle is most likely a mix of dust sensitivity and psychology. For me an air cleaner made a huge difference in my comfort level.
I’d you want to go the scientific approach get a CO2 monitor (the most important element for brain performance when talking about home air) and a PM2.5 sensor for dust levels.
Then there would still be the possibility for someone to take off the glasses.
Or invent spectrometers.
Or make others curious.
I’d claim that our issue is too much belief and not a lack thereof. Beliefs remove the potential for excourse y for discussions and for admission of being wrong. Believing is the act of removing an item from analysis, from critique and in its final form from thinking about it.
Perhaps I’m misunderstanding you - if that’s the case please apologize.
I don’t get it with the body either. No we are not insane as a species and if only because insanity is defined on what we as collective see as normal. But what is “deep history”? And people don’t get send to a doctor just because they believe in fairytales, at least where I live.
Humans seem to have an inert need to have answers and guessing one seems to be better than “I don’t know” for many.
Which are all of them who claim to hear a difference.
In case you wanna give it a shot: I gave writing samples of myself from chat and emails to a self hosted LLM, telling it to extract the writing style deviations, key elements, common phrases, symbols, patterns, etc. Then gave that as a “answer it this style” system prompt expansion - works like … Quite okay. Still need to go over it or course but it doesn’t sound like marketing bullshit but conveys what I want.
Completely agree with your general assessment though! They’re getting better but the marketing machinery is crazy in their claims.
