@paninid fast forward to the present and scientists who barely study #philosophy label #metaphysics as #pseudoscience (forgetting what #PhD means), torment #logic for the benefit of "elegant" #math equations (e.g. antimatter, dark #matter), and design #AI #systems that weaponize #ethics as justification for #information #censorship (#ChatGPT "knows" but refuses to answer how to a hot wire a car or commit murder while claiming no #opinion, ignorant that words and actions are different)

Can’t escape the slop

I disabled #AI assist on #DuckDuckGo, but even when I do, I still get a bunch of search results that point me to 100% AI-generated web pages. Nowadays anyone can just fuzz search engines like #Google for lists of commonly searched queries, then generate slop responses to these queries, then cache the slop, and then use shady SEO techniques to get these slop pages to show up at the top of search results. And this is what I have been getting from a lot of my web searches lately, content from slop shops.

A part of me thinks companies like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon may themselves be investing in these shady slop shops to deliberately make traditional search engines useless, which would “incentivize” people to use #LLM -based AI like Gemini or #ChatGPT more often, though that is purely speculation on my part.

If you had asked my 20 years ago that the #Internet of the future would rapidly devolve and become increasingly useless as time went on, I would have dismissed you as a paranoid crackpot. Here we are in the future and I still can hardly believe how shitty technology is becoming.

Do you think at some point in the near future you will be able to buy off the shelf #AI servers for home use that deploy as easily as a home-security NVR and have local voice control satellites / speakers / sensors (for example as easily as Reolink home security systems) effectively giving you the same power as #chatgpt / #alexa / #siri etc but totally local to your home? I feel like something like this could be the next big evolution for #HomeAssistant

I've noticed I'm becoming more impatient when using ChatGPT. Problems where it doesn't have good enough data, it seems to do such a wild solutions and driving me to a rabbit holes.

Right now, I'm trying to implement Bluetooth pairing from scratch and create a C1 function to calculate the confirm value. It seems to understand what I'm trying to do, but in the end, I still have to read the whole spec to get this done because it just creates broken code and tests.

Vibey (Worker) comparison
between #o4 #Chatgpt and #Claude Sonnet 3.7

So recently I got a new CC and had difficulty getting it in #Antrophic. Because I have grown reliant on the PRO model in my daily. I paid the #AI tax to #OpenAI.

Here is my experience.

1. I'll restate this because it needs restating. The free models are dumber. The only meaningful assessment can come from the pay-for model.

2. AI moves at breakneck speed a month in AI is worth at least 6 elsewhere. Would you believe there are still 6-finger jokes floating around, even though current pro Gens done that for a year+.

3. The new ChatGpt model definitely seems smarter.
It seems to unnecessarily burn compute though, offering multiple solutions to issues.
I liked how it quickly adapted it's persona to my work style.

4. I like the new "vibe coding" refactoring, where it will go line by line through the code changing it. Very SciFi.

5. The new Pro sub for OpenAi comes with Gen subs (value+) so you can create images (Anthropic doesn't have that).
Also #Sora sub so you can make 10s videos, if you have seen Sora videos, they are mind-blowing.

7. It has another model called "Monday" which just works like an asshole prompt. Another proof that most users still have a lot of ground to cover in #promptengineering

Overall, I think PRO ChatGpt is slightly better than Claude, though I have gotten used to Claude.

#Trump and #Musk and AI, oh my?

From my favorite historian pundit, Z:

… no serious economist is going to endorse [Trump's] approach to tariffs. No unserious one, either, probably. So, where did the White House come up with this formula? Well, if you put the phrase "balance bilateral trade deficits" into AI engines, the administration's approach (or some close approximation) is what you get. That is the case with ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, and Claude. If you put the phrase into Grok, you get the EXACT formula the White House used. In other news, Grok is the AI platform owned by... Elon Musk.

Guess you don't need the terminator to destroy the world. Simple AI is enough.

Scroll down to "Fuzzy Math" at this link, but the whole 4,000 word article will clear up the whole muddy mess.

Guy runs an experiment to see Just how easy is it to wrangle from GPT that which is very clearly someone else’s IP… Results are interesting, it’s not hard turns out. Some guardrails do exist for very recognizable characters, but that has not prevented LLMs from returning copyrighted IP on image prompts. Or from stealing studio-specific styles, characters and designs for memes - which has led to ‘Ghiblifying’ everything. #StudioGhibli #LLM #LLMs #Image #copyright #IP #AI #ChatGPT #ImagePrompts #AIImage #AIImages #legal
