> And this right here is why its so frustrating to me that the term "AI" is used for LLMs. They are impressive for certain tasks, but they are nothing close to artificial intelligence and were never designed to be.

We've had the debate if animals were self-aware in the first place, some seem to be based on studies, some don't. But all animals have intelligence, and the ability to problem solve to different degrees, and they most certainly learn based on experience and evolution.

Artificial Intelligence means intelligence that was created artificially, how intelligent and whether or not it is self-aware (it's not), is a different debate from "it's not intelligence".

ChatGPT put it best itself:

> Yes, I possess artificial intelligence, which enables me to process information, answer questions, solve problems, and engage in conversations. However, my intelligence is based on patterns and data, not personal experience or consciousness. Let me know how I can assist you!

AI isn't Skynet, Wintermute or HAL 9000, those are fictional and are what we dubbed ASI (Super), not AGI (General) or ANI (Narrow), ASI is self-aware, the others are simple intelligence that can either do one thing, or multiple things to different degrees of quality comparatively to humans (not always better, not always worse).

So yes, LLMs have intelligence, and you can claim the same for other software. Whether or not they're equal to or superior to humans is irrelevant since animals are inferior to us in intelligence to different degrees.

At the end of the day Intelligence can mean different things to different people, so I can't just outright tell you that you're right or wrong, I can only express my viewpoint and why I think LLMs as well as some other software are AIs.

EDIT: Should also note that words take on different meanings, and AI is an easy buzzword to use for the general public, so the word took on extra meaning, and it did so decades ago. We've been calling NPCs in video games AI for decades. There's likely other examples that don't come to mind where AI has been used far longer than LLMs.
Your point…?
The elitism is rampant. As an embedded sector guy everyone thinks every other RTOS isn't a real RTOS and the knowledge and wisdom don't translate.

Every time I find some open source I would contribute to, what I wanted to implement is already there or is already in the works. I'm not going to change shit just to change it. I'll buy them a coffee tip and leave.
What a clean and simple (to the user) product. Love it.
The legacy was huge for me. As a kid I would type BASIC into our TI “computer” that hooked up to our only TV. I was labeling cables hoping no one would cut the power. We had no disc drive to save what I typed.

Then years later as a college freshman during the dot com boom I got my first job writing VB. Literally changed my life and put me on a path where I was able to be better off than my parents.
Then shouldn't free apps also be free for the developers to make? Sure, users should have a choice, but now it's apple who has both choice and the 30% ransom.
I don't think money changes any of the toxic behaviors that emerge from social media. Every social site I've been on, money or not, has featured:

* Exaggerated high-intensity language intended to rant or show indignation

* Low effort posting chasing some form of in-network metacurrency (upvotes, likes, replies, etc.)

* Argumentative conversation threads that devolve because the participants just start shouting at each other.

* Angry rumors that get amplified that have dubious or no basis in reality. The rumors generally prey on some pre-existing anger in the community.

* General misinformation amplification because most folks on social don't have the bandwidth to verify facts.

I've seen these on Usenet, on forums, and all of these things happen on Mastodon despite none of these networks having money tied into them. My feeling is that these behaviors happen on all text-based networks (and many media-based networks, but I think those are different) that humans socialize on. Moderation and filtration is probably the best way to clamp down on this behavior.
I think a public short message service like X / Bluesky / etc.. is the one area where I absolutely could care less if AI is trained on it lol.
I don't agree. This is basically an elaborate form of statistical process control, which has been proving itself useful and effective for nearly a century. We can quibble about the thresholds and false positive rates, but I think the idea of automating regression detection is perfectly sound.
I think the context is important in the question. I’d argue that a system design question is optimally answered differently depending on the size of the company and the scope of the internal tech stack.

Doing more of the design up front is important in a big tech environment almost all the time because:

a) many different possible infrastructure (eg. databases) are already at your fingertips, so the operational cost to using a new one is a lot lower. Also, cross-organisation standardisation is usually more important than this marginal extra local operational cost.

b) scale makes a big difference. Usually good system design questions are explicit about the scale. It is a bit different to systems where the growth might be more organic.

c) iteration is probably way more expensive for production facing systems than in a smaller company, because everything is behind gradual rollouts (both manual and automated) and migration can be pretty involved. E.g. changing anything at all will take 1 week minimum and usually more. That’s not to say there is no iteration, but it is usually a result of an external stimulus (scale change, new feature, unmodelled dependency etc), rather than iteration towards an MVP.

Now, a lot of this is pretty implicit and it is hard to understand the environment unless you’ve worked in a different company of the same scale. But just wanted to point out that there is a reason that it is the way it is.

And that might be hurting you in the long run. ¯ \ _ ( ツ ) _ / ¯
Seems like i have it in my browsing history, i remember not being able to run the executable it produced, not being able to find a library it was supposed to have. This was just using the default "pyinstaller your_program.py", and i was frustrated enough to not go deeper into why that was. Will definitely give it a try again in the future
Did you also post this in another comment recently (yesterday?)
Fascinating reading the comments to see some people say it works flawlessly and others say it's terrible and jittery.

I'm wondering if it's lighting conditions? Bright light will allow the phone to read your eye position far more accurately than the noisy pixels in a dark room.

Or did Apple do a big upgrade to their front camera recently that accounts for the difference?
This is certainly aimed at illustrators and artists flocking from X to Bluesky, not people microblogging.
It only shows that you have no clue how EU and it's institutions works, how they are chosen (and elected) and why it was done this way :D yes, it's a huge compromise to satisfy both direct democracy via PE and member state governments. What's more, the actual composition of the government in most of the countries is not elected either (you as a populace don't vote who would be your prime minister, nor it's cabinet... or who will new president nominate)
actually our slogan is "the company is a future adversary"
Even that is relevant, because it would mean the measurement is now wrong.
Chess might not be a great example, given that most people interested in analyzing chess moves probably know that chess engines exist. But it's easy to find examples where this approach would be very helpful.

If I'm an undergrad doing a math assignment and want to check an answer, I may have no idea that symbolic algebra tools exist or how to use them. But if an all-purpose LLM gets a screenshot of a math equation and knows that its best option is to pass it along to one of those tools, that's valuable to me even if it isn't valuable to a mathematician who would have just cut out of the LLM middle-man and gone straight to the solver.

There are probably a billion examples like this. I'd imagine lots of people are clueless that software exists which can help them with some problem they have, so an LLM would be helpful for discovery even if it's just acting as a pass-through.
I think the wider point is that, yes, it takes a bit of access to money to be $150k in debt, but when you've got a choice of selling labour-saving stuff to individuals who aren't in work or an adjacent market composed of firms whose hourly rates mean they save the $120 annual subscription cost in about ten minutes...
If you're going to transmit energy it is easier to do it in the time domain than over a distance. MISO does not seem to report storage resources, so maybe they are only just getting started in terms of time shifting.
When did banks offer services on Minitel? https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minitel suggests a demonstration version was available in 1980

> À l'automne 1980, 2 500 foyers volontaires de Versailles, Vélizy-Villacoublay, Jouy-en-Josas, Buc, Bièvres et Les Loges-en-Josas reçoivent un terminal Vidéotex. Du côté des services, près de 200 fournisseurs participent à l'expérience, se donnant ainsi l'occasion de tester ce nouveau moyen de communication auprès du public. Les services remportant la plus large adhésion seront les annuaires téléphoniques pages blanches et pages jaunes (services gratuits), la presse, la vente par correspondance, la SNCF, les banques ainsi que la messagerie.

but https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-18610692 says commercial roll-out wasn't until at after 1982:

> Rolled out experimentally in Brittany, Minitel went national in 1982, offering the telephone directory and not much else.

> Gradually the offer increased to a vast array of services - banking, stock prices, weather reports, travel reservations, exam results, university applications, as well as access points to various bits of the state administration.
> Other companies could still potentially scrape your Bluesky posts for training. Bluesky’s robots.txt doesn’t exclude crawlers from Google, OpenAI, or others, meaning those companies may crawl Bluesky data. “Bluesky is an open and public social network, much like websites on the Internet itself,” spokesperson Emily Liu tells The Verge. “Just as robots.txt files don’t always prevent outside companies from crawling those sites, the same applies here. That said, we’d like to do our part to ensure that outside orgs respect user consent and are actively discussing within the team on how to achieve this.”

They can't and they fully admit that.
We would love to read your dissertation if you don't mind sharing.

Edit: Thank you for sharing! Looking forward to reading it.

I think the confusion arises because of the difference between optimization and control, which are superficially similar.

Having control lets you see if things changed. Optimization is changing things.

This team seems to be focused on control. I assume optimization is left to the service teams.
When is the last time you’ve been trying to get help from another team, only to realize that the engineer you are talking to can’t write code, even with the AI help?

Curious to how long the frozen structure can "survive". I wonder if it's a good idea to freeze one such frog and thaw it centuries later (an amphibian time-traveler!)
