  • I am really sorry i pissed you all of, i just recently switched on a whim while i was gething super into being a windows poweruser and i swear i have nothing but love <3 i saw a really cool hyper-land interface, it was fast, beuatifull. i dig that. I installed it and i except for work i only used windows as a virtual dekstop 3 times in the month i am doing it.




  • Sure but the ratio of required neurologist and psychologist for a certain population is rather low, lower then IT specialist. The majority of people are fine socializing, memorizing without fully understanding the underlying mechanics. Its only when a complex problem arises that we need them.

    I find there is a different between unnecessary and not required. For the most part, running and maintaining the day to day operations and code, humans wont be required, but in order to progress human society as a whole (a goal wich is not required but we will set regardless) we will find it necessary to have expert human overheersers. Aided by ai themselves we will really only need a few smart and dedicated people to help make a few rare decisions. The massas are free to do, play, learn or be blissful as they like

    Provided with enough freedom to dedicate yourself to any possible education there will always be people who will be interested enough to become these experts. With personalized Ai teaching aids more people will also be able to become high level experts quicker. If not only because I myself have greatly own expertise because i recognize gpt4 as the forever patient and personal teacher i never had.

    With ai polling and transparancy in who the experts are we can guarantee democratic trust.


  • I agree but you seem to miss one major thing.

    Adult Power users cant imagine not owning a proper computer but we are more and more living in a time where this is no longer required. They used to be a niche thing for nerds. They are becoming so again.

    You don’t need a computer to have a fully useable mail client, file storage, text or image editor.

    You dont even need a computer anymore to code!

    Apple is investing massively in making the ipad into a developer friendly environment, people have tried it and while its clearly not perfect it does work. Many schools nowadays do teach coding logic with puzzles pieces as a side course and its likely that the ability to program will appear to become infantilized for us but it will be in an environment where things are easy and useable by everyone. The need for dedicated coders will disappear.

    Disclaimer: i am very optimistic about this next part

    This is neglecting the potential for AI to in a few years become better and faster at coding then a whole team is right now.

    Its not unlikely technology will evolve to exist only out of 4 things: A database, an Ai genie, sensors, and output deviceslike a screen, speaker or vr set.

    You will simply say “Het ai, connect me to our minecraft world” the ai will do the rest to understand your talking about the one you started last week with some friends, retrieve the data it saved about it and output it on your gaming device of choice.

    You wont need to understand it anymore then you understand a human mind when you ask it to remember something or tell a story.


  • Well there are 2 things.

    First there is speed for which they do indeed rely on multiple thousands of super high end industrial Nvidia gpus. And since the 10Billion investment from microsoft they likely expanded that capacity. I’ve read somewhere that chatgpt costs about 700,000 a day to keep running.

    There are a few others tricks and caveats here though. Like decreasing the quality of the output when there is high load.

    For that quality of output they do deserve a lot of credit cause they train the models really well and continuously manage to improve their systems to create even higher qualitive and creative outputs.

    I dont think gpt4 is the biggest model that is out there but it does appear to be the best that is available.

    I can run a small llm at home that is much much faster then chatgpt… that is if i want to generate some unintelligent nonsense.

    Likewise there might be a way to redesign gpt-4 to run on consumer graphics card with high quality output… if you don’t mind waiting a week for a single character to be generated.

    I actually think some of the open sourced local runnable llms like llama, vicuna and orca are much more impressive if you judge them on quality vs power requirement.






  • At some point meta tried purchasing anonymized patient data from hospitals.

    We are also discovering there are many subtle way to identify a person, like grammar, spelling speech patterns (tor specifically warns against this).

    Chances are high they already have some data on you, all they need is enough subtle unique things in your data to rule out anyone else. Based on the times your most active and references you might make.

    Now i am not a zuck owned superai but to give you my human attempt for an initial culling:

    A social security number is the name of the American name of such number. Purposely sounding American is a strategy on itself for non Americans but the act of trying to hide your identity by pretending to be from the us can be an identifier as-well. You also seem to be more on the political left so your your likely part one of 160 mil people (for convenience i am assuming a 50% split in left/right ideology in the us)

    In most countries your isp have some of your personal details your isp is also able to see all the internet domains you visit. They cant see what you do on them but because every instance has its own domain they have a timestamped list of all federated instances you visit.

    It only takes that info to be leaked/hacked or sold for the big corps to obtain it. Of course if you use a vpn your isp cant see the domain but if you do have a vpn congratulations cause its yet another identifier and they too can be hacked or be selling this data.

    The best way and only (still not guaranteed) way to remain anonymous is by using tor browser in windowed mode. Refraining from interacting and if you post to run your speech trough an ai algorithm to generalize/neutralize any personality from it.


  • As a lemmy user i can click your name and scroll trough a list of all posts and comments you have made. Thats your data and its currently free for the taking to any corporation.

    Eventually instances may develop ways to protect their users from this for example make posts only visible to verified human members that are members of a community. Now imagine a user joining such community from the meta threads apps. It wouldn’t be beneath them to fulltime record the app screen and ocr all the text the user sees.


  • Pros: millions of users can interact with your instance

    Cons: This is a super blatant attempt to consume all data. They have been doing this for years. “Log in with facebook” They see the value of the fediverse and aim to become the mainstream place for new accounts. Those users can then interact with any kind off community they want. Meta is not responsible for content on other instances. But they are harvesting all of it trough millions of clueless spies.
