Workers often humanise the machines they work with, because they can relate to something working hard for hours despite being neglected. So, it's no surprise that tech managers humanise LLMs for confidently bullshitting while others make excuses for their errors.

I’ve tried using GTP for code 3 times. Each time it created code that would compile but failed in important edge conditions to the point where figuring out what it missed was more work than cranking out boilerplate myself. One time it did use a remarkably useful api I didn’t know about, so that was a win. Were it not 11:30 PM and I could chat with a colleague they might have pointed it out. But…

Just last night I used ChatGPT to figure out the probability of six dice showing at least one '6' when thrown. It gave me the correct formula (though since I don't remember a drat thing about probability and didn't completely trust it, I first verified it was the correct formula to use through some internet searching), and I'd heard that it had better math skills now, so I asked it for a table of probabilities from 1 die to 6 dice. Per ChatGPT, throwing five dice had a lower probability of showing a 6 than throwing four. Which didn't make sense, even to a dunce like me. When I asked about it, I got five paragraphs back about how certain it was, an explanation with math words in it why it was correct, and a reminder that sometimes probability has unexpected and unintuitive outcomes, and that this was one of them. I went ahead and did the calculations on my own and got my own table. ---- I tried using ChatGPT to help me write an excel formula, and it was incorrect so many times, it was easier to just look up help for the functions it was recommending. So, like the math problem, it picked roughly the right approach, but that was about it. It was about as useful as an internet search should be. ---- I also recently tried to get it to help me write a batch file for using 7zip to update an encrypted .7z file every so often, prompting for password where necessary. It took at least an hour to get it to do something usable, and when I asked about certain issues, it confidently gave me false information about what they meant. ---- In all of the above, I was just inexperienced enough to need help, but I was also untrusting, driven, and intuitive enough to piece together a functional solution. If I was in a hurry, too trusting, or had less experience with solving minor software issues on my own, I might not even realize how broken my solutions were. Funny thing is, I really couldn't figure these things out without asking a human or using ChatGPT, not because it's so good at what it does, but because Google and Bing are such piles of poo poo, it would have been an even bigger waste of my time to use them.

It's a bit like asking a sanitised version of 4chan for advice. Mix of knowledge and ignorance, presented in a consistent style, no usernames, different responders for each follow-up question.

Kinda wonder, since fast foods and soda are unaffordable now (McDonalds prices have literally doubled and in some cases tripled from 10 years ago) if there isn't an upside for a reduction in consumption of poo poo foods and therefore obesity?

I have to assume so. About a decade ago I dropped a little over 100 pounds and I did it by following only two rules when it came to what I consumed: 1. Don't drink calories. 2. Don't eat fast food. Those two rules and regularly going to the gym was really, really effective.

Probably a net good for society, especially if consumption of sugared soda goes down, but families in food deserts with chronically stressful and chaotic lives will probably just go back to the boxed macaroni and cheese, hotdog, and kool-aid diet of the 80s, which is even more nutritionally empty than chicken nuggets and burgers that at least had a slice of tomato and some lettuce.

Tools are very often only as good as their users are, though. I’m not making an argument for translating all engineers into ai for all code. Just that it’s basically becoming cleaner and better able to not gently caress up (doesn’t mean it doesn’t gently caress up). And whilst it’s not able to come up with the most optimal solution all the time, it’s actually solved coding problems I didn’t have an answer for based on its own knowledge of thing it’s building. Can’t complain, it wrote that whilst I went for a piss. Also training your existing text data onto a model is easier than you think. I’d be amazed if most of the big houses haven’t already got experiments of this sort of stuff in place just for shits and gigs.

This morning I was in my kitchen and said to my cat, "Oh, you're out of food!" Alexa responded to my voice to start advertising at me. gently caress that piece of poo poo. If it wasn't for the fact that someone else in the house loves it, I'd have chucked it in the trash long ago.

I really cannot stress enough, in general and to some of the posters over the last page or two, that LLMs are not actual for-realsies AI. They don't have intelligence, they don't think, they don't have "memory" the way we think of it. Think of them more as incredibly robust auto-completes. When you ask it "How do I write 'hello world' in java?" it doesn't actually start thinking about what syntax Java tends to use or anything like that, it JUST predicts what the next character should be as it goes along based on the data it's been trained on. It goes "well most java programs start with a named 'class' so let's go with 'class HelloWorld' then most have a main function that's a public static void so let's go with that...." etc. It doesn't understand any of what it's writing, it just is mimicking what it's seen from training data. When you ask it a complex programming task or about an edge case problem you've ran in to or about a difficult math problem, it isn't going to ACTUALLY try to solve it - it just strings together words that it sees commonly strung together and spit that back out at you. Chat GPT said "rolling five dice has a worse probability of producing a 6 than four dice" because it doesn't understand what any of those individual words mean at all, it just knows that they are very commonly put together in roughly that order. If you were writing that response out on your phone and saw the auto-correct predict the wrong word, you wouldn't think "wow my phone is bad at dice probability!" you'd just shrug off that it predicted wrong. That is how LLMs produce all of their text, programming or otherwise. CodfishCartographer fucked around with this message at 16:23 on May 16, 2024 |

I'm so annoyed that Google killed Google Podcast app last month. That app served one purpose, to listen to podcasts. It was easy to use, your feed was right there, it was easy to queue things up. My wife added me to her Spotify account and I just find Spotify and Youtube Music so loving cumbersome to listen to podcasts on because they are platforms first and foremost built for music and not podcasts. It's loving annoying.

Surprisingly Spotify has gotten better for me, it used to crash a lot when listening to long podcasts. Now it only breaks down when I'm listening to something while it connects to a Bluetooth output. Videoconferencing has gotten worse. Msteams crashes all the time from it not knowing what to do with the audio drivers and decides to just crash my mic and speakers and freeze msteams so I can't tell anyone "sorry. Microsoft poo poo the bed again. Gotta restart". Happened three times yesterday to me until i managed to convince the client to just send me an email. That's one issue with distributed teams, people keep wanting to have these two hour teams meetings instead of just sending me an email that I can read and respond to quickly without being chained to the topic (I like to switch up tasks every 45 min or so to get out of tunnel vision thinking). Gas stations are worse too. I never pay at the pump anymore because whenever I have a lapse of judgement and do, without fail in a few weeks I'll find thousands of dollars of purchases from someone who used one of those credit card sniffers. The little metallic sticker and jiggling the card slot doesn't work anymore in my area.

The thing I love the most about spotify is using the pc app to seamlessly swap between listening on my phone, my computer and my google home speaker. It's really nice. I am getting more used to Spotify as I use it, but I just wish there was an easier way to see which podcasts have new episodes.

cat botherer posted:Good news: Amazon is going to be discontinuing Alexa at some point due to it losing gobs of money. Does anyone remember those stupid auto-ordering buttons Amazon made around seven or eight years ago? Basic premise was that you had a button that could sync up with the Alexa app that would order a particular assigned product when you pressed it. You had to pay a fiver (I think) for these stupid, essentially useless things. In order to get people to buy them, Amazon gave you a discount of a tenner on your first order made from the button. So I ordered a bunch of the buttons for stuff like toilet paper and cases of beer, pressed each one exactly once and never used them again. They were discontinued shortly after, as I assume everybody else did the exact same thing.

In windows 11 if you disable the annoying notifications icon in the corner it disables clicking on the date to bring up the calendar. How dare you try to make your experience less poo poo user! HOW DARE YOU , enjoy the calendar not working LOL.Our metrics show people who disable the notification re-enable it and so clearly people love notifications.

Some recent Android update included a new feature "Circle to Search". I've turned it off in settings, but Google insists on asking me to try it when my finger is on the home button. I turned it off you jerks, stop asking me constantly. I hate this poo poo. Stop adding dumb bullshit I can't turn off.
