On the other hand, most democracies come from military coups. All the recent coups leading to authoritarianism come from the CIA or Kremlin or Islamism. After the cold war more coups led to democracy afain. If the US has an internal coup now it’ll be more likely one of those, I’d think.

AI already has less false negatives than humans. Both together is optimal but at some point you need to prioritize. A doctor looking at scans could in stead be treating a patient.

TheBlackLounge@lemmy.zipto Technology@lemmy.world•Huge Study of Chats Between Delusional Users and AI Finds Alarming PatternsEnglish2·7 days agoPopulation is a statistical term which means “everything”. There is no “next 100”.
The 300 number is specifically about very big populations where you’re trying to measure something like an average of an unknown variable. It doesn’t apply to just anything statistics.
TheBlackLounge@lemmy.zipto Technology@lemmy.world•Huge Study of Chats Between Delusional Users and AI Finds Alarming PatternsEnglish1·7 days agoHow big do you think the population of people with AI delusion is? Why can’t 19 be a representative sample? Why is that not enough to make statements like “after the user expresses romantic interest in the chatbot, the chatbot is 7.4x more likely to express romantic interest in the next three messages, and 3.9x more likely to claim or imply sentience in the next three messages.” when all 19 users expressed romantic interest?
TheBlackLounge@lemmy.zipto Technology@lemmy.world•Huge Study of Chats Between Delusional Users and AI Finds Alarming PatternsEnglish1·7 days agoThat doesn’t make sense. What if your population is only 100?
TheBlackLounge@lemmy.zipto Technology@beehaw.org•Bernie Sanders spoke to AI agent Claude1·15 days agoOk. You said LLMs are not AI, I didn’t agree with the nuance. You’re making a big thing out of this.
ML was huge in B2B and still going steady. Not “SVMs as a service”, but you bet sales teams were letting everybody know that their solutions learn. You can find loads of conference material about “why ML is better than AI” from a decade ago. They pivoted to calling it AI again of course, even if the product didn’t change.

TheBlackLounge@lemmy.zipto Technology@beehaw.org•Bernie Sanders spoke to AI agent Claude1·17 days agoYes, the point is LLMs are AI.
ML is AI too. But sales didn’t call it that because AI had the reputation of “just brute force with some heuristics”.
Now we forget about that so it’s hype to call things AI again. Once LLMs lose their magic the next big AI thing will again not be sold as AI.
TheBlackLounge@lemmy.zipto Technology@beehaw.org•Bernie Sanders spoke to AI agent Claude1·17 days agoArtificial intelligence (AI) is the capability of computational systems to perform tasks typically associated with human intelligence,
Yeah so like how astroturf is a bit of plastic with some properties usually associated with grass. I don’t see a problem with the term.
It’s gonna be much easier to reemphasize the A in AI than coming up with a new term that sticks and doesn’t have other problems.
This works and has happened multiple times before (eg chess computers). I mean, “machine learning” was a marketing term invented exactly to avoid the A in AI.
TheBlackLounge@lemmy.zipto Technology@beehaw.org•Bernie Sanders spoke to AI agent Claude11·18 days agoWould you expect anything more than astroturf when I say artificial grass? It’s really not controversial to call it that. https://www.ikea.com/be/en/p/runnen-floor-decking-outdoor-artificial-grass-50313131/
Same goes for anything else artificial. Why expect more than a plastic stand-in useful for some purposes when talking about artificial intelligence?
The word really isn’t the problem. Yeah maybe one day we’ll be able to make artificial grass that you can feed a goat and it’ll grow back, but IKEA really isn’t interested in that.
They’re compiled rust programs.
You can fork today. It’ll work forever.

Don’t see any, never do, but always complaints about .ml’s. Such a weird thing to do. It’s different servers, it’s like complaining about Facebook bots. Just leave and ignore them. Or go to their servers and fight them there.
