BUCKETMOUSE PRESENTS

Whitenoise posting about old videogames and computers. General internet absurdity. Minimum drama. Old. Not a vampire. Probably.

Its been a month since the last time I went on this same tangent but neural networks, their history, their potential, and the intentions behind those who pioneered them are actually all really fucking incredible and cool and it cannot be emphasized enough how unfairly they've been perverted by capitalism right now. Some of you think you understand that but I still see you very quick to dismiss that there was ever any merit to the technology at all.

The data centers aren't needed for it to exist, or even for it to be used for entertainment or novelty. The data centers are because it's being crammed into a billion times more than that, because they're inserting it into literally everything several billion people are using every second of every day.

I remember years ago reading about how excited medical researchers were, because they created one of those that scanned like, 20,000 healthy scans of tissue, and a thousand scans of unhealthy tissue, and they started feeding it scans of tissue and it would identify healthy from unhealthy tissue with a staggeringly high accuracy rate? I remember it was being touted as a medical breakthrough.

This is still advancing as far as I know. Picking things out from sets is one thing that it's best at!

But there's a downside we unfortunately all could have guessed, too, which is that actual doctors using ai assistance become more careless and lazy at doing it themselves.

...On the other hand, though, pretty much all medical work has BEEN understaffed, pretty much always, and the staff they have is therefore constantly over-worked, right?

Virtually everyone is overworked in all industries. That's...the original reason we wanted robots.

So I have to wonder, like, is it also possible the human's "20% drop in effectiveness" is just what it looks like when something else can shoulder what was already unhealthy burden? Was the average doctor doing 20% more than the human brain and body was really comfortable handling? Would their personal efficiency have also similarly dropped a bit if they just had more human help, too?

This has still been a net positive where it's been implemented, with the combination of computer and human saving more lives together, but when lives are on the line we obviously still want both of those at their best.

ChatGPT is the same concept

understanding the actual scientific applications of neural networks makes it easier to understand what fucking garbage the AI chatbots and "Assistants" and this and that are.

Show it lots and lots of a certain thing, and it will become really really good at finding patterns in that thing.

But with the AI chat bots, the thing they showed it lots and lots of is...Language. they crammed every sentence on the whole entire internet into it basically

So the AI is really really good at finding patterns in...how people write sentences online.

Which means it can create sentences that follow the same patterns as sentences that real people write on the internet.

The devastating error has been that when "language" is the thing the AI is trained on, people mistakenly think that the AI "knows" a lot about the things the sentences appear to be about and not sentences themselves

this video is CUTE, the animal is clearly in distress but it is a vile creature unloved by any god and we are correct to derive pleasure and satisfaction from its misery

No I think it's really great when a friend group of approximately twenty seven individuals spread out in the sidewalk as they walk so nobody has to walk behind the group. There's nothing better than when I'm trying to get home and I see the tableau of Jesus at the Last Supper gliding towards me like Jamiroquai in the Virtual Insanity music video and I have to decide who has the narrowest frame that I can shoulder-check my way past

Calling the previously undocumented behavior one of the most exciting scientific discoveries of the decade, biologists from Yale University confirmed Tuesday that they had observed geese eating tools. “We normally don’t think of birds as tool eaters, so it came as quite a shock to witness multiple Canada geese from a flock in coastal Connecticut swallowing these remarkably sophisticated implements,” said Professor Sarah Rasmussen, adding that some of the tools the geese had consumed actually exceeded what a human third-grader would be able to eat.
