  • So tiktok for the fediverse…

    Listen, I’m all for open sourcing stuff and I’m all for the fediverse and all. I just don’t understand why one would want a fediverse tiktok.

    • Short form content is addictive af and doesn’t add anything of substance to society.
    • Video hosting is expensive. Peertube is already struggling. How do you expect to financially sustain video hosting that is addictive to the user (which means more consumption) without running ads? Paywalling it won’t be an option due to the network effect as well.

    Very interesting video, I had no idea the level of redundancy built into QR codes.

    RIGHT?!! Same here. I didn’t know there was SO MUCH of thought put behind QR codes. I always assumed they were just bits visually represented in 2D with the three black squares being there for alignment purposes. Turns out it is a lot more complicated than that hehe

    Thanks!

  • I’m confident we should start seeing stuff like this soon. The upcoming ChatGPT model (forgot the version name) is doing recursive prompts for itself, where it breaks down a big task into smaller ones, then runs and reruns those tasks before coming up with an output.

    Right now, all LLMs just do a single pass and spit out the output. They don’t reason with themselves like we do yet. It’s kinda like what we do in quiz competitions or something, where we immediately shout “blue” when asked “what color is the sky”. However, when asked something more complicated, we don’t just answer quickly based on intuition, do we? We pause, think, rethink, look for counter arguments, patch holes in our statements and so on.

    This is the ability that LLMs lack now. However, very soon they will be able to do that. This just opens up a crazy amount of things that they can do. Take code for example. Right now, LLMs just spit out code without seeing if it works or not. Now, they’ll be able to run it themselves, look for errors, bugs and so on, fix them and finally submit the output code.

    Stuff like this would supercharge them quite a lot. Now, I know that I’m going to be downvoted to hell for talking about AI, cuz lemmy hates it. Mark my words though - you’ll be able to do A LOT using LLMs because of this.

    AI is going to exist and improve like crazy no matter what. The leftist position on this should be public ownership over these models and NOT pretending that they don’t exist.



  • Oh yeah yeah, IITs aren’t bad haha. It’s just that the competition to get into these “prestigious universities” (them being the IITs) is SO HIGH, that it’s kinda funny when they rank below Lund fkin university. The competition to get in them is so high, that u would think that Einstein, Bohr and Newton themselves conduct lectures there. It’s crazy.

    The issue is that the government spent a shit load of money on extremely high quality unis with very low capacity instead of mediocre unis with high capacity. Of course, if you point this out, then nationalists immediately get defensive and start saying shit like, “oh, it’s not the country’s problem that u couldn’t get into the IITs”. The Lund university argument kinda serves as a funny comeback for such bad faith arguments lol.
