@Charalanahzard Back in the day playing FPS games if you were too skilled you would get accused of using an aimbot or other mod all the time. I suppose this is the conversational equivalent.
It’s so much easier for clowns to believe that the reason they’re losing is because you are cheating.

Any mobile game monetization expert will agree it’s insanely difficult not to incentivize an economy towards exploitation, and yet there are “trusted systems” like academic research publication that are assumed working that have bigger trapdoors than any game would ever allow.

@8BitShowAndTell My first ever machine. It still functions as well. What a wonderful, yet horrible piece of equipment.

@slimeguyethan I had “Bad Moon Rising” stuck in my head for 3 full years during university. People knew it was me coming down the hall because they’d hear me humming it. It was the only song the band in my head knew.

LLMs are probabilistic grammar machines trained on heaps of human phrases. They can’t be trusted to tell only truth. Maybe it’s not just the algo?

I find being outraged by LLMs “hallucinating” a bit odd…how often do people think they’re getting total truth from actual humans?

I don’t know about anybody else but I would trade in my left arm for Emily Blunt to star in “The Angel of Verdun,” the sequel we all deserve.

[Brian Schwab @BrianSchwabAI]

Explain to me why somebody doesn’t make an LLM query tool that generates an answer, and then searches for non generative corroborating evidence…like an intelligent entity would

Then use the resultant delta to build a confidence table of their data points around various subjects

Watching Guardians of the Galaxy 3 this morning, it occurred to me that in a horrific way, how I felt seeing Rocket and his cage family is how artists have probably felt over the years when I would show them an early prototype with programmer art

I am so sorry, I didn’t know

@rodolfor @s_bura I assume at some point where will be an XR filter so that people could actually live their lives like this :)

In other news, I love stop motion, I’ve been doing a bunch myself as a hobby.

@MichaelG_3D Developer is not another word for programmer or engineer. QA is not only game devs, they are essential to making quality games. You don’t need to die on any hill, this is a known to people that make quality games, and therefore a hill that is “already won.”

@mattybtweets69 MjölSlide declares you Not Worthy

@timoni Enhance your calm and Be well, AI :)

Yesterday I was playing an archery game in VR

I heard a creature off to my right and so I turned. As I did so, I ended up squaring up with the small desk fan in my office

The sudden alignment of cold wind and a wailing shambler can only be described as immersive in a new way

[Brian Schwab @BrianSchwabAI]

You could think of model collapse in LLMs as a form of PTSD

If “experiences” are overly magnified, either because they are very traumatic, or because they are continuously refed into the model, their relative weighting can overshadow all else

Now everything is about Vietnam

@togelius Wouldn’t you say that this is precisely what we see every time anything is looked at with “unsupervised pattern matching?”

The primary work of any AI researcher is to try and ensure they’re recognizing the right thing. That takes time, and a lot of iteration.

What am I missing?

[Brian Schwab @BrianSchwabAI]

I find it somewhat humorous to hear folks saying “anybody can be a maker” like it’s always been that way and it’s not because of 50 years of making toolsets and ways of thinking that actually allowed that

It’s the realization of the dream, not a tautology that’s always been

[Brian Schwab @BrianSchwabAI]

I wish Rocket League had come out in the 90s…I feel like Quidditch would have been a much better game

[Brian Schwab @BrianSchwabAI]

Humans don’t really learn “facts,” they learn patterns and connections. Just like large language models

This is why most experts/llms can’t tell you how they “know”

The only reason some humans aren’t just as full of crap is that they have nonstop introspection/fact checking

[Brian Schwab @BrianSchwabAI]

I’m very much of the opinion that “learning from children” is about hearing what crap assumptions and biases YOU have picked up on over the years, by listening close to someone fresh to life’s pressures

It’s a negative space education you’re getting, so keep your anti-eyes open

Today I was watching a show about Apollo 11 with my 9 year old, Oliver

They showed a video from day 5 that Buzz captured with an onboard camera that was only like 10fps.

Olly says “this video has a lot of lag. They must have a crappy connection out there”
