Technology@lemmy.world•How Much Do LLMs Hallucinate in Document Q&A Scenarios? A 172-Billion-Token Study Across Temperatures, Context Lengths, and Hardware Platforms [TLDR: 25%]English
1·5 months agoI refuse to call it AI
It’s a LM… Pure and simple. Anyway none of the LMs can come up with theory of relatively (if you gave them all of the known physics up to 1915).
Nor can they play paper scissors rock (they don’t realise it’s pointless).
As far as I can tell they’re wrong more times then they’re right and the only use I have for them is as a glorified search engine (and even then they’re still fricking wrong.
They’re only useful if you already know the answer because if you don’t know the answer you don’t know if they’ve given you the wrong answer.

1·5 months agoIt’s already sufficent to cool 20kw of compute.
When starship goes up it’ll be crazy cost effective to throw them up in orbit and do compute there then to waste the time, money and power on earth

1·5 months agoAre all outputs hallucinations? It’s just some happen to be correct and some aren’t. It doesn’t know and can’t tell unless it’s specifically told (hence the guard rails).
But if I’ve gotta build so many hand rails (instructions) then is it really “AI”?

95·5 months agoThey already have orbital, distributed, data centres.
It’s called Starlink. It’s already got the equivalent of entire cabinet worth of hardware in a single satellite.
Scott Manley has been doing the maths and shown how it’s already incredibly viable with current tech, especially with how they can already cool 20kw of Starlink sat just fine.
The biggest constraints on earth are town planning costs and delays/time, and of course power. (most DC cooling systems are closed looped)

3·6 months agoIt seems like an utterly vexatious, and banal one at that, lawsuit by the PRS.

Technology@lemmy.world•System76 tries to talk Colorado down over OS age checksEnglish
1·6 months agoYup, the REAL goal here is to get an ID associated with an IP address to remove your anonymity from the web.
Maybe I’m I don’t have enough of a technical understanding (and I’m wrong about this) but I believe there is some sort of fingerprint at the OS level (not IP or Mac) that they can obtain when you’re on the net that in turn they want to map to your identity, thus even if you’re using tor/vpns to mask your IP, you’re still identifiable.
