On the other hand, the human participant scored 67 percent, while GPT-3.5 scored 50 percent, and ELIZA, which was pre-programmed with responses and didn’t have an LLM to power it, was judged to be human just 22 percent of the time.

54% - 67% is the current gap, not 54 to 100.

Hackworth ,

Participants only said other humans were human 67% of the time.

Hackworth ,

Aye, I’d wager Claude would be closer to 58-60. And with the model probing Anthropic’s publishing, we could get to like ~63% on average in the next couple years? Those last few % will be difficult for an indeterminate amount of time, I imagine. But who knows. We’ve already blown by a ton of “limitations” that I thought I might not live long enough to see.

To the one person who upvoted this: We should be friends.

Humans are really bad at determining whether a chat is with a human or a bot

Eliza is not indistinguishable from a human at 22%.

Passing the Turing test stood largely out of reach for 70 years precisely because Humans are pretty good at spotting counterfeit humans.

This is a monumental achievement.

Alex Jones’ personal assets to be sold to pay $1.5B Sandy Hook debt. Company bankruptcy is dismissed (apnews.com)

A federal judge on Friday ordered the liquidation of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones ′ personal assets but dismissed his company’s separate bankruptcy case, leaving the future of his Infowars media platform uncertain as he owes $1.5 billion for his false claims that the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was a hoax....

Top EU Court Says There’s No Right To Online Anonymity, Because Copyright Is More Important (www.techdirt.com)

The key problem is that copyright infringement by a private individual is regarded by the court as something so serious that it negates the right to privacy. It’s a sign of the twisted values that copyright has succeeded on imposing on many legal systems. It equates the mere copying of a digital file with serious crimes that...

Thank you, I seldom see my own thoughts laid out so clearly. As a practitioner of the Dark Arts (marketing), this union of commerce and art is a foul bargain. I think it’s time the two had some time apart to work on themselves.

Don’t blame CEO tomfoolery on generative AI. Generative AI is amazing.

Hackworth ,

It saves me 10-20 hours of work every week as a corpo video producer, and I use that time to experiment with AI - which has allowed our small team to produce work that would be completely outside our resources otherwise. Without a single additional breakthrough, we’d be finding novel ways to be productive with the current form of generative AI for decades. I understand the desire to temper expectations, and I agree that companies and providers are not handling this well at all. But the tech is already solid. It’s just being misused more often than it’s being wielded well.

Hackworth ,

What tasks are you thinking about?

Hackworth , (edited )

I just meant I work for a corporation. I produce videos for marketing, been doing it for 25 years.

Hackworth ,

I understand this perspective, because the text, image, audio, and video generators all default to the most generic solution. I challenge you to explore past the surface with the simple goal of examining something you enjoy from new angles. All of the interesting work in generative AI is being done at the edges of the models’ semantic spaces. Avoid getting stuck in workflows. Try new ones regularly and compare their efficacies. I’m constantly finding use cases that I end up putting to practical use - sometimes immediately, sometimes six months later when the need arises.

A PR disaster: Microsoft has lost trust with its users, and Windows Recall is the straw that broke the camel's back (www.windowscentral.com)

It’s a nightmare scenario for Microsoft. The headlining feature of its new Copilot+ PC initiative, which is supposed to drive millions of PC sales over the next couple of years, is under significant fire for being what many say is a major breach of privacy and security on Windows. That feature in question is Windows Recall, a...

It seems to me that we’ve reached a crossroads. I’ve been very aware of the data mining, garden walls, data trading, privacy violations, security issues, ownership issues, etc. - for roughly 30 years. I regularly make the choice to be exploited for the benefits I extract, largely because the data they’ve gotten from me thus far I don’t highly value. But the necessity to develop strategies to keep the devil’s bargain beneficial has reached a fevered pitch. I want to train my own AI and public AIs. I want to explore the vast higher dimensional semantic spaces of generative models without API charges. APIs are vanishing as we speak, anyway, companies fearful of their data being extracted without compensation. Can’t really sit on the Open/Closed fence anymore.

The papers have a ton of practical info about feasibility, implementation, etc.

Hackworth OP ,

Until they can distribute the training load of large models to consumer graphics cards (and do something like SETI@Home) it does seem like the benefit of distributed training isn’t enough to overcome the friction.

Like a decade ago?

If you owned a magic library people donated to in order to preserve media for eternity but which was going through overpopulation, what criteria would you use to decide which media survived/discarded?

I was reading a recent article about the efforts by people not to ban books. While I think the sentiment is good-natured, as a helper at my local library, this is actually very problematic. People donate to us all the time, as is how libraries work. Sometimes the books are unpopular, unproductive, harmful, or just low tier....

Train LLMs on large bulks of data that meet criteria for deletion, thereby shrinking like 100 petabytes to a terabyte, albeit imperfectly. That way, you have a collection of AI bots that you can chat with about all the deleted data. And I suppose the threshold for deletion is, “How disastrous could a hallucination about this be?”

I’m not exactly sure why Nog is appropriate here, but he is.

CEO of Google Says It Has No Solution for Its AI Providing Wildly Incorrect Information (futurism.com)

You know how Google’s new feature called AI Overviews is prone to spitting out wildly incorrect answers to search queries? In one instance, AI Overviews told a user to use glue on pizza to make sure the cheese won’t slide off (pssst…please don’t do this.)...

Wikipedia got where it is today by providing accurate information. Google results have always been full of inaccurate information. Sorting through the links for respectable sources just became second nature, then we learned to scroll past ads to start sorting through links. The real issue with misinformation from an AI is that people treat it like it should be some infallible Oracle - a point of view only half-discouraged by marketing with a few warnings about hallucinations. LLMs are amazing, they’re just not infallible. Just like you’d check a Wikipedia source if it seemed suspect, you shouldn’t trust LLM outputs uncritically. /shrug

Hackworth ,

I do think Perplexity does a better job. Since it cites sources in its generated response, you can easily check its answer. As to the general public trusting Google, the company’s fall from grace began in 2017, when the EU fined them like 2 billion for fixing search results. There’ve been a steady stream of controversies since then, including the revelation that Chrome continues to track you in private mode. YouTube’s predatory practices are relatively well-known. I guess I’m saying that if this is what finally makes people give up on them, no skin off my back. But I’m disappointed by how much their mismanagement seems to be adding to the pile of negativity surrounding AI.

Hackworth ,

It seems like people are just ready to give up on civilization. Return to monke, I guess. Perhaps A.I. will go to the stars in our stead.

Hackworth ,

That’s for its own benefit. It has to talk through it (or alternatively code through it) to work out the answer. S’just showing its work.

Greater Idaho movement: 13 counties in eastern Oregon have voted to secede and join Idaho (ktvz.com)

On Tuesday, voters in Crook County passed measure 7-86, which asked voters if they support negotiations to move the Oregon/Idaho border to include Crook County in Idaho. The measure is passing with 53% of the vote, and makes Crook County the 13th county in eastern Oregon to pass a Greater Idaho measure.

In our post-AI era, is job security strictly mythical? Or How to believe in careers as a concept worth doing?

With the lastest news of AI layoffs, I’m struggling to understand how the idea of a career still holds. If careers themselves effectively become gambles like lottery tickets, how do we maintain drive and hopes in the longterm endgame of our struggles?...

Hackworth ,

A.I. is likely going to change the world as much as the printing press (at the very least, and possibly as much as the industrial revolution). I wouldn’t call it a nothing fad. It is definitely shaking up my career (video production) already. And at least from my point of view, becoming a creative generalist is the best way to adapt. Work is going to become more about knowing a little to moderate amount about a whole lot of things, so that you can effectively orchestrate a hierarchy of AI agents. Deep specialization increasingly carries too much risk, and the A.I. are much better at some aspects of it than we typically are.

Hackworth ,

It turns out gen AI is good at training virtual robots, which can then be embodied in robots like this guy. There’s a $16,000 Chinese version of that robot that’s a bit smaller. There’s a robot dog that GPT4 trained to balance on a beach ball, and the NVIDIA pen twirling training. I guess what I’m saying is… robots exist.
