A new study released Thursday by research group Epoch AI projects that tech companies will exhaust the supply of publicly available training data for AI language models by roughly the turn of the decade – sometime between 2026 and 2032.

But how much it’s worth worrying about the data bottleneck is debatable.

“I think it’s important to keep in mind that we don’t necessarily need to train larger and larger models,” said Nicolas Papernot, an assistant professor of computer engineering at the University of Toronto and researcher at the nonprofit Vector Institute for Artificial Intelligence.

Papernot, who was not involved in the Epoch study, said building more skilled AI systems can also come from training models that are more specialized for specific tasks.

Doesn’t really sound like the end of the world.

It’s so incredibly fucked up to read about Orban’s shit. Here’s hoping the EU elections don’t go as poorly as some are projecting

In response to the lemmy.ml moderation polemic: beware of bad faith agents!

One of the biggest topics of these days is that of mods in lemmy.ml banning and censoring people because they’re Tankies. This has had a rather sizeable discussion of people agreeing and even arguing for defederating ml. I’m sure a lot of people are arguing from good intentions, but there’s also bad faith actors among...

I have absolutely had anti-tankie comments deleted on Lemmy.ml. I literally just said something like “Hexbear is a bunch of tankies” and it got deleted.

That being said, I wouldn’t support defederation just because they have some annoying mods.

Edit: a couple other points. OP has a 3 day old account that isn’t from ml but is named in reference to Lenin. They posted anti-US imperialism stuff to a community dedicated to complaining about ml and tankies. Thats just off topic and spamming a community. I suspect OP might originally be from ml

@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

This is a good point. I checked the community and it’s all complaining about ml and tankies. So why would a post about American imperialism be relevant? OP was banned with the comment “commie?” and honestly I get why. It sounds like a tankie move to post anti-US imperialism stuff to a community like that. Although commie isn’t a synonym for tankie, tankie is a subset of communist.

OP’s name is also a reference to Lenin, making me question their motives here. Liking Lenin doesn’t make one a tankie per se but it makes me skeptical.

Edit: the account is also 3 days old. I wonder if it’s an alt from a ml person

I see the “if we don’t spend any money, we won’t need to tax anyone” logic is still going strong. Just don’t pay your retirees, what could go wrong?

Can’t a fungus spread through direct contact?

jeffw OP ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

Wow, totally missed that. Definitely weird

jeffw OP ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

Ok but what if the fungus also mutated them into human-sized cicadas?

Idk, I just feel like it’s 1. A cop out. We need to reduce emissions and not put our eggs in one basket. And 2. In its infancy. The tech isn’t efficient enough yet to be rolled out imo

I thought it was weird we were hosting the cricket World Cup. Didn’t even know we had a team

jeffw ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

I honestly thought this was like how the NFL and MLB do games abroad to try to market the sport to new audiences. I literally thought it was a marketing ploy to get Americans into cricket. I didn’t even stop to think that maybe we were playing in the tournament lol

You get permabanned from that one right wing hellhole social media network, whatever they call it nowadays

Edit: was it 3? No, maybe Y? S? I swear it had something to do with a Tesla model

Yeah but like an Elon promise.

So no.

jeffw OP ,

Ok but hear me out. We could also pay him $56 billion

I loved your joke and was excited to share it with my wife… who didn’t get it lol

jeffw OP ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

“Their”? No, it’s literally just Elon forcing his childish sense of humor on the world.

I am the tiniest bit less annoyed since the Y was announced. For a while I thought he literally just thought the word “sex” was funny or something.

jeffw OP ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

Activist investing, I like it.

jeffw OP ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah but people call cars “sexy.” It’s less weird than just spelling out the word “sex” like you’re a 10 year old boy laughing at the word “sex”.

jeffw OP ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

Is this a reference to something? I swear I saw a comment on Lemmy recently about a dude saying he laughed so hard he woke his wife up

jeffw OP ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

Bone apple tea?

jeffw OP ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, you’re right. It was just the closest thing I could think of

jeffw OP ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

I believe mpox was, sadly, renamed because racists and their use of “monkey”. I think that was more the issue over men who have sex with men. “Ringworm” isn’t a slur though lol

PFAS last a hell of a long time without our intervention

jeffw OP ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

Nope, not PFAS. Few places have filtration sufficient to address them, from my understanding.

“If these cocaine bales are a point source of pollution, it’s very plausible [sharks] can be affected by this chemical. Cocaine is so soluble that any of those packages open just a little, the structural integrity is destroyed and the drug is in the water,” Tracy Fanara, a Florida-based environmental engineer toldthe Guardian last year.

Blaming the sharks too smh

What do you mean?

jeffw OP ,

Gotcha, just making sure you weren’t trying to delve in anti-vax misinformation stuff

Tolls are regressive, yes, but it’s Manhattan. You don’t need a car. Also, people need to stop driving for the sake of our planet. Sometimes sin taxes work
