That’s not obviously the case. I don’t think anyone has a sufficient understanding of general AI, or of consciousness, to say with any confidence what is or is not relevant.

We can agree that LLMs are not going to be turned into general AI though

You’re still putting words in my mouth.

I never said they weren’t stealing the data

I didn’t comment on that at all, because it’s not relevant to the point I was actually making, which is that people treating the output of an LLM as if it were derived from any factual source at all is really problematic, because it isn’t.

You’re putting words in my mouth, and inventing arguments I never made.

I didn’t say anything about whether the training data is stolen or not. I also didn’t say a single word about intelligence, or originality.

I haven’t been tricked into using one piece of language over another, I’m a software engineer and know enough about how these systems actually work to reach my own conclusions.

There is not a database tucked away in the LLM anywhere which you could search through and find the phrases which it was trained on, it simply doesn’t exist.

That isn’t to say it’s completely impossible for an LLM to spit out something which formed part of the training data, but it’s pretty rare. 99% of what it generates doesn’t come from anywhere in particular, and you wouldn’t find it in any of the sources which were fed to the model in training.

That simply isn’t true. There’s nothing in common between an LLM and a search engine, except insofar as the people developing the LLM had access to search engines, and may have used them during their data gathering efforts for training data

Except these AI systems aren’t search engines, and people treating them like they are is really dangerous

It’s probably not just software. I’d expect it to be an entirely separate set of processors which track how the flight is going and do absolutely nothing except decide whether or not to terminate

I couldn’t find the actual pinout for the 8 pin package, but the block diagrams make me think they’re power, ground, and 6 general purpose pins which can all be GPIO. Other functions, like ADC, SPI and I2C (all of which it has) will be secondary or tertiary functions on those same pins, selected in software.

So the actual answer you’re looking for is basically that all of the pins are everything, and the pinout is almost entirely software defined

BGA, like in the photo, isn’t the only option. There are options only slightly larger with hand-solderable packages (if you’re good at soldering)

“shortest route” and “straight line” actually mean pretty much the same thing. The shortest route is the straight line. Sorry if I confused the matter by switching up the terminology.

Flying parallel to the lines of latitude would mean that your bearing doesn’t change much, sure, but flying in a straight line would require your heading to change continuously.

The aircraft in the screenshot was flying a very not-straight course

That’s misleading. The shortest route would be the “great circular” joining the two points, which lines of latitude definitely are not.

The only line of latitude which is a great circle is the equator.

No, it’s not. It’s noth of the equator, so the straight line route would look like a curve towards the north. This route is curved south, which means it’s actually because of air traffic control routing them along approved flight paths. That might be for traffic management reasons, or because of terrain on the route, or restricted airspace.

Even that won’t be truly effective. It’s all marketing, at this point.

The problem of hallucination really is fundamental to the technology. If there’s a way to prevent it, it won’t be as simple as training it differently

If that’s their solution, then they have absolutely no understanding of the systems they’re using.

ChatGPT isn’t prone to hallucination because it’s ChatGPT, it’s prone because it’s an LLM. That’s a fundamental problem common to all LLMs

How did you calculate that? The question didn’t even mention a specific speed, just “near the speed of light”.

The kinetic energy for a grain of sand near the speed of light is somewhere between “quite a lot” and “literally infinity” (which is, in a sense, the reason you can’t actually reach light speed without a way to supply infinite energy).

It was pointed out to me a while back that the paradox of tolerance is only a paradox if you consider tolerance to be a philosophical position.

In fact, we don’t treat it like that. We treat it as a social contract, in which context it is no paradox at all to say that if you aren’t tolerant then other people aren’t obliged to tolerate you in turn

I bet he’d quickly become less busy if he was the supreme commander of the US armed forces

For once, I don’t think that particular charge is entirely inconsistent with the dictionary definition.

He’s accused of killing a member of the public in the hope of frightening everyone else in that person’s position into taking some kind of action.

I think the law says something about killing for a “political purpose”, with the goal of changing some kind of public policy or behaviour. That’s not an unreasonable interpretation of what happened, I think.

Unfortunately that means they get to use the laws which were written to deal with mass murder and bombing public spaces, which I don’t think is particularly appropriate but doesn’t seem out of line with the law

The ISS has enough spacecraft docked to take everyone home at a moments notice, always. Nobody needs to launch anything.

They broke that rule briefly when the Boeing capsule was deemed unfit for use, but they quickly fixed that.

In principle, yes. It depends on your Linux distribution though, I’m not familiar with the one you’re using

It’s asking for the ability to take screenshots, which is definitely suspicious unless there’s an in-app screenshot feature, and for the ability to launch discord and interact with it. The thing is it’ll be interacting using your discord account, I expect. That means it’ll be able to see your conversations and all the servers you’re in. It’ll also be able to post as you. Again, that’s the sort of thing which is very suspicious unless there’s some way in the app to have conversations over discord for some reason (maybe a bug report button, or a social feature).

Basically, I’d consider both of these alarming but not necessarily evidence that they’re spying on you to collect personal data or training data for an AI
