Frankly I expect the kernel dudes to be pretty good about this, their style guides alone are quite strick and any funny business in a PR that isn’t marked correctly is I think likely a ban from making PRs at all. How it worked beforehand, as already stated by others is the author says “I promise this follows the rules” and that’s basically the end of it. Giving an official avenue for generated code is a great way to reduce the negatives of it that’ll happen anyway. We know this from decades of real life experience trying to ban things like alcohol or drugs, time after time providing a legal avenue with some rules makes things safer. Why wouldn’t we see a similar effect here?

That’s their problem. If they are using an LLM and cannot verify the output they shouldn’t be using an LLM

Indeed, it’s just called installing there

Tell me you haven’t used a back button without telling me.

To TLDR you pretend the back button on android is the back button on your mouse, because it is. Does it seem useful yet?

If I could trust that the people in government know how computers work I’d be down but well I can’t

As a Gen z who managed to not be an idiot I’m unconvinced it’s the technology when even in my elementary school years I was beginning to realize how shit the school system is. Technology probably doesn’t make things better but it was failing me in elementary school when the best of the best was the massive brick of a computer Macs in the computer lab was all we had

I mean it varies. It’s fun to just goof off in games sometimes. That’s why sandbox games like Minecraft typically have creative modes, sometimes you just wanna play in the sandbox and have a good time without the more typical game parts tying you down

This was the expected outcome. It’s why some people come off so frothing at the mouth about it

Ironically you might have restricted mode enabled. Check your settings in YouTube and disable it if it is

Did not expect to see a Voosh video in my !technology@lemmy.world, hopefully folks here won’t be put off by his strong (but accurate) words to describe the situation.

More complex forms of reasoning in the context of “Reasoning Systems” is video game NPC Ai. They take the current game state and “reason” about what action they should take now or even soon in the future. Really good video game Ai will use your velocity to pre-aim projectiles at where you’ll be in the future instead of where you are currently. The NPC analogy is one of the very thing’s being described by the term

If you truly believe that you fundamentally misunderstand the definition of that word or are being purposely disingenuous as you Ai brown nose folk tend to be. To pretend for a second you genuinely just don’t understand how to read LLMs, the most advanced “Ai” they are trying to sell everybody is as capable of reasoning as any compression algorithm, jpg, png, webp, zip, tar whatever you want. They cannot reason. They take some input and generate an output deterministically. The reason the output changes slightly is because they put random shit in there for complicated important reasons.

Again to recap here LLMs and similar neural network “Ai” is as capable of reasoning as any other computer program you interact with knowingly or unknowingly, that being not at all. Your silly Wikipedia page is a very specific term “Reasoning System” which would include stuff like standard video game NPC Ai such as the zombies in Minecraft. I hope you aren’t stupid enough to say those are capable of reasoning

They can’t reason. LLMs, the tech all the latest and greatest still are, like GPT5 or whatever generate output by taking every previous token (simplified) and using them to generate the most likely next token. Thanks to their training this results in pretty good human looking language among other things like somewhat effective code output (thanks to sites like stack overflow being included in the training data).

Generating images works essentially the same way but is more easily described as reverse jpg compression. You think I’m joking? No really they start out with static and then transform the static using a bunch of wave functions they came up with during training. LLMs and the image generation stuff is equally able to reason, that being not at all whatsoever

No actually! Musks entire involvement with PayPal was being fired by the company he founded which then later down the road was bought out by PayPal when the people who fired him for incompetence turned it around and made it valuable enough PayPal wanted it

I presume you don’t live in the US because lol. Living is more expensive than ever before in history but shit like phones and TVs cheap yay?

What’s wrong with liking cuties?

Sometimes you don’t feel like eating a large orange.

Well they are an Ex chairman so hopefully that’s a good sign?

It’s not an assumption it’s just a matter of practical reality. If we’re at best a decade off from that point why pretend it could suddenly unexpectedly improve to the point it’s unrecognizable from its current state? LLMs are neat, scientists should keep working on them and if it weren’t for all the nonsense “Ai” hype we have currently I’d expect to see them used rarely but quite successfully as it would be getting used off of merit, not hype.

I did not always use an ad blocker. Frankly my stance is they’ve made their bed, now they get to lie down in it. If it wasn’t for YouTubes ad quality being so poor I would have never bothered taking the 30 seconds it takes to install an adblock those 10 or so years ago

Okay so imagine for a second that somebody just invented voice to text and everyone trying to sell it to you lies about it and claims it can read your thoughts and nobody will ever type things manually ever again.

The people trying to sell us LLMs lie about how they work and what they actually do. They generate text that looks like a human wrote it. That’s all they do. There’s some interesting attributes of this behavior, namely that when prompted with text that’s a question the LLM will usually end up generating text that ends up being an answer. The LLM doesn’t understand any part of this process any better than your phones autocorrect, it’s just really good at generating text that looks like stuff it’s seen in training. Depending on what exactly you want this thing to do it can be extremely useful or a complete scam. Take for example code generation. By and large they can generate code mostly okay, I’d say they tend to be slightly worse than a competent human. Genuinely really impressive for what it is, but it’s not revolutionary. Basically the only actual use cases for this tech so far has been glorified autocomplete. It’s kind of like NFTs or Crypto at large, there is actual utility there but nobody who’s trying to sell the idea to you is actually involved or cares about that part, they just want to trick you into becoming their new money printer.
