Erm. I'm trying to clear up what I thought looked like misconceptions you have about AI in regards to real-world applications, but I seem to have come on too strong, and I apologize; I have a tendency to put on a know-it-all attitude and it's something I'm trying to work on.
Have a good day, I'll leave you alone now.
you called me a robot racist.
.....what?
Looking up the most common answer isn’t intelligence, there is no understanding of cause and effect going on inside the algorithm
In order for that to be true, the entire dataset would need to be contained within the LLM. Which it is not. If it were, a model wouldn't have to undergo training.
AI implies intelligence
You seem to be mistaking 'intelligence' for 'human-like intelligence'. This is not how AI is defined. AI can be dumber than a gnat, but if it's capable of making decisions based on stimulus without each set of stimulus and decision being directly coded into it, then it's AI. It's the difference between what is ACTUALLY called AI, and when a sci-fi show or novel talks about AI.
Okay, what is your definition of AI then, if nothing burned onto silicon can count?
If LLMs aren't AI, then absolutely nothing up to this point probably counts either.
It's not, but it felt like further than that when I was 7 years old.
Ahhhh yeah, that would do it. :/
See, the funny thing though is that in this specific situation, the workers were legally there. They had gone through the proper channels. They had work permits. This has nothing to do with the law and everything to do with racism, xenophobia, and a power-tripping ICE.
So you're not wrong, but now even the people who are doing it right are getting punished.
It's a very specialized program intended to get a computer to do something that computers are generally very, very bad at - write sensible language about a wide variety of topics. Trying to then get that one specialized program to turn around and do things that computers are good at, and expect to do it well, is very silly.
If a seagull is stealing chips from someone, odds are there are plenty of other seagulls around to witness their compatriot getting merked.
Seagulls understand that stealing from humans is risky - that's why they generally do it very quickly. The ones who fail suffer consequences for their failure, same as stealing food from any other creature. It's the risk/reward calculation any scavenger has to make.
Sometimes they calculate incorrectly. They get forcibly removed from the gene pool.
Of course, it's also illegal in a lot of countries to harm seagulls, so in that sense, he was in the wrong anyways.
The train station is unmanned and largely un-maintained. It's just a dirt platform. The only thing the train has to do that it wasn't already doing anyways is stop and start again, which consumes fewer resources than a separate EV driving all the way to the next nearest stop.
Overpopulation combined with the inefficient resource consumption of modern society. If our resource usage per person reduced at the same rate that population increased, it wouldn't be a big deal.
Also that graph is ridiculous. If there was one less child born per person alive, there would be zero children being born in most developed countries (it takes two people to have a child, which would mean two less children per couple). Of COURSE that would result in a drastically reduced carbon footprint, because we'd die out.
The purpose of a system is what it does.
