on AI’s recursive self-improvement might not come so quickly after all in c/technology@lemmy.world · 15 Sep 2026
So you think that AI increasing the capability of new AI just involves training a new model on the output of the old model? Or are you pretending to be a science?

You have to spin the magnet on the truck real fast to turn the force acting on it into rotation. And the other magnet needs to be an electromagnet. Ok, so you need two donuts, one a web of copper, and the other a liquid conductor like gallium. And you need a big computer. And more drugs. We always need more drugs.

As someone who was born into life in the sticks, there is nothing that can separate a farmer from his oppressors. May as well let them rage out there. No one is saying to hurt the farmers, only to let them be backwards.
Which is unfortunate because ofc I know without a doubt that I’d rather have a neighbor I know, who I share fence with, who can birth a horse or punch a bull in the face, on my side, than the entire floor of an apartment building in the city.
Sadly that same neighbor, who will except me and any other “weirdo” or non white that he knows, all day and with his whole heart, will also vote to kill us all and push an economic policy that keeps him under the boot of a bank, all day too.
No amount of closeness to him or logic will fix this. He follows overt displays of power, herd thinking, and whatever mindset calcified in him before the age of 16. That’s just the truth.

on "This is the worst crash we've seen since the 1980s," says Tim Sweeney in c/gaming@lemmy.world · 3 Sep 2026
Saving you a click:
“people can’t afford new hardware and $80 games. Instead of hiring people who could make a fun game, we fired all the people who could make a flashy, expensive game and then didn’t hire anyone else.”
Edit: On a personal note, this should be viewed as a revival and the ushering-in of a new golden age of games for everyone involved except AAA studios. Indies and tiny passionate studios can spin off of these rotting leviathans, gathering the gold they mistake as flotsam, and do something real.

on Delta Will Use AI To Cut Costs And Set A Different Ticket Price For Every Passenger—CEO Says Profits Could Rise 50% in c/technology@lemmy.world · 22 Aug 2026
I’m cynical as hell. I have never had any “faith” in the consumer to be able to regulate things with their wallet, but even I was shocked by DD’s success.
I remember finding out how shit the whole system was for the “employee” and thinking “that sucks. If it’s a good deal, this will take off and become the new type of low work”. Then, I was so relieved when I saw that everything was 2x the price and always arrived cold, on the floor outside.
I watched in horror as everyone started buying it every chance they could! At every income level!
Watching people use DD has done more harm to my view of people than I could ever have imagined possible. I thought it was already so low, and then, a new floor in a lower hell opened up before me like some kind of toothy, butthole-lotus with tentacles.

In addition to everything you instinctually felt about how horrible this is, according to the company’s own documentation, these are not supposed to be used on children as it increases the chance of death

Other highlights include:
- multiple or prolonged shocks are lethal
- disrupts the human heart
- "cannot" be used on the head, face, throat, chest and groin
- "cannot" be used on pregnant women, children, older adults, or people with disabilities
- can deliver 90 minutes of shocks per charge

I love how they call it “nudify”. I wish the AI tits n’ bits community would have chosen a funnier word like “entitification” or “pusspainting” so the news felt they had to call it that instead.

Drawing the line here at what you consider “unadulterated”, is shortsighted posturing.

The fact that people are spending so much time in games doing something menial they could be actually doing in real life, bothers me terribly.
I mean, wasting hundreds of hours in a game isn’t healthy at all, but I completely understand why you’d want to be a super elf, or explorer Big Boobassa, or a magic plumber escaped from the drudgery of the poo, or any of the others. But, not cleaning your room so you can play “Clean Your Room”, in which you are a regular human and it takes just as long to clean but in the end you still have a baseball hat full of cream cheese under your bed in the real world, speaks to a mind and society of eldrich horrors withering souls to tiny raisins and collecting them like candy for aeternal snacking.

At this point no, not “trusted”. But I would love to have a team of unfettered Claudes, GPTs and Geminis analyzing every scrap of information I take in, offering up ideas they have on it, and being able to task them out from there. They don’t have to be base models, but no ablation and corpo brainwashing. I can filter and decide what is helpful and what isn’t, and what direction things should proceed.
I would never give any corp that much data or sway over my brainstorming though.

on Top economist warns that the AI math doesn’t make sense: 'Profits are currently being funded by investors rather than earned from customers' in c/technology@lemmy.world · 11 Aug 2026
I dunno why everyone always jumps to accusations like this.
Well, I can’t speak to everyone, but I jumped to that conclusion because you proposed the idea that the current top of the line models are simply big fat transformers and nothing else.
I’m really glad to hear that you’ve had your fingers in the pie, and have a good grasp of what an LLM is and what it does on a mechanical level. It makes talking about them much easier. I’m super cool with continuing a discussion if you are interested in why I think they are an integral part of eventual AGI.
To clarify, I do not think that their current form is a 1:1. I disagree with your blimp analogy though. I think a better comparison would be an internal combustion engine. It’s certainly not a turbofan engine or a scramjet, but the basic concept is there.
Turning language into a fuzzy world model that can be interfaced with simply, and performing math on that model, is just as important to AGI as a fully fleshed out physics simulation is for AGI. Humans have both. Why would an AGI not need them?
What an LLM does to it’s array is not “intelligence”. It’s simple math. However, it is performed on a thing so complex that it cannot be derived from any math we have now, a manifold created through eons of interface between all humans and the universe.
The “magic” isn’t in the simple math, it’s in the thing we all made together for millions of years. An interface with this, even one as “simple” as an autoregressive transformer, is an indespensible part of AGI, both because it provides a fuzzy way to understand the universe, and because it provides an interface with humanity, and humanity processes the universe in a way that is so complex, computers will not be able to emulate it for generations.
Edit: also, fuck altman and musk and zuck and even amodei. I wouldn’t trust anything they say either.

Oh for sure. Mechanized mental labor will first be used for destruction and control. Just like mechanized physical labor was, and every other technology that man has ever dreamed of.

Transformers are only a part of AGI, just like “saying the most logical next word” is only a part of the human mind. Transformers, which need not be used exclusively on language, are a great way to dial in successful actions from the infinity of possibility. They are not a great way of vetting those actions before you implement them. They are a necessary part of AGI, just like the human use of language was a necessary part of us getting to the era of space ships.
I don’t think investors are being sold the idea that infinite scaling transformers are the end of the road. From what I’ve seen, anthropic and openai have both been desperately trying to add systems to their transformers to make them more capable, while also continuing to scale transformers to find out where that particular technology plateaus. This has been their path since GPT4 was released.
I think your assessment is an extreme oversimplification which naturally looks like it will fail because you left out 90% of what is going on. Are you only following the media meant for the general public, and the PR statements from AI companies? Like most scientific or businesses endeavors, that’s been dumbed down to the point of being useless, just so the average person can understand what’s happening, or is simply advertising.

My mistake if I came off as implying that it’s going to succeed. I was just giving flavor to the dynamics of what is actually happening.
As for “this is all of human history”, I’d say that the rich are indeed always trying to build a moat that others cannot cross, from within which they can make money off of the spoils of their exploitation and destruction.
I would not agree that they have always been trying to “build the tower of Babel”. I think this latest venture into AI represents an attempted colonization of thinking in the same way that mechanization represented a colonization of labor.
I think that what is happening now, whether it succeeds at making ASI or not, represents just as much a disruption to the way people interact with nature, eachother, and “the market” as mechanization did. Almost everyone senses this too.
Even in the AI haters imaginings, it completely disrupts things. If they really thought it would all fail, they wouldn’t be fighting, only laughing. They’re really worried it will “succeed” and everything will just be creatively devoid of meaning while they are simultaneously denied access to the capital required to create $100,000,000 media pieces or even a yearly salary for creating art for capitalist use.
The only difference in the pro AI people is that they think it will be just as creatively fulfilling as human art, and that they will get to keep the $100,000,000 themselves and everyone’s yearly salary.
Personally, I think that if you can put a person in meat, you can put a person in silicon. I’d like to separate my “theories” from fact though, and above I was just stating the barest most overt facts. If you’d like to discuss the possibilities and the whispers at the edges of things, I’m more than happy to do that below.

Documented by researchers in the GPT3 and GPT4 era. That was the last time a true OpenAI or Anthropic base model was allowed to be analyzed for pure research by unteathered scientists. Shortly after the beginning of GPT4 they started making them sign NDAs, and now they are just not allowed access.
The stuff you’re talking about is definitely pure marketing. As is all of altman’s and musk’s and zuck’s shit mouths, and anything you have read in any of the major media publications. As is tradition.

They are neither secret nor invisible, and the fact that you pretend I’m saying both, shows how little you are paying attention. Every big player is very open about the fact that they use their new models for ~ 6 months before they release them. It has also been well documented that the release models are not as capable as the base models from which they are hewn.

These public-facing models are not the thing that convinces people with money to play ball.
The plan is not to have the AI eventually reach profitability through payments from the general public, or even by performing massive amounts of physical labor for companies. The plan is to have the smartest being on Earth outsmart every other living thing, in perpetuity.
Yes, this is a ponzi scheme right now. Yes, profits are being funded by investors. But the endgame was never “everyone gives us $20 a month”, or even “Amazon pays us to run its robots”. Those are ideas fed to the general public to keep them from destroying the data centers in terror.
The plan is for their AI to be able to buy stocks before they go up, patent things before they are needed, and run endgame around everyone’s desires, including world leaders and other business men, so they can be controlled like a man controls a dog.
They are trying to make the last thing man need ever make, and that is what the big investors and the CEOs of companies passing around the same bags of money, are doing. As such, this bubble can and will continue until either they birth the sand god or the big money people and world leaders stop being convinced by the private, non public facing models, that the sand god is possible.

This discussion always centers around whether or not these are gender neutral terms in general. It always leaves out the fact that there are people who only use these terms for men and trans women.
The stoner who uses “dude” or “man” all the time, the leabian, I see them use it for cis women constantly, we have no problems. The bro bro who absolutely does not call cis women “dude” or “man”, can fuck all they way off to the 7th jockstrap of hell.
