I like to ask a variety of questions, sometimes silly, serious, and/or strange. Never asking in an attempt to pester or “just asking questions” stuff.

I’m generally curious and/or trying to get a sense of people’s views.

ALostInquirer , to Technology in We have to stop ignoring AI’s hallucination problem

When I wrote "processing", I meant it in the sense of getting to that "shape" of an appropriate response you describe. If I'd meant this in a conscious sense I would have written, "poorly understood prompt/query", for what it's worth, but I see where you were coming from.

(AI confidently BSing)

Isn't it more accurate to say it's outputting incorrect information from a poorly processed prompt/query?

ALostInquirer , to Reddit in OpenAI strikes Reddit deal to train its AI on your posts

Asking similarly as I did with a Twitter post, because I think it's worth discussing (and people should want others to leave the corporate enclosures so info on the internet may move more freely):

How might we help and encourage people to leave Reddit?

ALostInquirer , to Technology in We have to stop ignoring AI’s hallucination problem

Why do tech journalists keep using the businesses' language about AI, such as "hallucination", instead of glitching/bugging/breaking?

ALostInquirer , to Science in “Nothing” doesn’t exist. Instead, there is “quantum foam”

What is the ontology of a concept or idea? If nothing doesn't exist materially but strictly conceptually, does it not exist or is there a different term one should employ to refer to it? 🤔

ALostInquirer OP , to Ask Science in Does sociology extend to other social animals besides humans?

Thanks for the pointers, I'll have to give'em a look! Eusociality does sound right in line with what I was wondering about, but hadn't heard of it before!

ALostInquirer OP , to Ask Lemmy in What's been an interesting safe for life linkhole you've found on the web recently?

I thought of "surfing the web" as more of a superficial approach personally. I was thinking more along the lines of "researching" or digging through sites with a similar topic but each went deeper or in different directions than the first.

Although on second thought and a little looking around, it looks like "net diver" never took off as its own term? What strange rocks have I been under? 😵

ALostInquirer , to Free and Open Source Software in Are there any WYSIWYG html editors? just curious

Have you seen Publii yet? Dunno how well it works on Linux, but there's a version for Linux as well.

ALostInquirer OP , to KDE in KDE Connect should only enable downloading files from allowed directories, right? [issue report found, may be very old notifications]

Fairly certain, as I hadn't downloaded anything on my phone when away from my PC that would have produced a notification to mirror. Also, sorry, I should have mentioned from the start that I typically run my phone in Do Not Disturb and Silent to minimize any notifications whatsoever.

On further digging I did notice that it looks as though the files mentioned in the notifications may have been downloads, but from literally years ago in, I think, every case (e.g. from 2018!). I don't think I even had Connect installed back then to have caught those notifications. 🤨

ALostInquirer , to Showerthoughts in Because of smartphones, pocket TVs were never a thing.

Would this require feeding it batteries like a triggerhappy machine gunner?

if you primarily watch videos with your smartphone, couldn't you call it a pocket tv?

ALostInquirer , to Technology in The Internet Archive's last-ditch effort to save itself

Isn't this simply a contrivance to uphold a questionable system?

ALostInquirer , to Selfhosted in The Immich core team goes full-time | Immich

What's a CLA?

ALostInquirer , to Technology in The Internet Archive's last-ditch effort to save itself

I just hope this pointless move won’t bring down the wayback machine.

What was the pointless move you're referring to?

ALostInquirer , to Programmer Humor in FLOSS communities right now

While I agree, what might everyday people use to set up forums as relatively easily and cheaply as their Discord servers, and not have them riddled with ads or other clunky elements?

I'm pretty sure those that may have even been considering forums went to Discord because the only other options were more involved in terms of set up/maintenance and cost, the latter to get something without ads.
