My biggest gripe with Webp. If people just add support like Jpg, Png, Tiff, ect. then I could just use it like any other image without having to open with a browser.
Some of the high concept type of spells you can make eventually is insane. You truly can play with forbidden magic except it's sawblades and nukes.
Noita just has that genuine sense of awe and exploration I've only experienced in OuterWilds (Also a really good game, progression is story and information based, do not spoil).
Besides that I'm currently playing Paper Mario for the first time (I don't know if remakes count on this sub).
Also Noita, if you like exploration and tinkering, and can find humor in dying a lot to physics or yourself, then I highly recommend. You could sink endless hours into it; beating the main portion of the game is jokingly referred to as the "tutorial".
Ironically the business people are terrible at business. I genuinely think LLMs (despite their economic evils) are stunning pieces of technology.
But they are money sinks and the only plans for profit are subscriptions or advertisements. It's Social Media/Streaming/Tech Startups panicked hype investing all over again. Subscriptions and advertising just simply do not pay the bills for huge server and gpu farms.
But sustainability isn't what they want is it? They want the stock to go up to then cash out when it's about to fall. sigh
Microsoft's bread and butter has been selling and servicing to businesses.
So with that in mind, the hell are they thinking? Windows 10 end of life guarantees that businesses specifically will have to switch. Then the next option in line is one that will by default vacuum up all your proprietary information to feed into an AI, effectively "copyright laundering" it?.
Even if there's ways to deactivate the feature, the non-tech savvy managers will just go off of the headlines and the tech savvy ones will recognize the security risk. And government/healthcare computer might just fork Linux into a non-open source version.
Ironically it feels like they're focusing too much on consumers (on extorting them) and shooting themselves in the foot for their business clientele.
In terms of LLM hallucination, it feels like the name very aptly describes the behavior and severity. It doesn't downplay what's happening because it's generally accepted that having a source of information hallucinate is bad.
I feel like the alternatives would downplay the problem. A "glitch" is generic and common, "lying" is just inaccurate since that implies intent to deceive, and just being "wrong" doesn't get across how elaborately wrong an LLM can be.
Hallucination fits pretty well and is also pretty evocative. I doubt that AI promoters want to effectively call their product schizophrenic, which is what most people think when hearing hallucination.
Ultmately all the sciences are full of analogous names to make conversations easier, it's not always marketing. No different than when physicists say particles have "spin" or "color" or that spacetime is a "fabric" or [insert entirety of String theory]...
I'm a bit annoyed at all the people being pedantic about the term hallucinate.
Programmers use preexisting concepts as allegory for computer concepts all the time.
Your file isn't really a file, your desktop isn't a desk, your recycling bin isn't a recycling bin.
[Insert the entirety of Object Oriented Programming here]
Neural networks aren't really neurons, genetic algorithms isn't really genetics, and the LLM isn't really hallucinating.
But it easily conveys what the bug is. It only personifies the LLM because the English language almost always personifies the subject. The moment you apply a verb on an object you imply it performed an action, unless you limit yourself to esoteric words/acronyms or you use several words to overexplain everytime.
Unfortunately the spam arms race has destroyed any chance of search going back to the good ole days. SEO and AI content farms means we'll need a whole new system to categorize webpages, as well as filter out human sounding but low effort spam.
Point being, it's no longer enough to find a page that's relevant to the topic, it has to be relevant and actually deliver information, which currently the only feasible tech that can differentiate those is LLMs.
In fact I think there's a missed opportunity for EVs to partner with long distance public transit.
The main limitations of electric cars is distance, but if people knew they could go across the state or several states comfortably without their car, they might be more willing to take a electric car for city driving.
There was a weird incident in class where a good amount of my classmates, including some who were POC, believed that black people were biologically more aggressive based on anecdotal experience.
I'm white but I was arguing against this because it made no sense. As a possible explanation I argued that black communities are typically poorer because of history (slavery, segregation, ect) and that poor and desperate communities are whats more likely to be violent.
It seemed to get them to pause for a moment. I'm sure I wasn't as nuanced as I'd be now but I was a dumb reactionary teenager talking to dumb reactionary teenagers.
