CEO of Google Says It Has No Solution for Its AI Providing Wildly Incorrect Information (futurism.com)

You know how Google's new feature called AI Overviews is prone to spitting out wildly incorrect answers to search queries? In one instance, AI Overviews told a user to use glue on pizza to make sure the cheese won't slide off (pssst...please don't do this.)...

That's just not how LLMs work, bud. It doesn't have understanding to improve, it just munges the most likely word next in line. It, as a technology, won't advance past that level of accuracy until it's a completely different approach.

I suspect you'd have a hard time training anyone to use software based on (say) a screenshot every sixty seconds. May be wrong.

jeeva ,

Apologies, I thought I'd seen 60 seconds but since looking I've found a bunch of guesses from "every few" to numbers with nothing that looks like a source in headlines.

Going to the source, I found:

are taken every five seconds while content on the screen is different from the previous snapshot.

Should have searched first, sorry!

To me, the difference there is that the jokes about snake oil and homeopathy, healing crystals, or essential oils are roughly the same - e.g. "what do you call X that works and has been peer reviewed? Medicine."

So far, there has been no equivalent positive usage in the crypto sphere. Medicine, though often administered to different levels, is a good idea in itself.

Actually, for most uses of crypto it's attempting to muddle in and "add" value to a previous known-good thing. Is the comparison here that crypto is snake oil currency, snake oil databases, or snake oil contracts? In every case, to me, crypto is the snake oil salesman trying to sell you the brighter tomorrow - without adding anything positive, and often getting the heck out of dodge (or folding a company and moving on to, e.g. LLMs) before delivering on promises.

Out of interest, have you seen the recent headlines around Windows 11 stopping working on unsupported hardware that it had been installed on anyway?

Or, to use your example, reviews that don't understand the product or play it for laughs. 😅

Court Bans Use of 'AI-Enhanced' Video Evidence Because That's Not How AI Works (gizmodo.com)

A judge in Washington state has blocked video evidence that’s been “AI-enhanced” from being submitted in a triple murder trial. And that’s a good thing, given the fact that too many people seem to think applying an AI filter can give them access to secret visual data.

I don't think loss is what people are worried about, really - more injecting details that fit the training data but don't exist in the source.

Given the hoopla Hollywood and directors made about frame-interpolation, do you think generated frames will be any better/more popular?

jeeva ,

Hold up. Digital zoom is, in all the cases I'm currently aware of, just cropping the available data. That's not reconstruction, it's just losing data.

Otherwise, yep, I'm with you there.

But it's a hellishly expensive thing that seems to not attract enjoyment from current Firefox users, and seems unlikely to bring new users, and (again) seems to be prioritised over other things that could better use the money, like developers, so...

Why.

alvaro , to Self Hosted - Self-hosting your services.

Is there a better ways to import Flac albums from bandcamp to a navidrome or jellyfin instance? I'm downloading and rsync'ing like a caveman and I suspect someone already solved this issue

Picard Musicbrainz is pretty awesome for recognising and then moving-to-the-right-place. I think it can also be automated, but I haven't got to that level of trust yet

jeeva ,

Really? Sent but not received, I guess? It seems like near any other method has things to show that you've sent it, that the server has received it, that the other user(s) received it, that they read it...

And images are... Well, very limited indeed. And costly, if we're talking MMS!

To me, it's definitely not the best choice - but I'm not in the states.
