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.)...

The truth is, this is the perfect type of a comment that makes an LLM hallucinate. Sounds right, very confident, but completely full of bullshit. You can't just throw money on every problem and get it solved fast. This is an inheret flaw that can only be solved by something else than a LLM and prompt voodoo.

They will always spout nonsense. No way around it, for now. A probabilistic neural network has zero, will always have zero, and cannot have anything but zero concept of fact - only stastisically probable result for a given prompt.

It's a politician.

No,. another type of ML algo could, but not an LLM. It doesn't work like that.

On the other hand, I'm glad these are the issues we're combatting against, instead of a corrupt bipartisan government.

After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year (www.billboard.com)

When Bloomberg reported that Spotify would be upping the cost of its premium subscription from $9.99 to $10.99, and including 15 hours of audiobooks per month in the U.S., the change sounded like a win for songwriters and publishers. Higher subscription prices typically equate to a bump in U.S. mechanical royalties — but not...

I mean, Spotify is a great service for the consumer. One reasonable monthly fee for most of the music in the world.

If a similar video streaming service existed for 40€/month, I'd pay for it in a heartbeat. Now I have a plethora of arr apps and a vpn, and Plex. But it's a hassle sometimes.

We're all aware of the issues it created for the artists, and I'd be willing to double the fee if that money directly went to the artists, but this is where the capitalist model fails, as that won't maximize the profits for shareholders.

If we ever come up with a way to fix the underlying greed models that come with publicly traded companies, that would be great.

As it stands, it is what it is, but I'm glad we have this, instead of a "different Spotify per music publisher".

None of these have good app support compared to Spotify, sadly. Not supported by my car, nor my Linux desktop, or home speakers.

Oh and Deezer pays even less to artists than Spotify.

@red@sopuli.xyz avatar

Not sure about the ads? If you mean when the app notifies you about live gigs etc. then yeah, that's shittification. Luckily it doesn't happen on my desk or car, but I wish it didn't sometimes appear on my phone. That's the one thing that might push me to add music to my video streaming arr stack.

Not sure what the relevance of this comment was, considering what I said

@red@sopuli.xyz avatar

You'd be correct

@red@sopuli.xyz avatar

I'm not familiar with the free tier, but if you don't pay anything, I think ads are fine.

Paying and seeing ads is wrong on the other hand.

I was referring to the sharding that happened with video streaming services. It used to be Netflix had mostly everything, in the start, similar to Spotify. Now there are services per publisher that contain their own catalogues.

Fuck. That.

@red@sopuli.xyz avatar

Spotify isn't the only service currently.

Like I said in my op: it's good service for the consumer. It might not be if enshittification ensues.

But compared to video streaming, it's awesome.

The issue isn't the service model, but the capitalistic shit behind it, that attempts to maximize profits instead of paying artists fairly.

I'm in the same boat. I'm a paid Bitwarden user but I'd like to keep 2fa and passwords separated.

If no alternative soon, i'll just bite the bullet and put everything in bitwarden (except itself, ofc)

Polestar has already equipped vehicles with this tech.

@red@sopuli.xyz avatar

The PS5, and yeah still unreleased, but already driving prototypes out in the wild. They are using the companys tech mentioned in the article and hopefully we'll see widespread adoption after testing.

I'm usually sceptic, but for once these new battery inventions are actually already implemented, and not just on paper or in a lab.

    You could have read what the article was about, though.

    Comments no longer visible with youtube frontends?

    Are comments no longer visible for anyone else using the youtube frontends? I can no longer see comments with either invidious, piped, or viewtube, and I've tried several instances of each. With invidious there's just nothing there below the video description. With viewtube I get an error message. And with piped I see...

    That's weird because it's both the icon of the app, and the exact name.

    You are confusing freedom of discussion to using an specific instance with specific rules. Lemmy is clear proof of what you say is not true, and you are incorrect in your deductions of what/why and who.

    So what's the best way to scrub your reddit comments and posts?

    @red@sopuli.xyz avatar

    I guess I'll go the GDPR route in this case

    That's a terrible idea, as all your registered accounts on that mail address are now just one minimum wage customer service worker away from getting intercepted by a hacker. Just getting dns redirected is enough.

    Edit; Misread. Though you were selfhosting email.

    It's so weird to see this. Where I live, unions are a default. It should become the norm everywhere, not just in northern Europe.

    Not sure, but I do know the union stuff is very prominent in Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark

    You can uninstall the Xbox app. Why that's not done by your work domain admin is peculiar, or are you using random consumer installations?
