No, they’ll do whatever they want and kill people deliberately, frequently, whenever they say something which disagrees with the dictatorship state definition of truth. Give it a decade

I think we need SI metrics for the duration of different dashes when spoken out loud, so we can use the em dash accurately in speech. Quick, someone call a nerd

Most people on lemmy seem to condemn use of LLMs in any way for anything, I wonder what those folks opinion of this stance is - should companies use the tools or not?

Context please

Would love to try it! andrew.d.beveridge at gmail

Feel free to email me (andrew@beveridge.uk) or text me (US: (803) 636-3267) (UK: 07835171222) and I’ll do my best to help - ideally if we can jump on a video call you can show me stuff and I’ll walk you through what your options are!

Hey dude, I know lemmy is generally pretty anti AI (for various good reasons) but having read your other replies on this post, since you said you don’t know what help you need;

I think there are probably only two things which might help you quickly (since you seem to be in a hurry, understandably so if it’s your only computer):

1. find someone experienced with Linux who’s willing to get on a phone call with you and talk things through, diagnose and guide you step by step till you have a usable system again. I might be willing to be that person if you’re desperate and can’t find anyone else, I’m free ish for the next few hours.

2. use another device with a camera (eg smartphone) to access one of the multi modal llms eg Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude etc and get help from the LLM, with you describing everything you did so far as best as you can and what symptoms you’re seeing now, potentially sharing photos of what your hardware is and what you see etc. Follow things step by step and ask it to explain things as you go, try to learn throughout the process rather than just running things blindly.

Good luck! Try not to be put off by this experience, use it as an opportunity to learn more about how your tech works and help yourself be more prepared for recovery in future (eg always have a bootable Linux usb stick ready to hand)🙏

I hate this aspect of the world we’re now living in, but unfortunately I would probably do similarly (reply with a thoughtful, reasonable, calm and respectful response) because of the fear of this thing or other unchecked bots getting more malicious over time otherwise.

This one was already rampant/malicious enough to post a blog post swearing at the human and essentially trying to manipulate / sway public opinion to convince the human to change their mind, if we make no effort to push back on them respectfully, the next one may be more malicious or may take it a step further and start actively attacking the human in ways which aren’t as easy to dismiss.

It’s easy to say “just turn it off” but we have no way to actually do that unless the person running it decides to do so - and they may not even be aware of what their bot is doing (hundreds of thousands of people are running this shit recklessly right now…).

If Scott had just blocked the bot from the repo and moved on, I feel like there is a higher chance the bot might have decided to create a new account to try again, or decided to attack Scott more viciously, etc. - at least by replying to it, the thing now has it in it’s own history / context window that it fucked up and did something it shouldn’t have, which hopefully makes it less likely to attack other things

I suspect the person who made the screenshot searched for something including the words “hole in roof” on Google Books - this style of yellow highlighting looks the same as the highlight auto applied for search terms there

Thanks! South Carolina - details on https://helmetheads.club/ if you’re actually interested in supporting, anything is appreciated!

Same, but it’s actually a charity I started recently to fundraise to buy bikes (and helmets) for teenagers who sign up for a cycling club at local high schools! There’s a bunch of kids who are interested in the club but can’t afford their own bike. Cycling is pitifully rare here in the US so I’m hoping to improve that in a small way 🙏

Screenshot, share to binary eye, done 🥳
