World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Luckily the only "AI" we have are LLMs which seem to have hit their peak, and probably will start corrupting itself with its own training data now that they've scoured the web clean.
LLM's on their own aren't much a concern. What is a concern is strapping weapons to one of those Boston Dynamics robots, loading an LLM, and training it to kill.
Governments already kill based on metadata — analyzed by statistical models — so the above isn't far from reality.
"Turn it on, let us kill our enemies"
immediately starts quoting Shakespeare
I am uncertain why you think an LLM would be well suited to this task - it's an inappropriate model for that function...
An LLM = machine learning. The language part is largely irrelevant. It finds patterns in 1's and 0's, and produces results based on statistical probability. This can be applied to literally anything that can be represented in 1's and 0's (e.g. everything in the known universe).
Do you not understand how that could be used to target "terrorists", or how it could be utilized by a killbot? They can fine tune what metadata = "terrorist", but (most importantly) false positives are a guaranteed mathematical certainty of statistical models, meaning innocent people are guaranteed to be classified as "terrorist". Then there's the more pressing concern of who gets to define what a "terrorist" is.
LLM (Large Language Model) != ML (Machine Learning)
LLM is a subset of ML, but they are not the same
That's quite frankly dumb as fuck. It doesn't change anything else I wrote. Do you also go around commenting Biology ≠ Chemistry? Algebra ≠ Math? I am very smart! Give me a break, internet "smart" loser.
OMG you are a fucking top tier wanker.

I think there’s still a lot of room to grow with LLMs, but nothing will ever be 100% trustworthy. Especially the human brain.
Speek four yurselve. I'm gud.
I am speaking for myself.
Whoosh.
🤷♂️
The human brain has curiosity and asks questions, which is the best way to learn. The LLM has no curiosity and is just fed data, which is the worst way to learn.
The human brain is only as good as the data it has ingested. And I would argue humans are wrong more often than LLMs
Can you provide evidence to that effect? And can you prove that what they get wrong is on the same level of error as LLMs?
Can you provide evidence to the contrary?
I’m just going to ask ChatGPT to answer you, and unless you can come up with some kind of scientific study, you’ll lose. 🤪
That's not the way it works. It's not my job to prove your claims are wrong.

They do this all the time, it's really gross, take it as a badge of honor.
