@kaia frankly, i see too many people moving around in cars who never even learned to cross the country on foot. this will lead to a complete loss of walking skills.

How long can people be in denial about this? Eliza was a very simple pattern matching system that tried to emulate the rather content-less psychonalytical therapy talk ("tell me about your father"). Current LLMs are nothing like it. You can give them tasks that everybody would have seen as requiring intelligence two minutes ago, and they can hold sensible conversations about nearly any topic.
Saying that that isn't intelligence is like saying that actually, airplanes do not really fly, because flying in biological systems involves flapping wings, and airplanes don't do that. So it might look like flight but it really is something different.
OK, i don't care about the word you use for that ability, but when you have a machine that can talk to you and work together with you to solve hard problems that would absolutely have required another human before, that's a lot more than a markov chain or a "you mentioned crying. how does that make you feel?" text matcher.
@kaia it has a command line application that you chat with and it works on the local repo for you, or you let it do online on GitHub. I only use the local repo version.
@newt sure, but that's your employer's problem. maybe their code is legitimately so secret that it can't touch anything else, that's alright. but if it isn't, keeping it away from LLMs will make it less secure and less efficient, which can't help in the long run.
@mischievoustomato people who don't use it really have no idea. they post their 'too many fingers' jokes and some random instance from 3 years ago when chatgpt 1 wrote fizzbuzz wrong.
cool idea, training LLMs only on data that's older than 100 years

lainMeta has released SAM (Segment Anything) for audio. This essentially means that you can take an audio source and split it up into the different audio sources it's made up from. Want to do a fan dub? remove all the voices but keep the sound effects and music intact. Want to stream a game with copyrighted music? Just remove it while keeping the rest.
@mischievoustomato weirdly, the training tended to generate nude pictures after a while, probably becuase she's nearly nude in so many pictures, so in contrast to pictures without the trigger word, it'll keep undressing.
