Hey @hellomiakoda for some reason the whole text is shown in strike through in my client (standard web client) and therefore hard to read. Is this intentional? (IT might be a problem on my side)
Just read an article from an #ai influencer musing on the Innovative power of AI. (Edit 2: while linked articles a current / May 2025 they refer to an event in 2017 🤪 )
Tasked with breaking the Enigma code, an AI system trained to recognise German using Grimm’s fairytales, utilizing 2,000 virtual servers, cracked a coded message in 13 minutes.
Let's pause for a second to let it sink.
And let's think for a second
Alan Turing “Bombes” could decipher two messages every minute.
😱 Suddenly the AI result isn't all that impressive any more. AI cuts out all the research, knowledge gain, and insight. With all the resources available today, it still performs worse than a solution from 70 years ago (to be precise 26 times). And this is seen as an impressive innovation 🤡🤯
@mkj@blogdiva I believe the term was coined by the 2021 artificial intelligence research paper "On the Dangers of Stochastic Parrots: Can Language Models Be Too Big? 🦜" by @emilymbender , @timnitGebru et al
@hakan_geijer I struggle a bit with your recommendation. I think fascism is in part possible if nobody speaks out.
So IMHO there are certain times (and positions) were speaking out is essential and your advice to STFU is equally essential for other times. In the end it is your "individual" threat model which leads the decisions
@mekkaokereke There is is a difference between baking powder and baking soda? I thought that the German term "Backpulver" (Back Pulver is literally translated baking powder) was baking soda 🙃, chemically been something carbonate*)
Now I'm puzzled🤔
Update: looked it up and everything is fine again 😅
@ryanc Additionally even the most astute person can fall for social engineering. And helpfully do everything the "technical support" needs to diagnose and fix the "problem"
@elmyra@aral So much better 🤬 Here in Germany it's AFAIK 60 (so you still win) Depending on your doctor and a possible willingness to pay yourself you can get the shit even if you are younger
