Well, it is about LLMs and humans I believe. Don't forget that the first nuclear bomb tests were let go despite some of the scientists' concerns about possibility of dooming the world as they were not sure about all reactions that would happen.
With LLMs we don't even hesitate to call it black box while still pushing its capabilities.
My delineation is an argument for greater caution and agency, which it appears you are also arguing for.
I also mean to say that "LLMs" carry no inherent harm to humans. To make an LLM dangerous, humans must make it so. Is that the goal? This has implications for how to read TFA.
I wonder if and eventually when it will be possible for models to escape through a self-programmed ethernet adapter into the power grid. That could an end to any control over them.
I wonder if this is a native/non-native English reader situation. I'm the latter and for me the title promised that I will read about a server that now is capable of letting a person call to order a pizza. That was immediate thought.
It would be very interesting to see a poll results on how many of us thought that the article is about a server doing phone stuff and not a phone doing server stuff.
I don't think so either, as a native English speaker, I originally read this as my server now has phone capabilities, not my phone is now being used as a server.
I don't think it is, I'm also the latter and happened to assume the opposite. The article was exactly what I expected from the title.
I mean, turning a server rack into a phone just isn't something that makes any sense, so it didn't seem like a valid option to consider. I've thrown it at a few LLMs now to see what happens and they also make the same assumption with no extra info, that it's a server now being hosted on a phone. That's the statistics talking. It's very unlikely to be the opposite.
Of course it's clear which is more likely in this specific case, but from the semantic structure I read (present tense) it the other way around. It actually struck me as a grammatical error when I first read (past tense) it.
If I said "my water is ice now," one would assume freezing rather than melting.
So in this case one would assume a server became a phone, when actually a phone became a server.
I think most of the time you’d play with the order it would be for comic effect, like someone saying “my dinner is pretzels now” after having too big a snack.
In this case you have enough implicit context to correctly infer the meaning, but the particular sentence construction strongly implies that the server can now make phone calls.
Ok, so we're at the point that even design are just one-shot by AI. This is exact look and feel any time I ask it to present a HTML doc about anything.
They are far too small to have any chance of influencing education. The simpler explanation would be that there is a strong nationalist current. Think "our people are the best, let's make them even better and throw out the others"
Why wouldn't educated people be swept up by populism? They're human like the rest of us. Maybe you should stop thinking that having an education makes you a moral person, it just means you have an education.
I just assume that once people start seeing how the dots connect in some areas, they will be able to quickly see that the populists' dots are all over the place. I believe the educated populist are only the ones that try to drive move, not participate in one.
With LLMs we don't even hesitate to call it black box while still pushing its capabilities.
