ИИ — просто мешок слов. Как перестать видеть интеллект там, где его нет

#ai #LLM

Наука — это «задача сильного звена»: даже если мы произведём в миллион раз больше посредственных исследований, окажемся там же, где и сейчас.
Если нам нужно больше действительно сильных работ, чем же наполнять "мешок" LLM? Можно забивать его статьями, но часть из них — сфабрикованы, часть — просто ошибочны, и все они содержат неявные допущения, которые могут оказаться ложными.
К тому же часто не хватает ключевой информации — нет данных, недостаточно подробно описаны методы.

Предприниматель Маркус Страссер, пытавшийся сделать компанию из серии «положим все статьи в "мешок" → ??? → профит», в итоге отказался от затеи, заявив, что «почти ничего из того, что действительно делает науку наукой, не опубликовано в виде текста в интернете».

Даже лучший "мешок" в мире бесполезен, если в него не положить правильные вещи.

ИИ — просто мешок слов. Как перестать видеть интеллект там, где его нет

Или: Claude, пойдёшь со мной на выпускной?Слушайте, я не знаю, уничтожит ли нас когда-нибудь искусственный интеллект, сделает ли он нас всех богатыми или что-то...

Who Let The Dogs Out 🐾

#ai #LLM

«Мешок слов» — не супруг, не наставник, не босс и не раб. Это инструмент. Его предназначение — снимать с нас рутину и усиливать наши способности. Его социальный статус — отсутствует; бессмысленно спрашивать, «лучше» ли он нас. Настоящий вопрос такой: становимся ли мы лучше, когда им пользуемся?

🚨Our governments are about to decide whether 450M Europeans deserve privacy - or not.

Help ensure your country says NO to Chat Control: Call you local representatives!

Privacy is not negotiable. Speak up now. ✊ #privacy

👉 More on how to stop Chat Control: tuta.com/blog/chat-control-cri…

Map of the EU showing what countries are in favor (red), in opposition (green) and undecided (yellow) about Chat Control. The undecided ones must be contacted to stop Chat Control: Estonia, Germany, Greece, Slovenia, Luxembourg, Romania. While the Swedish government leans in favour of chat control, it needs parliamentary approval.

Chat Control is back & we've got two months to stop the EU CSAM scanning plans. | Tuta

Friday's episode of the podcast I do with my wife was a really fun one. Bit of a nostalgia trip, talking about things we collected as kids like Tamagotchis, Furbies and so on. If you haven't checked us out yet, please do. Might be something you enjoy. 51 episodes in and my wife and I talk about all sorts, never political, no sponsors, no ads, hopefully very little wasted time. If you've a mind, please pass it along as well, never know who's out there, who might be looking for something brand new to listen to.

This day in history...I mean present: first ever end-to-end encrypted message to be sent from a #dumbphone?

git.disroot.org/badrihippo/con…

Using #Convo on #KaiOS, powered by #ConverseJS, #XMPP, #OMEMO, and #libsignal :xmpp:

The same phone as in the previous message, but zoomed in a bit closer so you can see the screen a bit more clearly
Screenshot of a button with a cable sticking out from the top. On the screen is a chat conversation displaying the message: "hi from banana hopefully with omemo"

Activate libsignal-protocol.js 🎉 · c95d048c9d

This lays the groundwork for OMEMO support! Convo will now automatically generate OMEMO keys when you connect for the first time. Options to toggle OMEMO encryption, etc.
Disroot Forgejo: Brace yourself, merge conflicts ahead.

Libervia CLI tip 6:

Most commands have an `-O, --output` option to format the output. By default, the output is pretty formatted for humans, but you can output in JSON, XML, or other formats.

With `template` output you can use Jinja templates, either built-in ones (the ones used in the web frontend), or your own; useful to build static HTML pages/sites, or reformat the data the way you want.

Use `--help` to see available outputs

the Hunt brothers tried to corner the silver market and managed to acquire a third of it but when they couldn't get loans anymore and the exchange halted silver futures contracts it's not like they could just sit on their silver and only sell what they needed to cover their loan repayments. They couldn't sell it fast enough obviously and they weren't going to stop mining it. So it all spiraled and crashed.

TLDR They'll mine silver faster than you can buy it, it's not that scarce

@feld @SlicerDicer I don't know if you've been in a grow room (doo dee do) but they're hot (and humid).
If you're not in a place where it's legal to grow, IR is Often used (from the air) to find homes with Super Hot Spots.

The fun part Slicer is that it would seem they're STUPID easy to steal. (?!?)

Aside: When I was in Uni, every year they'd put sodium bulbs in the lamp posts over three or four bridges, and about two weeks after the quarter started, they would all disappear. A-MA-Zing.

On this day in 1966, Star Trek first beamed into living rooms across America. None of us could have imagined then the journey it would set us on. And not just the cast and crew, but the millions of fans who would find hope, inspiration, and community in its vision of the future.

Over the decades, I’ve been humbled and grateful for the love you’ve shown, not only to me, but to the ideals of Star Trek itself: diversity, unity, and the belief that together, humanity can boldly go where none have gone before. Thank you for your unwavering support and for keeping this dream alive all these years. Live long and prosper, always.

#deltachat is being used in virtually all world regions where one or more other messengers fail to work. We recently released a major milestone (V2 security hardening releases) that prepared the ground for chat profiles to have multiple #chatmail relays at once ... failure or blocking of a single relay would not disrupt chatting anymore. But multi transport also helps with the "centralization problem in decentralized systems" ... delta.chat/en/2025-06-04-surge…
(Funding is looking good currently btw!)

Delta Chat: A big user surge and funding for decentralized scale

Beginning June we witnessed a sudden surge of Delta Chat usage especially in the US and Cuba. We don’t know the social dynamics behind it but it probably helps that Delta Chat apps resiliently work...

Es ist total easy. Die Daten müssen nicht vorher von K9 Mail exportiert werden

#Thunderbird installieren und dann den Weg gehen, wie in den Screenshots zu sehen. Das auswählen, was aus #K9mail importiert werden soll - fertig 👌

I have been pushing for #Inkscape to remove/decommission it's Twitter account. But I didn't want to do it unilaterally, bossing people about, but through reasoned policy that can be applied to other captured banana-pants social media platforms.

So I've drafted a policy, which I'm interested in having more people look at as it's going to be one of those gnarly things that's important to get right:

What do you think? Worth while approach for a #foss project?

New Privacy Guides article :2001: ⛔
by me:

Chat Control is one of the
most terrifying proposal for dystopian authoritarianism the Western world has seen in years.

We need your help to fight it ✊🇪🇺

For democracy,
For privacy,
And for all other human rights,
We cannot afford to lose this battle.

📩 If you are European (EU):

Contact your MEPs and local media this week to tell them to oppose Chat Control (more information in the linked article).

🗣️ If you are outside of the EU:

Spread the word! Tell your friends and family in the EU about it! Make noise on social media! This will affect you too.

Chat Control is back to undermine everyone's privacy. There's an important deadline this Friday on September 12th. We must act now to stop it!
