You don’t have any idea of how GPT works. Read about it and then we can talk.


Comparing current LLMs with autocomplete is stupid. An autocomplete can’t pass law or biology exams in the 90th percentile like GTP-4 can.


Where can I seek medical advice online?
Recently, I found myself questioning the accuracy of a diagnosis provided by a doctor I visited. Surprisingly, an AI seemed to offer a more insightful assessment. However, I understand the importance of not solely relying on AI-generated information. With that in mind, I'm eager to discover a reputable online platform where I can seek medical advice. Ideally, I hope to find a community where I can obtain multiple opinions to make a more informed decision about my health. If anyone could recommend such a site, I would greatly appreciate it.

French Courts Are Giving Protesters INSANE Sentences
French courts have been imposing disproportionately severe sentences for minor offenses, including 10 months in prison for stealing a can of Red Bull and one year for a homeless boy with schizophrenia caught looting a luxury store. The overwhelmed courts rush cases, provide minimal time for defendants, and prioritize punishment under the instruction of the Justice Minister. Furthermore, the French government is censoring social media and justifying it by claiming to protect public order, but it infringes upon free speech and mirrors tactics used by authoritarian regimes. The justice system exhibits a double standard, favoring the privileged, and creates a class divide, leading to unrest. Ironically, the government compares itself to oppressive nations while undermining democratic principles.

Hopefully there are some people more positive than that, willing to change society so AGI doesn’t make most humans starve to death or be imprisoned.


You can’t claim it’s different either, so? I’ll still claim whatever the fuck I want.





Locked in a room with an internet connection? A lot. But without any contact with the outside world? Not nearly as much. It could have other people running experiments for it with an internet connection, but not without one.

Anyway, whether or not the AGI can interact with the real world undermines the purpose of my explicit statement in the question. I specifically mentioned that it only operates as a human on a computer. I didn’t mention it could acquire a physical body, so let’s just assume it can’t and can’t use other people to do physical labor either.


I heard disruptive science is slowing down which I think means pretty much everything possible has already been thought of. So talking about things that exist, do you mean a cheaper solar panel or wind/water turbine? Or are we talking about science fiction like an Arc Reactor?



This sounds like science fiction. Even if the AGI were capable of creating plans for a fusion reactor, for example, you would still need to execute those plans. So, what’s the point of everyone having access to the plans if the same electrical companies will likely be responsible for constructing the reactor?


I honestly think that with an interesting personality, most people would drastically reduce their Internet usage in favor of interacting with the AGI. It would be cool if you could set the percentage of humor and other traits, similar to the way it’s done with TAR in the movie Interstellar.


I wouldn’t be surprised if corporations just asked the AI to make as much money as possible at the expense of everything else. But people like living in capitalist countries anyways, while complaining about the lack of safety nets. Otherwise they would move to countries like China, North Korea or Cuba.


The kind that uses gas? I honestly wouldn’t have thought someone would be interested in open-sourcing this. I would prefer if it designed an open-source Roomba or, while we’re at it, a robot body so that it could perform more tasks. But you would still have to build it yourself.


Imagine an AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) that could perform any task a human can do on a computer, but at a much faster pace. This AGI could create an operating system, produce a movie better than anything you've ever seen, and much more, all while being limited to SFW (Safe For Work) content. What are the first things you would ask it to do?

I always see german posts in english because of the the web translation extension. The only reason I know it’s german is because of the language tag.



Lemmy could have a filter so that people don’t have to read content they don’t want
I thought it was a great idea when I read it in [this comment](https://lemdro.id/comment/108908). That way, if you didn't want to hear about Reddit, you wouldn't have to.

What would a hybrid between Lemmy and booru-style image boards be like? Why doesn’t it exist?
Both platforms offer unique features, but also come with limitations. While Lemmy offers diverse content, it lacks robust tag metadata for organizing and searching images. On the other hand, boorus excel at categorizing images with tags but lack the discussion and the diverse content from Lemmy. Why haven't we seen a platform that combines the best of both worlds? How do you envision it would be like?

To me the only benefit in defederation is in blocking instances with illegal content. I would never use StackOverflow if there was a chance of not seeing the top answer to the questions I search.


What are the incentives for hosting a Lemmy instance?
The primary incentive that comes to mind is improved availability. Often, instances can become slow, so I use another. By hosting a local instance I could always have a smooth experience. Scores are federated, resulting in a consistent global feed across instances and a lack of uniqueness for each instance. I wish hosting an instance provided a more customized experience like [this](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3477). It would be a great incentive.

I had planned to use it as a replacement for my desktop, but I encountered a few issues while installing some of the programs I usually use. As a result, I decided to utilize it for self-hosting certain programs instead.

This reminds me of:

An Entire Generation is Studying for Jobs that Won’t Exist

AI is taking over a lot of jobs, now it is coming for the writers who wrote about “machines taking over the world.”

By Mohit Pandey

TLDR: The increasing capabilities of AI are making many jobs obsolete, including those that require coding. Hollywood writers are protesting the use of AI in scriptwriting, as they believe it diminishes their role and creativity. The Writers Guild of America (WGA) is negotiating proper attribution and copyright issues regarding generative AI technology. Some argue that computer science degrees will become more important as understanding AI systems will be crucial. However, economists suggest that AI will displace jobs over time rather than causing instant mass unemployment. The need for humans to be trained in AI to be unbiased and proficient is emphasized. The disruption caused by AI is evident in layoffs across various industries. The potential of AI to eliminate jobs is a concern, but others believe it can create new job opportunities. IBM, for example, has announced it will replace 7,800 roles with AI. The future of jobs remains uncertain, but instead of rejecting AI, industries should consider incorporating it to enhance their work.


I’m also conflicted, I’ve saved this post for now, maybe I decide to use the extension at some point.

What features would you want in a decentralized gaming platform similar to Steam?
Hey everyone! I noticed that the discussions around the recently released self-hosted alternative to Steam and Origin, have been focused on its controversial name. Let's shift the conversation and talk about the features you would like to see or wouldn't care about in this software.

Why haven’t we seen forums move to Lemmy despite the availability of a forum-like UI?
I recently came across [LemmyBB](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmyBB), a frontend for Lemmy that is based on the popular forum software phpBB. It seems like a great way to bring the familiar forum experience to the federated world of Lemmy. However, I haven't seen any significant migration of forums to Lemmy using this UI. What could be the reasons behind this? Are there any technical or usability issues that are preventing forums from adopting LemmyBB and moving to the Lemmy platform?

What Will Be the Singularity Endgame: Utopia, Dystopia, Collapse, or Extinction? Why?
The Singularity is a hypothetical future event where technology growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible, leading to unpredictable transformations in our reality[^1^]. It's often associated with the point at which artificial intelligence surpasses human intelligence, potentially causing radical changes in society. I'd like to know your thoughts on what the Singularity's endgame will be: Utopia, Dystopia, Collapse, or Extinction, and why?

Benefits and Disadvantages of Self-Hosting Invidious?
I lost my YouTube history, as mentioned in [this message](https://gist.github.com/yewtudotbe/c16a69ddad88a37c2a364a5ff5359197), and I am considering self-hosting my own instance to prevent this from happening again. However, I have a few concerns. Will I lose the privacy benefits that come with using another instance? If I make my instance public, will I be sharing bandwidth? Should I use the available package on Manjaro or follow the [installation instructions](https://docs.invidious.io/installation)?

I recently came across a torrent that seems to be [an archive of Reddit](https://btdig.com/7c0645c94321311bb05bd879ddee4d0eba08aaee). It got me thinking if it would be possible to make it locally browsable. However, I also considered the possibility that someone might have already addressed this by creating a public Lemmy instance, enabling the content to be accessible from any federated instance.
