This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Check out Robert MILES' channel: he's an expert, one of the most prominent on AI safety
take your time to understand the mechanics of it, its a bit technical at times but ultimately very understandable
and try not to freak out when you find out it's from several years ago, mostly before the advent of LLMs
It's been reported a few times that Ukraine is already using AI for drones.
The human operator chooses the target, the AI takes over and eliminates the target.
Is that "just an LLM"?
Seems more capable than that to me. But, I don't know if this is actually true, or just a claim to frighten the Russians (and me).
It's just a freaking machine, unplug it lol
You can’t just “unplug” a data center, and probably mirrored campuses too.
I was being facetious
It’s what models people have access to and how they use it. If you are not specific and overly broad it a search engine. If you move to the other end of the spectrum it can be incredibly powerful.
I tend to build projects with very limited sources for it to draw answers from and use complex instructions to guide how it interacts with the source material. It’s a tool. If you learn how to use it you can become extremely proficient/productive with it.
For example, stacks of PDFs may make sense to you and I as repositories of information. But is that the best format for AI to interact with the data? Probably not unless the actual formatting of the information on the page is relevant. I have been converting large groups of sources into databases containing page, line, and text data for groups of references for a given topic. Then you feed it the database and ask it to review and cross reference related lines of text. That serves as your “brain” for questions on a given topic.
I follow you and that all makes sense.
