But that is what the whole discussion is about. Many scenarios aren't just gambling because they have a degree of predictability to it: poker, stock market, betting on the day when the US starts WW3.

Probably only quantum processes are truly random, but for this argument, processes are practically random if the governing variables are not human-knowable. A dice throw, roulette, lottery numbers drawn from a bowl. They are deep down deterministic, but not predictable to any degree.

how did you come to this conclusion? betting on scenarios that are purely random are just gambling.

I mean, it is both?

Seems a bit shallow to tie that much of your identity to reading books. who cares if you read?

what makes you think advances in LLMs have anything to do with ML for Computer vision? If you wanted the latter, you would've gotten that way cheaper than by training on reddit text.

12 upvotes for this thin conspiracy theory, congrats Lemmy.

I'm thinking more broadly. Think about WiFi mapping for localization, crowd sourced geo data like traffic warnings, health data tracking, cashless payment, smart home applications, etc. All of them provide real benefit to people but right now, they are a facade for corporate profit interests.

honest question to a philosophy major, why is it so clear cut to you that LLMs are not sentient? what is missing in current systems?

it baffles me how many people in here apparently don't have the reading comprehension to understand your second sentence. I swear Lemmy is even dumber than reddit.

You are refuting something that wasn't said. of course Turing machines cannot compute everything.

i think that a lot recently. so many great technologies that cannot be trusted in the hands of corporations. and sadly, people then reject technology instead of demanding a version in public domain.
