Did not expect to see a Voosh video in my !technology@lemmy.world, hopefully folks here won’t be put off by his strong (but accurate) words to describe the situation.

More complex forms of reasoning in the context of “Reasoning Systems” is video game NPC Ai. They take the current game state and “reason” about what action they should take now or even soon in the future. Really good video game Ai will use your velocity to pre-aim projectiles at where you’ll be in the future instead of where you are currently. The NPC analogy is one of the very thing’s being described by the term

If you truly believe that you fundamentally misunderstand the definition of that word or are being purposely disingenuous as you Ai brown nose folk tend to be. To pretend for a second you genuinely just don’t understand how to read LLMs, the most advanced “Ai” they are trying to sell everybody is as capable of reasoning as any compression algorithm, jpg, png, webp, zip, tar whatever you want. They cannot reason. They take some input and generate an output deterministically. The reason the output changes slightly is because they put random shit in there for complicated important reasons.

Again to recap here LLMs and similar neural network “Ai” is as capable of reasoning as any other computer program you interact with knowingly or unknowingly, that being not at all. Your silly Wikipedia page is a very specific term “Reasoning System” which would include stuff like standard video game NPC Ai such as the zombies in Minecraft. I hope you aren’t stupid enough to say those are capable of reasoning

They can’t reason. LLMs, the tech all the latest and greatest still are, like GPT5 or whatever generate output by taking every previous token (simplified) and using them to generate the most likely next token. Thanks to their training this results in pretty good human looking language among other things like somewhat effective code output (thanks to sites like stack overflow being included in the training data).

Generating images works essentially the same way but is more easily described as reverse jpg compression. You think I’m joking? No really they start out with static and then transform the static using a bunch of wave functions they came up with during training. LLMs and the image generation stuff is equally able to reason, that being not at all whatsoever

No actually! Musks entire involvement with PayPal was being fired by the company he founded which then later down the road was bought out by PayPal when the people who fired him for incompetence turned it around and made it valuable enough PayPal wanted it

I mean should const not be the default? I do want to mutate objects sometimes but usually I just need a view of it’s state and not write access. It also makes mutable data a lot more obvious if whoever wrote the code your reading wasn’t putting const on stuff they should have been. Seems like something all languages with const semantics should have done

I presume you don’t live in the US because lol. Living is more expensive than ever before in history but shit like phones and TVs cheap yay?

What’s wrong with liking cuties?

Sometimes you don’t feel like eating a large orange.

Well they are an Ex chairman so hopefully that’s a good sign?

Very true the last ones weren’t going around spewing as many Nazi talking points

It’s not an assumption it’s just a matter of practical reality. If we’re at best a decade off from that point why pretend it could suddenly unexpectedly improve to the point it’s unrecognizable from its current state? LLMs are neat, scientists should keep working on them and if it weren’t for all the nonsense “Ai” hype we have currently I’d expect to see them used rarely but quite successfully as it would be getting used off of merit, not hype.

I did not always use an ad blocker. Frankly my stance is they’ve made their bed, now they get to lie down in it. If it wasn’t for YouTubes ad quality being so poor I would have never bothered taking the 30 seconds it takes to install an adblock those 10 or so years ago

Okay so imagine for a second that somebody just invented voice to text and everyone trying to sell it to you lies about it and claims it can read your thoughts and nobody will ever type things manually ever again.

The people trying to sell us LLMs lie about how they work and what they actually do. They generate text that looks like a human wrote it. That’s all they do. There’s some interesting attributes of this behavior, namely that when prompted with text that’s a question the LLM will usually end up generating text that ends up being an answer. The LLM doesn’t understand any part of this process any better than your phones autocorrect, it’s just really good at generating text that looks like stuff it’s seen in training. Depending on what exactly you want this thing to do it can be extremely useful or a complete scam. Take for example code generation. By and large they can generate code mostly okay, I’d say they tend to be slightly worse than a competent human. Genuinely really impressive for what it is, but it’s not revolutionary. Basically the only actual use cases for this tech so far has been glorified autocomplete. It’s kind of like NFTs or Crypto at large, there is actual utility there but nobody who’s trying to sell the idea to you is actually involved or cares about that part, they just want to trick you into becoming their new money printer.

It’s not controversial your just really stupid or really stupid and also a natzi

It hasn’t though? That short “film” in the thumbnail is very not great. Just to summarize a few issues clothing items randomly change colors, clothes randomly switch to different clothes, they attempted to copy the really nice crane shot in Frieren but used “AI” to do it which just smeared ugly green shit around the screen cause there were leaves, a path they are walking on randomly changes material multiple times, ect ect. All the usual AI video crap. They didn’t solve any of the issues it has and it there’s one “animator” credited.

Spoilers if you care (no I’m not going to actually mark them) but there’s a part where using AI would have been a really good directing decision, especially with the faults but because the “director” is just a tech bro who’s incapable of understanding art they completely missed an extremely good use case.

Actual animation studios don’t and won’t use this crap until it’s dramatically better. The closest thing they currently use is cacani (actually an interesting tool scroll through that) and it uses absolutely no “Ai” whatsoever

Because it sounds like English words which is “cool”

Eyy I just watched Red Ranger, extremely enjoyable for how stupid it is. I bet I’d have loved power rangers if I watched it as a kid

I can’t judge but wow. Impressive

You cannot have a string argument, arguments and variables in JS don’t have a type. All you have in JS is objects. Actual functions, like full on function foo(){} are still objects, like you can actually store data on the things.
