In-reply-to » My view is, if we ever get to a point that a true “AI” can be created, something that can entirely learn new concepts by itself and exponentially expand it’s own knowledge base without being told to do so (basically what I would consider sentient at that point), humans won’t know about it until it’s significantly too late to stop it. I think that’s where the general hysteria comes from, but for now I’ll use these LLMs to spit out lists of cyber security controls to make my work that little bit easier

HahahHah automating your own job huh 😆

@dkordic@twtxt.net There’s a reason for that. Most of it was done by me, and I really really suck at UI/UX 🤣 Fortunately folks like @darch@neotxt.dk and @screem@twtxt.net and @markwylde@twtxt.net help a lot, but ultimately the web interface was originally done by whatever crappy ass UI/UX skillz I happen to have 😅 – I welcome anyone to create a better UI/UX, looking at you @markwylde@twtxt.net that I hope we can just have hosted at https://yarn.social/app or https://app.yarn.social that lets you connect to any Yarn.social’s Pod backend API 👌 – OTOH as a vision impaired person though I kind of like the simplicity of what we’ve done so far, and we strive to keep it a simple server-side-rendered UI (SSR).

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci True, there’s no argument there will be some “utility’ from these LLM(s) – It will be even more useful when most folks can run them (maybe at a smaller scale) on “edge” computing on modest hardware.

In-reply-to » @prologic I tend to agree with you, and it's one of the reasons why I did evolutionary computation in my PhD. My PhD advisor was big on the idea that even though we don't know what life or intelligence is well enough to make it from scratch, maybe we can set up an artificial world in which (simulated) life can "emerge" from the primordial soup, so to speak. I thought that idea was pretty compelling and I worked on it for awhile. It's why I, too, and frustrated by the term "AI" and how it's slapped onto anything these days. Some of the stuff that people call AI right now would have been called "an algorithm" or "a computer program" not so long ago 😆

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci It’s actually one of the aspects of the “family of machine learning” that I find the most intriguing. If you’ve ever played the game Creates (I haven’t, but know a lot about it), it was an amazing piece of work. I’d love to work on something like this one day or see something like it at a much larger scale 👌

Wake me up when we can run these LLM(s) and similar models on the energy requirements of a Raspberry Pi 🤣

Basically what I’m trying to say is this… If it takes multiple Gigawatts of power to run even the “smarter” and “most useful” AI models today, we’re fucked.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Oh I don’t accept the marketing hype at all. The thing that I always fall back on is the insane amount of power that it takes to runs these fuckings tupid ass models that are nothing more than (okay admittedly a bit fancier than the ones a few decades ago, but mostly based on the same mechanics) “algorithms” that take data in and spit data out. The shocking part for me is comparing the insane power and energy requirements of even the largest “AI” models in the world and comparing that with the energy/power requirements of running (for example) the brain of a rat.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci You are right of course. I don’t think we can consider anything thus are to be remotely close to “intelligence”, it actually frustrates me that we can call these fields “AI”, we should call them what they are, “machine learning”, they’re just fancy algorithms many of which are pretty good at “pattern matching”.

As for what we define as “intelligence”, fucked if I know 😅 I doubt anyone else can define this either. I tend to believe that until we figure out how to create “something” that can have a sense of self-awareness and self-growth and a way to expand and “reprogram” itself, we’ll never get very far. Really “evolutionary life” simulations or “artificial life simulations” are much closer I think.

This is a case of GIGO right? Garbage In, Garbage Out? I mean the hype around these stupid LLM(s) (Large Language Models) are just that, a trained model. I will spit out stuff on what it already has patterns defined for. Right @abucci@anthony.buc.ci ? 🤔 (who is more knowledgeable about this than i) – I have yet to see anyone even come remotely close to the kind of intelligence we se in sci-fi films, this so-called AGI?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I really wish Russell Cox and co would seriously reconsider what they are doing with the language and toolchain. They seriously risk affecting the reputation of Go here in ways that cannot be predicted (just look at history for some examples). I can seriously see a Go fork coming out of this.

In-reply-to » The host got updated and is now running a new version of Docker and Portainer. It seems to be, that the issues with containers not being started have been addressed. All containers started successfully, except the one for Yarn.social. It is still a mystery to me why this is not working as it should. Maybe it is because I am running yarn.social through a compose/stack configuration? Perhaps I should set it up as a container directly.

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net What does it show when it doesn’t start?

I still don’t want my compiler going and automatically downloading a new version. I didn’t know Scala does this 😆

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh my god! 😱 wut da actual fuq?! Is Russ okay? 🤔 This is all kinds of nuts really. Can’t we just keep Go simple. it happens to be one of it strengths, adding all kinds of “magical”™ shit to the Go toolchain is just crazy 🤦‍♂️

In-reply-to » can I post on yarn through curl?

To securely login and authenticate to the API and set YARND_TOKEN env var for later use:

IFS= read -rsp 'Password: ' password; payload="$(jq -cnr --arg password "$password" '{username: "admin", "password": $password}')"; export YARND_TOKEN="$(curl -s -d "$payload" http://localhost:8000/api/v1/auth | jq -r '.token')"
