Me? How can I move goalposts in a single sentence? We’ve had no previous conversation… And I’m not agreeing with the previous poster either…

I was going to add a note about the exception of video games but decided I’m digressing
LLMs reproduce the form of language without any meaning being transmitted. That’s called parroting.
Even if (and that’s a big if) an AGI is going to be achieved at some point, there will be people calling it parroting by that definition. That’s the Chinese room argument.
AI hasn’t been redefined. For people familiar with the field it has always been a broad term meaning code that learns (and subdivided in many types of AI), and for people unfamiliar with the field it has always been a term synonymous with AGI. So when people in the former category put out a product and label it as AI, people in the latter category then run with it using their own definition.
For a long time ML had been the popular buzzword in tech and people outside the field didn’t care about it. But then Google and OpenAI started calling ML and LLMs simply “AI” and that became the popular buzzword. And when everyone is talking about AI, and most people conflate that with AGI, the results are funny and scary at the same time.
The US was doing it in the Philippines. Russia was doing it in the US. It’s the circle of life.
I was confused why a package manager would need to import posts from a social network.
Why name a new product the same as a very popular existing product?
Huh. TIL. I always wondered why libraries treat ebooks like physical books.
It’s not lying or hallucinating. It’s describing exactly what it found in search results. There’s an web page with that title from that date. Now the problem is that the web page is pinterest and the title is the result of aggressive SEO. These types of SEO practices are what made Google largely useless for the past several years and an AI that is based on these useless results will be just as useless.
With the introduction of AJAX, web pages became apps. It was the advent of SPAs and SASS. Which enabled the things you saw as a consumer.
Yes, that’s what I said. My native language is a romance language too. And after speaking it her whole life, my wife has trouble getting the grasp of how in English swapping two words completely changes the meaning of what she’s saying (especially when it’s two nouns, like e.g. “parent council”)
The thing is that in French, Spanish, etc. it still makes sense if you put the adjective before the noun, even if it might sound weird in some cases. An adjective is an adjective and a noun is a noun.
But English is positional. Where you put a word gives it its function. So “red car” and “car red” mean different things.
open_dialog_file
or dialog_open_file

I don’t think anyone without color blindness would say any two colors on that drawing are the same color.
Those are two different people though. One thought or Terry Pratchett, the other of Douglas Adams.
Tech Leads and Staff+ Engineers are still IC roles. If you’re not managing people, then you’re not in a manager role.
Yes, but 15 spelling variations doesn’t mean the name wad spelled 15 times in total (as the comment I replied to says), because each variation can be used multiple times.
Ok, I now see the discrepancy in the article (“misspelled 14 different ways” and “spelled 14 different ways”). I was confused by the commenter’s phrasing (“spelled 15 times in total”)
How are crashlytics and firebase analytics profiting off of users? I cannot imagine not including those in an app you’re actually hoping to improve.
No it doesn’t. He could have his name show up 100 times in the documents, 30 of which are misspelled. The 30 misspelled occurrences would show 14 unique spelling variations.
Edit: I see what you mean now. He spelled his name in 15 different ways if he misspelled it in 14 ways (unless he never spelled it right)
And the argument was if there’s meaning behind what they generate. That argument applies to AGIs too. It’s a deeply debated philosophical question. What is meaning? Is our own thought pattern deterministic, and if it is, how do we know there’s any meaning behind our own actions?
