no one in their right mind would use google translate to verify chatgpt because if you’re using chatgpt for translation youre dojng it because youre frustrated with how stagnant and awful and unchanging in its mistakes google translate is
I just fucking hate how google translate has like, NEVER improved
It’s actually gotten worse as they became overreliant on a machine learning model of translation. Their revised translation model was pretty much the first major LLM on the internet and it is consequently awful (iirc it was first implemented like a decade ago)
edit: Google Neural Machine Translation was implemented in 2016, so nearly a decade. It’s trash. Everyone knows it’s trash. Google Translate was legitimately better for many languages before GNMT.
I remember when I tried using ChatGPT 3.5 to practice chatting in Japanese and after about 5 minutes of talking I said それは鉛筆です (kore wa enpitsu desu/This is a pencil) to it. It then argued with me that pencil in Japanese is actually renkotsu and that every person in Japan uses the word 煉骨 (renkotsu) in daily parlance, and that I’d be looked down up on if I said the word enpitsu to someone. It even combatted me when I gave it information from japanese dictionaries telling me that those dictionaries were wrong. The best I can tell is that Renkotsu is an Inuyasha character.
I don’t know how anyone could trust it to translate anything after that.
let us pray that this ends the stultifying spread of “AI” gibberish
I’d be happier about the bubble popping if it wasn’t gonna take down the world economy with it…
let it perish, it’ll be good for global warming
Depends on how hard the landing is. There is a point where the cities empty and its occupants spread out over the countryside chopping down every tree, living nomadically out of their cars which they have to relocate daily to escape roving bands of warlords.
this isn’t going to happen
Silicon valley creeps want you to believe that they are too big to fail and that the world will go down with them if their bubble bursts, but it’s bullshit. Did the world end when sam bankman fried’s monopoly money bank collapsed? Did the world end when the dot com bubble burst? What makes AI different? The world economy does not depend on rich white boys gambling on our future by deciding what part of the world to set on fire next. They are just an unfortunate externality (one of many) that makes global capitalism so awful.
If all of Silicon Valley collapsed tomorrow, you won’t notice unless you work at a tech startup
Yeah, I might be overestimating the value tech adds to the ‘economy’ all told. I just see a big bubble with lots of cash, and worry that it could infect the ‘saner’ markets, a la the housing bubble.
But then, that was with people’s houses.
More realistically, this is the giant wads of money that was sloshing around in VC from the previous decade finally getting burned. We didn’t notice it when it was tied up by these companies afraid to invest and we won’t notice it when it’s now “gone” (transferred into salaries and throwing money at NVIDIA).
really love that you can change the destination and add stops frequently on your phone without the driver complaining.
and ‘where’s the timer’ moment
I don’t like robots driving hunks of metal large enough to kill someone if they fuck up. That’s just a bad idea all around.
the trouble is, they already let people do it.
i think robots will probably be held to a higher standard than humans, altho given some of the tech ppl around, perhaps not
A video making the rounds on social media shows a police officer in Phoenix, Arizona pulling over a vehicle after it drove down a busy road in the opposing lane.
But as the body cam footage, which was shared by AZCentral last week, quickly reveals, there’s no human driver behind the wheel. It’s a driverless taxi operated by self-driving car company Waymo — leading to an unusual and incredibly awkward interaction.
Knowing somebody who literally works on quality/update releases for one of these companies and his confessing to me over late-night drinks that he has literally never not been over-ridden by leadership whenever he has said that it’s been unsafe to put an update on the streets, I would listen to your doubts.
(Which isn’t to say that this is definitely the case for all companies, just that it being the case for at least one should be enough to know that shit’s bad out there.)
I just don’t understand how they can operate legally. Was there some quick legislation by corrupt officials or were driverless cars somehow legal already?
edit: oh yeah also they’re mostly remote controlled by underpaid workers in india
