https://www-businessinsider-com.cdn...jobs-2023-5?amp They've just out and said what I had inferred from their behavior. The last dance is here, and the whole reason they did so much stupid poo poo on AI, particularly apocalyptic levels fines in copyright abuse is because they know the party is winding down and need the one weird trick to keep going.

Xaris posted:I strongly disagree. Reddit is the only ‘good’ (for lack of a better term) public information megasite. which is damning and faint praise at the same time. like I said, when it immolates, so goes along with it 95% of search engines utility of adding +Reddit Boolean operator to actually at least maybe real information this is true, the only place to find legit fleshlight reviews anymore

Called it before & I'm calling it again: biden & dems will agree to a new austerity commission that makes recs to congress & can't be amended before voting. 70 senators voted for such a commission a couple years ago.

Rectal Death Adept posted:Their grocery delivery service has been changing along these lines for years. Amazon Fresh is not new. I was using it back when it first started in 2007 when there was no order minimum, they were competitive with grocery stores, they covered any sales tax for taxable poo poo, they carried a bunch of stuff you couldn't get elsewhere, and delivery (in a big, reusable plastic tub that they picked back up later) was free with scheduled one-hour windows. 2007 Amazon Fresh was great, but it was obvious it wasn't going to last because it was so much better than grocery stores. And, well, it didn't last. It's basically gotten steadily shittier for the last 16 years (like pretty much everything Amazon-related) as they've increased prices and decreased utility.

In 2007 it was an absolute loving loss for the company. It was a pet project for the execs in seattle to get direct delivery to their houses. The nice thing though is that if you were an employee at that time they would just let you pick up bags of groceries from the lobby of all the buildings in downtown.

Tasks like labeling and verification are harder than they seem if you want usable results, so my guess is they couldn't get what they needed that way. All the big tech companies that have "AI" driving their products have armies of these contractors making minimum wage or a little better doing amazingly tedious but not-quite-unskilled labor. There are whole companies out there providing these services to Google, Microsoft, etc.

genericnick posted:Lmao, nah. Building a broadly functional thing with massively exploited labor from the global south is not the Theranos thing. Kind of the opposite. I would question that the "artificial intelligence" is "broadly functional" if it has to be propped up with "massively exploited labor from the global south" like, when Theranos was getting prodded for blood test results, they'd just use commercially-available blood testing machines to do it - it didn't work because they were feeding microfluidic amounts of blood test into a machine that expected a normal draw, but as long as the machine spat out a non-failed result, that was what the patient got, and they were made to believe it was valid

gradenko_2000 posted:I would question that the "artificial intelligence" is "broadly functional" if it has to be propped up with "massively exploited labor from the global south" It's not propped up. The training was done using exploited labor in the global south, I don't think we have any reason to believe it's doing mechanical Turk poo poo when you feed in a prompt and it puts out plausible sounding responses.

another difference is that with GPT, the breathless hype isn't really coming from OpenAI themselves (who are pretty upfront about what it is and can do), but from lamprey-like grifters latching on to it as the next thing that can be used to extract money from VC/dumb corporate types. but yes the dominant structures that exist for labelling in machine learning/deep learning suck poo poo; they're absolutely loving workers over from both ends i was doing some work on a smallish machine learning model for what i thought was a fairly left-leaning organization, and we needed a few thousand labels pretty quickly (quicker than our tiny team could do). i was like "i mean there's always amazon mechanical turk but haha there's no way we'd get ethics approval for that, right?" and i just got blank stares like "huh? no we already have funding, it's fine" (we didn't end up using mechanical turk). people just have no idea about the realities of how this poo poo is put together. they think it's either computer magicks or fake news. it's a land of contrasts i guess.
