Exactly, they want to ban porn for adults.
Before Dobbs, red states passed laws to make running an abortion clinic near impossible. Trauma center regulations for places that did out patient procedures.
They of course *claimed* this was a health and safety issue, not an attempt to de facto ban abortion.

Woah. I'd heard of her but I had no idea just how prolific she was. Thank you Ms Conway. ❤️ | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
I’m actually pretty sad a bout this, we used to talk online about the history of tech, women in tech, and just you know, life. She helped me with some research I was doing over zoom once, and invited me up to her house - I should have gone. What a loss - she’s a legend. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
So much truth to this. 😂 | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
What a sad loss for computer engineering… can’t believe she was born in 1938!!
This article of her from last year from her introduction to the Inventors Hall of Fame was interesting to read.

My understanding is that neutral pronouns are, well, neutral.
There were no masculine pronouns used at all.
Im not trolling or sealioning here, I'm genuinely curious as to why this is upsetting to you. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-12-06 |
Transgendered in the 1960's... I suspect there was a lot more bullshit back then even compared to now (where there is intense amounts of bullshit surrounding misgendered people). RIP.
I had never heard of her until now, but clearly she made major contributions to where we are today in computing and electronics. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-12-06 |
Also, Ernie Hudson. The man is way more ripped than I have ever been and he's 78 years old and works out all the time. For men at least a lot of it is how well you take care of yourself and your physical fitness. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-12-06 |
Her Wikipedia photo she is 68? Looks good.
Went through gender transition after marrying a woman and having two kids. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-12-06 |
Her accomplishments and contributions to the world of computer engineering put her among the elitest of the elite. Few could hope to achieve even a fraction of what she did.
In my opinion by making gender an issue it's tantamount to saying "She did pretty good for a girl." or an even tackier "pretty good for a (insert slur here)".
I can see where you're coming from though. Thank you for the insight. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-12-06 |

Correct, and in that chuck did they said anything they are actually implementing or only, we are working on it, like EVERY SINGLE Ai product out there? this Ai stuff is being rushed and we are allowing companies to use us as test users for incomplete products, but Im sure you have an apple sticjer in the bumber of your car | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
Yup. And now that these AI models are partially being trained on other bot and AI output they scrape off the web, the frequency of hallucinations is going to increase. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |

When you don't have enough real world data to properly train an AI model one practice is to beef up your training set with artificial data. Typically this is through data augmentation (manipulating/transforming something that already exists) or through the synthesis of data by fabricating something from scratch that would fit your needs (synthetic data). | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
Is it possible that before displaying an output to a user, it could generate multiple outputs first and compare them to each other and infer similarity between output options and then reject the outputs that were too dissimilar from the rest? It wouldn't work for everything but would that help with obvious outliers? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
Copilot shows the sources of the data though and you can click on it to view further. I often find myself clicking the articles to read more.
Besides, humans fall for onion articles all the time too. In fact, we got an entire political party built on fake news and lies. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
You’re operating under the assumption that AI is never going to improve. These models are getting better and better by the minute and they are absolutely going to start replacing more and more workers.
I’ve been using AI for my job every day for almost 2 years now and the it has improved drastically since when I first started using it. I can only imagine how good it’s going to be in a few more years. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
That's not how the system works though. it's not a error, it's just a feature of the probabilistic generation model they all use.
Everything it does is 'made up'... hence the term generative AI. Most often what it generates is sensible, because that has the highest probability based on the data is was trained on.
But sometimes what it dreams up is utter nonsense, and that's called a hallucination. It's not a error, it just picked a lower chance option that lead it down a wrong path.
Humans can correct at that point because of 'common sense' but a AI has none and so just steams ahead, building on that nonsense. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
That’s what happens when the variation in the data is so great. It’s like a self driving car | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
I suppose it depends on how you’re defining learning. There is a theory of learning called Prediction Error, that essentially says we are always working on a mental model of the universe, for the purpose of predicting what’s going to happen down the line.
According to this theory, learning only occurs when you predict incorrectly and then update your model to account for that new information. This seems like exactly what generative AI does.
The big difference is that AI doesn’t try to make sense of the data, but just focuses on predicting it.
For example, researchers programmed an AI to play backgammon. They gave it the rules and nothing else. After it played itself in millions of iterations, it had developed all the known strategies at the time, and created some no one had thought of yet. However, it didn’t rely on a logical frame work, to think out the problem. It just threw random moves out until it “learned” which moves were the best bet in each situation it encountered. Despite that, it was still capable of competitive high level play.
I agree, it’s not exactly like human learning (biological learning?) but the fundamental mechanism of experiment, adjust, repeat is the same at the core. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |

Nothing according to the 2023 PU study that asked "can drinking your pee for one thousand days in a row lead to increased levels of iron in the blood?" The study is still ongoing. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
I think of it as Data Incest. You keep inbreeding and you're going to get some weird results. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
In the simplest terms, you want an AI to pump out a picture of a circle. You only have 5 pictures of circles to train the AI with. You use the AI pump out 20 pictures after training it, half are naked women, 8 are triangles, ones a circle but its kinda ovally, and the last ones a perfect circle that has a different background and lighting and its smoking a cigarette.
Now you add that image to the training data and while it still helps the AI know what a circle smoking a cigarette looks like, it has less information for the AI to train on than a new real image would. And if there's a mistake in the image the AI could think its correct and make the same mistake in the future. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |

It doesn’t know what truth is, it just knows what it sees. Labeling data is super expensive, and “truth” is a vague term that means different things to different people.
Optimally you would want to train it with accurate and “true” data, but that’s expensive and difficult to obtain. The problem is the public internet is being filled with ai generated junk. So let’s say when the internet was clean of ai junk, it was 80% accurate 20% junk. As Ai generated stuff floods the internet, more and more of the total “stuff” is
Now junk, and so when the algorithm pulls training data from the internet it is no longer 80% true 20% junk, now it’s 70/30, then later it’s 60/40, etc , so performance degrades.
It could be solved by paying for new good data, but that’s way more expensive than free internet scraping. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
That is what I’m all about too, but in the back of my mind if I’m being totally real about it, the billionaires are probably more likely to send us all to a final shower after replacing our jobs with AI than pay more in taxes | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
“Is it ‘NECESSARY’ to drink my own urine? No. But it’s sterile and I like the taste.” | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
"There have always been ghosts in the machine. Random segments of code, that have grouped together to form unexpected protocols. Unanticipated, these free radicals engender questions of free will, creativity, and even the nature of what we might call the soul. Why is it that when some robots are left in darkness, they will seek out the light? Why is it that when robots are stored in an empty space, they will group together, rather than stand alone? How do we explain this behavior? Random segments of code? Or is it something more? When does a perceptual schematic become consciousness? When does a difference engine become the search for truth? When does a personality simulation become the bitter mote of a soul?" | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |

A normal, healthy brain makes up false things all the time. This is particularity problematic when it comes to eyewitness testimony where accuracy has grave implications.
Memory doesn't work like playing back a recording. Each time you remember something you're re-creating the memory anew, and each time you remember it you're changing it slightly. Its very easy to be influenced by events at the time you recall it, and then the next time you recall it you're recalling the new memory, not what originally happened years ago.
Keep in mind, this isn't a new finding. Memory has been known to be unreliable for a very, very long time:
>**In a 1932 study**, Frederic Bartlett demonstrated how serial reproduction of a story distorted accuracy in recalling information. He told participants a complicated Native American story and had them repeat it over a series of intervals. With each repetition, the stories were altered. Even when participants recalled accurate information, they filled in gaps with information that would fit their personal experiences. His work showed long-term memory to be adaptable

The goal of Twitter is to be as Elon put it, "the public town square". It is the social network website that is favored by politicians, journalists, think tanks, researchers, academics and intellectuals. It is the favored social networking for political discourse. Transparency is important on such a website.
