2 months ago@stefano@bsd.cafe I pretty much gave up … yes, I remember how nice my old #Nokia #E71 (a loooong time ago) worked as a terminal.
Nowadays I just have #ConnectBot and #HackersKeyboard installed, it’s “okayish” for occassional use, I did fix a few issues ad-hoc on the road, but really only for “emergency”…
@vk6flab @ajsadauskas Back in my days, “artificial intelligence” meant things like equipping a computer with some “quality function” helping to win some sort of game by rating possible future situations. Or it meant applying all sorts of filtering to raw data (e.g. images) to help with pattern recognition (so, that’s a cow on that picture!). So now we’re modelling natural languages by collecting huge amounts of (text) data, which then helps a computer to spit out plausible stuff in natural language form. The term “artificial intelligence” is not wrong, but non-technical people assume a very wrong meaning. 🤷
The major misunderstanding is to mentally draw a trajectory towards what we consider “human intelligence”. That’s entirely not where all of this is heading though, artificial intelligence is a completely different game.
But that said, thanks for this awesome comparison to explain what an LLM *actually* does, I guess that’s a perfect way to explain it to anyone without the theoretical background! 👍
