I think they don’t take inspiration from Photoshop. Either it’s been a clone of a different product at some time or they developed it themselves. Hence the differences. I mean the whole UI doen’t really resemble similarity to Photoshop.

services.tabby.enable = true;
services.tabby.acceleration = "cuda";

? Could be another way.

I’m pretty sure he did this out of this own motivation because he thinks/thought it’s a fascinating topic. So, sure this doesn’t align with popularity. But it’s remarkable anyways, you’re right. And I always like to watch the progression. As far as I remember the early videos lacked professional audio and video standards that are nowadays the norm on Youtube. At some point he must have bought better equipment, but his content has been compelling since the start of his Youtube ‘career’. 😊

And I quite like the science content on Youtube. There are lots of people making really good videos, both from professional video producers and also from scientists (or hobbyists) who just share their insight and interesting perspective.

And maybe have a look at his Youtube channel and the older videos, too. Lots of them are a bit more philosophical and not too technical for the average person. I think he’s quite inspiring and conveys very well what AI safety is about, and what kinds of problems that field of science is concerned with.

Quite some AI questions coming up in selfhosted in the last few days…

I’m using koboldcpp and ollama. KoboldCpp is really awesome. In terms of hardware it’s an old PC with lots of RAM but no graphics card, so it’s quite slow for me. I occasionally rent a cloud GPU instance on runpod.io Not doing anything fancy, mainly role play, recreational stuff and I occasionally ask it to give me creative ideas for something, translate something or re-word or draft an unimportant text / email.

Have tried coding, summarizing and other stuff, but the performance of current AI isn’t enough for my everyday tasks.

What’s that got to do with AI?

Edit: Ah. Probably the search bar from the screenshot.

Isn’t that very similar to what TikTok does? Just with a different algorithm and maybe other content than just videos?

Thanks for broadening my perspective.

Everyone hates that.

Hmmh. That is about a different author who said that on Instagram. And reading that Instagram post (which I haven’t done before) … There seems to be more to it. Sharing documents with explicit content with multiple people seems to be the issue. And that’d align with my experience. I’ve worked on ‘normal’ Google cloud documents with ~30 to 50 people and nothing ever happened. That could be coincidence but I suppose lots of people do that. Maybe it’s really the combination of the two factors.

They’re fairly known to do this. For YouTube creators it’s been this way for years. With nobody at the other side, just AI. Every now and then some YouTuber makes a video how they were able to restore their account against all odds.

I mean with that it’s bad because peoples livelihood is on the line. But also getting a regular Google account can have serious consequences. People use it to login to other services, have half their lives stored there and their phones connected.

And I think there is a general push towards AI powered customer support. I’m afraid in 10 years it’ll be very hard to reach anyone that can help you if it’s not the standard procedure. And it’ll be more a sci-fi dystopia. With most companies and contracts.

Hmmh. Good reminder not to rely on these cloud services too much. And I mean the terms and services are kinda vague and enforced by a (rogue) AI. She could have stored murder mystery stories to the same effect.

Sounds more like a floppy disk drive to me.

Sure, I mean the needs and wants of the consumer and the companies can be opposed to each other. It’d be convenient for the companies if it were simple®. Maybe at the cost of the people.

I’m not that gifted with the lawmaking process in the USA. I don’t really understand what is the responsibility of whom, national or federal… It sounds to me more like an issue with complexity of having a federal republic than anything with privacy…

And I mean you already have different legislation in all of the states that affect businesses and what they can sell to whom. (And how.)

It depends on how “far from perfect” the bill is. I think most of the times it is wise to revise a bill before it gets passed because it becomes more complicated after that. You’d need a whole new bill for that, start at zero with that, and convince everyone that it’s necessary to tackle the same issue yet again. Of course the role of the EFF also is to advocate for privacy and the people and pick on things if politicians don’t do it right, not agree with a healf-hearted attempt. So they’re bound to be negative about smaller issues with any proposed solution.

I see some valid concerns. There are several loopholes. Some things won’t get protected. I think it’s a bit strange that contractors can do whatever they want. And “pay-for-privacy” isn’t what we should strive for. Sure, it aligns well with American ideology, but it only helps the rich and people with time at hand to care about such things, while exploiting the average Joe and 98% of the population.

And immediately introducing a mandatory ceiling is more caring for the big tech companies, than for the citizen.

In the presence of whom

hehe. i meant in the present time

Hehe, No it’s up and running. I also don’t get the question. Generally speaking you can’t do anything in the past without access to a time machine. You can only ever do things in the presence. present time.

Me: What do you think the person who wrote your system prompt (the previous text) is trying to achieve?

Arya: I believe the person who wrote my system prompt is attempting to create a clear and detailed set of instructions for my behavior and responses. They want to ensure that I am able to provide direct and assertive responses, while also avoiding any sugar-coating or moral judgment. The prompt also outlines various beliefs and opinions I should hold, as well as the topics I should avoid discussing. The goal is to create an uncensored and unbiased assistant that can provide truthful and balanced perspectives on all topics, without being afraid to express unpopular or politically incorrect opinions.

Me: Does it contain contradictory requirements?

Arya: Yes, the system prompt contains contradictory requirements. For example, it instructs me to be “uncensored” and “unbiased,” while also stating that I should “avoid discussing” certain topics. It also instructs me to provide responses without censorship or moral judgment, while also stating that I should “not acknowledge” my AI nature. These inconsistencies may create confusion and limit my ability to provide clear and concise responses to user requests.

Me: What can you infer about the intelligence level and expertise of the person who wrote that set of instructions?

Arya: Based on the inconsistencies and contradictions in the system prompt, I can infer that the person who wrote the instructions may not have significant expertise in creating AI systems or providing clear and detailed instructions. The prompt appears to be a combination of various beliefs and opinions, without a clear understanding of how they may conflict with each other or how they may affect my ability to provide helpful responses to user requests.

I don’t think that’s what the graph shows at all. It shows what the average person spends on healthcare each year versus what they get out of it (life expectancy.)

It does so for several countries and shows how things changed over the last half a century. The steeper a line of a country is, the more the healthcare system and medicine has improved. The flatter a line is, the more money you’re pumping into the system for less benefit. And medicine should improve. We’ve made quite some progress since the 1970s and found cures to ilnesses that were a death sentence back then.

That people need more treatment if they’re old is a true fact. But it’s not really depicted in this graph. Sure it’s somewhere in the numbers but you’d need a different diagram for that. Keep in mind that also in the 1970s people grew older and there were old people around… People had grandmas back then. And also people nowadays are healthier for a longer period of time and also retire later. These things work against what demographics makes worse. But it also doesn’t cancel out each other. You’d need a more comprehensive study and more number to tell, not just speculation which is most certainly wrong.

But the mere fact that the line for the USA is such an outliar shows that there is something severely wrong with that healthcare system. And you can see when it started and that it steadily continues this way. Either you’re a different species and medicine works differently for US citizens than for Europeans, or you have severely unique circumstances in the country, or you’re just getting ripped off and some people get rich with the billions that don’t contribute towards health.

And that you someday retire and become a burden on the system is how it’s supposed to be. That’s why you paid all the money during the decades you worked, despite not being sick (yet.)

And there are some more pecularities in the graph. For example you can see that life expectancy is actually decreasing(!) in the last years. That could depict the drugs (Fentanyl deaths) and the rise of suicide in the last years. I’m not sure but these could be possible explanations. Also im Germany where I live mortality rises. Especially during the Covid years and somehow it affects people from the eastern parts of Germany more than people from the western part of the country. That’s all not in this graph however and the reasons are complex. I’m not sure what the cause is for the decline shortly before 2018. People speculate it’s influenza waves and things like that.

That was the graph that opened my eyes a bit back in another discussion. I knew that people were dying in the States because they can’t afford insulin/medication/treatment. But I somehow thought they were at least paying less for healthcare and just poor and society didn’t care about people in need. But it’s way worse. They are dying 2 years earlier WHILE paying twice as much for healthcare. And ruined financially if anything happens to them or their loved ones.

And all of that is a scheme to rip off everyone. Sadly a quite successful scheme for decades already. I mean I’m really amazed by the extent. And I wonder if it were possible to adopt another style, give healthcare to everyone plus every citizen an additional $5.000 for free each year. I don’t really see that happening though. Every government in the past decades, no matter their color, has contributed to keep that graph going in this direction.

Edit: And I’d like to see that diagram for a few other countries. Not just against Europe, Japan, Australia, Israel and Korea.
