For those of you who didn't read the paper, the argument they're making is similar to Godel's Incompleteness Theorem: no matter how you build your LLM, there will be a significant number of prompts that make that LLM hallucinate. If the proof holds up then hallucinations aren't a limitation of the training data or the structure of your particular model, they're a limitation of the very concept of an LLM. That doesn't make LLMs useless, but it does mean you shouldn't ever use one as a source of truth.

First, try to understand what's actually being said here. Sometimes I call myself fat because I'm above my target weight. But in my case my self-esteem is just fine: I'm a former gym rat who knows where I am, what I need to do to get back in shape, and that I'm still okay if I don't get there. Saying "I'm fat" is a light jab at myself and a reminder to take steps toward my goals, nothing to worry about.
If your GF is calling herself fat more hurtfully (which is sadly common) the issue is not how fat she is or isn't. That's just a symptom. The issue is whatever negative feeling is prompting her to tear herself down. Arguing with her about whether she's actually fat won't help with that, and might even do more harm than good. Maybe ask her how she's doing, remind her that you love her just the way she is.
Most of these companies are just arguing that they shouldn't have to license the works they're using because that would be hard and inconvenient, which isn't terribly compelling to me. But Adobe actually has a novel take I hadn't heard before: they equate AI development to reverse engineering software, which also involves copying things you don't own in order to create a compatible thing you do own. They even cited a related legal case, which is unusual in this pile of sour grapes. I don't know that I'm convinced by Adobe's argument, I still think the artists should have a say in whether their works go into an AI and a chance to get paid for it, but it's the first argument I've seen for a long while that's actually given me something to think about.
Mostly Cities Skylines 2. The performance is not great, but it's passable with the settings turned down and the actual city building is really good. Right now I'm working on a big expansion to my city further down the highway, just got the water/power lines run between them so it's one big happy grid exporting the extra to other cities. Already looking forward to the things I'll do differently in my second city!
Also playing some Super Mario Wonder on the side, which is fantastic. Great mix of easy fun levels and hard-as-nails secret special levels. Very fun!
The planned session can wait. These moments are gold...
The full soundtracks to both games are on the Fat Man's Bandcamp, which I linked up above. Also, the "greatest hits" collection album 7/11 is on Spotify. It's surprisingly easy to listen to these days!
The 7th Guest and The 11th Hour remain top-tier for me. The music was half the experience, turn it up and just enjoy that creepy vibe while solving puzzles. And they're all on The Fat Man's Bandcamp now!
Also, there's an industrial rock cover album on vinyl currently looking for funding on Kickstarter. I'm super excited!
Lemmy scratches the Reddit itch for me. It doesn't have all my old niche communities yet, but it's got enough for me to log on and see what's happening in the Internet.
Also, I haven't been pestered to use an app since I got here, which is so nice. Reddit was getting more and more aggressive about that before I quit.
Which is exactly what the paper recommends! As long as you have something that isn't an LLM in the pipeline to vet the output and you're aware is the tech's limitations, they can be useful tools. But some of those limitations might be a more solid barrier than some sales departments would like us to believe.
