Also, nobody actually knows if human intelligence is just finer grained stochastic prediction as well.
I think some people are stochastic parrots and some are not. I think most of our true understanding of things comes from escaping our limitations. Why so many people want to become a stochastic parrot is beyond me though.
Now to the future, because we’re not done yet by a long shot. The security reports keep rolling in. I’m working on a bunch of CVEs right now. Luckily I’ve been joined by some other very good developers with great systems development skills and security knowledge. Some of these people came to my attention partly because of all the rage happening at the moment, so I get some rage storm clouds have silver linings. Watch out for some credits for some great new rsync developers in the next release.
The project is being taken over by vibe coders, yay.
In my perception¹, ML differs from a brain by operating on words in form of tokens, while the human brain works by associating a concrete piece of information or thing with another, with the path in between being formed at some points, but crucially, being editable more or less easily and flexibly by retraining. And that’s the points, humans learn on a fundamental level. Dropping the prod DB means that my brain will form a hard association between the action of writing ‘drop database’ and fear, which in turn triggers deeper thoughts about wth I’m doing. LLMs see “conflict at line 1, 12”, and for some reason one possible path of tokens to generate can be a drop command. And as the underlying model data does not change, they don’t learn.
On how living being’s speech centres work, idk.
¹The perception of an acidhead. So don’t trust me.
The differences between a human brain and any kind of model we can currently train are too great to be listed. They are incomparable. It turns out that no matter how many perceptrons you put together, you don’t get a brain.
Heck, we don’t even know how brains work, and you got people talking about how they’re making AI clones of themselves with LLMs lol.
You can look at the tone of the whole post to understand where the author is mentally. You can also make an educated guess about who will want to work on a project that’s being coded with LLMs. If I’m wrong remind me and I’ll own it. But I don’t think I am.
Conjecture (and largely unfounded at that) isn’t evidence. I’d bet money that you don’t even have the ability to evaluate the project to determine if it’s being vibe-coded (as it seems is the case for everyone raging about this).
Lol, I’m not a court of law, I’m a person.
Get lost with this deflection crap. You’re the one who was making a definitive statement (“The project is being taken over by vibe coders, yay.”) about a widely respected figure responsible for creating one of the most used pieces of software ever (not to mention Samba too) who IMO deserves the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise.
I merely asked you to provide evidence to back up your statement and clearly you’re unable to do that. Don’t try to push it back onto me trying to make me seem unreasonable for asking.
I’ve seen it enough times to see a pattern. This post is riddled with tech bro language, there’s no denying it. More of it is coming with everything that entails.
Thankfully there’s still openrsync. I didn’t even realise I was already using it so I’m not invested into arguing further. To all vanilla rsync users, Godspeed.
There is a significant majority of people on Lemmy who think installing Linux made them a software engineer and think that code completion is “vibe-coding” and not a basic feature of fucking Eclipse

Devaluing the human experience until the tech looks good
Evidence?

So no evidence at all then, gotcha.
Lol, I’m not a court of law, I’m a person. I can make my own judgments based on what someone said and how they said it.
Cool story bro.
