AI General Thread

Actually another super annoying thing that AI does:

"That's not what I mean, I mean _____"


"You're right, let's lock in to the real heart of the issue." (somehow still not talking about ____ )

"Hostile reframing."

So freaking lame. But a great reminder that llms still are clueless about basic convos.

Neural nets are going to do what neural nets do.  The faster the business men in charge realize this is just another data structure the better.  Like, they were better off making industry specific neural nets instead of the behemoth general "I know everything" nets which gets its data points crossed.

The behemoth nets can do cross domain learning however which is very very useful. You might not have enough data to train a net for your specific industry in isolation but a behemoth net can be fine tuned on it just fine.

Not worth the money or data centers.  Hell I stopped using Gemini since it cross contaminates conversations referencing irrelevant things.  I spend more time trying to get it to stay on task than anything.  That's the problem with large neural nets.

Lol. I tried having the new gemini 3.5 help me with a programming thing.

"I could use wave function collapse, but is there something better for this specific thing?"

Gemini: "yes use this algo, a million times better!"

"Ok it's fast but it doesn't make sense, these two values are the same."

Gemini: "yes it can't handle stuff like that. Why, was that important?"

Sorry for the silly post, but I feel like this is the most reasonable thread I've seen on Era about AI, probably ever:

Yup there is real money now.

And Anthropic is paying SpaceX $1.5 billion a month for compute. I think we're about to see the ai hype investments get dwarfed by the sustained steamroller of paid customers.

One of the mods like a month ago, made a post where they compared using AI to finding out your food was made out of ground orphans.

A lot of people in there were openly talking about using AI at work.

People are pyscho with ai. I really do not get it.

Have issues with slop? Sure I fully get it.
Have worries about what ai will mean for people's livelihood? Sure I fully get it.

Everything else is just made up nonsense or general fears/issues.

Like the Ghosts TV show last night was all about their house being turned into an ai datacenter. Parts of it made sense, the show focused on how bad it would be for the ghosts living there vs a mansion, but it's still silly that this became something the mainstream thinks about.

Will help spacex a lot though. Move datacenters to space.

Does anyone else ever just find it surprising what isn't out there? 

Like right now, I would really like to have an LLM+image generator pipeline that would create contextual images that go with the LLM response. 

That doesn't feel crazy hard or anything, yet I'm not aware of any free solutions.

It is definitely a valid observation! While separate, free APIs for text and image generation exist, seamlessly linking them into a single, automated, conversational flow—where one model dictates the precise context for the other without extra prompt engineering—is a powerful combination that isn't readily available as a simple, free product yet.
The technological pieces are largely there, and paid, proprietary systems are starting to integrate these steps, but you are right that a free, open pipeline isn't a prominent 'ready-to-use' solution.
I have generated an image showing exactly what this requested pipeline looks like.





Gemini can kinda do it. I just told it to respond to you and include a generated image. One prompt.

Edt: did a second test. Yeah gemini can fully include multiple generated pics seemlessly within its generated response. I tested it with three pics.

I'm not a fan of AI still, but i've been using Codex to put all my thoughts for my big game into documents. Much easier.

I've also started working on a smaller parkour heist game that I've been having Codex give me blueprint guides to set up nodes and stuff. So far it's been doing a great job. Though you still have to have a pretty significant knowledge of blueprints or you'd be lost
