@normalniklas kan vara att du ser exempel på det här:

"GPT-4 Can’t Reason"

https://arxiv.org/pdf/2308.03762.pdf

Kolla till exempel "Simple Graph Coloring" på sidan 16 i den, där maskinen bara hittar på svar som är fel hela tiden, sen när fel påpekas svarar den "oj förlåt, jag gjorde ett misstag. Här är rätt svar: ..." följt av fel igen, och fel igen, osv.

Grejen är att den förstår ingenting, den är inte ens byggd för att försöka förstå något, den bara sätter ihop meningar som liknar sånt den sett förr.

> Search engines need an "exclude AI content" option.

Reading that, I just had a vision of the future: that option will soon exist, but as a very expensive premium feature. Most people will not be able to afford it, they get only "AI"-crap all day long.

@cosmin jitsi can still be used, it's still free software, it's just the "meet.jit.si" instance that has changed to require such login. It's a configuration thing, a choice made by whoever runs each instance.

You can setup your own instance, or use one of the many instances that are still open. CCC has a list of instances here, you could pick one of those: https://pads.ccc.de/jitsiliste

I think we need to move the problem from the sender HOPE who did nothing wrong, to gmail and its users. Those users have a problem. They cannot receive important communication because they uise a shitty email provider. Those users should act.

Email is for communication. If your email service does not deliver something important to you, then that is a critical error. The communication system is failing at its core function. Being "feature-rich" is irrelevant compared to that.

@llorenzin thanks for answering, I so see what you mean, but:

> I absolutely understand why all
> my non-technical friends use
> Gmail [...] has good spam filtering, [...]

This I think is wrong. Is not the whole point of this discussion re. HOPE is that Google et al has very deeply messed-up spam filtering?

The so-called "spam" filtering behavior is not a reason to use gmail, it is rather a very strong reason to leave gmail.

@jajo skillnaden mellan kommunism och nazism, kanske?

@llorenzin people should just stop using Google and Microsoft email. Just move away to something decent, almost anything else is better. People who keep using those big ones are helping thm keep their position which is really bad.

Also, more organizations should run their own mailservers. Be free!

@rasmusfleischer mycket relevant perspektiv!

Påminner om något jag precis läste om i Per Molanders bok "Condorcets misstag": hur aktiebolaget som fenomen har påverkat världen. Ett AB är en "juridisk person" som agerar utifrån rent vinstintresse, alltså befriad från moral. När en människa gör något finns en god chans att den väljer si eller så på grund av en uppfattning om rätt eller fel. Så fungerar inte ett AB, där är rätt och fel irrelevant. Vi har fått en mycket annorlnda värld p.g.a. detta.

To everyone who attended the #SamNet conference today: thank you, it was a privilege to be there with you all.

Special thanks to @carl and @Jeremiah for your awesome presentations!
