It’s just less visible/explicit. It’s still bad press when it gets noticed and called out like in this thread, it’s just sneakier.

Security implications?

People working with these technologies have known this for quite awhile. It’s nice of Apple’s researchers to formalize it, but nobody is really surprised-- Least of all the companies funnelling traincars of money into the LLM furnace.

What if I’m already pretty good at Python and C? :)

How do you learn? I have some ESP32s that I’ve messed around a little bit with, and done some neat stuff…But I don’t have an electronics background at all and I often have trouble even figuring out how to power the damn things safely.

I feel like you just shout things into the void and people give you points for agreeing with you.

Lol at first I thought this was a direct criticism of the person you were replying to.

Well, have a nap

THEN FIRE ZE SAMSUNG & LG CEOS!

That’s super interesting. How do you get started at something like that? Or where would a newcomer start to learn more about it?

If that works, you should try it with a product that you aren’t interested in too and compare the results.

Sound was quite atrocious, downvoted 👎

What are some shortcomings in your view?

Trust the science

Oh cool! Is there any non-mobile app/service that does something similar?

I don’t think it’s just marketing bullshit to think of LLMs as AI… The research community generally does, too. Like the AI section on arxiv is usually where you find LLM papers, for example.

That’s not like a crazy hype claim like the “AGI” thing, either… It doesn’t suggest sentience or consciousness or any particular semblance of life (and I’d disagree with MW that it needs to be “human” in any way)… It’s just a technical term for systems that exhibit behaviors based on training data rather than explicit programming.

So just look for the guy who looks like he’s just been to four different network admin conferences?

It’s actually not that high-tech… Like jamming a wifi signal is basically like just shouting over someone to prevent them from speaking (or at least from being heard). To make one from scratch, you need a little bit of technical prowess, but it’s definitely a beginner project… But to use one, you literally just turn it on, and maybe choose a frequency. They’re widely available and cheap.

There are pretty cool sophisticated digital crimes out there though, so take heart!

You’re saying you think LLMs are not AI?

My comment isn’t anti-corporate or anti-work though…? It just isn’t that strange that Google is more efficient at generating revenue (as dollars-per-kWh) than Finland is.
