But was $application.old_final the one to rollback to, or $application.old-final2?!

Sure, grandpa/grandma, time for your medicine.

Not to mention the benefits of versioning and being able to rollback! There’s something so satisfying about a well set-up CI/CD pipeline.

Yeah, I think this plus the desktop app might be a huge deal

I don’t think it’s actually been rolled out to the app yet. When I load up the app, I see the old voice feature, not the new mode.

Right? If I so much as accidentally look at a screen for a minute hours before I sleep, I toss and turn forever trying to go to sleep

This is why Lemmy needs to keep tweaking it’s feed algorithm. I understand why many people rightly have a distaste of social media algorithm fuckery, but Lemmy doesn’t have some of the same bad incentives that an ad driven site like Reddit or twitter might have. A better algorithm will help Lemmy grow and surface interesting posts organically.

The recent feed change to boost smaller communities in 0.19 is a good start, and not showing too many posts in a row from the same community will be another welcome change.

Hear hear!

Honestly, this is part of a broader trend of enshittification sweeping the Internet these days. It’s not just spez, it’s any SV bro from the current crop of technology companies. I think this is a lesson worth remembering for all of us who took the freedom and magic of the Internet for granted.

They’ve only released the weaker version, Gemini Pro, which is integrated into Bard. It’s performance is comparable to GPT 3.5. the stronger version, which will go toe-to-toe with GPT4 will be Gemini Ultra, and will be released sometime in 2024.

Spot on, I could feel his presence

Very impressive! Apparently the slightly weaker version is bring released today in Bard, which is still not available in freaking Canada.

The more powerful version which claims to beat GPT4 at MMLU comes out next year.

Nice try, but that’s no normal human. That’s Jeff Goldblum!

Surprised nobody’s said The Division yet. The first one is incredible fun IMO, and the second one is good, but not as much fun.

I don’t know if this characterization is true. From all that I’ve read Ilya Sutskever was always the star and most important asset of OpenAI. Altman seemed like the SV money guy. Money should no longer continue to be as big of a problem for OpenAI, although the coup will definitely have spooked investors.

Edit: personally, I’ll add that Altman gives me major ick vibes, similar to Musk, although I can’t fully justify them. His WorldCoin scammy project convinced me that he was not the person who should be in charge of potentially in charge of advancing is towards AI.

Ilya and Denis Hassabis are more the kind of scientists with the mettle that I would trust more with the responsibility of stewarding proto AGI into existence. They both seem to understand the magnitude of what they are creating.

Yeah, just realized that. On first read I thought he was just helping with the transition, but this seems more like he’s been kicked off the board too, although is still employed (for now).

Very interesting indeed, given that Ilya Sutskever and Greg Brockman are in the board.

Ironically this image is doing what the influencer is supposed to be doing, which is ragebaiting for virality. I’m pretty sure the cigarettes in last two pictures are completely photoshopped precisely so that people fume and rant. I’m willing to bet the captions in the entire set of images is made up. Where did you find this post, OP?
