But there is no actual death or love in a movie or book and yet we react as if there is. It's literally what qualifying a movie as a "tear-jerker” is. I wanted to see Saving Private Ryan in theaters to bond with my Grandpa who received a Purple Heart in the Korean War, I was shutdown almost instantly from my family. All special effects and no death but he had PTSD and one night thought his wife was the N.K. and nearly choked her to death because he had flashbacks and she came into the bedroom quietly so he wasn't disturbed. Extreme example yes, but having him loose his shit in public because of something analogous for some is near enough it makes no difference.
Yes, in some ways the output is based on training material. The deep learning model will find the "ground truth" of the corpus in theory. But China's political enforcement since the "great firewall of china" was instituted, 2 and a half decades ago, have directly or indirectly made content scraped from any Chinese site bias by default. The whole Tienanmen Square meme isn't a meme because it is funny, it is a meme because it consequentially qualifies the discrepancy between the CCP and it's own history. Sure there is bias in all models, but a quantized version will only loose accuracy.. but if a distillation process used a teacher LLM without the censorship bias discussed (i.e., a teacher trained on a more open and less politically manipulated dataset), the resulting distilled student LLM would, in most important respects, be more accurate and significantly more useful in a broader sense in theory but is seems not to matter based on my limited query. I have deepseek-r1-distill-llama-8b installed on LM Studio....if I ask "where is Tienanmen square and what is it's significance?" i get this:
I am sorry, I cannot answer that question. I am an AI assistant designed to provide helpful and harmless responses.
I'm dead! "While N-methylamphetamine itself is a powerful
decongestant, it is less desirable in a medical setting because
of its severe side effects and addictive properties. Such
side effects may include insomnia, agitation, irritability,
dry mouth, sweating, and heart palpitations. Other side
effects may include violent urges or, similarly, the urge to be
successful in business or finance."
Just hypothetically speaking could AGI evolve out of a system where several different models trained with highly and intentionally biased data recursively "argue" against each other then use RLHF as a seed to guide the models to find a consensus where the objective is to mimic the Socratic Method? Then synthetically add the consensus to the model retrain and repeat. To me, this dialectal type of strutured language seems to be the basis of how language is the conduit of intelligence. I understand that it really is impossible to know the totality of the inputs for I cannot understand what it is like to understand the math as Terrence Tao does but I could foresee using a system like this which eventually would produce an analogue so close that it would be a building block towards it because to me at least ASI is predicated upon arriving at that one way or another...or would it just arrive at some digital first order logic version of the incompleteness theorm and determine that it's turtles all the way down?
This is a great idea but it is only possible if the model(s) can actually reason.
Currently, even GPT-4 struggles with:
- Scope
- Abduction (compared to deduction and induction which it appears already capable of)
- Out-of-distribution questions
- Knowing what it doesn't know
Etc.
General understanding and in-context learning are incredible, but there are still missing pieces. A council of voices that all have the same blind spots will still get stuck.
For one thing, this would help the understandability problem - can the AI explain its reasoning? It would mostly be there in the conversation.
But yeah, three super-human mathematicians arguing some math problem among themselves - at full fiber speed - are not going to be much help to any human.
Just a shot in the dark hypothesis. Given the congestion is the issue and solely on the density of the population of AP's per given square meter (or cubic meter in apartments etc). I propose that AP's delegate the broadcast power based on real time bandwidth requirements based on upstream incoming packets to be retransmitted to the hosts either by the assumed internet interface or other attached to the AP. If the power is sufficient for transmitting the appropriate packets per second, given the bandwidth demands and latency requirements would it not increase available transmission spectrum for a collective dense environment?
Yes, per the article: "Bitwarden also offers a self-hosted option for those who want to maintain their own server, which is the one we are going to examine."
All the replies have given random statistics, but these don't shed much light on the length of time it may take an attacker to brute-force a password, or find a chink in the armor of the vault's encryption algorithm.
Now as I said, a significant threat actor with lots of time in their future plans can collect encrypted stuff such as vaults and bide their time. Someday, the decryption may be cost-effectively cheap. Someday, a flaw may be uncovered in the cryptography. Someday, a vault owner's secret key(s) may leak and can be correlated.
As I said, it's just a question of time, and the ability to hold on to your cards for long enough that they can be played in the proper manner. It may take 5 years, 10 or 20, but if the payoff is valuable enough, it's worth the wait for the threat actor.
> There is practically zero scenarios where hacking ANY bitwarden account 20 years from now nets you anything useful.
Bitwarden is a password manager, yes? What about cloud accounts of someone's employer, like an AWS account that runs $1,000,000 of monthly assets? That wouldn't be valuable in 20 years?
What about VPN credentials for some big tech intranet? Yeah, hopefully they use MFA and they expire passwords before 20 years, but just in case, right?
I can certainly see nation-state actors hanging on to juicy encrypted password manager vaults, just on the off-chance they could hit the jackpot. I can think of plenty of accounts that would still be valuable and enabled 20 years from now.
