It’s literally in the phrase “statically optimized.” This is like arguing for your preferred deity. It’ll never be proven but we have evidence to make our own conclusions. As it is now, AI doesn’t learn or understand the same way humans do.
Google search results aren’t deterministic but I wouldn’t say it “learns” like a person. Algorithms with pattern detection isn’t the same as human learning.
I’ve hand calculated forward propagation (neural networks). AI does not learn, its statically optimized. AI “learning” is curve fitting. Human learning requires understanding, which AI is not capable of.
I am educated on this. When an ai learns, it takes an input through a series of functions and are joined at the output. The set of functions that produce the best output have their functions developed further. Individuals do not process information like that. With poor exploration and biasing, the output of an AI model could look identical to its input. It did not “learn” anymore than a downloaded video ran through a compression algorithm.
Haven’t lost a partner before, but I’ve experienced the feeling of questioning my value. Know others in similar places. Don’t overthink it. It won’t make it better. I’ve found it’s better to act and reflect then mope and regret.
I spent way too long researching the morning. That industry implies a much greater population that is attracted to children. Things get more nuanced. People are attracted to different stages, like prebubesant, early adolescence, and mid to late adolescence. It seems like an important distinction because this is a common mental disorder.
I was ready to write this comment about my fear that there’s a bunch of evil pedophiles living among us who are simply deterred by legal or social pressures.
It seems more like the extreme stigma of pedophilia has prevented individuals from seeking assistance and has resulted in more child sexual abuse. This sort of disorder can be caused by experiencing this abuse at a younger age.
When I was religious, we worked closely with an organization to help victims of trafficking. We had their stories. They entered our lives. I took care of some of these kids. As a victim of sexual abuse when I was kid, I had a hatred for these kinds of people. I feel like my brain is melting seeing how there is a high chance of people in my life being attracted to children. This isn’t really to justify the industry. I’m just realizing that general harassing people openly about it might not be helping the situation.
50,000 minors are trafficked for sex each year.
It is the second most profitable criminal industry.
There are millions upon millions of child sexual abuse material files reported each year.

I’ve used an unhealthy amount of AI, this is nothing. There was an audio bug in chatgpt that made the assistant scream. The volume and pitched increased and would persist even when I exited the speech mode. It happened several times and even saved a screen recording, but I don’t have it saved on my phone any more. Repeating is very common though.
What the fuck are you on about? Touch grass? Come off with that shit man. You don’t know if I need an abortion or if my Medicare or Medicaid has been stalled by the government. You don’t know if I started carrying my birth certificate and passport everywhere I go just so I don’t get deported to El Salvador. You don’t know how many of my health insurance claims have been denied.
It’s like telling a soldier to ignore the war that things could be worse and they should enjoy life. I don’t think it’s a shit opinion to say that carpet bombing children is wrong. I think you’re projecting. You don’t know what life is like for most. You don’t know how bad things have gotten for most. You just know that things are good for you and your social circle and that everyone should make you feel comfortable and happy about it. Go find an echo chamber if that’s what you want.
It’s weird to be called zealous.
Like, I’m just a normal fucking person in a time where people (including children) are getting kidnapped by the government for being brown. Trump pardoned violent criminals and their ring leaders as well as corrupt billionaires while pissing away our tax money into carpet bombing a nation of 48% children.
Fucking good for you if don’t mind the taste of boot, but I’m watching our way of life begin to collapse. Slapping the ‘politics’ label on it and feels like a load of bullshit.
I mean, politics encompass everything. There is no escape, simply a tolerance for one flavor of politics over another. You may be in a position that views news and opinions as an annoyance, but I’m not free to forget what’s at stake.
Not necessarily. Look at things like America’s got talent. You sell your act to get world wide recognition. You can only become valuable by promising that value to a corporation with means to market your talent.
I feel like music is becoming corrupt. A tool to pander, an advert, measured by the ability to reach the largest audience. It’s supposed to be about sending a message, but it feels like we’re being sold one.
The internet exists and now more than ever people have the tools and resources to create, so it’s wild that only big brands have such an iron monopoly on creativity. It’s super disappointing.
You can get an audio compressor extension on most browsers too. It functions by reducing volume above a threshold and increasing overall output to compensate.
On the flip side, if a poor audio mixer overly does this to make their track sound louder, services such as YouTube penalize the volume of the entire audio track.
Human ears are more sensitive to certain sounds, so boosting certain frequencies can make something sound louder without necessarily increasing the overall amplitude of the sound waves (air pressure).
I’m no mechanic, so anytime I work with a drill, it’s to unscrew someone’s pervious work. I just jam the plus shaped head into the plus shaped hole and pray, just as the lord intended.
That’s good to know. Hoping someone can figure it out. There’s someone who got the m.2 working supposedly. Might see if I can tinker with it.

Prism is the best
Just started the switch to fedora. It’s actually really good. I played minecraft with my spouse and after turning off mouse acceleration, it felt great. My favorite games are all on steam. Only things that are rough is professional software. Also, my $250 elgato capture card doesn’t support Linux. Windows is definitely going to need to stick around for me.
You count just say you disagree and explain why it upset you.
Yes. You learned not to touch a hot stove either from experience or a warning. That fear was immortalized by your understanding that it would hurt. An AI will tell you not to touch a hot stove (most of the time) because the words “hot” “stove” “pain” etc… pop up in its dataset together millions of times. As things are, they’re barely comparable. The only reason people keep arguing is because the output is very convincing. Go and download pytorch and read some stuff, or Google it. I’ve even asked deepseek for you:
Can AI learn and understand like people?
1. Learning: Similar in Some Ways, Different in Others
2. Understanding: AI vs. Human Cognition
3. Strengths & Weaknesses
✔ AI Excels At:
❌ AI Falls Short At:
4. Current AI (Like ChatGPT) is a “Stochastic Parrot”
5. Future Possibilities (AGI)
Conclusion:
AI can simulate learning and understanding impressively, but it doesn’t experience them like humans do. It’s a powerful tool, not a mind.
