I’ve heard that newer generations are becoming less tech literate on average than previous generations. They don’t try to fix their device, they just expect it to work. When it doesn’t, they don’t have the troubleshooting skills to fix it. They never had the opportunity to learn them.

A couple of the “mistakes” are actually just normal. The winglets one, the angle is maybe a little extreme, but planes have upturned winglets. The asymmetric engines, that’s one way to transport a jet engine, just bolt it onto the wing of a plane.

By recognizing it’s not winnable without full-scale NATO mobilization and therefore we should stop sabotaging peace talks and just get a deal done so we can stop throwing Ukranian men into the meat grinder?
That’s obvious to you to do, yes. You have experience with Linux.
I watched a video of a Linux noob trying it for the first time. They chose Mint, and a significant amount of problems arose from the fact that mint is still on an old kernel version, and there was little to no indication from the OS or from cursory googling that updating it would fix the issue or even that you should do that.
Most of the risk of prion disease is from the brain.

Oh no, taxes! What else scares you, women of the age of the majority?
If the state can incentivize charity to negate the effects of capitalist naked self interest, why can’t the state just… help directly?

The information it generates comes from the model. The information from the model comes from the internet. The information it generates does not come from the internet. A to B to C, not A to C. I don’t know how to explain this more simply without crayons, the information from the internet does not exist within the model, but the average of the information can be recreated by the model. That is not what a fucking search engine does. A search engine doesn’t tell you the average results for your query, it gives you the most relevant results. At least, they should and used to. I can understand the confusion if you’ve only used a search engine in the past 3 years.
ChatGPT is not a search engine, it generates predictions on what is the most likely text completion to your prompt. It does not pull information from a database. It is a mathematical model. Its weights do not contain the training data. It is not indexing anything. You will not find any page from the internet in the model. It is all averaged out and any niche detail is lost, overpowered by more prevalent but less relevant training data. This is why it bullshits. When it bullshits it is not because it searched for something and came up empty, it is because in the training data there simply was not a sufficient number of occurrences of the answer to influence its response against the weight of all the other more prevalent training data. ChatGPT does not search anything.
Asks the fucking developer of lemmy if they’re lost. fucking lmao
