It basically needs to be a sea, or at least a very large lake, supporting an eco system of some kind if the body’s not going to removed at any point.

Two minds. I definitely think once you’ve put something out there it belongs to the community and it’s really pretty selfish and self absorbed to delete a post. On the other hand I try to remember that nothing on Lemmy or any of these platforms is really that important and while it might suck to have wasted a bit of time on it, it just doesn’t matter that much.

I wonder if there’s a kind of positive feedback loop with one’s own thoughts being mistaken for other entities’ voices and the contents of the those thoughts.

For example, if you get a bit freaked out by suddenly hearing an unidentified voice in your head, you might fear it, and if you fear it and think it malevolent, you might start to imagine what type of things it might want or say and then by imagining it and simulating it, you essentially create the very thoughts this malevolent entity ultimately speaks to you but since you can’t identify the source as yourself and it becomes the voice of this malevolent entity.

So this will obviously be personal, as you said maybe you just want validation for something you’d do anyway, but on the face of it without having access to the emotional and self fulfilment aspects of each proposition, leaving sounds like a really bad idea.

Leaving for higher pay, leaving for a new lifestyle and adventure in a new location, leaving for work you’d never have considered but will be really unusual and interesting or leaving for lower lay and insecurity but in a field you’ve always wanted to be involved and is worth more to you than the money and security; sure that all makes sense but unless I’m mistaken this sounds as though the other job is just a different job not one that holds a special appeal to you.

So unless there’s some extra psychological component to this, I can’t really see the advantage.

I wonder if the noise situation would still be apparent if the model trained only on Ghibli style anime drawings.

Well what have you come up with then?

I knew what this was going to be before I clicked it. Such an excellent film.

Wow those rats are HUGE. This is AFTER they’ve been barbecued so they’ll have had heads and fur removed and shrunk from moisture loss and they still look that big. Wouldn’t want to find one of those things before they’re barbecued.

Mac OS has always worked well enough. It’s much worse now in my opinion than it was since High Sierra but it’s still fine. Also, I fear it’d be quite difficult to get Linux working on an M2 MacBook Pro for dubious benefit to me.

If I was on a PC though, I’d definitely try Linux out, really don’t like Windows 11 and didn’t love Windows 10

I think in both cases that was already pretty well proven to be the case wasn’t it?

Imagine how crazy it would be as tech advanced through the ages and people create their own artificial sound and eventually realise that that sounds from the mysterious artifact from the future was playing music BACKWARDS and there’s discernible lyrics.

I haven’t really tried but I think if you were trying to use LLM generated text deceptively the model could probably do exactly as you describe already so long as you prompt it to do so clearly enough.

I don’t understand this in English. ‘Whole time’?

I do, but I sometimes wonder why I bother. In the Play store, the information is pretty frequently inaccurate. It used to be that absolutely everything was asking for every permission and collecting every form of data under the sun. These days I far more frequently see the claim that “this app doesn’t collect any data” only to discover that the app will have a website with a detailed privacy policy (for the app, not the site) outlining all the data they’re collecting that they theoretically aren’t collecting. I really don’t understand how that’s allowable but it surprised me.

Typically these days I try my best only to use things I can find on fdroid. Sounds like that’s about to no longer be an option next year though.

I thought I did, because people were saying he was the “change my mind” guy and I remembered him from some internet memes a looonng time ago. Turns out that wasn’t even Charlie’s thing, he just kind of adopted it and was known for that. So yeh, I thought I knew who he was and turns out he was even less significant.

The specific application in this instance was that it creates “progress notes”. Admittedly, as I have only the information from the article itself, having no background in this field myself, I can only make assumptions what those are like, but as the name implies it’s charting a client’s progress through therapy and would also imply to me a lot of summarising of information gleaned during sessions. I guess in as much as it also would necessarily have to create a transcript in doing this for you, I guess it also provides that too. This is portrayed as tedious and time consuming work by the creators of the service, who obviously have a vested interest in casting it in such light, but taken at its word, I would say in my opinion the advantage would be in automating some of the tedious and time consuming aspects of the job.

As I suspect you were driving at from the tenor of the question, there’s a lot of ways this could go wrong, in particular privacy concerns when this service is offered in the manner that it is here where it’s processed outside of the therapist’s own clinic by 3rd parties and information is shared with additional parties and used for many purposes with only the flimsy promise of “de-anonymisation” which appears to be hollow. It could also maybe affect how the therapy is conducted, making decisions about how to summarise this information that will influence what decisions a therapist makes and perhaps that therapist might have summarised it differently if doing the notes themselves, then again this all hinges upon how effective it is considered to be. If it can be evaluated and found to be generally good, then it seems tentatively like this could be a pretty helpful tool for a therapist. But in general, my comment was really more directed at what I feel like is a sad state of affairs across the board with recent tech advances including generative AI as applied in any aspect of life or work, that I think is often lost in these conversations where the technology really shows promise or is quite impressive but because of the manner of its development or the surveillance profit model, it’s basically tainted and ruined. I feel like I often come across commentary that fails to make the distinction between the negative aspects of how these techs have come about and are monetized and the tech itself where the latter is simply cast as inherently undesirable even when there’s clearly reason enough for people to find it appealing in the first place for it to end up in use.

You know, as with a lot of these tech advances that impinge upon privacy and put us at risk in the name of profit, the buy-in, the thing they’re offering in exchange, IS actually pretty worthwhile. This is extremely useful. It’s such a shame that all this cool Star Trek shit that I would have been giddy about as a kid has been realised, but at a sinister and often hidden cost.

Is there any way this can be done on local metal? Would it achieve the same level of accuracy and sophistication of the progress notes? Because if this can be offered to the therapists that wanted it enough in the first place that they either knowingly or unwittingly sacrificed their patient’s privacy for it, maybe they can be given an alternative.

Now use your simulation of Minecraft in Minecraft to build a computer to play Minecraft.

They’re even wearing little chef hats

Gee that’s a real removed ain’t it perplexity?
