No, the thing is the people telling you to kill yourself. It isn't uncharitable, it is bordering criminal, especially if you went and did it. We're not going to just breeze past suicide encouragement when my entire point was that. It is ok for you to not like AI, it is not ok to attack people.

Not liking it is fine, attacking people who do, is not. I've been told to kill myself by anti-AI people because I had the audacity to suggest both people should be respected.

You have a right to control your data and identity. You have no idea what the service he's using is doing with your voice, your image if video, or anything else. If they asked me, I'd tell them sure. If they didn't ask, I'd tell them we'll be going with another contractor if you pull that again.

Not in a home contractor environment, but interviews, business calls, client support calls I see it quite regularly. I don't view it as invasive if they ask, but not asking is incredibly invasive. I like AI, but consent is vital in all of our lives, now more than ever.

The paper was published as a preprint in mid April along with the dataset used for anyone to review, it has barely existed long enough to be peer reviewed. The study was done with and by PhD virologists in the field and their contact info is available if you know other expert virologist for review.

It was evidence that 17% may not be close to accurate and both results should be questioned. Competition leaderboards show evidence that it doesn't hallucinate nearly that much. So we should verify what is tested in both the leaderboard and the original chart, what is repeatable and what isn't.

I think that sounds like a great thing to review when it releases. Current models are already outperforming PhDs in the lab, so I think it is important to focus on eliminating hallucinations more than increasing knowledge at this point.

You're referring to a hallucination rate of ~4% as a problem when a person is more likely to lie to you just because they're uncomfortable or nervous. I agree that improvement to as close to 100% should always be the goal but at 4% you're more likely to get a lie from a person.

They're not, they're being mixed together. You can toggle reasoning on or off in the latest OSS models, and I imagine the next big release from OpenAI will be the same.

So it hallucinates significantly less than people lie and the original chart shows 3.7 being 5 times worse than it actually is. 0.1% is within the statistical margin of error, they're likely the same but with Claude 4 being even more capable.

Then it doesn't matter what I say and you're just wasting time denying that the latest models hallucinate less which is shown in the graph. Reasoning models do hallucinate more and the latest non-reasoning models hallucinate very little, even less than shown in the graph.

No, you're talking about two different categories of models, which I've already addressed, nothing was ignored on my end at all. 🤷‍♀️ You, however, have been completely silent regarding any of that or the fact even newer models exist now with drastically lower hallucination rates reported.

Grok is from Musk, a narcissist and liar who literally trained the model to refuse to create negative content about him or Trump, I'm not surprised it lies in the slightest. I've never used it. Claude is the most trustworthy, built for research and science. ChatGPT is second, built for consumers.

o-Series models are a different model type altogether and were focused on reasoning, which allowed the models to solve much more complex problems but results in more hallucinations since the model is "thinking" and hypothesizing based on whatever data it has available.

No, GPT 4.5 is their biggest and most powerful general model, it is the largest generational model at 17 trillion parameters. However, it is slow and incredibly expensive. 4.1 was released as a step back to refocus on efficiency at 1.7 trillion, this did not perform well as you can see.

I'm more curious if the trend holds or if GPT 5 will hallucinate more or less. There is a problem with model collapse and diminishing returns on larger models. So I'd be interested in seeing if OpenAI can continue a downward trend in hallucinations or if GPT 5 is wholly unreliable.

GPT 4.5 and Claude 3.7 Sonnet were the latest models from each. As for o3 and o1, they were released a month apart. So in general yeah, they're the same generation. General availability of o3 was 3 months later, the numbers aren't representative of generations with OpenAI. Grok is the outlier.

What I hate so much is the big model censorship. Claude Sonnet is absolutely incredible at roleplay and narrative generation in dynamic RPG games. It rarely outright refuses to perform, but it is hard to risk an account ban if they somehow think your story about a knight murdering someone is real.

I would recommend trying Hugging Faces Spaces to trial the model you're interested in, see if it justifies the cost for your use case. I've found that anything above 70B has diminishing returns when compared to fine tuning and specialization. Leave the big general models to corps if unnecessary.

Yep, and I think that is why AI is beginning to excel in hard science. Things that are quantifiably unbiased like physics and math. We may find new algorithms, new formulae, new physical properties, but the underlying mechanics are inherently solid (for now lol) and AI adapts well to that.

Yeah, it definitely reflects the inherent bias in the data. Worse, there is no real way to eliminate the bias. The data it trains on is human, which is biased depending on the human. Even the reinforcement training is inherently biased by the human annotator. All data is tainted somewhere.

It is only a lot worse depending on the tolerance to error. Twice as bad doesn't mean bad. If the tolerance for error is 30% it is still far beyond acceptable.

I recently used Cline to refactor the GameSession and Ambiance/Audio Manager and just that was about 3500 lines. Refactor probably cut that in half, maybe 70% reduction. I'll message you.

Bahaha good, then this would be perfect. I have a private repo I've used to build a really complex AI powered TTRPG game for Vampire The Masquerade. I specifically set the rule as LLM code only. How big do you want it? I can add you on signal.

Do you know React, electron, and tailwind? If so, I have something you would probably loooove.

What do you mean by handling large scale traffic? Bluesky is the backbone, no infra needed for a client app that just interfaces with an external backend that's already at scale. I think you confused a client app with a full client/server Bluesky replacement. Each client is 1:1 input to output.

My phone deleted usability, but you probably got the idea.

A weekend for a decent MVP with some bug fixing and maybe some of you have some friends to poke at it nearby. That's probably what Bluesky itself took and then years of development lol

Depends on the genres you like. Metal is definitely Ashes of the Wake (20th Anniversary Edition) by Lamb of God

My general experience is that it is probably closer to 50/50. I let other family members try it as well and my dad and my partner plus my uncle are the only ones I've met who experienced sickness. My aunt and my cousin did not. So that's 3/8 from my limited data pool. My kids are in VR 2hrs a day.

They didn't, but high refresh rate and a wide fov helps. Also not everyone experiences VR sickness. I don't actually experience the issue with VR sickness and none of my three kids do either. We could play all day and I use smooth motion too. My dad and my partner, 30min tops and they're sick.

Oh yeah, there was. It was discontinued, not sure why, it was awesome. A mod adds it now, but like it started up and you were on a couch in a room looking at a TV all in Minecraft and then hopped into a world and it was Minecraft VR.

Not only that, but they're drawing down on you and you've even read an article from them. They never had a free article to begin with 🤣

I feel this, Maya was the first time it all just clicked. 3DS Max felt like I was creating with AutoCAD and Blender felt like an alpha product I couldn't use as well. Maya though, I made a whole ship and an animation in like 3 days my first time following a tutorial: youtu.be/F89QfpFhCx8?...

And yes, I know I'm a monster for refusing to ever use a linter or prettier on my code 💀

While testing the new dialogue box I think I've settled on VN style portraits with a name tag, reserving the box itself for text. I feel like VN portraits feel more personable for an RPG. @streetsofblood.bsky.social #gamedev #indiedev

It amazes me that this is what gets banned for community guidelines there but they allow MAGA to literally tell people they're going to die when they take over.

This and the dozen comical puns about the horribly named evil villains destroying our society is all the more evidence that we're living in a simulation and the game master has grown tired of our inability to figure it out, so he has played his final Trump card...

It's the exact same attack they made in Patreon and then Subscribestar. They'll be forced to remove anything related to whatever the processor deems as amoral or grotesque, adult content is just the most obvious. Lesser obvious example, Trevor and the teddy bear boyfriend in GTA V is high risk.
