The end of physical media is neigh


Very sad news for me personally.  Honestly this struck me as hard or harder than hearing about the death of a beloved artist.   With the advent of machine learning and AI controlling our music listening we are becoming a world without any control at all over our music or movie culture.

AI is today's cotton gin. You can say the same about streaming. Pretty soon AI will be used to seal the deal with some variation of this to win you over and you'll be content, happy in knowing just how convenient everything is:

A computing body/brain may stay happy seeing how easy all things are but those who believe in themselves not in control tool search not for comfort mainly but for meanings. And meanings cannot be manufactured even with A.I.

I am not a computing brain. I own a non modified body +soul+spirit...

Your post about the key areas of mathematics needed to create and use Large Language Models (LLM) is a model of clarity. I intuitively found it intelligible and logically organised.

But I see that you used a LLM to create it!

Could I suggest that you feed your future posts through a LLM to assist readers like me to understand what you are trying to get across.  But please don't turn into a cyborg!

For the record...

 

I did not misspell the title of this thread.  I typed it correctly but Audiogon's server software changed it.  Horrible bug that creates typos where none existed before.  I know others have suffered from this too.  << ahem, cough cough >>

Some might see the benefit of AI but many know that it was not designed to help humanity. Most of us have enough media to get us through until the last light flickers on AI
