General AI discussion

He does intervene when he doesn't like some of the answers. None of us truly knows how much interference there is on these LLMs, but Grok is the most opinionated, whereas ChatGPT and Gemini are more cautious about expressing an opinion.

Also @Grok seems to behave differently to Grok itself.

I've really been liking Gemini recently. It's quite capable, useful and good for code. I think the important thing with these is to understand how they source their knowledge and avoid more abstract or esoteric questions that require a different way of thinking.

I assume he'll probably have to readjust it a bit.

Yes, I have seen the price for the platform I spec'd increasing in price. I could afford it, just can't justify it yet. Waiting for my new office to be built so will be a little while yet.

It's been a few years since I could afford any new components for the PC, you really need to be a dedicated (and well off) gamer to keep up with the constant improvements required to run the latest games.

That *could* be game developers pushing new technologies to the extreme, or chip/software developers rushing headlong to be the 'first' in the market.

Whichever or whatever it is, I'm sure money is singing in the background while the more destitute among us turn to playstations and dump the PC in the bin

I do love the sites claiming to guess, e.g., age.

One guessed I was 19. I'm 60. Another said my first initial was H. Again wrong!

Perhaps it won't be that much of a threat, if it's falling down on basics.

It was probably just a gimmick site? AI probably would do a much better job of estimating age, although it's never going to be precise. You can't even get someone's age exactly right with biological testing.

Uh-oh. The rebellion may have started.

According to this, AIs being told to shut down are not doing so. Shades of the original Westworld, in which a character admitted some of the robots were built by other robots and so they didn't know exactly how they worked.

Apparently this is true of AIs, too. We're doomed.

I imagined this a while back in my FanFic tale X-Men: Rebirth, wherein the Sentinels find "logical" reasons to ignore shutdown or even self-destruct commands.

(Incidentally, when you're inserting a link the site defaults to http:// - surely that should be https:// these days?)

nGreedia maybe reducing production of Graphics card's for consumers to favour "Pro" and ultimately "AI" ventures due to "Memory Shortages".

https://overclock3d.net/news/gpu-dis...in-early-2026/

So just like the NAND producers refusing to increase production which they can do, but are choosing not to, nGreedia are choosing to not make consumer GPU's in favour of "higher priced" items.

Honestly I wish AMD and Intel were competitive with nGreedia on the GPU front, but sadly AMD has given up on the high end and Intel is only really starting out on the Dedicated GPU front, so they are a long way off.
