After 1 month delay HUD has released the 2023 data
Is there a name of a phenomena when you expect someone to be equal or more knowledgeable as you are when discussing a topic? The Dunning-Kruger effect is when one overestimates their own ability. But is there an effect of overestimating someone else's? I feel as though that explains the reasoning.

There are works using slime mold as logic gates. But i do not think any work has gotten past that to make a full on computer.

aimco properties have been requesting tenants drivers licenses or passports to be scanned by facial recognition technology from their contractors in india and then sold to advertisers. They have been doing this since 2010, you cannot live without selling your soul to landlords and advertisers
sorry for the tldr heres the whole rambling Large language models can exhibit "hallucinatory behavior" and generate artificial content that does not correspond to facts. This does not truly anthropomorphize the models by imbue them with consciousness, however. They are generating outputs based on the statistical patterns in their training data, not through any internal experience or self-awareness.

The response to "how much opportunity is still in front of us for adversarial LLM systems that try to detect/control for hallucinations." is by nature infinite or none (as in its futile). As "hallucinations" are whatever the developer deems to be a "hallucination". To hallucinate anthropomorphizes the model to be a human actor and leads "treatment" like a drug to be administered. A physician saying that "oh my patient is hallucinating" they have a mental disorder. This implies that there is a ground truth the developer knows to "not hallucinations". To make a model with such procedures would inherently contain any bias from the development team. Using techniques like Constitutional AI to align models with ethical values, relies on someone making that "ethical value".

Statistical artifacts or general incorrectness in responses are a more accurate to this research. Adopting a "bias mitigation" mindset, viewing bias reduction as an ongoing process of detection and correction, not a one-time fix produces its own errors or inconsistencies is a better solution, as the red tape is out of scope of the model itself. Treat every model as rouge, similar to zero trust of a computer system. If the solution is not also an AI model, then you avoid a sort of Inventors Paradox by dehumanizing people into agents.

Both of these are ideas at the current state of AI is a social dilemma, that people have been warning about for years. The nature of the words we use change our mental model and perception of the tools we create. While history shows it is something in human nature to anthropomorphize items and tools like cars and boats, they do not talk back in a human readable format. If my car started to "hallucinate" I would think I am driving inside a Herby or some other living car. The parallels made between silicon and carbon are similar but profoundly inaccurate to our current understanding, but to go down that path is off topic. As an engineer please do not anthropomorphize your creations it is unhealthy and may lead to superficial relationships. To control "Statistical artifacts" or "hallucinations" is to be the same contextually, and there is always middleware and interface management, but to "hallucinate" changes how one may perceive the ai's functions. Please do not anthropomorphize LLM.

Please do not anthropomorphize LLM.

~8 years at best if everything goes well (rarely ever does), there are outliers like Polio took ~4 years, and Covid took ~1 year. But those are much different than RA.

I've been on HN for more than a decade, and it's definitely a not thing. I've never even done it myself.
