LLMs are Large Language Models and generate text, not images.
(ok, LLMs can’t count either but still)
I was lazy the other day and I asked gemini to set an alarm for me, then asked how long it was until that alarm. Not even fucking close to the right amount of time. I figured it would be smart enough to just subtract for me…
Should have said 8 hours and 2 mins… Nope, just made up a time
Alarm set for 37:80 repeating every Blernsday
Since when can Gemini do anything regarding your phone? I’ve tried to do similar thing like a month ago, and it did say that it doesn’t support these actions.
Apparently they are adding more actions with time. At some point maybe I’ll be bothered to try it again
I think what they are talking about is the Gemini app which was installed from the play store it likely doesn’t have access to everything. Android put a update that integrated it to replace androids assistant. I assume it is the same one they are rolling into the Google Home and whatever so they all work the same and sync through the Home app. (Haven’t tried any of that, I keep off most everything these days. Used to love playing with new tech… Now I’m just tired)
It replaced the Google assistant in standard android. Overall it is a worse experience for me so far. It tries to give much more information and isn’t as easy to navigate to me. Most common things I would do is set alarms, say things like “directions to Orange county DMV” or wherever. The alarms have gotten better but assistant always used to say, “your alarm is set for 6am” and id see a thing on screen that would say 12 hrs and 22 mins until the alarm and it would disappear about 3 seconds after it created it. Gemini doesn’t have that. And if I ask for directions, it reads off things for like 30 seconds and makes it hard to just click on map or what not (nonsense shit too, like reading off the GPS coordinate, pronouncing all the pronunciation). I didn’t go out of my way to update it, it’s just a cheap Motorola phone because I broke my old Pixel in Phoenix on a work trip. For a $70 phone though, it really does do all I need these days though. First phone I’ve had that I can use it for hours during the day and the battery doesn’t die by the end of the day, because the CPU/GPU aren’t good enough to require high power use, haha. Not sure how it works with other phones these days but I used this phone to map 2 locations (about 20 miles total), make a phone call (30 mins), check out Lemmy (1.5 hours waiting), then turned it off, and came back 37 hours later and turned it on and my battery was at 92%. Sometimes having a slow processor has perks I guess.
Right but as I said in the other thread as well, what do you think is handling the text part of text-to-image creation tools?
Image generators are reverse llms, tbf. Steve Mould has a good explanation of it.
well, ish. llms have a vector space of words, image generators of features. they use a second model to associate words with features. Steve’s explanation is a great intro but for a deep dive i recommend Self-Cannibalizing AI from 37C3.
April of '74? Did they predict the future or is the issue date just another gag? I know they recently started printing the magazine again, so I truly am not sure if this is a new one or an old one…
'shopped art and cover text. the original cover art was the finger, though… just not fingers
Yes was going to say it would have had to have been designed by generative AI to have five fingers and a thumb. LOL
Pasting my comment from the other post of this addressing OP:
What is this from? Did you print this? Why would you leave the og price and date tho? And no context? C’mon now this is an interesting story. But also, not something actually made by MAD Magazine… unless you work there? For those who don’t know what this is referencing:
https://dangerousminds.net/comments/mad_magazine_gives_america_the_finger
And as far as I can tell OPs image is not an actual MAD cover.
This eddition of MAID magazine hits different.
TIL the MAD magazine is still around
Yup! And reprinting editions that are 50 years old!
Not to be a party pooper but I’m pretty sure this isn’t a real mad cover, unless op works at mad this looks like a fan creation.
Oh crap, I forgot to write “/s”
ah beans, my bad
ah beans
A fart, a fart
It’s good for the heart
It sets the body at easeIt’ll warm up the sheets
You can set it alight
And it fumigates all of the fleas
But they actually are reprinting stuff with new covers
It sounds like the magazine is on terminal care
You need to be more critical of the media you consume.
Huh?
This is not real.
But MAD magazine is indeed still around and they are making the next one about AI. Cover seems to be different though
Tiny eye would only turn up the og cover, did you find any copies or links to this anywhere else? I would def believe this was an alt cover posted somewhere by a staffer/artist but I couldn’t find anything that had this image referenced.
I didn’t find where this came from
I could have sworn they went belly up years ago
Considering they’re reprinting old stuff with only some new stuff in there, it doesn’t seem like they’re doing too hot
Ok wait what the fuck is the background to this photo? A circular box fan, the midsection of a child, and an N64 controller?
I think that’s a Chucky doll?
Ooh good eye
That’s looks more like they want to
