ChatGPT is bullshit
Recently, there has been considerable interest in large language models: machine learning systems which produce human-like text and dialogue. Applications of these systems have been plagued by persistent inaccuracies in their output; these are often called “AI hallucinations”. We argue that these falsehoods, and the overall activity of large language models, is better understood as bullshit in the sense explored by Frankfurt (On Bullshit, Princeton, 2005): the models are in an important way indifferent to the truth of their outputs. We distinguish two ways in which the models can be said to be bullshitters, and argue that they clearly meet at least one of these definitions. We further argue that describing AI misrepresentations as bullshit is both a more useful and more accurate way of predicting and discussing the behaviour of these systems.
Bash Scripting on Linux
The Bash Scripting Essentials series will teach you everything you need to know in order to write effective bash scripts in Linux. The series starts with some introductory concepts, with each episode building on the last. By the end of this series, you'll be able to write your own bash scripts! The Bash Scripting series was one of the very first tutorial series on Learn Linux TV ever, so it's basically where it all started. Now, it's been remade and brought into the modern age. The new version of this series covers everything the original version did, with additional concepts added throughout.
Rust – the Ultimate Programming Language?
What makes a good programming language? Syntax? Compiler? Tools and ecosystem? It is tempting to say “all of that” but in that case, why there are so many different programming languages? All these components are very important but they alone can’t make the language “good”. One of essential things is the purpose — like languages for rapid development, or development of distributed algorithms, or general purpose for high-level and low-level applications, or easy to learn, or safe to use and so on.
