I followed these steps, but just so happened to check on my mason jar 3-4 days in and saw tiny carbonation bubbles rapidly rising throughout.
I thought that may just be part of the process but double checked with a Google search on day 7 (when there were no bubbles in the container at all).
Turns out I had just grew a botulism culture and garlic in olive oil specifically is a fairly common way to grow this bio-toxins.
Had I not checked on it 3-4 days in I’d have been none the wiser and would have Darwinned my entire family.
Prompt with care and never trust AI dear people…
headline is inaccurate and downplays the incredible potential of ai. Google Gemini tried to kill this person AND their entire family
mods can you please ban “david gerard” or whatever his name really is. ai hate is already out of hand without people coming to push their agenda like this
unfortunately I am firmly in the pocket of the concept of fiat money, big small data, and whatever the opposite of a metaverse is
but also,
mods can you please ban “david gerard”
if I ever release an experimental electronic album I’m calling dibs on this track name
never trust AI
Statements from LLMs are to be seen as hallucinations unless proven otherwise by classic research.
We don’t need a fancy word that makes it sound like AI is actually intelligent when talking about how AI is frequently wrong and unreliable. AI being wrong is like someone who misunderstood something or took a joke as literal repeating it as factual.
When people are wrong we don’t call it hallucinating unless their senses are altered. AI doesn’t have senses.
It’s not a “fancy word” here, but a technical term. An AI making things up is actually called hallucination.
The wikipedia page you linked to actually states that the term is being pushed by industry (Google, Meta, OpenAI) and that its use is criticized by some researchers.
oh but you see, it’s “hallucination” when LLM is wrong and it’s hype cycle fuel when it’s correct. no, LLMs don’t “hallucinate”, that implies that this state is peculiar, isolated, triggered by very specific circumstances. LLMs bullshit all the time, sometimes they are right, sometimes not, the process that produces both types of response is the same. pushing for “hallucination” tries to obscure that. use of “hallucination” also implies that LLMs know something, they don’t, by design. it just so happens that if they “get” things right, it’s because it appeared in training material enough times to make an impression in model.
It’s slowly refining its approach. No-one went for the pizza glue or eating rocks, so…
Reddit still delivers sometimes.
Huh. I was making my own garlic oil this way (without advice from an LLM mind-you) and I was today years old when I learned this carries the risk of botulism (albeit small) , so in a way, an LLM has potentially saved my life by causing the chain of events which taught me something new.
I’ll see people responding to fucken lemmy comments with “i ran the question through gpt and…” like what the fuck?
It’s literally the same thing as saying “I asked some RANDOM dude and this is what he said. Also I have no reason to believe he’s even the slightest bit educated.”
If you really wanna just throw some fucking spaghetti at the wall, YOU CAN DO THAT WITHOUT AI.
This is coming from someone who hates google, but if this person’s entire family had died, I would put a LOT of that blame on them before google.

That would really put the “uh oh” in your spaghettios
