Eh I’d be fine with a crosspost

It’s beyond satire that any politician thinks this is OK to say in any fucking context and little Rhonda should be in jail for it, prosecuted as an accomplice when someone actually goes out and does it

Why did anyone think that a LLM would be able to solve logic or math problems?

They’re literally autocomplete. Like, 100% autocomplete that is based on an enormous statistical model. They don’t think, they don’t reason, they don’t compute. They lay words out in the most likely order.

To be fair it’s pretty amazing they can do that from a user prompt - but it’s not doing whatever it is that our brains do. It’s not a brain. It’s not “intelligent”. LLMs are machine learning algorithms but they are not AI.

It’s a fucking hornswoggle, always has been 🔫🧑‍🚀

Cool, that narrows it down to “all of the above”

See, I get what you are saying here but you’re also doing the thing.

This post could read that ICE’s insane raids and deportations could simply be done without the assistance of the military.

Both your post and the OD post should clearly express that Trump DOESNT NEED ICE RAIDS IN THE FIRST PLACE, he’s just using fear of immigrants as a takeover. Like fucking Hitler did.

I don’t have the article but basically when the rich aren’t taxed proportionally, their wealth and therefore power grows, while the lower classes get squeezed harder as they must give up a greater portion of their wealth in order to fund the obligations toward said infrastructure that keeps the whole machine running.

When used inappropriately, they are one piece of the larger system that funnels all the wealth upwards at the expense of everyone and everything else.

Oh now I understand - the rich sold their soles for their fortunes! It all makes sense now.

It doesn’t work without 200 hours of un-fucking

Or they got mysteriously purged from voter rolls despite voting in every one for the past 5 elections for checks notes oh, Democrats

Really then why are they cramming AI into every app and every device and replacing jobs with it and claiming they’re saving so much time and money and they’re the best now the hardest working most efficient company and this is the future and they have a director of AI vision that’s right a director of AI vision a true visionary to lead us into the promised land where we will make money automatically please bro just let this be the automatic money cheat oh god I’m about to

Oddly enough, most of these fanatics either believe it to the letter or use it as a tool to manifest others into doing things in service of it coming true.

All you need for a prophecy to come true is enough people to believe it, apparently

It’s annoying that every middle manager is trying to become the hero of their company by pushing it inappropriately into every single field at the expense of productivity and jobs, while simultaneously the largest most powerful companies are slinging their SaaS solutions built on stolen data which are destroying communities of both the physical and hobby varieties and consuming more natural resources than all the fucking crypto scams of the last like 10 years

But yeah it’s neat I guess

Well hopefully it will be the start of actions, but I don’t have high hopes.

Going immediately to counter-assault gives ammo to the freaks who think their actions are justified and they will escalate. Same with the IDF after Oct 6th, same with the US government after gestures broadly literally everything since WWII.

Real responsibility means making a statement first. Real courage means following through if you get a response you don’t like.

The first action they took was the correct one. I have little faith they’ll find the courage to take the second one (but I’d love to be proven wrong)

In addition to what everyone else has said, they’re doing all this not-useful work replacing humans with unrealistic hype, but to do it they’re using up SO MUCH natural resources it’s astonishing.

They have caused chip shortages. They are extracting all the natural water from aquifers in an area for cooling and then dumping it because it’s no longer potable. Microsoft and Google are talking about building nuclear power plants dedicated JUST to the LLMs.

They are doing this all for snake oil as others have pointed out. It’s destroying the world socially, economically, and physically. And not in a “oh cars disrupted buggy whips” kind of way; in a “the atmosphere is no longer breathable” kind of way.

France literally issued a condemnation and called for them to all be released.

No, and to make that work using the current structures we use for creating AI models we’d probably need all the collective computing power on earth at once.

Man I got my start making games in HyperCard. I owed bill atkinson a lot for all the inspiration it provided me, even if it never ended with me finishing any of my pipe dream projects, I did learn to code And become an IT professional.

RIP Bill, you changed lives.

Therefore the laptop is the disk controller and if you gracefully shut down the OS it will take care of all the housekeeping tasks to prepare a disk for safe shutdown (flush cache to disk, park heads on spinning rust, etc) and then it will be safe to turn off the PSU.

Found it in my settings, not sure how I’ve missed it. Been a Bitwarden user since the first LastPass hack.

Woke of the day
