All of that wannabe AGI horseshit is preventing these things from specialization and becoming more efficient and useful IMO.

In my recent usage of LLMs I’ve come to think of them as a type of eye-poppingly expensive, inefficient interpreter.

Losing a lot of the bullshit could make them efficient and inexpensive. To an extent, that’s what Anthropic has already been doing by making models that are mostly code focused.

Haha

Before he described the noise I was assuming he lived by a highway, because that’s exactly what it sounds like in the video.

Eh, not really, and it isn’t really an argument but more of a lighthearted prediction.

I think the big question is whether or not the “frontier” models continue to be available and evolve, because the business model for running them seems very unsound.

I kinda hope the AI bubble busts, and that afterwards some of the efforts turn toward making open source models more performant and powerful.

I think in five years — if the tools manage to stick around — finding coders that can work without AI assistance will be like finding skilled assembler developers.

EDIT: Yep I’m definitely a bot because I typed an em dash. You can be a bot too on Ubuntu by hitting control+shift+u and then typing 2014 (the last year of semi-sanity in US politics).

Just what everyone needs, the Internet of things wired into their brain. No problems with that ever. No sir. /s

AI chatbots could dissect your children and we’d still keep them. We’re finished caring about anything but money and power.

I’d like to imagine a different world from this. One where anyone gives a shit about what happens to someone else. Maybe in the next life.

It’s almost like it really fucking sucks.

Other lawmakers are assholes that don’t care about you in the slightest.

I can’t tolerate surveillance software on my PC that I use to develop surveillance software!

How are they preventing public release then?

Look it’s either skynet or it fucking isn’t.

It seems clear to me that cloud LLMs have the same scaling problems and demand concerns that cloud gaming did.

Oh well, maybe regular people will have to still run software locally after all. 🤷

This is fine IMO, because you shouldn’t use the smart features in the first place. Just get a 3rd party streaming box. The ONN one is like $25. (Or if you’re a giant nerd hook your computer to your TV.)

Reading this made me notice it again so thanks I guess.

I thought about lying on my last report but decided to not. At this point they’re going to have to fire me if they can’t accept the truth. I’m not lying to save my skin.

Yeah, I don’t get too deep into that game. I do have some higher-ish quality headphones and speakers though. I also find that subwoofers are largely underrated by audio snobs.

Not here to argue I can hear the difference, because I can’t. But in audio collecting where the size and burden of even large lossless files isn’t much different from lossy files, why care? I download the flac files and compress upon delivery to the client where the space might be of a larger concern.

I don’t care if AI is useful, it’s not this useful. And it sure as shit isn’t going to see the returns they expect.

And how. Making coders slightly more efficient really just isn’t worth this much. There’s also going to be hell to pay when software created by all of the vibe-coding is found to be full of security holes.

They want to pitch this as unemployment causing efficiency gains, but this shit clearly can’t do anyone’s job that wasn’t already automatable through regular software.
