It's a surprisingly good comparison especially when you look at the reactions: frame breaking vs data poisoning.

The problem isn't progress, the problem is that some of us disagree with the Idea that what's being touted is actual progress. The things llms are actually good at they've being doing for years (language translations) the rest of it is so inexact it can't be trusted.

I can't trust any llm generated code because it lies about what it's doing, so I need to verify everything it generates anyway in which case it's easier to write it myself. I keep trying it and it looks impressive until it ends up at a way worse version of something I could have already written.

I assume that it's the same way with everything I'm not an expert in. In which case it's worse than useless to me, I can't trust anything it says.

The only thing I can use it for is to tell me things I already know and that basically makes it a toy or a game.

That's not even getting into the security implications of giving shitty software access to all your sensitive data etc.

The real question is when they're purchasing the child size targets.

This won't have terrible consequences at all.

Welcome to late stage capitalism where the game's made up and the points don't matter.

Privatize the profits and socialize the losses.

I've tried to use "AI" to help me with minor programming tasks, or to start basic projects, it's really bad. As in, it takes me more effort to fix the garbage it outputs than it would have to write it from scratch. In addition to that, it writes things badly in non-obvious ways. Junior engineers make similar mistakes to each other, because they're working logically. "AI" makes weird mistakes because it's not working in the same way a human mind does.

Til cromulent, thank you.

To save the Google: adjective with a humorous connotation meaning acceptable or adequate.

Gotta be able to boot Nazis. Otherwise it'll be Nazi bar.

I've just rejected firmware updates and will continue to do so as long as possible. If it gets to where I can't do that anymore for some reason I might leverage my professional expertise into remedying the situation more permanently.

They're getting worse too. Retroactively blocking third party toner cartridges.

Wait till they hear about the guy who destroyed an entire social media platform for the same reason.

Zwave is great too, but still no video. Wired is the answer.

Didn't they accidentally send supposedly private video to the wrong users recently?

Centrist Nazis, you know, like "I don't want to kill them all, I just want them to.... Not... Be... Here... Anymore..."

As a chiefs fan: see 2012. Not anointed, just incredibly lucky.
