LLMs are more like vr goggles with the force of the entire plutocracy pumping up the bubble.
The existence of a bubble doesn’t not mean the technology is useless. The internet had its own bubble 25 years ago. That doesn’t mean it was useless, just that people were investing in anything even remotely related to the Internet, including stupid websites and wasteful ideas.
A junior developer is fundamentally untrustworthy. That’s why you don’t give them access to the fucking prod database and backups.
AI is non-deterministic, sure, but selling these services with such a wide possibility space between “deterministic” and “random” behaviors is unethical and immoral.
We don’t know what the prompt and past input was. Maybe it wasn’t as “random” as you make it out to be. A company stupid enough to let LLMs touch their prod database is going to include a bunch of other stupid inputs.
You’re approaching this from the perspective of “all LLMs are bad so don’t use them”, which is its own version of unethical and immoral. A company that isn’t using LLMs is like a company not using the Internet.
LLMs are useful, everybody should use them to some capacity, and understanding a technology is far far better than spouting off ignorant bullshit like this.
Do yourself a favor: download a free model on HuggingFace, learn how they work, experiment with the technology on your own video card. It doesn’t have to be some super-powered video card. You can get models that fit in a 8GB card just fine.
Well, they have to hit the target on this one first.
Tinder takes action against AI profiles, created by OpenAI, by making users scan eyes with identity verification created by OpenAI.
And who’s you guys?
You and I must have been watching different videos.
That would involve a level of risk that a corporation that bought out a corporation that bought out Blizzard is not allowed to take. But, of course, they will gladly take billions of dollars and light it on fire for shitty decisions like the Metaverse or laying off tens of thousands of their own staff.
It’s not even fair to call them Blizzard any more. They are Microsoft. Any time somebody boots up WoW, it’s Microsoft World of Warcraft. Just like it’s Microsoft Minecraft, Microsoft Call of Duty, Microsoft Fallout, and Microsoft DOOM.
Stop calling them by ancient names like they haven’t been fully absorbed into the mega-corporation. Blizzard is gone, and has been for at least a decade.
Yes, please, read the apocalyptic fever dream of a crazy man as proof that god exists. I’m totally convinced!
The city has spent way too much money preparing for this thing.
FIFA and the Olympics scam every city to spend way too much money for their events.
The NYT is now compromised. Has been for several years now.
The joke that starts a new chapter…
Featuring the single best joke ever told in a video game.
Their campaigning there is almost completely ineffective. They’ve been shoved down the list by the likes of Elon and the Rogan “manosphere”.
Well, yeah, because the fascists that run Shitter hate the EFF and everything it stands for. And they ain’t very subtle about how they were trying to shape the platform into some right-wing white supremacist haven.
Again, this is a predictable turn of events, and they should have left much earlier.
but it might be overdue
By at least two years. Better late than never, I guess, but EFF should have been one of the first ones jumping ship to newer, freer options.
I don’t need to install DeArrow. I just don’t subscribe to YouTubers that rely on clickbaity thumbnails and titles.
Having a face on them is one thing. Sometimes the person is the subject of the video, and it’s worth highlighting that in the video.
Having the person making the video staring at the camera, in a pose that says “look at how attractive I am” is another.
Also, this is not as hard and fast as you make it out. Here, I’ll post some random examples in my feed:
In fact, I had to dig to find videos that would really qualify:
Even (most) of the female YouTubers on my feed aren’t falling for it:
Meanwhile, LaurieWired’s entire catalogue is “look how attractive my face is!” This one doesn’t even have the subject in the thumbnail! It’s just her walking in a park. Also, what’s up with her videos from two years ago? Did she completely change her makeup style just to look more attractive in thumbnails?
All of her thumbnails are literally:
Why vape in the first place?
This is a technology community. LLMs are technology. If calling LLMs useful is considered glazing, then I’m not sure if you’ve eaten a proper doughnut.
