Thanks Donald, good luck in November

They absolutely do, and I have no idea why you’re so angry

The problem is not the LLMs, but what people are trying to do with them.

They are currently spoons, but people are desperately wishing they were katanas.

They work really well for soup, but they can’t cut steak. But they’re being hyped as super ninja steak knives, and people are getting pissed when they can’t cut steak.

If you give them watery, soupy tasks they can do successfully, they can lighten your workload, as long as you’re aware of what they are and aren’t good at.

What people want LLMs to be able to do, ie. “Steak” tasks:

• write complex documents

• apply complex knowledge/rules to a situation

• Write complex code and create entire programs based on vague description

What LLMs can currently do ie. “Soup” tasks:

• check this document and fix all spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors

• summarise this paragraph as dot points

• write a python program that sorts my photographs into folders based on the year they were taken

Half of Lemmy is hyping katanas, the other half is yelling “Why won’t my spoon cut this steak?!! AI is so dumb!!!”

Update: wow, the pure vitriol pouring out of the replies is just stunning. Seems there are a lot of you out there who have, in one way or another, tied your ego very strongly to either the success or failure of AI.

Take a step back, friends, and go outside for a while.

According to Wiki, the modern javelin event has an “unlimited runup”. I, for one, would like to test that wording of the rules

I agree, and it appears that I am not the only one

It’s true, we still don’t speak English in northern Queensland (Australia) lol

Howyagoincuntay?

I think we both understand the intention behind my statement

Do you honestly encrypt your porn? Why? (Assuming it’s legal)

Indeed, hopefully that will be added in the future

I know, I am too 😅

It was more of a minor troll haha

Orange man can’t even write a complete sentence, lol.

Nelson Mandela learned Afrikaans.

If you’re not learning everything you can about your opponent, how do you expect to beat them?

There’s already projects going for open source firmware for pre existing hardware, such as inkbox and KoReader

I’m also watching the open book project. I’m hoping that supporting it will enable things to progress to the point where it gets in the hands of schoolchildren in developing countries

Yes, they really do. There’s nothing that business types love more than smelling their own bad ideas and thinking it’s genius.

You can be sure that a CEO on $10 million thinks regular people would think nothing of subscribing to ten different services because he does personally, so what’s the big deal?

I’m not in IT but used to work with a very old terminal based data storage and retrieval system.

If the original programmers had implemented a particular feature, it was very easy to enter a command and have it spit out the relevant info.

But as times changed, the product outgrew its original boundaries, and on a regular basis clients would ask for specific info that would require printing out decades worth of data before searching and editing it to get what the client wanted.

I can not tell you how many times I heard the phrase, “Can’t you just push a button or something and get the information now??”

The thing that infuriated me the most was the idea that somehow we could do that, but didn’t want to, as if there was some secret button under the desk that we could push for our favourite clients. Ugh.

He’s using the website as a vehicle to promote his own messiah complex, and idiots like you fall for it because it makes you feel edgy by association.

Give a plausible reason why he didn’t release info about Russia.

I guess you would say that if you didn’t understand. Makes sense that you don’t, given that you’ve been sucked into the cult of assange
