If they’re random, they can not be racist. That’s my point. They’re returning output based on the data they’ve been fed (assuming we’re talking about training an LLM on Twitter).

I have noticed that North American grifters pretend that AI is much better than it is, thank you very much. I also notice that China is taking a different approach, with the population being significantly more hopeful about AI going forward as a result.

I think AI “critique” on Lemmy is, for the most part, North American backlash stemming from bad practices, overpromising, environmental destruction and a general financial grift that threatens jobs. Those are all very relevant and valid, but I think it completely misses the point to blame a technology rather than a political/economic system.

Eh, no. If you think you can offload your mental burdens onto any single source, then that’s a you problem, not an AI problem. LLMs are still getting better, but I don’t think we should hold our breaths to them getting to a point where no verification is needed. If you asked a human subject matter expert an important question, would you verify or would you just assume not only that they’re right, but also that you understood them correctly?

But your post really embodies everything that is off with AI “critique” on Lemmy. One paragraph: LLMs are just random (unlike true intellect which somehow presumably don’t emerge from probabilistic phenomena?). Next paragraph: LLMs are racist.

To be clear, the way AI is being pushed is bad in many different ways, and you didn’t even mention the worst examples which in my mind would be how AIs are currently being used to kill people, for example it is likely that it helped the US to murder 170 children in Minab. But again, that’s not a technology issue, it’s an issue with how humans interact with technology.

It’s the middle class that are the drivers of revolutions. Eliminate them, make people worry about rent and food, and there’s no energy for organization.

Same thing that happened to Iran in the past 10 years by the way.

It’s wild to me that people are constantly complaining how “bad” LLMs are, because what, it can make mistakes or it’s not orders of magnitude smarter than the smartest humans???

Yeah the push to use AI comes from above, and it’s not just in the US. Anyone who’s at the top levels of any company now can tell you that the party line is AI positivity and insistence that workers adopt it into their workflows, even if they themselves see little use for it or can find a way to incorporate it into their own workflows yet.

You didn’t miss much. This year was genuinely bad from a quality perspective. Finland was the only song that had any replay merit, and it was okay.

I’m expecting a fully streamed experience - compute offloaded to datacenters, beamed to your device via a swarm of satellites that block out the night sky, with an emphasis on a voice controlled user interface.

Right, I’m living in the past. Still though, Plasma6 just feels like a polished continuation of what Plasma has been all along. And that’s a good thing. When Plasma7 comes out in 12 years I expect it to be the same.

KDE was always niche before, but my understanding is that Plasma5 is all the rage now, and more distros are defaulting to Plasma.

As someone who still remembers when Plasma4 was announced it feels really nice to see just how little KDE has changed over the past two decades - all changes are pretty much optimizations and stability fixes. Goes to show how well-thought-out the vision for Plasma was from the start.

Followed these steps, ended up on the ceiling of my neighbor’s tea room.

I believe this is sometimes the case. I was called for an interview with a group of 15 other people ones. We were like a class, being interviewed as a group, and were supposed to solve some problems together. Nobody in that group could solve even the simple, obvious problems - we’re talking basic math and reading comprehension here. Got an email the next day informing me that they had I had not been selected for recruitment.

Comments are all like “this is a proud British tradition and I don’t see anything wrong with it, plus fuck all politicians let’s bully every single one of them so only the worst narcissists survive.”

I think it’s the fact that you’re not in control that is the main issue. You’re working to fulfill someone else’s vision for their benefit, not yours.

But yeah, the sitting still all day is another layer of unfulfilling.

Did you read Marx, or is it only privileged people who can read and/or have time for that in your mind?

We also have political caricatures. They look like this.

Apart from perhaps parenting, work is supposed to be the best, most fulfilling thing in life. The root crime of capitalism is alienation, the source from which every other of its more serious crimes flow.

Yeah if you published something like that in Sweden you’d get pitchforks shoved up your ass.

What the actual fuck. Nevermind the antisemitism for a second, why are they even bashing politicians based on appearance in the first place? British media is unhinged.

Some of us aren’t repressed!

Dang, that’s massive. Saab protects its software like nothing else.
