There are also hard mathematical limits stalling AI growth. Frontier models haven’t improved in like a year despite being fed money by basically the entire global economy. Diminishing returns on steroids basically. They’re already at the limit of what they can make, and going further gives a much smaller improvement in the model, and now I hear there might not be enough human written material on the internet to train them.

It also looks like hallucinations are inherent to LLMs and you can’t get rid of them. It’s a side effect of the model. What commercial applications are there then, if you can’t guarantee the output? It’s worse than a human for most things since it doesn’t know truth from lie and will confidently say both as if they’re fact. It also looks like prompt injection isn’t something you can fully guard against either.

What’s the value proposition when you can’t trust the output and the model might give a massive refund or discount to a customer and the courts rule the AI speaks on behalf of your company?

Don’t give the AI MAGAs any ideas.

And back then nobody asked why do we need a mountain sized synthesizer if the children itself make already all the funny noises.

You’ve used it once 2+ years ago and wrote it off completely. Do you also still do your laundry with a wasboard and clothesline? Is the Internet just a fad also?

I just don’t get why people like you exist. You guys have the stupidest fucking arguments for why not wanting to use the regurgitation machine that murders the environment and causes people to kill themselves is bad.

But, like, do you still use NFTs? That was the future. It was so the future. Same fucking arguments from the same fucking mouth-breathing dipshits.

And using AI does not even make you faster or better at what you do. It can increase output, and it can cause you to do a shit job, and it can falate your ego so you think you are soooo much better and bigger than everyone else, you big strong muscly man, you. You’re basically just saying that workers can never and should never have any fucking downtime, ever. They cannot stop. They must always, always produce, more and more. And, like, fuck all the way off. You don’t need to output more. You do not need to be faster. You don’t need AI, even if it was as good as people pretend it is, which it is not!

Because AI sucks. It isn’t good at anything other than replicating an amalgamation of the data that is fed into it. Anyone that says it is good at any other thing is just shit at that specific thing and doesn’t know any better. LLMs are just huge giant matrices full of coefficients matching language segments. They don’t know jackshit. They have relatively small context windows compared to even the dumbest motherfucker on this planet and people working on making LLMs better are running out of shortcuts to make them better. The money they have been lent needs to start making it back. And they can’t make money because they are subsidizing everyone using AI with that venture capital because it still hasn’t made a fucking dime yet.

Don’t worry, guys. We just need to keep feeding more data into it! It’s so much better, guys, I swear! This one won’t hallucinate all the time, bro, I swear! Just one more model, it’s so close!

I agree its pandoras box but I disagree about the quality of life it brings. What it is creating is larger electric bills that is strangling the lower class, killing consumer low end computers which also harms the lower class, creating a dependency which will likely increase in price, lowering childrens critical thinking (according to studies private schools are not being as affected), killing jobs, oh and the fuck ton of effect it has on climate change which also affects the lower class more.

From a worker standpoint, while you’re researching that thing you can find for yourself, someone of equal skill to you that is leveraging AI has solved 3 of those issues.

And I’ve rejected their code for unnecessary complexity and issues they overlooked all three times so actually nothing was solved. AI does not increase productivity. At all. Study after study after study has confirmed this. AI can spew out what sounds reasonable to people of low skill. That’s it.

I don’t use AI, but I’ve watched enough other people who’s intelligence I used to respect devolve into token monkeys who understand nothing anymore.

For some it is. For others it being able to remove barriers and obstacles to create a new website you’ve been wanting to.

You’ve used it once 2+ years ago and wrote it off completely. Do you also still do your laundry with a wasboard and clothesline?

Okay but one of those is an artform and the other is physical labor.

Programming doesn’t really equate to physical labor like that.

I have a family member addicted to these (well, not Chinese…). It’s pretty much all 100% slop, the voices, the animation, the script. My head hurts just seeing how it cuts every 5 seconds when I casually see it. The voices are so horribly soulless. The writing is inane and tortuously paced.

But people eat it up. Similar to (and large audience overlap) with people who toss massive money at shitty mobile games.

I’m not sure about the script or voice acting as I don’t understand Mandarin, but visually the ENTIRE thing is AI rendered.

If you think those datacenters being built are for LLMs only, I have a bridge to sell you.

ML and LLMs both need massive compute to work with the data sets involved.

Dude, the math says it would be cheaper to fund research into necromancy to revive the actual Shakespeare than this.

I hope this is sarcasm >_<

Upvoted for the sheer mic drop moment. Well done.

Foes it works on scanned image PDF?

No, we aren’t.

Is that a new fringe edge compute mixture of experts from Antro-GPTx? Sounds gemini-flipiti-rad!

The losing that you’re talking about happens on the scale of centuries, not years. History shows that empires built on malice can last for centuries. Look at the Romans, for example. Even the Soviet Union lasted 70 years.

If this echo dies out in a hundred years, what good is that going to do my son and myself?

Yes but we are effectively disconnected from our mutual self interest. We should already have risen up together and our complacency is a testament to their existing ability to pacify us.

Wtf are you talking about? Do you even know the nature of data usage today? You can’t identify reality from science fiction?

AI enables them to better do what they have already been doing with analytics and user data. They are already doing it and have been for decades.

I’ve seen it first hand on smaller software products during analytics reviews and telemetry design discussions during preproduction through product launch and post launch. I know the questions that gets asked, the purpose of a telemetry hook for a user action, heard what they wished they could track and why. I know how they can cohort a user base, how they extrapolate and predict user behavior and user characteristics from that data to target content. There’s laws already written to prevent some data collection because of what is known can be done. That’s a small software product with a few millions users, not Amazon or Google who have billions of users, many of whom give them access to their entire phone telemetry at all times, cross device access and service wide account tracking, across decades of their lives. Location, region, timezone, battery usage, app usage, age, phone numbers, address, gender, mac ids, wifi connections and data usage etc etc etc.

With just my gender and age, you can make predictions, of some accuracy, using existing research data, about my life, who I am, what I think and how I behave. Every single piece of data more allows further clarity and breadth. That knowledge is what gives them more and more accurate predictions about me, you and all of us. Now they want cameras everywhere, microphones everywhere, OS real ID and VPNs to be banned so there is no anonymity. They want as much data as possible because they now have a data pattern recognition system(LLMs) that can effectively make use of that amount of data.

FFS, this isn’t science fiction anymore, it’s here, now. And those companies have never had your, or my, interests or well-being in mind. They will use it for power, as they always have.

“Generative” is a misnomer. It will never generate anything new, it can only regurgitate existing ideas based on patterns that already exist. It’s very good at pattern recognition and summarizing, but lacks the ability to form a distinct new idea.

It’s generating a prediction of our behavior for them to use to better control us.

I wonder what all is in the deepseek code that is malicious. I’d like to try it but don’t want a million Mb/s of tracker shit across my network and can’t run it myself.

The engine is a single C file (c/glm.c, ~2,400 lines)

That file is almost 6k lines. The style also makes my eyes bleed. Why do people pretend stuffing 6k lines of code with almost no whitespace and meaningless variable names into a single file is a good thing? I’ve seen this a lot recently

Yeah this article is already outdated and poorly researched

~1 token per second (storage bound gen4 nvme)… Some of us have places to be.

Don’t get me wrong. Its impressive that it can run at all, but honestly the usecase is exceedingly narrow. You’d have better results with a structured quantized gpu-only gemma or qwen workflow. Quality over quantity, rely on validation and a structured process: lots of cross-model review and iteration loops with spec and test driven dev. You could probably get a working alpha by the time colibri set up the environment.

I think ive missed a reference, how does that link contribute to ddosing?

Thousands of years of research into a short interpretation

Neither of them really fit, but AI is a very marketable term. So basically anything that does stuff on a computer will be labeled that when someone wants to sell it badly enough.

And how much research have you done into astrology? Point made.
