This should be the only response to these platitudes from these people ever. We know they couldn’t give less of a shit.

I just checked my own post history and it’s interesting because I have to go back 2 and a half months to even find a thread where I had a genuine disagreement with someone. But sure, months of being involved in friendly helpful conversations has no bearing, nor does the fact that I was accused of something I wasn’t doing in this instance. Yeah, I really turn any opportunity whatsoever to argue, sure guy, just as I’m sure that when someone accuses you of something you’re not doing you definitely don’t feel upset about it all ever for sure.

Hey guess what its stupid when you yell your relevant point at someone who has nothing to do with the point you’re making yet choosing them specifically to single out. Maybe choose to shit on someone who actually disagrees with your take. The main point is that people are downvoting it, you don’t actually know if I ever intend to view the art on it’s own merits, you’re making a shit ass assumption because other people are downvoting it and I made clear my distaste for Gibson. Fucking idiot.

You are snarking at someone whose Lemmy instance literally disabled downvoting when it was initially rolled out. I couldn’t downvote someone even if I wanted to. It’s also a major part of why I chose this instance. I never see downvotes, I only see upvotes.

Go preach and take your bullshit ass assumptions to someone else, shitbird. I can have my own opinion and it doesn’t mean I’m reflexively downvoting… Which leads me to…

Last but not least… I had actually upvoted this, motherfucker, as I always try to remember to do with threads I interact with. Why? Because Lemmy doesn’t have a lot of traffic and activity, so any interaction that boosts interaction is positive, especially if it fosters discussion, even if I myself am just pissing into the wind. Upvote histories on Lemmy are actually visible behind the scenes as well, so it’s not impossible for you to check this (fairly sure it includes timestamps as well, so it can show I upvoted before this comment was made). (EDIT: looks like you have to use something like mbin/kbin or apps that show this info[havent tried yet], or you have to be an admin. EDIT II: You can definitely see them with timestamps on mbin, but currently the mbin server I joined only has recent post for me as of three hours ago and not current, see bottom of post Figure EDIT II)

God you couldn’t have picked a worse target to shit all over.

Figure EDIT II (enlarge in new tab if needed):

Oh because that’s what you totally do in this situation is sell out to a larger, more vampiric company while you take the money and run.

Like legitimately this is always the end goal, and that’s what makes the economy a casino. So many people looking to cash out at the height of a company and after let others strip the copper out of the walls since they left with all the accumulated value. They don’t give a fuck about the future, they just want to get bought out at their peak and walk away more obscenely rich than they already were.

Why can’t Mel Gibson just go away?

Right, definitely not impossible, but highly improbable to be based off of LLMs. The focus on LLMs is actually limiting other types of AI research.

They are being sold on the hype that AGI is possible and that eventually the costs won’t matter because somehow the AI brains will scale production massively and allow the already obscenely wealthy privatize the gains of humanity while letting millions of us die as their solution to the climate change caused by AGI. Essentially they have no issues poisoning us and wasting money now as long as they get their supreme digital slaves in place and never need human labor again. Deeply unlikely but nobody said these folks are smart.

Yeah, they’ll get their result, but they literally destroyed everything just to make it.

I really don’t think that’s even the case. From what I understand of LLMs, the idea that you could make one of these things conscious and able to act on it’s own is pretty unlikely, but the industry has leaned into that hype because people rejected a lot of recent tech trends (often because it wasn’t cost effective for most like 3D television or AR like the Apple headset whatever it was that sold so badly, even Zuckerberg’s beta on the Metaverse failed) and the last big one, social media, has been curated and controlled by media conglomerates behind the scenes so much that people were rejecting that as well finally. There is no new thing they can actually generate hype around other than trying to convince people these things will be conscious and not make mistakes. They’re riding it until bubble pops, it’s literally just a game of hot potato, but they also think if they can sink the US government at the same time they can take over. That’s why you have Bezos pushing the idea that taxing him won’t change anything which is absolute horseshit, because he thinks he’s going to be actually in charge of the entire northwest, soon.

It’s not as though some of us don’t see the helpful applications of AI that do exist, especially tightly narrow applications, and not this “everything machine” general purpose nonsense that is a jack of some trades and a master of none.

Specifically, those general purpose agents are what CEOs are drooling over hoping to replace frontline employees with, not because it’s good, but because it’s “good enough.”

Further, employees continue to be actually cheaper than AI, which will eventually raise prices to match actual costs once they have a whole industry of business customers locked in.

It’s a tool and like all tools what matters most is who uses it and who benefits from it. Right now, the public does not benefit from it and therefore the public is against it. It only benefits massive techbro business titans who were already obscenely rich as it was. Now they want to become more obscenely rich at the expense of the American public’s livelihoods. Gee, I wonder why people are up in arms against it. Especially when it’s clear they want to make AI smart enough to replace all of us, because deep down they’re angry at creatives for being creative and having skills and since they can do computers now they think that means because a computer can effectively mimic a skill that means they have that skill. It’s how these dumbfucks who don’t know how anything works and lucked into billions need things to work to justify their own inadequacy while claiming superiority.

Fuck em all. AI will still be useful, even if they’re all dead, if it’s used to benefit society as a whole and not just a few. Just not as useful as they claim it will be, because they just desperately want slaves back and if they can’t have humans they will take a digital slave happily.

hotdogordita?

Ho-lee shit.

I remember when they were like $90 and I got mine discounted at $45.

You know, just like Trump clearly doesn’t respect our laws, if we ever regain power, we should just simply treat things like this the way he wipes his ass with the constitution. Just fucking ignore it and scream at and berate anyone who complains.

I don’t know, I haven’t been following because I don’t trust that style of denuvo cracking just yet personally. Anyway, that’s why I was asking.

True, but that’s not what causes them to run slow and shitty.

Ah yes because the bloat from Windows 11 won’t make these struggle to do even basic tasks. So much background shit going on from the get-go that you still have to wait seconds for a single click to register or open the start menu.

Say what you want about Apple, there’s a good deal to say, but at least their OS isn’t a corporate bloatware/spyware/adware/malware infested mess that runs badly for the sake of the bloatware.

Is this an actual hack or is this another hypervisor workaround like has been going around?

Yes men, LLMs, they’re the same picture

This movie was so fucking good.

I cannot stress how important it is that Matt and Jay play at the Rivoli.
