  • It’s not reliable enough to actually automate anything

    This is half true. It’s not reliable enough to automate an entire job but it is reliable enough to automate tasks that would otherwise take a lot of time, usually related to sifting or searching data.

    If I need to look through a massive set of data like Google for something thst I can only describe with an explanation, the LLM will do a much faster job actually finding what you need rather thsn spending an hour manually sorting through SEO slop.

    You don’t even need the cloud models for this, you can slap SearXNG onto a local model at home.

    It’s basically just an autocomplete search on steroids which is its biggest advantage. Any documentation you need is immediately accessible, which is especially useful if you have zero experience with something niche or new.

    Now actually getting the LLM to consistently generate output is a completely different story lol.

    We call that vibe coding.

    Even if we ignore the scifi horror of outsourcing our collective intelligence to an AI and assume such a hypothetical AI can solve every problem and essentially do every job for us, it would need to build a society where working for an income is no longer required, which is absolutely not what’s happening lol.

    Leather jacket Huang and Scam Altman just want to make morbillion dollars in a race to become the first trillionaire. They don’t or refuse to recognize the long term effects of destroying the very fabric that makes their businesses profitable just like every other investment gamble has. If no one has a job, they don’t have money to spend on product and services from your businesses, or your business clients’ businesses.

    Alas, line must go up.










  • Yes and no, it depends on what it is and what you are doing.

    Focusing on close objects like displays and even books for long periods of time can cause you to lose sharpness in your eyes against far reaching objects. Hence why corrective eye glasses were often associated with those who spent a lot of time reading or studying in universities.

    However, VR and especially AR glasses project the image at a certain focal length that makes the object appear further away, causing your eyes to contract accordingly like you were actually focusing on a real object 10 feet away.

    That being said, 10 feet only gives you the same effect as sitting far from the TV. They really should try bumping it to 50-100 feet so that it really shows up like a giant projector screen in the distance.

    Conversely, you should spend time touching grass and looking into the distance at infinity so that your eyes keep their dynamic range of focus, especially if you spend all day working on a PC monitor that’s probably less than a yard/meter from your face/



  • I upgraded to an RTX Quadro 4000 on my media server (from a 750ti) and it still doesn’t support AV1 lmao.

    Even last time I was on PC partpicker, the top beefy 10k USD media chonker machine was targeting a specific CPU for cheap AVX512 support because apparently it was required for heavy AV1 work, which I assume meant the GPUs couldn’t keep up.
