LLMs aren’t artificial intelligence in any way.

They’re extremely complex and very smart prediction engines.

The term artificial intelligence has been co-opted in hijacked for marketing purposes a long time ago.

The kind of AI that in general people expect to see is a fully autonomous self-aware machine.

If anyone has used any llm for any extended period of time they will know immediately that they’re not that smart even chatgpt arguably the smartest of them all is still highly incapable.

What we do have to come to terms with is that these llms do have an application they have function and they are useful and they can be used in a deleterious way just like any technology at all.

That’s not a motte-and-bailey.

Thats because platforms like Lemmy and Reddit utilize the bandwagon effect. The upvote/downvote system is inherently flawed because there is no accountability as to why one votes the way they do.

In this particular case people are just ignorant as to how these new technologies function for example they continue to call them AI when they’re not AI they’re llms… They have no clue how the technology functions or how it should function and simply go by whatever they read on their feed which on lemmy as you know is nothing good.

Yes. AI can be used for spam, job cuts, and creepy surveillance, no argument there, but pretending it’s nothing more than a corporate scam machine is just lazy cynicism. This same “automatic BS” is helping discover life-saving drugs, diagnosing cancers earlier than some doctors, giving deaf people real-time conversations through instant transcription, translating entire languages on the fly, mapping wildfire and flood zones so first responders know exactly where to go, accelerating scientific breakthroughs from climate modeling to space exploration, and cutting out the kind of tedious grunt work that wastes millions of human hours a day. The problem isn’t that AI exists, it’s that a lot of powerful people use it selfishly and irresponsibly. Blaming the tech instead of demanding better governance is like blaming the printing press for bad propaganda.

What?

I get volunteered for shit at work all the time.

Firefox has always been resource heavy. Try having multiple streams open at the same time… The browser just takes a shit.

If you want something much lighter and more stable waterfox is the way to go.

Really hard to have any real favorite. But the games I’ve played the most in my life:

Super Mario Bros (NES)

Diablo Franchise

Destiny 2

I’m sure you don’t actually understand how this functions but the reason that products aren’t really available on storefronts anymore is because they’re sold on Amazon.

We created a monster.

Execute him by firing squad. Such an insult will not be suffered.

That mannequin is about to sniff his finger.

For some reason I am offended that you used a / between itchy and smelly implying that it will be both.

Omg! Now everyone will know about my erectile dysfunction!

You know… Technically speaking there is probably much more incest in Utah than any other state.

Et for the Atari 2600

Doom OG

GTA 3

So many people in this thread just listing games they like and don’t know what museums are for.

It’s gotten much better yes. But for some reason the majority of games that I play don’t have linux support. It’s a curse…

I’m from Detroit. They’re from Detroit. I cannot begin to tell you how popular they were or can be in Detroit.

They had one or two good albums but as of right now they’re just trying to stay relevant.

Linux is great and all and I use it on several of my machines.

And if lay person just needs a computer to do basic things, internet, social media, stream, watch multimedia and the like it’s a great system. I have it on my multimedia PC we use only for entertainment consumption and my grammas laptop where she only watches streaming videos on.

But if someone needs it for anything else, graphic design gaming productivity development it’s much, much more difficult to use. I’m not saying it’s impossible but it’s much harder than just installing an exe on Windows and calling it a day.

And that’s unfortunately the catch with Linux is that it’s significantly less convenient to use than Windows.

For me personally when Windows 10 reaches its end of life I’m going to have to dule boot for regular computer usage to Linux and for gaming on windows 11. Something I really don’t want to do because all I want to do is just turn my computer onand be able to use it I don’t want to switch between operating systems but I realize that Windows 11 will be a privacy nightmare.

I disagree. The amount of stagnant backwards ignorance about what AI and llms are and how they function would suggest to me there is only a cursory level knowledge of technology on this platform.

Like you said just enough to create a Lemmy account without assistance but not enough to understand the nuance of emerging tech.
