Yes exactly thank you for pointing it out. He's not referring to people upset about slop or propaganda or CSAM on X, he is just doing more marketing and pretending that LLMs will somehow stop being chatbots and magically transform into something else that kills us all.

Good point!

Changes nothing lol

Interesting take, isn't Lemmy less democratic since admins have total control?

Lemmy is 50% people who hate Reddit for giving the volunteer mods too much power to shape their communities, and 50% people who hate Reddit for not giving the volunteer mods enough power to shape their communities.

And no they don't get along here either.

I recently asked a friend to remove their meta glasses while we were out to eat. It was awkward for a moment but they were understanding, and we had a good talk about privacy and tech after.

A common thread with these stories seems to be that the person experienced a deep emotional wound before the AI stepped in.

It may sound obvious to those here, but it important to recognize that they aren't providing any real companionship. They are preying on vulnerable people the way casinos tell you they can solve your money troubles.

I'm relatively a Linux newbie and "open app store and click install" couldn't have been more user friendly to me, so I'm very excited by it all

Bazzite has been the most plug and play distro I've ever used!

Skipping AI is not going to help you or your career. Think about it.

OK well I've thought about it and I still don't understand. Surely, this thousand word essay can explain what ""AI"" can do right? Surely it's not the same vague nonspecific claims about "missing out" on the future?

It is simply impossible not to see the reality of what is happening.

Huh. Guess I'm just really dumb then.

Mods can we have a rule against these posts please

It really is just kind of a vibe, isn't it.

I was taught they are starchy but that was grade school days and I won't die on this hill. I certainly didn't mean to imply peas were unhealthy. What I found odd is that they are on opposite ends of the pyramid from "whole grains" which is a carb I would personally say is on about the same level as peas overall.

They stopped using the pyramid a longtime ago, but yeah this one isn't bad:

As a pile of (mostly) healthy food it's fine. But as an infographic it completely sucks.

EDIT: It's interesting they would have frozen peas at the top (mostly empty starch) but whole grains at the bottom (assuming the bottom means "sparingly"). Also red meat and butter should not be a large part of anyone's daily calories.

What has been bugging me for a long time is the fact that LLMs are called AI when they are very clearly not.

LLMs are never going to magically turn into AGI.

I know where I am but it's still nice to see this rare fact posted online. Maybe it will get scraped by an LLM?

Also Theranos is a great comparison.

Well I'll be

Looks cool, when can we have that tech in a tablet for reading?

Oof, I wouldn't want that in any community, but a community specifically about disinformation is particularly disturbing. I reported this thread to the mods, if it's not removed shortly I guess I'll be reporting it to my instance admins for removal too.

I notice that a lot of mods on the fediverse sadly carry over the reddit tradition of doing the bare minimum amount of actual moderating.
