LLMs are an interesting tool to fuck around with, but I see things that are hilariously wrong often enough to know that they should not be used for anything serious. Shit, they probably shouldn't be used for most things that are not serious either. It's a shame that by applying the same "AI" naming to a whole host of different technologies, LLMs being limited in usability - yet hyped to the moon - is hurting other more impressive advancements. For example, speech synthesis is improving so much right now, which has been great for my sister who relies on screen reader software. Being able to recognise speech in loud environments is improving loads too. As is things like pattern/image analysis which appears very promising in medical analysis. All of these get branded as "AI". A layperson might not realise that they are completely different branches of technology, and then therefore reject useful applications of "AI" tech, because they've learned not to trust anything branded as AI, due to being let down by LLMs.

MSFT is about as evil and shitty as a corpo can get. Helps that their products are terrible and anti-user. Anyway I hope everyone who gets laid off repents and uses their knowledge to harm the corpo. Article about how MSFT is increasingly turning to fascism

Funny how I turned off any data sharing for google years ago but the inclusion of gemini somehow voids my previous decision.

The guilty don't feel guilty, they learn not to. Easy to sleep at night when u can stuff ur pillow with 100's.

Yes because giving up isn't an option

Because many people cannot distinguish between word salads and insight.

I hope aliexpress is better. I buy a lot of stuff from there like electronics components which aren't really sold locally anymore. Also tools and arduino related things...

I apparently have the uncanny ability of being able to sense when I am drowsy. Call up the X-Men
