The number of ads on any sportsball program is actually sickening unless you are used to it. I don’t care about the commercials, it’s the ones you don’t notice. You might notice The Verizon Center’s instant recap cam brought to you by GoPro, “Go Be A Pro!”… no, it’s everything that appears on the screen at any single moment is branded and paid for you to see it subconsciously. Every helmet, mouthguard, clipboard, every everything everywhere all the time, no letting up.
I’m pretty sure that the level of advertising in sports is super unhealthy. I really don’t care that betting the game is an option or not.
There is a story that Stability.AI went under with their trash release of Stable Diffusion 3, and that their better people went on to form and work at Black Forest Labs… apparently “3” is viral infected for these people.
European edit model cannot make it easy to nudify people… they lobotomize it, it’s trash, Mission Accomplished!
Another reason that China is pulling ahead daily. They can leave in some anatomy and not knee cap their own product, leave in IP, and give away the model so as to undercut API/credit sales of US and EU models.
Finally… the Neo Puritan death march is having a direct financial toll.
I guess that’s something you need to work through that you’re just so sick of reading about the single biggest evolution in technology since the internet :(
Maybe tech isn’t for you if you don’t like trying to stay on top of it.
Anyways, I probably know more about llms than you, I probably use them more than you. I just dont want to turn every conversation into a discussion about them.
I would argue the smartphone is 1000x more impactful than LLMs, along with many other inventions since the internet. I'm not really sure what contribution llms have had that are actually THAT impactful for peoples lives. Its possibly (but unlikely) a net negative, time will tell. Most people using them are not getting smarter, thats concerning. Most are just making more money for their bosses who are itching to replace them with an llm.
I think the problem you're seeing is not with LLMs per se, but with capitalism. Imagine we have a quite useful machine that's reducing the amount of work needed to accomplish stuff, and all normal people are afraid of that machine simply because they worry they'll have less work. How backwards is that!
If we didn't let people live off the work of others, as the capitalists do, then we could all rejoice in that we've found yet another way of reducing the labor required to produce stuff.
Yet, in the real world, it seems as despite the progress of technology, the labor of the everyman is constant, and only the richest get more and more shiny jets and yachts.
I’d be shocked if people working on and passionate about thing didn’t shit on other thing. That’s natural and even good in moderation. It’s up to a leader to keep it under control.
Yes. In fact, I have met quite a few humans who make a point NOT to go bashing the work of others. (Of course, I have also met quite a few who do spend their time bashing others.)
The more you understand about your own system the more humility one would think you would have. This is like the dumb guy to jedi meme. It's the people in the middle that shit on other peoples' work because they have something to gain by looking comparatively smarter.
Right, because that’s a recent occurrence.
