OK instead of slop I’ll say anything they put in writing is less accurate and more verbose. It may be faster for them to do to it but any gain is canceled out then multiplied by the number of people having to parse through it… Or I could say slopified and anyone that has actually experienced it will know what I mean.
The good ones? Nothing that benefits from LLMs and isn’t made worse by being slopped up.
middle-management
Trust me… middle managers using LLMs are not doing anything but throwing slop everywhere
I think it has some uses for people that can utilize it intelligently, but what what I’ve actually observed is it that it lets incompetent people look like they’re doing more work while making more work for others.
The deal with AI criti-hype is that the back of the card so-to-speak is praise, right?
“The AI broke out and did some hacking (because it’s so powerful)” etc
You’re not fooling anyone lol
That didn’t answer by question at all, I suspect because you couldn’t think of way to twist running new gas turbine generators specifically to power these monstrosities into a good thing.
So AI data centers are being built powered with renewable energy, right?
It also didn’t exist at all 5 years ago. Why are we as a society allowing new ecological damage? When will we stop? The billionaires want it to be never as long as it gives them money and power.
Is not the whole schtick with the genie wish that it technically follows the wish but distorts the intention? LLMs aren’t even guaranteed to do that. You could say “don’t delete this file” and it may still end up doing exactly that.
Appeals to authority and hero worship are terrible arguments for anything
The gap with this genie analogy is that you can explicitly forbid an LLM from something in the instructions and the directive can be completely ignored.
The day when it doesn’t crush the environment
Why should we indulge your hypothetical? They’re actively building fossil fuel powered data centers so it’s not even moving in that direction.
And most tech literate people that are anti-genAI would also prefer if it didn’t completely usurp the term AI or that everything historically called ML got also got sucked in. You’re acting like anti people made that happen but it was the boosters and now AI=chatgpt is in the common lexicon. Nitpicking their language when you obviously know damn well what they mean is just silly.
find that their peers are achieving more in a shorter time then they are
I’ve been reading this for 3 years and all I’ve seen so far is my peers making more work for me by going on wild goose chases and making me wade through slop. I do believe there are ways to use it responsibly and productively but that is definitely not what is happening on average.
I don’t understand why so many people decided to take “LLMs increase productivity” as an axiom instead of using their fucking eyes and looking at what is happening around them.
Regardless of how he got there, this is a pretty obnoxious and useless commit message…
ethical tool sourcing
Almost everybody that brings up ethical LLMs is full of shit because they point to them existing as a defense then turn around and use claude.
Yeah I learned from trying to get people to recycle at work that half of people can’t follow the instructions for what goes on recycling and how even when they try. And of course you go one county over and the rules are different. sigh
It just means they liked hollow Knight
KDE just works. The few things I want to change I can. GNOME by default is further away from what I want and you have to get extensions that break with updates to change anything.
Ovo-lacto vegetarianism is by default what people mean by vegetarian in the US at least. Maybe where you’re from it’s different but that criticism would be strange here.
I think most vegetarians try to avoid things like bone broth (or things containing gelatin if they know about it) but people are strict to different levels. Assuming a vegetarian would be fine eating a soup that included bones would be pretty rude so it’s not weird someone might be surprised you’re less strict than others.
