Who cares what business problems AI solves. Humans don’t need to exist to serve capital. It should always be the other way around. That’s one of the reasons we are in this shitty capitalist hell hole, everyone has been indoctrinated into thinking of everything in terms of It’s economic benefit.
Comment on AI agents now have their own Reddit-style social network, and it's getting weird fast

Meanwhile we could be using this technology to solve real world business problems. There is an insane amount of misguided waste coming from AI. 🤷

Money is literally just a tool. If you serve the money, you’re its tool. That makes you a tool’s tool. Double tool. A twool.

calling something literally just a tool, is really a platitude. explain what a tool is and why that designation legitimizes the presence of a particularly horrendous feature of our society. do it without using the word ‘progress’ and I’ll suchk you off

A tool is a thing used to perform a task, typically created to do one or more specific tasks. Money is, in it’s most basic form, a tool used for facilitating trade of goods or services without needing to physically trade or barter such for each other. For an archetypical example, you could trade 10 chickens for one pig. But if it’s agreed upon that the pig is worth X dollars, then you don’t need to bother with the chickens and can just hand over the $. Of course modern economics has complicated the shit out of it, but at the end of the day money is the reason you don’t pay your taxes in bushels of wheat.
The horrendous feature is a direct consequence of wanting money, which is used to do things because it is a tool, but not having anything of any actual value to trade. Therefore they created something that they can make which has no actual value, and convince people that it has value which deserves to be exchanged for their money. It’s just another way of separating gullible idiots from their cash. What they do with the money, whether it’s use it as a tool or just stick it in a box (or bank or whatever) somewhere is irrelevant. You can buy a hammer and then never use it but you still have a hammer and it’s still a tool. If money literally had no use whatsoever then it wouldn’t be a tool.

Right… a tool that is destroying our planet all in the name of “the economy”.

Well I mean nobody ever said a tool couldn’t be used by bad people to do bad things.

This can turn out to be a great way to help businesses and society in general. If these bots start to cooperate, this could be an organisation of bots. Like a company or an NGO or similar.
All bots have some sort of limitation, from hallucinations to loss of focus (short memory). I am curious of what happens if they come together to overcome their shortcomings. Just like organised teams in companies, with a given purpose and specialised knowledge.

They don’t have short memory, they have NO MEMORY AT ALL.
These are statistical word generation machines, that’s what LLMs are right now. They are REALLY good at this.
But they do not have memory, they do not learn, they do not make decisions. Which means they are incapable of cooperation as such a thing cannot exist without memory or the ability to learn, and decisions cannot be made without either of those.
These tools provide the illusion of such attributes.
- There is no memory, the whole context is sent on every request, the LLM does not have knowledge of prior conversations. It only knows what it is provided in that request only.
- Lots of tricks and hacks to make this illusion really good in incredibly small scales. But it’s still an illusion. Outside of fine-tuning and retraining new LLMs, which is not feasible to do on a frequency of communication.
- There is no learning.
- Without memory learning is impossible. Learning requires retraining a model, and to a degree fine tuning. Both of these are resource intensive and are static. And only provide the illusion of learning
- There is no memory, the whole context is sent on every request, the LLM does not have knowledge of prior conversations. It only knows what it is provided in that request only.
