At this point, it’ll be yet another crappy reboot of a remake of some story we’ve all seen dozens of times.

- Comment on Oncoliruses: LLM Viruses are the future and will be a pest, say good bye to decent tech. 1 week ago:
Sorry, not LLM is never going to spontaneously gain the abilities self-replicate. This is completely beyond the scope of generative AI.
This whole hype around AI and LLMs is ridiculous, not to mention completely unjustified. The appearance of a vast leap forward in this field is an illusion. They’re just linking more and more processor cores together, until a glorified chatbot can be made to appear intelligent. But this is struggling actual research and innovation in the field, instead turning the market into a costly, and destructive, arms race.
The current algorithms will never “be good enough to copy themselves”. No matter what a conman like Altman says.
- Comment on Oncoliruses: LLM Viruses are the future and will be a pest, say good bye to decent tech. 1 week ago:
Eh, no. The ability to generate text that mimics human working does not mean they are intelligent. And AI is a misnomer. It has been from the beginning. Now, from a technical perspective, sure, call em AI if you want. But using that as an excuse to skip right past the word “artificial” is disingenuous in the extreme.
On the other hand, the way the term AI is generally used technically would be called GAI, or General Artificial Intelligence, which does not exist (and may or may not ever exist).
Bottom line, a finely tuned statistical engine is not intelligent. And that’s all LLM or any other generative “AI” is at the end of the day. The lack of actual intelligence is evidenced by the way they create statements that are factually incorrect at such a high rate. So, if you use the most common definition for AI, no, LLMs absolutely are not AI.

I’ve been starting to wonder just how much this shit “phones home”. Because, obviously, this technology can be used to increase the capabilities of corporate surveillance.

Yup. If I remember correctly, the percentage of bots immediately increased, though, but I could be wrong.
- Comment on America wants AI that doesn't care about misinformation, DEI, and climate change 1 week ago:
Wow.
Just…wow.
You honestly think that’s an argument?!?
Goodbye
- Comment on America wants AI that doesn't care about misinformation, DEI, and climate change 1 week ago:
No. You’re dodging the argument. You chose to phrase it that way. And pretending that’s just some incidental thing with no meaning honestly is about the dumbest response I’ve seen in a while.
You have made the argument that it is the American people, not the administration. You. Not anybody else.
- Comment on America wants AI that doesn't care about misinformation, DEI, and climate change 1 week ago:
That…what???
No, your choice of phrasing conveys your message.
If you’re argument is not against the American people, but rather the administration, then your wording is, well, wrong.
- Comment on Doge reportedly using AI tool to create ‘delete list’ of federal regulations 1 week ago:
No, they did not use an algorithm to make the decisions. They are making the choices, but, being the feckless cowards they are, they’re actually trying to set it up so they can hide behind a fucking computer program.
Sigh …

Yeah, whatever

Wow.
I’m so sorry for doubting your infallible knowledge and wisdom!!
Well…no I’m not.
And don’t even play that “I’m sorry you didn’t react the way you were supposed to” crap.
And, no, your grandiose posturing means nothing at all to me. No one cares. You say you’re an expert? Then you already know what evidence to cite to support your argument.
Your claims of experience are not evidence of anything but your over inflated ego.

You’re talking to someone who would steal the sears catalog (like printed catalog - showed up in an actual physical mailbox) and page through the lingerie ads. You think a hormone driven teenager needs Pornhub?
Just saying…

Umm. What? I can’t fault your optimism, but… No. Like, really. Not a snowball’s chance in hell levels of nope.
Kids are far more likely to assume a fully enshittified experience is “just how it is”. I don’t see any logical path that would support your predicted outcome. Increasing the barrier to entity isn’t just gonna magically change their minds and make them spontaneously hop the fence. That path is even more of a pain in the ass. , and they were already just using what’s shoved in getting of them. If it’s already not worth their time to do different, why would making it seem even less attractive help?
- Comment on YSK De-banking is often how the US first declares you "homeless" 1 week ago:
would be surprised if this was a real problem and I wasn’t aware.
Umm… that’s a terrible argument. Like, really, really terrible.
That said this does feel a bit like a red herring. I don’t think having an open bank account is gonna do shit to help anyone kidnapped by the Y’allqueda Gestapo.
But, seriously, “this can’t be true, cause if it was I’d already know about” comes across as really arrogant.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So many examples of this method failing I don’t even know where to start. Most visible, of course, was how that approach failed to stop Grok from “being woke” for like, a year or more.
Frankly, you sound like you’re talking straight out of your ass.
- Comment on A real mans man is married to a real man 1 week ago:
A trans woman openly embracing their feminity is, ironically, manly as hell…just that it’s also, you know, not. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- Comment on A real mans man is married to a real man 1 week ago:
It is very disturbing when a man is obsessed with shaping themselves to fit some gross vision of manliness rather than just finding their own way in life. Coming from a dude, btw.
Like, what the fuck are you afraid of? Respecting other people? I mean, seriously, nothing projects weakness more than letting some vague social concept define you, rather than choosing that for yourself.
Hell, trans women have FAR more strength than those assholes. Hell, anybody who openly identifies as LGBTQ+, really.
And so many of them just need to get over the fact that they like to bottom. Cause what the fuck is wrong with that, anyway?? Such a disgusting and desperate need to define a woman as less than a man, I suppose.
- Comment on A real mans man is married to a real man 1 week ago:
Wasn’t there some Twatter thread not that long ago about how unprotected sex with a woman would feminize you due to absorbing estrogen, and was therefore gay?
In retrospect, it may have been satire. But who the hell can tell the difference with those weirdos anymore!
- Comment on Ubisoft's annual report dictates that the consumers are the problem 1 week ago:
This reminds me of a “scandal” when I was much younger where the Intel CEO at the time made a statement to the effect that their customers are the enemy, simply because they weren’t willing to blindly open their wallets and give whatever they could spare to the corporation.
Sadly, people are stupid (groups of people, at least). And the disease of consumerism is devouring our society from the inside out.
- Comment on New Executive Order:AI must agree on the Administration views on Sex,Race, cant mention what they deem to be Critical Race Theory,Unconscious Bias,Intersectionality,Systemic Racism or "Transgenderism 1 week ago:
Well, in practice, no.
Do you think any corporation is going to bother making a separate model for government contracts versus any other use? I mean, why would they. So unless you can pony up enough cash to compete with a lucrative government contract (and the fact none of us can is, on fact, the while point), the end result will involve these requirements being adopted by the overwhelming majority of generative AI available on the market.
So in reality, no, this absolutely will not be limited to models purchased by the feds. Frankly, I believe choosing to think otherwise to be dangerously naive.
- Comment on President Trump threatened to break up Nvidia, didn't even know what it was — 'What the hell is Nvidia? I've never heard of it before' 1 week ago:
I have a bad habit of being condescending myself, I appreciate the reminder.
Some time back I saw a blog post where the author was making the claim that the only possible way to deprogram someone who had been radicalized starts with compassion. Real, honest compassion for the person; which can be hard with the hateful ideals that are spread so freely these days! But he is right. Without compassion, whoever you are trying to communicate with has no honest reason to listen.
Anyway, thank you again for sharing your perspective!

Oh for sure!
It doesn’t take very many who participate in bad faith, though, before information hygiene, as you put it, starts going by the wayside.
But, my apologies if it sounded like I was trying to hijack your message; was not my intent! Whether it’s bad actors or just people giving in to emotional reactions instead of reasoning out the argument, it is for sure important to be careful of misinformation. I’m sure a distressing amount is spread quite unintentionally.

I think it was a couple of years ago, I made a reply on a thread where people were accusing the acreage Reddit user of being a bot or a shill (rightly so) - anyway, my position was that Lemmy is already being infected by similar.
Oh man did people get salty; but I swear it’s only been getting worse.
