It’s a tricky one, because a lot of ML these days is transformer-based, because transformers are unreasonably effective, and many things a transformer can do well, an LLM can do okay at. (e.g. translation, transcription, OCR …)

A lot of people are super convinced by an impressive demo. We have computers you can just talk to now! That’s legit amazing, actually! The whole field of NLP is 80% solved! The other 20% is where it’s a lying fuckin idiot and that’s probably not fixable …

ooh good, i’ll add that generative AI will likely become as radioactive to the public as crypto is.

it’s near as joyous as the tesla subs

if you want to do stream of consciousness creative writing, we have the MoreWrite community for stuff you want opinions on and the WriteFreely at https://gibberish.awful.systems/ - if that second one sounds useful, PM @self for an account

discuss.

per the sidebar: This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

it was me, I popped AI. I destroyed Twitter (and, in collateral damage, I blew up the United States), and those fuckers are next. You’re welcome.

In past tech bubbles, it was basically the VCs, the media hypesters and the liars in the companies. So the right people.

don’t forget to press the button lots! bet they’re using it as a metric!

“yeah tried it real hard like you said boss. all its ideas were bad and i rejected them, but it’ll get there! stand strong! diamond hands!”

he appears to have started like this - i hear he was like this at uni too

you’re not even scamming them! you’re merely the tax collector for BRUTE MATERIAL REALITY

basically. Nvidia sometimes has off years, where a processor generation doesn’t work out. Unfortunately, this one’s coincided with a stupid bubble. So they’re shoving out number cruncher cards which are at the limits of what you can do with stacking up the previous generation of chips, and the cards are crappy and have a likely lifetime in months - because they correctly estimate their market doesn’t care.

we hope you find a more suitable Lemmy community to post to.

when I put a pull request in my vein and I tell you things aren’t quite the same when I’m rushing on my run and I feel just like Altman’s son

I dunno, Diz and I both pissed them off a whole lot

WE HAD THAT PRECISE FUCKING GUY

AI fans are people who literally cannot tell good from bad. They cannot see the defects that are obvious to everyone else. They do not believe there is such a thing as quality, they think it’s a scam. When you claim you can tell good from bad, they think you’re lying.
