  • Clearly heavy LLM usage inhibits reading comprehension, I stated the usecase which my employer wanted to implement. Sorry normal people aren't as dogmatic as your AI friends lmao

  • No, I've done my actual work while people convinced they have "good prompts" weighed my whole team down (and promptly got laid off). We've burnt enough openai token and probed models on our own hardware to assertain their utility in my field. Manual automation with simple systems and hard logic is what the industry has ran on, and certainly will continue to.

    Explain to what makes a prompt good. As long as you're using any provided model and not using sandbox you're stuck to their initiating prompt. Change that, and you still have their parameters. Run an OS model with your own parameter tunings, you still are limited by your tempterature. What is a good temperature to use for rigid logic that doesn't result in unexpected behavior but can adapt to user input well enough? These are questions every AI corp is dealing with.

    For context, all we were trying to do was implement some copilot/gpt shit onto our PMS to handle customer queries, data entry, scheduling information and notifications, and some other opened ended suggestions. C suite was giddy, IT not so much, but my team was to keep an open mind and see what we could achieve.. so we evaluated it, as of about 6 months ago or so is when finally Cs stopped bugging since they had bigger fires to put out, and we had worked out a powerautomate routine (without the help of copilot.. its unfunnily useless even though it's implemented right into PA), making essentially all the effort put into working the AI from a LLM to an "agentic model" completrly mute, despite the tools the company bought into and everything.

    I'm guessing you belong in the category who hasn't actually worked at a facility which part of your job is to deploy things like AI, but like to have an affirmative stance anyway.

  • But it seems that someone who is proficient in writing ultimately doesn't benefit in a matter of time or effort, as both are still taken in correcting the output. And if you're so curious, there's been a number of studies on this exact phenomena already.

    The problem, truly, is cognitive debt and the overall expansion of people lending themselves to the dunning kruger effect in the name of trusting and living vicariously through their AI model of choice.

    My last employer was pushing hard for LLMs in a field they dont do shit for, one of the project managers was convinced by his AI of choice (gemini) to actually propose replacing himself with another AI tool. IT wasnt having it because it would screen read potentially sensitive info. He was laid off with a sheriff escort not 2 months later. Now is on linkedin posting some truly schizophrenic shit, otherwise having been normal ish

  • I'm just shocked Fedora is playing well with a quadro series card, and I'm not looking back. If there's some bottleneck, it's no larger than the one on my general experience with windows. Though I would very much like to be runnung a non-tainted kernel.

  • Eh it doesnt really matter, I'm sure they kept running archives even before selling off to altman, and invariably impacts more actual people trying to maybe find that one useful comment to fix something.

  • Lemmy tends to forget that we're almost exclusively computer nerds. I've been the voice to my family and friends (hopefully not to a religious point lol) about these such issues, and they're generally pretty receptive. But they aren't going to go out of their way to learn what I have, nor should they. I am merely my network's trusted IT pro, be it game servers for friends or most recently Immich for extended family.

    If claiming our digital rights is framed as a free for all, we will never secure any protection before it's too engrained to object. Together, hell look at Lemmy itself, we can not only educate people on these issues, but be the IT role that actually knows how to run whatever service in a secure and truly private manner.

    PS I have to give Immich some love here, no matter how many stories like OP's you show to someone, they aren't going to settle for less. And now that Immich is an option for my network, its features make it barely a question for those moving off of google. Another TB of storage? That will be 40$ one time. No nags, no bullshit. And the context search is freaking amazing, without ever having to train some corps model off of (more) of your images.
