  • The difficult question about AGI destroying humanity is deciding whether to be afraid of that option or to cheer it on and LLM enthusiasts are certainly among the people heavily pushing me towards the 'cheer it on' option.

  • As a standalone thing, LLMs are awesome.

    They really aren't though and that is half the problem. Everyone pretends they are awesome when the results are unusable garbage 80% of the time which makes them unusable for 99% of practical applications.

  • The difference between AI companies and most other tech companies is that AI companies have significant expenses that scale with the number of customers.

    An earnest question about the AI/LLM hate

  • It is really not a big change to the way we work unless you work in a language that has very low expressiveness like Java or Go and we have been able to generate the boilerplate in those automatically for decades.

    The main problem is that it is really not at all useful or produces genuinely beneficial results and yet everyone keeps telling us they do but can not point to a single GitHub PR or similar source as an example for a good piece of code created by AI without heavy manual post-processing. It also completely ignores that reading and fixing other people's (or worse, AI's) code is orders of magnitude harder than writing the same code yourself.

  • Probably not going to go belly-up, in a while

    Don't be so sure about that, the numbers look incredibly bad for them in terms of money burned per actual revenue, never mind profit. They can't even pay for the inference alone (never mind training, staff, rent,...) from the subscriptions.

  • What was Radiant AI, anyway?

  • In fact Daggerfall was almost nothing but quests and other content like that.

  • The FDA Is Approving Drugs Without Evidence They Work

  • They also don't apply the same attitude to those random sources they use instead. That is really the biggest problem with their approach. Literally going "you can't trust anyone any more" would be better than what they do.

  • Google confirms more ads on your paid YouTube Premium Lite soon

    Jump

  • True, but my point was that even a lot of the commercial websites that do have other products do not depend on ads, e.g. Amazon and all the other stores would still be there, every company offering a paid service would still be there, every company providing a service related to their RL goods (e.g. specs, drivers, product descriptions, lists of stores where you can buy them,...) would still be there.

    Advertising does not finance a very large percentage of the useful parts of the internet. And among those advertising financed websites that are useful a lot are essentially duplicates to get a chunk of the ad revenue without doing a lot of work (e.g. almost all news websites that just republish AP, Reuters,... content).

  • The internet isn't built on it. The commercial websites who do not have other products (as in all the websites related to RL goods, stores,...) are.

  • That last one is why, have you ever tried getting a bank account in the name of a script?

  • Are you somehow under the impression that just because it is "global" there are no transmitters and receivers and distance does not matter?

  • My AI Skeptic Friends Are All Nuts

    Jump

  • I can't speak for others but I simply hate that people keep telling us how amazing AI is yet not a single one of them can ever point to a single task completed by AI on its own that is actually of decent quality, never mind enough tasks that I would trust AI to do anything without supervision. I mean actual tasks, e.g. PRs on an open source repository or a video showing some realistic every-day task done from start to finish by AI alone, not hand-wavy "I use it every day" abstract claims.

    People like OP seem to be completely oblivious to the fact that reading code takes a lot of time and effort, even when there was an actual human thought process behind it, never mind when it might be totally random garbage. Writing code is also not nearly as much of a bottleneck as AI proponents seem to think it is. Reading code to verify it is not total garbage is actually much more effort than writing the same code yourself. It might not appear like that if you are writing in a low expressiveness language like Go or Java because you are reading or writing a lot of lines for every actual high level action the code takes that you need to think about but it becomes more obvious in more expressive languages where the same action can be expressed closer to 1:1 in terms of lines per high level action.

  • Storing individual button presses is ridiculous because that is much too low level when the apps also have much more high level information about your activities available. It is literally more useless than data you can acquire just as easily.

  • Ai Code Commits

    Jump

  • Creating issues is free to a large number of people you don't really control, whether that is the general public or some customers who have access to your issue tracker and love AI doesn't really matter, if anything dealing with the public is easier since you can just ban members of the public who misbehave.

  • Java at 30: How a language designed for a failed gadget became a global powerhouse

  • Yeah, I know that the vast majority of Java applications out there are stuck on ancient versions of the JVM and spew back traces in their logs as if they bought them in bulk.

  • Pressure is also bad for aviation since pressure vessels are usually heavy.
