LLMs should die in a fire.
I’d be on board if it was actually useful and accurate. But it has proven time and time again to be hot garbage 99% of the time as they shove it down everyone’s throat. They keep talking about it being a new age of AI and how it’s going to change the world but it’s only made the internet a worse place and changed nothing or made things worse.

Just like with crypto and NFTs.
TBH an open source multiple ledger system for financial transactions was an amazing idea which has helped stabilize a lot of economies around the world whose currencies became undervalued to extremes.
NFTs was fucking dumb tho, lol, basically a way to print a receipt for traded goods without any legal enforcement on tying the property to the receipt.
NFTs would make sense for things like tradable software licenses. E.g steam is going to be forced to allow users to sell their games soonish (they’re appealing the ruling and it’s only a matter of time until they lose) and you wouldn’t want such a license to be tied to a particular marketplace, so NFTs make sense: The game publisher mints it, it’s tradable freely, sites like steam and gog can look at them and say “yep this hasn’t been tampered with and was minted by the publisher”, and serve you the game files. Presumably they’d want you to occasionally buy something on their platform to let you use their servers to download games they didn’t sell you, or you could pay a small sum for the service.
The NFT itself, of course, doesn’t enforce anything. It’s just a non-fungible token representing usage rights in the game. Like a cd key but more secure, for the publisher (key can’t be duplicated / used multiple times, I mean a platform that would allow that could just as well go all the way and be a torrent release group) and the buyer (can check validity of key before spending money) and seller (buyer can’t claim bullshit like “key didn’t work”).
What you probably would not do is put that stuff on already-existing blockchains because why should the industry pay ludicrous transaction fees when you can roll your own.
We could call it an “Activation Code” or “Software License Key”…
Jokes aside how is it more secure than a CD Key to be on the blockchain? Also remember that form of validation would require online status, making it equivalent to CD Key security in that regard.
A CD doesn’t really mean anything, the license and the physical medium generally aren’t tied. If you break the medium but have a backup you’re not pirating anything. I’d say the primary difference to a CD isn’t more or less secure but physical or not.
Downloading the game also requires an online connection. You’d only need one when you’re buying or selling the license NFT or moving it from one download platform to another, and of course to download the game. Whether you need an online connection to play depends on the game, not the NFT.
Oh, speaking of: Are you an EU citizen? Have you already signed this?
I think this might be a bot lol
For me it’s useful, the 99% garbage is hype and misuse. I’d like the exploitative nature of llms to die, rther than the technology itself
Honestly the problem is that it simultaneously works too well and not well enough.
The truth is, it’s proven time and time again to be hot garbage about 85% of the time. But that 15% of the time that it works great, that’s why it’s being shoved down our throats. That’s what’s ruining this for everyone, that fact that on rare occasions, it does actually work…
Schedules reinforcement. Destined to cause addiction. Like vegas gambling casinos. Or drugs. Or the economy.
Yeah, I agree with that. And their solution instead of actually fixing the problem is throwing money and computing power at it in the hope that brute force will make it “better.” When in reality it hasn’t even changed that much in the past year besides more eloquently saying complete bullshit. Call it a conspiracy, but I think with nobody ever telling the truth on the internet, LLM’s have only taught themselves to bullshit everyone into believing them.

Haha, well to be fair, that usually works… Most big problems could be solved by throwing effort and money at them. Hell, when I think about a lot of national issues, education, infrastructure, energy, crime, poverty, most of these could be solved by throwing money at them. And it would take less money than you might guess.

And yeah, you’re definitely not imagining that. I’d say there’s something to that theory.
It’s changing the world, but not in the way we want it to.
The purpose of this project is not to restrict or ban the use of AI in articles, but to verify that its output is acceptable and constructive, and to fix or remove it otherwise.
There’s nothing fundamentally wrong with LLMs. Users just need to know their capabilities and limitations and use them correctly. Just like any other tool.

Disagree.
Compelling argument.
Just my daily lose of LLMentalist
No matter how you look at it, Wikipedia is one of the modern wonders of the world; those who maintain and defend it are doing holy work. The availability of free, high quality, publically indexed and equitably accessible information about our modern world is such an under-appreciated gift.
Education is a powerful tool, but when most people hear “knowledge is power” they think of personal success or political might. But its true power is on an evolutionary scale.
No other species in the history of our (known) universe has the capability to study the world, and then share those the conclusions to the next generation with high precision, like we do. It’s absolutely fascinating. It’s what sets us apart from the rest. It defines the human experience.
The reality is that the integrity of this mechanism (or rather, the democratization of said mechanism) is under threat. It always has been, but the nature of the threat has changed, and its scary. I’m glad it is being protected, at least for now.
I swear there is rarely ever a time when Wikipedia isn’t the best source to at least start looking into something. Definitely a modern wonder, assuming what you’re looking for is on there.
Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, Anthropic and co should help fight this fight, their tools are the problem here.
No thank you. I would prefer if they had as little influence over anything in the world as possible.
Ok, but we are only here because of their stuff, it’s only fair that they pick up the broom and help clean.
They dont have brooms, they only have bulldozers. I would prefer my living room un-bulldozed.
