@glyph I am so vicariously embarrassed for the people who believe the "eventually these will become self-improving and will grow exponentially" lie

@glyph Today's hammers are the worst hairbrushes you'll ever have to use.
(Never mind that no amount of hammer progress will make a better hairbrush, that hammers aren't actually progressing, and that hairbrushes are a mostly solved problem that does not generally involve hammers. Oh, and never mind that this analogy sucks in that hammers are still useful for something, unlike GPT-whatever-version.)

@glyph I would call it a child's understanding of how technology develops, but this would be insulting to children
it's a billionaire's understanding

@psistarpsiii @jamesh @glyph That's kinda where the analogy fails, I suppose... really, if the slopbros had their way we'd all have nails for hair, but the nails would be about as stiff as wet noodles.

Even worse are the number of influencers who parroted the talking point.

Inexcusable for those content creators who do actually understand how neural networks are really trained -

Gonna be challenging to improve the "intelligence" of the AI chatbots especially in light of what Meta has been doing to the training data company that used to supply all the AI tech companies with human curated answers to questions that their LLMs would learn to regurgitate

@SnoopJ @glyph
You don't need to have a bridge to sell.Just a pitch deck that mentions AI a number of times. You can even AI generate it.
You can sell a lifeless rock with just the promise that the real AI software upgrade is in the pipeline

@glyph I approve of this message.
(Not that you need or asked for my approval. It's just another thing you have.)

@glyph I agree with you of course, but we do have an economy where the name of the game is externalising as much of the cost as you can onto some other sucker/the public

@glyph Gallows humor isn't as funny if you don't think about the gallows frequently enough to be a point of reference.

@datarama yeah while this may be (I hope?) amusingly phrased, it is not a joke. this is actually a pretty serious emotional and executive regulation problem for me right now

@glyph it’s kinda the 3am of the year, ya know? Hang in there, the light is about to start coming back.

@xgranade @glyph I gave a talk a couple months back where I updated "A Modest Proposal" to illustrate the rather alarming state we're in re: AI Industry.
This was within a conference where several talks, including a keynote, were focused on how to implement LLM tools into your workflows.
The response I received was surprising to me. It was overwhelmingly positive from the attendees, a standing ovation if I remember correctly (maybe a couple hundred in the room).
It feels like, inherently, many developers have some pent up/repressed feelings toward the situation we're in ... but also, maybe they feel resistance is futile... I really can't say. I observe a lot of cognitive dissonance.
I really do think that in the end, it'd be great if, regardless of where we stand on the "usefulness" debate, we could at least agree on the need for accountability and consequences. (i.e. as Cassandra noted elsewhere, having any sort of useful regulation that's enforceable and pro-worker)

Ma c’è davvero?
Ero convinto che sostituire lo SPID con la sola CIE creasse un gigantesco punto singolare di rovina (SPOF). Leggendo per articoli come «Come attivare la CIE, la carta d’identità elettronica gratuita come alternativa allo SPID» dove son tutti entusiasti delle magnifiche sorti e progressive della CIE mi viene il dubbio. Sono solo catastrofista e l'infrastruttura CIE è perfettamente robusta e priva di fragilit

@twilliability@genart.social Thanks for sharing this. I didn't know about the bootloader issue—I've been on iPhone for a while now, so I'm a bit out of the loop on Samsung's recent moves.

@quinta Oh, bene grazie.
Perché sono anni che ci scalpellano l’uccello con faro culturale, la democrazia matura, gli anticorpi ma con la cultura del fare.
No, non le faranno.
Imploderanno e noi con loro, perché non abbiamo mai voluto fare l’Europa, preferendo la rappresentanza del Molise a Bruxelles, che utilizziamo da sempre come bancomat, e esilio per mezze seghe e antagonisti interni.E abbiamo Di Maio come appresentante speciale dell’UE per la regione del Golfo.
E Otelma muto.
