"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Not sure if he did this to show how stupid it was on purpose, but if that wasn't his purpose, then this was really stupid.
First of all, you can't boast an "open-source toolchain" if you're using fucking Claude to operate it.
Second of all, did he have it assembled and shipped to him? He could have just had the PCB printed and then soldered it together himself.
Third of all, why would you do anything "blind" with AI? Its only real use is expanding your own capabilities, so forfeiting your own agency and giving it full control is idiotic.
Fourth of all, "stay tuned," like he's planning on trying this again...
How do LLMs have a 'real' use-case? Only actual beneficial application I am aware of is in large dataset processing for research purposes.
You literally just answered your own question.
Besides, you really had to torture my point in order to present it as somehow a defense or a promotion of LLMs, when clearly it was a critique.
