"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.

Nope, LLM improvements have already hit the top of the logistics curve and are rapidly burning more fossil fuels and boiling off more water to get diminishing returns. The experiment failed, they are a tragic waste of resources that have netted no widespread benefit and now the imminent collapse of the incestuous money circle at the top is going to take the global economy down with it.
I would be fine with it all failing and the economy falling and us killing all the rich, could be a good outcome. I just don't think that's correct though, llms are getting better. Maybe not the basic underlying math but people are smart and have continued to find ways to make these systems preform better and better with every new model.
Yeah except every time someone gives hands me a one pager or flyer or other doc they "made" in copilot and have edits make, I have to spend twice as long redesigning the entire thing and typing all the text by hand in actual design software and then making the changes they want. And before you say "prompt engineer it" the reason they keep coming to me for fixes is because prompt "engineering" doesn't fucking work and theyve already lost a few hours trying to make that one change without fucking up the rest of it. I've gotten to the point where is someone wants something designed, I tell them to skip copilot and send me the raw write-ups and I'll make the designs.
