I think given how a substantial number of users in Lemmy are old, I think there is simply a natural aversion to the new and grasping for straws. I never hear of younger folks with IT background dismiss AI completely, as much as Lemmy does. I’m not a fan of AI, especially how company shove AI to us, but to dismiss that it won’t evolve and improve is a ridiculous position to me.

Can you explain how quorom sensing is reasoning and exercising logic?

You think microorganisms can reason? Wow, AI haters are grasping for straws.

Honestly, I don’t understand Lemmy scoffing at AI and thinking the current iteration is all it ever will be. I’m sure some thought that the automobile technology would not go anywhere simply because the first model was running at 3mph. These things always takes time.

To be clear, I’m not endorsing AI, but I think there is a huge potential in years to come, for better or worse. And it is especially important to never underestimate something, especially by AI haters, because of what destructive potential AI has.

I’m sure AI will do those things at some point. Nobody expected the same of our microorganism ancestors.

We poked fun at this meme, but it goes to show that the LLM is still like a child that needs to be taught to make implicit assumptions and posses contextual knowledge. The current model of LLM needs a lot more input and instructions to do what you want it to do specifically, like a child.

Edit: I know Lemmy scoff at LLM, but people probably also used to scoff at Veirbest’s steam machine that it will never amount to anything. Give it time and it will improve. I’m not endorsing AI by the way, I am on the fence about the long term consequence of it, but whether people like it or not, AI will impact human lives.

It’s a scam, y’all.

Yeah, I have a backlog of games and thus usually they’re old games to complete (only just couple of years old, not 30 years old), or at least only require lower spec, so I am not in a rush to upgrade my laptop.

I distinctly remember calling someone out as Nazi for misogynistic comments and yet denies being one, despite literally posting Nazi like slogans. Fascists love to act in bad faith and they know it.

It takes decades for innovative products, or seemingly useless ideas, to be commercially viable. That’s why the best response, when asked what is the purpose of doing research on seemingly useless topics, is to say “I don’t know, but I know it’s going to be taxed someday.”

Actual spy balloons.

Did nothing.

Party balloon.

“Ehr ma gerd! It’s a spy drone!”

People pay for subscription to ask AI?

So they know that AI is going to be unprofitable for near to medium term?

Tell me you can’t read without telling me you can’t read.

No, because pedophiles are elected to be in charge to protect them.

On occasions I have done overtime or feel under pressure due to work, I do feel my heart palpitating. But I am lucky I immigrated to a country where the work culture is more relaxed compared to others. Had I gone to another country, I might have ended up the same as the guy in the article.

I’ve yet to see any negative headlines about Mamdani ever since hr won election

Seeing the tankies talk about him on .ml would make you think he was leading the 4the Reich.

Well yeah, it depends exactly what kind of social bubble you are in. If you are in a right wing bubble, you would be led to believe that Mamdani is a woke Muslim terrorist commie.

As a Batman fan, it just occurred to me that I really hope Netflix won’t ruin the IP if they get the chance to buy WB.

So the real investment from Tesla is the company stealing from government resources!!

I see this meme all the time, which is an oversimplification. The 250 year time frame that people ascribe to is usually assigned to a country’s lifetime, but really, the time frame is the average length of a golden era of a country, not its existence. Rome lasted for 2,000 years and China today still exists. When the Chinese talk about this “250 year” thing, they would refer back to how long certain dynasties ruled, not China’s existence. Same with Rome having had its peak come and go while it existed until 1453. France also has had several golden ages as the bigger power in Europe from middle ages to Napoleonic era.

America won’t cease to exist, but it will not be the power it once was, and that’s okay (except for the ultranationalists). It’s okay to be humble.
