AI is fantastic.
It’s what it’s being used for that fucking sucks.
I love reading about shit like “LLMs help scientists develop new pattern-seeking behaviors and theories” and shit. Fucking hate when I see AI art or places trying to ‘streamline’ their processes with half-assed AI assistance.
This. I was a phd seeking cybersecurity researcher leaning heavily into AI up until last year, and it bothered me to no end that some of the most promising technology I have ever seen was being primarily used to enhance the police state or increase BP profits by a few %. AI is literally a step towards a utopian post scarcity future, but instead of being used that way it was immediately weaponized against the working class for the benefit of the parasite class.
I don’t understand what this has to do with a PhD in cyber security but I do agree with what you said though
It gives people context for what kind of ai math I’m familiar with/formed my opinions about ai on (ie, generally lightweight transformer models rather than LLMs), as well as a small logos appeal of “hey I spent years of my life researching that shit, I at least kinda know what I’m talking about”
Lol no. If you don’t know how to use a computer or a hammer, you don’t say “computers suck” or “hammers suck”, you buckle up and learn how to use them or pay someone to use it for you, or wait enough so it is dumbed down enough for you to use it.
This is basically the boomer equivalent of a Luddite reasoning LMAO 🤣
Skill issue + git gud
How’s that elmers glue on your pizza tasting? I’m sure all the artists that had their work stolen to feed the machine will get compensation aaaany day now.
Way to champion slop, real pro gamer move.
