look into how a majority of their workers are H1B workers and why they cant speak up politically.

Sounds like all your problems are with capitalism and not LLMs but you can’t see that.

And good for you that you’re in a position to not deal with bullshit in your work. Not everyone has that luxury.

Get some empathy for people in different circumstances as you. You sound like a child.

Also there’s a fuck ton of useful training data with permissive licenses. Also, fuck copyright law. It’s been weaponized by capitalists to control our lives. Especially cause the artists barely gets theirs.

We’re never gonna see eye to eye so don’t bother. Peace and love. Have a good day.

Of course you don’t. You’re one of the non-creatives who thinks that “prompt engineering” makes you a creative, undoubtedly.

Sure, that’s exactly what I believe … Wow I’m so called out. I use it as a tool to do boring menial tasks so that I can spend my time on more meaningful things, like spending time with my family, making some dinner, spend time on the parts of my work I enjoy and automate the boring tedious parts, like writing boilerplate code that’s slightly different based on context.

But the first “L” in “LLM” says it all. The very definition of degenerative AI requires the wholesale dismemberment of human culture to work and, indeed

Can you elaborate on how and the mechanisms by which this is happening as you see? Why do you see it that way? Do you not see any circumstances in which it could be useful? Like legitimately useful? Like have you not written a stupid tedious email to someone you didn’t like that you couldn’t be bothered to put more than 2 seconds to prompt it to some one or thing else to deal with it for you?

there’s already a problem: the LLM purveyors have hit a brick wall. They’ve run out of material to siphon away from us and are now stuck with only finding “new” ways to remix what they’ve already butchered in the hopes that we think the stench from the increasingly rotten corpse won’t be noticeable.

This is true it’s starting to eat its own tail. That also doesn’t mean all new models are using new data. It could also be using better architectures on the same data. But yes using ai generated data to train new ai is bad and you’ll end up creating nerfed less useful model that will probably hallucinate more. Doesn’t mean the tech isn’t useful cause you’ve not seen it used for anything good.

I don’t agree with that. If you use it to destroy human creativity, sure that will be the outcome. Or you can use it to write boring ass work emails that you have to write. You could use it to automate boring tasks. Or a company can come along and automate creativity badly.

Capitalism is what’s ruining it. Capitalism is what is ruining culture, creativity, and the human experience more than LLMs. LLMs are just a knife and instead of making tasty food we are going around stabbing people.

and yeah people made guns just to put holes in pieces of paper, sure nothing else. If you do not know how LLMs work, just say so. There are enough that are trained on public data which do not siphon human creativity.

It is doing a lot of harm to human culture, but that’s more of how it’s being used, and it needs real constructive criticism instead of simply being obtuse.

Guns are literally for killing like its all they do. Even for hunting the sole purpose is to kill. That’s not the case with LLMs, its just exclusively how these companies are using it as they have all the power to dictate terms in the workplace.

And a person with an H1B can only change to a job within a certain radius of their current job and if it’s beyond that radius they need to report it to the govt.

Silicon valley is full of H1B visa holders who can’t speak up politically or risk deportation.

AI is gonna mirror our biases back to us. If the AI has found a bias it’s cause or our internal biases. You could force diversity to hide the underlying issue and then you’ll get PoC nazis during WW2 like what Google did. Or … Call me crazy … But we could try to address the underlying societal issues.

One doesn’t need to be… It can be used for useful things … Unlike what it’s used for now

Its the companies that are the problem.

I would argue it’s not the AI but the companies (that make the AI) making unattainable promises and misleading people.

Hilarious and depressing

Great app idea to get pics of genitals!

Slackware current.

Its social media. Its all a scam right?

Lina Khan!! She’s the only good aspect about this admin.

I agree with you. I’m just talking about the factors at play.

Removed by mod

right, and maybe then saying that may have been useful, now its kinda necessary if you are job hunting and networking (and i hate that). and I cant not look for a job cause i need food and shelter and the economy is shit.

So hot you can keep it
