They went around stealing thousands of pizzas and now they give out something that resembles a pizza assembling it from imitations of chunks from the stolen pizzas

It’s more that ordering a crime is still illegal. If you tell a person to go and kill someone else you’re still liable. In the case of using an LLM, considering our governments are trying to keep these companies not liable for anything, even assisting children to kill themselves, you’ll likely be judged as a killer yourself anyway. But if the LLM company had some degree of responsibility, you’d still be held as ultimately responsible because the LLM presumably didn’t come up with the crime, you did.

To reiterate what the other person was saying, if you print your own 3D model you can say you created the thing in addition to printing it. If you just download a model, regardless of license, and do no modifications, you just printed someone else’s creation.

When you get an LLM to generate code for you, you can abbreviate that as “I generated this”, which will be understood as using gen AI, saying you created it is misleading as we understand that as meaning you coded it yourself. Even technical leads shouldn’t go around claiming everyone’s work, their credit extends to their designs, direct contributions, leadership, mentoring, etc, they’re not the sole creators of whatever project they lead.

Working exclusively with generated code would make you closer to a maintainer from a library you didn’t write, you can put in the effort to understand what’s going on and maybe even be confident enough that it’s good for what it is, but that doesn’t make you the creator, the same way reviewing a PR from a colleague doesn’t make you the author of their code.

Or until it gaslights you into thinking that pizza (or a new one) is already blue

I think it depends on what happens in countries like China, as they develop more productive capacity in sectors like memory and graphic cards the prices will eventually go down, I hope they keep the components separate for non-datacenter customers but I guess time will tell, and sadly you might be right

How do you achieve that? Calling it out when it happens?

I don’t like LLMs outside of debugging and the way it mimics human closeness creeps me out

It looks bad in the short/medium term, but the bubble will pop, it’s only a matter of time until memory prices come down again and we move past the insanity of burning tokens like there’s no tomorrow. I don’t mean to downplay this though, lots of people and companies are struggling because of the AI bubble and the rush to build datacenters.

That’s incredible lmao

It used to be much, much worse. While some people still struggle a little with Nvidia on Linux, it seems perfectly usable in most distros and games by now.

Neither did the “developer”

I hadn’t noticed, I laughed out loud so long, thank you

Best of luck finding a job, sorry about your father

If you hadn’t say this I’d have assumed everything else was unironic, well done lol

I interpreted it as them mentioning lemmy (since lots of lemmy users are communists or socialists of some flavor), but if they meant to complain I agree with you completely

That’s very understandable, but impractical for investments and savings, the US insures some banks and the like but it doesn’t insure crypto funds, if people’s savings end up there based on false promises (or if their assets are managed by a third party) they can lose everything and have no recourse.

This isn’t a hypothetical, it’s the story of countless people who lost everything to grifters. I don’t think blaming individuals makes a lot of sense when it comes to emerging technology and when, again, regular finance is generally insured by the state. The biggest reason for scammers to flock to crypto is that there’s a lot less regulation, making it harder to prosecute them. And that’s my original point on the choice we have right now, even if ideally we want better choices in the future. Right now you either go with a traditional institution for financial services, which includes government oversight, or you operate on your own and assume a lot of risks, whether you’re even aware of that or not (and financial actors purposely deceive people on this end, as it’s in their best interest to do so).

There are plenty of issues beyond that, especially BTC and similar coins being energy inefficient, just imagine if every single transaction ran through that. It wasn’t designed to be practical.

And on the less technical side, the biggest contributor to crypto being despised by most people is the massive prevalence of scammers, from companies that pretend to help you invest (while being a ponzi scheme) to rug pulls to other scammers being attracted to it for its perceived anonymity.

Afaik there’s legitimate uses for the underlying technology, but cryptocurrency is just inferior to regular digital currency from a practical standpoint, and you either have to put up with government regulation (defeating the purpose of a currency aside from government) or put up with fraud that can’t be stopped by our governments.

They don’t even send the right status code in the header?

100%, my older relatives embraced it wholeheartedly while people younger than me seem to have more negative feelings as they’re being told their career prospects are over thanks to AI, regardless of how true this is. You can even see this divide in entertainment, many mainstream youtubers are clearly aware of how much their (predominantly young) audiences hate AI and respond accordingly, and that’s not to say they don’t have ideological issues with it, but I feel like we’d see a lot more indifference if the audience didn’t hate it as much.

Don’t let the world change you, this is wonderful

Considering the MIC is in bed with AI corporations I worry they will get bailed out to some extent, and that the gains will remain completely private, with taxpayers being expected to foot the bill (or alternatively, dealing with the inflation while their wages remain stagnant). I hope you’re right though, I really want there to be a positive in the end, I’m just skeptical on this front.

The silver lining to me is that there’s encouraging developments in FOSS AI, developed mainly in China. Maybe after the crash we can get somewhat cheaper GPUs to run them locally.

That makes the metaphor imperfect, but the data centers are being paid with circular money that isn’t there, based on the assumption that AI will make obscene amounts of money to actually pay their bills when currently they’re losing lots of investor money to subsidize the price, and they’re already talking about transitioning to a usage based system, which might push some enterprises to use a FOSS alternative from China.

We’re in a bubble, when it pops it’s likely many data center projects will be abandoned before they’re done.
