Unfortunately, even with their small context windows, useless matrices, and lowly statistical representions of language segments, they are better at debugging, brainstorming, "coding", and answering questions than a lot of people, let alone "the dumbest mother fucker on the planet".

That's why those people do not code or do those other things, and, surprisingly, most of those people don't suddenly think they are now better than a person who has done... Just... The smallest amount of actual training to become good at that thing.

You got that AI psychosis in you, buddy. Ask your AI friend for the nearest person to get you the hell away from it.

If only telling you how brainwashed you are would actually fox things. Let me know when you have enough tokens to reply to me.

You've used it once 2+ years ago and wrote it off completely. Do you also still do your laundry with a wasboard and clothesline? Is the Internet just a fad also?

I just don't get why people like you exist. You guys have the stupidest fucking arguments for why not wanting to use the regurgitation machine that murders the environment and causes people to kill themselves is bad.

But, like, do you still use NFTs? That was the future. It was so the future. Same fucking arguments from the same fucking mouth-breathing dipshits.

And using AI does not even make you faster or better at what you do. It can increase output, and it can cause you to do a shit job, and it can falate your ego so you think you are soooo much better and bigger than everyone else, you big strong muscly man, you. You're basically just saying that workers can never and should never have any fucking downtime, ever. They cannot stop. They must always, always produce, more and more. And, like, fuck all the way off. You don't need to output more. You do not need to be faster. You don't need AI, even if it was as good as people pretend it is, which it is not!

Because AI sucks. It isn't good at anything other than replicating an amalgamation of the data that is fed into it. Anyone that says it is good at any other thing is just shit at that specific thing and doesn't know any better. LLMs are just huge giant matrices full of coefficients matching language segments. They don't know jackshit. They have relatively small context windows compared to even the dumbest motherfucker on this planet and people working on making LLMs better are running out of shortcuts to make them better. The money they have been lent needs to start making it back. And they can't make money because they are subsidizing everyone using AI with that venture capital because it still hasn't made a fucking dime yet.

Don't worry, guys. We just need to keep feeding more data into it! It's so much better, guys, I swear! This one won't hallucinate all the time, bro, I swear! Just one more model, it's so close!

There are absolutely no robots doing surgery autonomously. That would be one of the most insane things to do from a moral standpoint, but also from a liability standpoint. Every robot that exists for surgery is highly specialized and rigorously tested and trained upon for obvious reasons.

But, then to come out and say that AI is more accurate than doctors is also incorrect. That is simply not true. An AI can, in highly controlled settings and for specific diagnoses, at its best do not even as well as a specialist in the field, and that is for highly curated tests that give the AI as many advantages as it can get. Again, at best, it can act as a second opinion currently.

Like, it is hard to take people seriously about AI when they lie about its best case scenario. It sucks at everything except killing the environment and getting people to kill themselves, and even if everything all of its defenders said about it was true, it is still a nightmare.

Dang, dude. I don't see the slippery slope of not wanting a rapist in power making me a fascist. Please explain it to me.

[–] webadict@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

This can be true, and so can Graham Platner being a rapist. They are not mutually exclusive. Find a better candidate to back, bro.

[–] webadict@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

And you're wrong. Defend your stance better or change it. Obviously.

How were they untimely? I'm pretty sure untimely would have been after he couldn't drop out. It is so weird to say these are untimely, like it changes the situation. He raped multiple women multiple times, and that is a logical conclusion you can come to by listening to these women's stories, which is why he definitely needed to drop out.

Not everything needs to be legally adjudicated to be true, nor to be believed. He can try to clear his name, but he kinda has had like 50 chances, and this sorta breaks the camel's back, you know?

[–] webadict@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (5 children)

The evidence is pretty damning, actually. What do you think those women gained by accusing him of rape? Because I'll tell you right now, they are kinda getting dogged on by random strangers calling them liars like you.

But also... Graham Platner is just some fucking guy. He isn't anything special, and the fact that he has been accused of rape should be concerning to you.

You can find better representation than him, dude.

The problem with your logic is that you are saying knowingly gets a Nazi tattoo, but you're against anyone having a Nazi tattoo, knowingly or not. So, let me take a slight detour before I get to the point.

The problem I have with an absolutist statement like that is that there are plenty of reasons someone might have a Nazi tattoo, even knowingly, that wouldn't make me immediately not support them. Now, given that statement, the circumstances are probably gonna be pretty stringent, but I don't think it's necessarily unforgivable or even disqualifying... BUT I think it mostly is, especially because you're right that you can probably find someone that is just as good as whoever I could find that fits the bill, but does not and has not ever had a Nazi tattoo. So, like... I guess the point is simple.

You're right. And I am wrong.

I think it's worth noting that many of the people who supported him did not do so out of idiocy. They were taken advantage of, their willingness to forgive exploited. They knew all of these things and were wary of them, but chose to ignore them because they were lied to about the kind of person he was. They trusted him. And they were scammed.

It is easy to say in hindsight that this was easy to see. I was willing to forgive the tattoo at first and the military service at first (though, not the mercenary work, nor the reddit comments, and definitely not the fucking rape) because, well, in some ways I am kinda gullible, and in other ways, I kinda give a lot of leeway to certain privileged people (mostly rich white men) who make mistakes that ruin lives because they never considered the consequences of their actions because society allows them to do so with little to no repercussions, and that subconsciously affects my opinions.

For the record, I wasn't a Platner supporter before this, but I understand how many of them got there. He said a lot of things that people desperately wanted to hear, and that is how people get scammed. They aren't dumb, even if they did act like morons. They're desperate. They're hopeful for anything that can make their lives better. They're even gullible to believe a man with a Nazi tattoo who was a Blackwater mercenary that assaulted many women was a good candidate, and responsible for perpetuated a culture that allows these horrible decisions to continue not being as bad as they should rightfully be. But, even though I understand why you think so, I still don't think they're stupid. And maybe that's another thing on me.

Yeah, I also think it's completely fair to criticize me for not knowing something. Seriously, if I don't know something, feel free to let me know because how else am I gonna learn it if I don't know?

Like, I don't want it to sound like I'm making a joke, I'm not a genius, I can't recognize every warning sign for what it is, I don't know a whole lot about a whole lot, and a lot of my knowledge is learned by people telling me something, me researching a few things pretty casually, and me thinking about a few things. I've unlearned several things I thought was true, and I might even have to unlearn some of those when I find out that's wrong. I don't want you to think that's a point of pride, I want the pride to be that I'm open to being wrong, and I'm going to defend what I think is right against what I think is wrong.

So, like, open season for you. Have at.

I apologize for making you read them. I did not consider that you had feelings worthy of hurting, but next time, I will attempt to think of you. I know that when I type, you're forced to read them, so just pretend that I'm typing Bill Pullman's speech from Independence Day each time, and that might make things easier. If you are unable to do this, please retrieve a hammer or other blunt instrument and smash all of your phones and computers and other electronics in your local vicinity, and you will find that you can no longer read my comments.

[–] webadict@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Not everyone knows everything. To be afraid of being ignorant is silly. I'm not embarrassed about saying I don't know something, and if you are, that says more about you than it does me. I will learn and know for next time.
