That’s why WSL is still king. You can do all your work, play all your games and still use your flavor of Linux. I even do my dev work out of it when there’s no compliance requirements

People used to just play the endgame in single player games. I probably put more hours into Tales of Symphonia after I beat all the content than before.

Don’t be so aggressively ignorant then.

I’m not even going to dignify you with a response anymore. Go take a few civic classes and shut the fuck up.

I work in an extremely related field and spend my days embedded into ML/AI projects. I’ve seen teams make some cool stuff and I’ve seen teams make crapware with “AI” slapped on top. I guarantee you that you are wrong.

What if our brains…

There’s the thing- you can go look this information up. You don’t have to guess. This information is readily available to you.

LLMs work by agreeing with you and stringing together coherent text in patterns the recognize from huge samples. It’s not particularly impressive and is far, far closer to the initial chat bots from last century than they do real GAI or some sort of singularity. The limits we’re at now are physical. Look up how much electricity and water it takes just to do trivial queries. Progress has plateaued as it frequently does with tech like this. That’s okay, it’s still a neat development. The only big takeaway from LLMs is that agreeing with people makes them think you’re smart.

In fact, LLMs are a glorified Google at higher levels of engineering. When most of the stuff you need to do doesn’t have a million stack overflow articles to train on it’s going to be difficult to get an LLM to contribute in any significant way. I’d go so far to say it hasn’t introduced any tool I didn’t already have. It’s just mildly more convenient than some of them while the costs are low.

Biden’s admin had to cook unemployment numbers to the point they were constantly adjusting them to a considerably higher number several months later. Biden watched an entire year of mass layoffs and tried to pretend everything was fine.

Every American president lies about the economy.

Yes, but we applied them because Russia attacked. Once we apply them we can no longer use them as leverage. If you tell China you’re going to do it even if they don’t invade Taiwan then that gets erased from the “Cons” side of the board.

I doubt it as well, but I bet it would be worth the shot. Be nice to see some allies get a much deserved windfall.

I’m the expert in this situation and I’m getting tired explaining to Jr Engineers and laymen that it is a media hype train.

I worked on ML projects before they got rebranded as AI. I get to sit in the room when these discussion happen with architects and actual leaders. This is Hype. Anyone who tells you other wise is lying or selling you something.

If you trained it on all of that it wouldn’t be a good builder. Actual builders would tell you it’s bad and you would ignore them.

LLMs do not give you accurate results. They can simply strong along words into coherent sentences and that’s the extent of their capacity. They just agree with whatever the prompter is pushing and it makes simple people think it’s smart.

AI will not be building you a house unless you count a 3D printed house and we both know that’s overly pedantic. If that were the case a music box from 1780 is an AI.

It’s so weird watching the masses ignore industry experts and jump on weird media hype trains. This must be how doctors felt in Covid.

That’s a green light for them to invade Taiwan then.

I was thinking of a country that might be able to use it now.

Electronics get what they deserve.

It seems like they want to downsize. I wonder if Europeans can convince the orange guy to sell some equipment at a discount rather than ship it home.

If you’re child free why aren’t you doing anything then, big man? What else do you have to live for?
