Uhhhh no?

Also there are SO many phones.

There’s only a few ps5s. I’m not sure if they share the same code that’s been leaked here but probably.

This, except the otter is making out with the rat while the mole is inside the otter with the rat in its mouth

I don’t really understand what you’re getting at here.

Yes. All animals know exactly which human is touching them. They know who every human is, where they live, and their fears.

If a lion named duke that lives in Kenya ever gets to North America I am FUCKED.

I started tinkering with ai right around the time ChatGPT rose to prominence. Locally. On my own machine.

I’m not a doctoral level researcher but I mostly get the tech.

I couldn’t agree more. People use ai as a blanket term and don’t understand the difference between an LLM and GAN or any of the dozens of other kinds of models.

If it’s ai it’s bad. Just full stop. Like. The anger of people decrying the death of artistic beauty on subs that prominently feature ms paint stick figure drawings and shitty distorted images makes no sense to me. This isn’t costing anyone’s job. It’s fucking garbage content, with no agenda, and always was.

Having autonomous LLMs posting things is problematic but have ai generated shitposts isn’t.

There is fuck all wrong with using ai to make art to hang on your walls, or funny t shirts, or ridiculous banners, or funny pictures to share with friends. The people that decry the death of art have never bought anything in a gallery, they were fine with artists getting paid fuck all before ai. They weren’t contributing to artists’ living in any meaningful way.

And like. The most vocal critics seem to understand the least about it. Such that they hate it because it’s made with ai just assume that someone’s made it using OpenAI because that’s the only thing their rage-addled minds can process existing.

They say it’s theft and we should ban everything (how’s that working out for you?) instead of clamouring for fair compensation for anyone whose work is being used to train a model.

They’ll yell: all these models are based on theft. And sure. But a) I don’t give a flying fuck about a corporation’a right to exploit an artist and profit off their work and never have. And b) will respond to the suggestion that we create new models that fairly compensate people by yelling louder and becoming irate.

They’re not rational. There are many valid criticisms of the tech, but you can’t even talk to these people about addressing them. Because a lot of the criticisms can and should be addressed. They won’t hear it.

While I agree that execs are not people, I don’t think they’re being controlled by LLMs.

They’re already idiots for the most part though so what does it matter.

I’m not sure Google has offloaded all of their thinking to LLMs.

Google still employs very very smart people.

They’d just have to be morally bankrupt human refuse to be contributing actively to the profit-driven destruction of the internet and mass public surveillance like they are, so the rest of your points still stand.

And while a lot of that intelligence may be wasted, it’s more a function of banal evil and corporate bloat than LLMs.

We should start feeding all the dead bodies to sharks.

The oceans would have so many sharks.

Sharks, as far as the eye can see. Ah. What a world that would be.

Hammerhead sharks. Nurse sharks. Great white sharks. Reef sharks. So many sharks.

Edit:

SHARKS!

Sharks?

Where?

They’re over here and over there, in fact they’re everywhere!

They’re in the rivers in the sea, why there’s sharks! Sharks! As far as the eye can so. Oh what a world that would be.

But Fred, I don’t see any sharks around, this might be in your head. Are confused? Are you concussed? Have you been fooled? Is this a ruse? Fred? Fred!?

They haven’t been born yet Mark, but look around this lovely park, it’s full of old ones, covered in gold bond, they’re not long for this earth, and then what is their worth?

Mark, mark, just think about the people in this park, their walkers gone without a song to sing with mouths or hearts. Should we bury them in stinking earth or burn them in Fort Worth?

There’s one solution that I see, it’s sharks, and mankind’s future’s there in shimmering seas.

When it’s my time to depart this earth, my body’s lost its only worth, so wait until the night is dark and throw me to the sharks.

The sharks, the sharks, they’ll feed on human flesh and breed and choke the rivers and the seas, this I ask my dearest Fred, that you do when I’m dead, the shark, the sharks, that’s the burial for me.

You could write a bash script to move the file from the download folder to the music library too.

Haven’t done any bash scripting in a minute so sorry if this is off, but you get the gist:

For files in /path/downloads/*; do mv “$files” /path/musiclibrary/; done

You can also output a list of all the files in your music library with ls -alR /path/musiclibrary >> /downlaods/musiclibrary if you want a list

Which you can grep for a file name to check if it’s there

The explosion of this type of garbage is a big part of what killed Reddit imo. Or at least when the decline became noticeable.

We stopped seeing memes and the front page was just twitter screenshot after twitter screenshot and then the video garbage came along and it just spiralled.

I personally think it’s worth limiting this kind of thing to avoid the same fate. Though at the moment I don’t see it as a problem because lemmy users don’t seem to be going overboard with this stuff. There’s some restraint and judgment in place at the moment but who knows how long that’ll last.

Yeah, that one.

Elite dangerous is a blast for a while. And it has vr.

I haven’t played since before you could go and walk around, but for what it is I loved it for a while.

Wide as an ocean and deep as a puddle but it takes a long while to notice the lack of depth and it’s a blast to pop in your vr headset and some good country trucking music and just hop around the galaxy trading.

Ya know, this really makes you think about the upper limit of plastic microparticles that can fit into a human asshole doesn’t it?

There’s that can’t do attitude America is increasingly known for.

Eat deez nutz

Eat something that comes out of ten women named Mary as penance.

You keep saying number crunching - gpus “crunch numbers” cpus “crunch numbers” ai models ARE numbers.

It might or it might not.

I agree that it will likely will given the insane progression in ai models of every kind and the absurd amount of money being invested into it, but it’s not a certainty.

LLMs are likely a dead end but anyone that thinks the buck stops there is an idiot.

I sincerely don’t understand how anything you wrote with disagrees with my comment about technological advancement not being linear.
