I thought the nazi propaganda on the internet was annoying 20 years ago when I occasionally bumped into it. Now I’ll have to carefully curate the internet to not have to hear it constantly. Jfc.

My CEO told us we need to work faster. 100,000 people and he just makes that blanket statement, like we’re all naughty children for not sleeping on our office floors every night to save commute time.

Literally said he want things that take a week now, he wants done in a day, and a 1 day turn around should now be 1 hr. Did not specify what department or discipline or was referring to. We all just lazy to him.

Of course, this company has the same employees for the last like 10 CEOs. The bulk are just jaded as fuck. Every now and then I see a new hire find the company song and start playing at meetings to lick boot. Then someone pulls him aside to let him know the company was helping the Nazis with eugenics when this was being pushed, so just shut the fuck up, we dont need to be glorifying those idiots.

Sounds like a skill problem.

Thanks

Just had a friend die of a heart attack while working in construction with his friends. Didn’t make it to the hospital.

That’s how I want to go. Just times up one day.

Thinking is what humans do. We hold concepts in our working memory and use stored memories that are related to evaluate new data and determine a course of action.

LLMs predict the next correct word in their sentence based on a statistical model. This model is developed by “training” with written data, often scraped from the internet. This creates many biases in the statistical model. People on the internet do not take the time to answer “i dont know” to questions they see. I see this as at least one source of what they call “hallucinations.” The model confidently answers incorrectly because that’s what it’s seen in training.

The internet has many sites with reams of examples of code in many programming languages. If you are working on code that is of the same order of magnitude of these coding examples, then you are within the training data, and results will generally be good. Go outside of that training data, and it just flounders. It isn’t capable and has no means of reasoning beyond its internal statistical model.

You seem upset by my comment, which i dont understand at all. Im sorry if I’ve offended you. I don’t have a bias against LLMs. They’re good at talking. Very convincing. I dont need help creating text to communicate with people, though.

Since you mention that this is helping you in your free time, then you might not be aware how much less useful it is in a commercial setting for coding.

I’ll also note, since you mentioned it in your initial comment, LLMs dont think. They can’t think. They never will think. Thats not what these things are designed to do, and there is no means by which they might start to think if they are just bigger or faster. Talking about AI systems like they are people makes them appear more capable than they are to those that dont understand how they work.

It gave you the wrong answer. One you called absurd. And then you said “Really good stuff.”

Not to get all dead internet, but are you an LLM?

I dont understand how people think this is going to change the world. Its like the c suite folks think they can fire 90% of their company and just feed their half baked ideas for making super hero sequels into an AI and sell us tickets to the poop that falls out, 15 fingers and all.

I dont think they’re buying the spin. The maga folks i know arent.

These need to be hung separately. Different walls. Or at least with a sizeable space between them.

Let’s deescalate

This isn’t cancel culture. This is a hit list.

The only thing that ever comes in contact with my water bottle is water. It is always spotless.

You are contaminating it with your mouth when you drink from it. If you put sugary stuff in there, you are basically carrying a petri around with you and asking why its growing stuff.

Or manure.

Wow you did it! How much data to hit critical mass?

The current gnome (3) is very different from previous versions. You might like a modern fork of gnome, like mate. Don’t let something that has a gnome connection turn you off right away if all you’ve seen is gnome 3.

Big fan of Harry Potter, I guess?

AI ruins everything.

Heaven forbid someone even suggests JK isn’t an advertiser freindly content creator over her hate speech. Expect the full Karen free speech rant.

Pascal supports his family member, and these troglodytes make it their mission to prevent him from making a living.

I have a rule of thumb in life. If it reminds me of Nazi rhetoric, I stay far away. It is rarely applicable but crucial when it is. I forget sometimes that there are people that not only dont think the same as me, they actually think the opposite.

Its a series of tubes.

Its seared in my brain.
