Well there I don’t see any other options. No matter how much people tell them not to give an inch, that’s just not realistic. The options are pretty much to cut your losses or take back the occupied territories by force. That’s just not going to happen. If it was possible it would’ve already happened. The defensive positions preventing Ukraine to take back the lost ground are significantly more substantial than the ones holding Russia back. If they had equal numbers of men, then maybe but Russia has near infinite source of soldiers to toss into the meat grinder.

Surrender as in just give up and let Russia take control of all of Ukraine? Abso-fucking-lutely not.

Surrender the lost territories, however? It’s without a doubt going to happen.

It’s not about “AI stonks” really. If one genuinely believes that AGI will be the end of us then any form of retirement savings are just waste of time.

I really think that most investors aren’t as hyped about AI stocks as the anti-AI crowd online wants us to believe. They may have increased the weight of their investments on the tech sector but the vast majority of investors are aware of the risk of not diversifying your portfolio and if you’re someone with actual wealth you can invest then they’re probably not putting it all on Open AI.

The recent drop in AI stocks that was in the news a week or two back doesn’t even register on the value of my portfolio even though nearly all of the top companies on it are tech companies.

But the title had “AI” in it.

Also to answer your question: https://lemvotes.org/post/programming.dev/post/36238264

Every single person on earth. There’s nothing more inherently human than caring about what others think.

I get what you mean though - I also try not to let other people’s judgment affect what I do, but I’d be lying to myself if I claimed it doesn’t, and especially if I claimed I don’t care.

LLMs, as the name suggests, are language models - not knowledge machines. Answering questions correctly isn’t what they’re designed to do. The fact that they get anything right isn’t because they “know” things, but because they’ve been trained on a lot of correct information. That’s why they come off as more intelligent than they really are. At the end of the day, they were built to generate natural-sounding language - and that’s all. Just because something can speak doesn’t mean it knows what it’s talking about.

This works both ways: you can also always claim it’s a deepfake even if it isn’t.

If the government is after you they don’t need excuses so I doubt gen-AI changes anything in that regard.

The guys in front of and behind you are thinking the exactly same thing.

• I prefer to operate the clutch and shifting on my truck myself.
• I’ll rather do manual labor than any work that involves sitting on a computer.
• I’m chronically online but without a smartphone addiction.
• I prefer long-form media.

The less apps I have on my phone the better and I mostly browse Lemmy on desktop anyway.

I’m just trying to pick your brain and figure out what exactly is good about Lemmy in this case, but you seem reluctant to give me a cohesive answer.

But what’s the good thing? Yeah Lemmy might not be doing it but I can do it, and Elon can, and Zuck, and Putin and your grandmom. Whatever you post on Lemmy is as public as it can get.

Few notes:

Factoid = Common misbelief often shared as a fact to the point that they had to tweak the meaning of the term because it became a factoid in itself.

There’s also no proven link between dietary cholesterol and blood cholesterol. At least not that I know of.

Let this be a reminder to anyone with an account with over a thousand comments: time for a new one.

Facebook can figure out all of this about you just from what you like and what links you click. Now imagine what a fucking goldmine a few years of your post history is to a deep learning algorithm – let alone someone who’s been using the same Reddit account for two decades. I bet they know those people better than they know themselves.

How exactly is it a good thing in this particular case? All this information is only more accessible on Lemmy.

No, AI stands for Artificial Intelligence, and this isn’t about automation either. The demand for computer scientists just spiked during the pandemic when everyone was stuck at home on their computers - not so much once it ended.

If you had spent the 20 seconds it took to write this comment to actually start reading the article you’d find out the true reason and that AI is not even mentioned.

What do you mean they don’t give you a choice? You always have the choice not to use it. DDG gives me AI summaries and I never read them. WhatsApp has an LLM button I’ve never pressed. Twitter has Grok, never tried it. Android probably has Gemini somewhere, and I don’t even know how to access it. As for Proton’s LLM, I hadn’t even heard of it despite paying for their email for a decade. I just don’t see how something existing as a feature in a service I already use somehow mandates me to engage with it.

If someone is so deeply anti-LLM that they want to avoid all this on principle, I don’t necessarily have an issue with that. But personally, I genuinely struggle to grasp the logic behind it. People seem to have a strong emotional response to LLMs - your reply makes that pretty clear - and that’s the part that really boggles my mind.

I’ve only ever tried ChatGPT and that’s what I’ve stuck with.

Most of the time it does what I ask. My two main uses are editing my writing and answering random questions. I also use it to bounce ideas off, and honestly it’s the “adult” I talk to when I’m about to tear my hair out trying to have civil conversations online. I feel like an LLM is tuned better to my autistic wavelength than most people are. I rarely get to talk about my deepest interests with others because they’re usually not the kind of things your average Joe spends time thinking about - so rather than boring people to death or sharing thoughts with friends who won’t even respond, I find myself turning to ChatGPT more and more.

It’s interesting that I genuinely enjoy my interactions with an LLM more than with most people online. I’m not sure what that says about me, other people, or the LLM itself. Out of everything I do online, YouTube and ChatGPT give me by far the fewest regrettable minutes.

Processed some nettles and hung them drying. A bit more serious attempt this time to try and produce something actually functional.
