Russian AvtoVAZ would like a word. It’s factories need no upgrade to follow Cybertruck’s quality standards. There’s a whole new market, the greatest one at that, and I can assure you there is one true place where you can invest into the future industry of cope-caged EVs.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•what’s the longest you went without sleep?English
7·1 year agoAround three days. No drugs, just showers and energy drinks I took sip by sip for a long time. I was somehow productive, but caught my attention stuck a couple of times on something banal like a working microwave buzz. Everything felt dull and I seemingly had no emotions near the end.

4·1 year agoIP hoarding of products that may potentially be produced. Millions of dollars aren’t a pocket change, but if anyone’s going into this wearable AI bullshit, HP’d make a hole in their pockets. It’s a low stakes conservative gamble ‘just in case’.

What can hurt Musk? These kids are nobodies, his co-conspirators all depend on his will, and the only thing I suspect is probable to crush him is either a lone gunner or an oil\tech barron who got too pissed of from his plans ruining their business prospects.

3·1 year agoI perceive my advanced tools akin to a broom.
I can mop floors alright, but I also don’t want to sit down with a cloth to do it.
If I can’t do that myself, and it does that instead of me, that’s not just my tool, that’s my employee, and the one I now depend on.
‘AI’ companies sell us billions of hours of other people’s labor to replace our own need to interject our experience and ingrain themselves into our routine. Like the coming of ads, it’s already normalized. But this time, critical parts of our life has this black box dependancy and subscription.

Technology@lemmy.world•Tech's Dumbest Mistake: Why Firing Programmers for AI Will Destroy EverythingEnglish
3·1 year agoAlso, LLM doesn’t usually have memory or experience. It’s the first page of Google search every time you put in your tokens. A forever trainee that would never leave that stage in their career.
Human’s abilities like pattern recognition, intuition, acummulation of proven knowledge in combination makes us become more and more effective at finding the right solution to anything.
The LLM bubble can’t replace it and also actively hurts it as people get distanced from actual knowledge by the code door of LLM. They learn how to formulate their requests instead of learning how to do stuff they actually need. This outsourcing makes sense when you need a cookie recipe once a year, it doesn’t when you work in a bakery. What makes the doug behave each way? You don’t need to ask so you wouldn’t know.
And the difference between asking like Lemmy and asking a chatbot is the ultimative convincing manner in which it tells you things, while forums, Q&A boards, blogs handled by people usually have some of these humane qualities behind replies and also an option for someone else to throw a bag of dicks at the suggestion of formating your system partition or turning stuff off and on.

If only their slapfight meant something good for the world. At least, I don’t see everything collected in Musk’s hands.

Hehe.
Thank you, I’ve updated the post body.




Resource drain of LLMs inescapably makes them tools availiable only to big players. They are ideal in the way they are naturally gated. Making them mandatory == giving these select companies and people power over everything. And not only oligarchs’ promotion, but the whole situation of them being given for free or cheap at a huge loss gives one an idea that there’s a lot to milk from it’s growing adoption.
