That’s… that’s literally the point they are making… did you click the link and read?


Traitors would mean they were ever on your side. Welcome to capitalism, bud. They’ve always been on the side of maximum profit, like all other corporations.


Maybe the statistical approximate just coincidentally lined up with the actual solution?
Yes, right, and this can happen. I didn’t say they are a bad approximation. LLMs may be the most advanced and sophisticated statistical models ever created (if there are other examples of statistical models that are more sophisticated, I would love to learn about them). But given what an LLM actually objectively is, a statistical model of the next token to follow from a sample of language, what other explanation could there be?
We need to keep in mind what the tools that we are working with actually are.
As a code generator, they can produce great results, especially simple stuff like generating a script or some function implementation. Once you get to software engineering tasks like designing system architecture and designing maintainable code, it starts to fall apart really fast. You end up doing all of the work for it in natural language and just using the LLM for a usecase that it is actually great for: translation, from detailed spec to code.


Especially because a statistical model of language has very limited valid usecases. Many tasks that people use LLM for do not make any sense and cannot be accomplished by a statistical model of language. It can only output a statistical approximate of what a solution to the task might look like, not an actual solution.


I would if it was $499


Again, not “agents”. Conventional scrapers and crawlers to build datasets for training AI is the culprit.



And the source is Cloudflare, who’s business model depends on the existence of bots, scrapers, DDoSers, and AI agent nuissances


Its interesting that we are rebranding conventional web scrapers and bots to “AI Agents”


Okay, so right, they still won’t last that long 👍 We’re saying the same thing and making the same points.


It will actually not last that long, because data centers require constant physical maintenance. Its one of the many many reasons that data centers in orbit makes no real sense


Can someone explain a single advantage of a space based data center?
An angry mob cannot destroy it during the social revolution.
However, the ground stations can still be destroyed.

It means that you can access a copy of the source code to read, modify, or run your own instance of the software.
Did they seriously not see it coming? Lol.


This is only amplified by LLMs


Google Search has long since diminished from it’s peak. 15 years ago we used to play a “game” by describing something as vaguely or strangely as possible and would be entertained to find it still on the first page of search results.
SEO and paid ranking caused a steady decline in Google search performance, and LLMs are the kill shot.
Indexing and ranking were already a solved problem, and conventional algorithms accomplished it much better than LLMs do. Unfortunately, LLMs need to find uses to justify investment, so now they must be used for any task that they can be used for, even if its worse than the solutions that we already had.


It’s true and a real thing, but its also just a BS excuse to push for removal of body cameras.


The most important question to ask when evaluating end-to-end encryption: who manages the keys?
If Facebook manages all of the keys and is responsible for telling which public key belongs to who, then of course Facebook can read every message.
Who could it be???
