I’m saying non-critical things about gen-AI on Lemmy of all places

so brave lmao

I’ve been dreaming of a place like Lemmy for 20 years, and i had a lot of theories about what it would be. But i would never have predicted how salty it is. I swear 3 conversations out of 4 just descend into snark and name-calling, it’s a fucking shame if you ask me. It really is one of the least welcoming places of the whole internet.

You genuinely might need to touch grass.

This thread is hilarious to us all. I’m sorry you have to go through this but it is, indeed, a great illustration of your point. The other commenter is making very large assumptions and the goalpost is moving so fast it might actually be on wheels. Oh and a new slippery slope just dropped : using ChatGPT will now worsen your communication skills (for unspecified reasons, according to bad communicators wholly unfamiliar with the matter at hand).

I think you missed an opportunity. It would have been much simpler to post “Does anyone else think AI kinda bad ?” and raked in all the accolades and upvotes.

I think it’s a concept that’s hard to grasp for people with semi functioning families. Obviously they tend to believe that the model that worked for them is desirable.

Le ai Bad amirite guize

And certainly not as spooky as spectrography

How are emoji zoomer ? If I had to guess of say they’re more of a millennial thing

I suspect a lot comes from the ingredients being mediocre when you buy them at high demand periods.

I come from the French country side, my father raises poultry and makes his own foie gras and deli meats. When I see the shit they sell at Christmas, which most of my fellow countrymen eat every year… I wouldn’t be surprised reading a comment similar to yours about French Christmas food.

Maybe your grandma can’t afford the good stuff, or doesn’t have access to it ?

Why can’t a woman take illegal drugs? Control of your own body is a philosophical concept not a legal one.

Seveneves would be the bomb (eta : they could even do the last part as a separate animated short)

Just blocked politics & news and my quality of life instantly jumped 200%. I highly recommend it. If something significant happens, you’ll read about it in another community.

Then you have to agree that piracy is theft and people pirating content should be sued.

100% fuck the predatory landlord culture

Kudos op for a very unpopular opinion (at least on Lemmy).

I’d add that people trying to gatekeep what is and isn’t art are missing the whole entire point of it. I get the same vibe about AI art on Lemmy as when boomers criticize modern art on Facebook.

Any group that adds quotes around the word art (as in AI “art” or performance “art”) instantly loses any legitimacy on the subject. They’re virgins discussing sex acts.

Even if you were extremely generous and didn’t factor in the scams in your analysis, the reality is that a Blockchain solves problems 99.9% of people will never face. This breaks the whole imagined model, when your product is ultra niche but relies on mass adoption for its security.

Alternative interpretation cause i find i18n extremely boring and hate the indirection it adds to a code base : you’re telling me I can start making an app without this hassle, and it will only cost me a 2Kloc PR some time in the future. That’s a totally manageable price to pay and makes the early dev experience much better (which can have a lot of impact on momentum).

If you like to write, I find that story boarding with stable diffusion is definitely an improvement. The quality of the images is what it is, but they can help you map out scenes and locations, and spot visual details and cues to include in your writing.

Just yesterday I got an ad for actual shrooms! The website even had a “how is this legal” section, but the legal theory in there was… Not very convincing…

Then these models are stupid

Yup that is kind of the point. They are math functions designed to approximate human tasks.

These models should start out with basics of language, so they don’t have to learn it from the ground up. That’s the next step. Right now they’re just well read idiots.

I’m not sure what you’re pointing at here. How they do it right now, simplified, is you have a small model designed to cut text into tokens (“knowledge of syllables”), which are fed into a larger model which turns tokens into semantic information (“knowledge of language”), which is fed to a ridiculously fat model which “accomplishes the task” (“knowledge of things”).

The first two models are small enough that they can be trained on the kind of data you describe, classic books, movie scripts etc… A couple hundred billion words maybe. But the last one requires orders of magnitude more data, in the trillions.
