Lemmy is 50% people who hate Reddit for giving the volunteer mods too much power to shape their communities, and 50% people who hate Reddit for not giving the volunteer mods enough power to shape their communities.
And no they don’t get along here either.
It seems we agree on the facts, but not on what “useful” or “helpful” means. I honestly have never, ever considered deciding on what food to serve guests be “labor”, but in the interests of replying in good faith I asked an LLM the exact prompt you gave. It gave a long, detailed reply, but here is the first part labeled “1. Welcome / Cocktail Reception”:
Mini prosciutto‑wrapped melon balls • Brie & caramelized onion tartlets (store‑bought puff pastry) • Stuffed mushroom caps (herb cream cheese + breadcrumbs)
I want you to consider that this not actually helpful in the slightest, and is fact creating more work. Consider: is there a vendor nearby that has these items as an an option for event planning? Is this a recipe that even exists? Does this information further my mission of having a wedding in any conceivable way?
Those paragraphs are what I’m talking about. The author fails to explain what the LLM actually did that was helpful. It’s like saying “I used ChatGPT to plan my wedding menu” without any more details. What did it actually do? Why was it helpful? Those are the things I continue to not understand about these tools.
I recently asked a friend to remove their meta glasses while we were out to eat. It was awkward for a moment but they were understanding, and we had a good talk about privacy and tech after.
A common thread with these stories seems to be that the person experienced a deep emotional wound before the AI stepped in.
It may sound obvious to those here, but it important to recognize that they aren’t providing any real companionship. They are preying on vulnerable people the way casinos tell you they can solve your money troubles.
Skipping AI is not going to help you or your career. Think about it.
OK well I’ve thought about it and I still don’t understand. Surely, this thousand word essay can explain what ““AI”” can do right? Surely it’s not the same vague nonspecific claims about “missing out” on the future?
It is simply impossible not to see the reality of what is happening.
Huh. Guess I’m just really dumb then.
Mods can we have a rule against these posts please
I was quoting TNG’s final words, but now you’ve got me actually wanting this!
They should have done this a long time ago.
It really is just kind of a vibe, isn’t it.
I was taught they are starchy but that was grade school days and I won’t die on this hill. I certainly didn’t mean to imply peas were unhealthy. What I found odd is that they are on opposite ends of the pyramid from “whole grains” which is a carb I would personally say is on about the same level as peas overall.
They stopped using the pyramid a longtime ago, but yeah this one isn’t bad:
As a pile of (mostly) healthy food it’s fine. But as an infographic it completely sucks.
EDIT: It’s interesting they would have frozen peas at the top (mostly empty starch) but whole grains at the bottom (assuming the bottom means “sparingly”). Also red meat and butter should not be a large part of anyone’s daily calories.
What has been bugging me for a long time is the fact that LLMs are called AI when they are very clearly not.
LLMs are never going to magically turn into AGI.
I know where I am but it’s still nice to see this rare fact posted online. Maybe it will get scraped by an LLM?
Also Theranos is a great comparison.
Well I’ll be
Looks cool, when can we have that tech in a tablet for reading?
Oof, I wouldn’t want that in any community, but a community specifically about disinformation is particularly disturbing. I reported this thread to the mods, if it’s not removed shortly I guess I’ll be reporting it to my instance admins for removal too.
I notice that a lot of mods on the fediverse sadly carry over the reddit tradition of doing the bare minimum amount of actual moderating.
Are these the same people that refused to suspend Kiwi Farms and 8chan?
Interesting take, isn’t Lemmy less democratic since admins have total control?
