This guy made a joke and a bunch of Twitter users took it seriously. Context.

Oh yeah absolutely, but I also think the goal of the AI companies is not to actually create a functioning AI that could “do a job 20% as good as a human, but 90% cheaper”, but to sell fancy software, whether it works or not, and leave the smaller companies holding the bag after they lay off their workforce.

Right? It actually makes me feel insane that the topic of “humans working less” is never in the selling points of these products.

Honestly I suspect that rather than some nefarious capitalist plot to enslave humanity, it is just more evidence that the software can’t actually do what the people selling it to big corporations claim it can do.

This bit at the end, wow:

Gartner still expects that by 2028 about 15 percent of daily work decisions will be made autonomously by AI agents, up from 0 percent last year.

Agentic AI is wrong 70% of the time, but even assuming a human employee is barely correct most of the time and wrong 49% of the time, is it really still more efficient to replace them?

Very nice (and sad)

I like where your head’s at, but Mastodon’s system of verification seems much easier to me and doesn’t rely on a third party.

Also this is not a news article, it’s an opinion essay. It’s perfectly reasonable to read this at any time.

For YouTube tutorial videos I have no issue with relying on GPT, but I think it’s important to recognize that the translation of art is art. I don’t feel good about the idea of something without a soul or perspective interpolating a work of art from one culture and language into another that might be wildly different from where it started.

That all said, I think Crunchyroll and anyone else using AI art without disclosing it absolutely should be honest about it.

Because unlike Mastodon there is no one main “discussion forum” fedi app, we have Lemmy, mbin, kbin, piefed. The term has nothing to do with Meta Threads!

twas a joke, but that’s a nice feature!

Storing upvote / downvote totals you gave to each user, and a setting to display that history next to their name.

Where is the instance that autobans any account that users have downvoted X times? I want to join it.

Lemmy does feel more and more like 4chan every day…

The term “reasoning model” is as gaslighting a marketing term as “hallucination”. When an LLM is “Reasoning” it is just running the model multiple times. As this report implies, using more tokens appears to increase the probability of producing a factually accurate response, but the AI is not “reasoning”, and the “steps” of it “thinking” are just bullshit approximations.

This is literally literally a drama article

It’s annoying to be treated that way isn’t it?

Please don’t sealion me.

That’s a good point, I have no doubt Linux would not be in the position it is if he were more sensitive to it.
