Upset? I think we’re all just reveling in his pain.

Then do something.

Chromium is open source? What a concept…

I’m also annoyed by how “in the face” it has been, but that’s just how marketing teams have used it as the hype train took off. I sure do hope it wanes, because I’m just as sick of the “ASI” psychos. It’s just a tool. A novel one, but a tool nonetheless.

What do you mean “black box”? If you mean [INSERT CLOUD LLM PROVIDER HERE] then yes. So don’t feed sensitive data into it then. It shouldn’t be in your codebase anyway.

Or run your own LLMs

Or run a proxy to sanitize the data locally on its way to a cloud provider

There are options, but it’s really cutting edge so I don’t blame most orgs for not having the appetite. The industry and surrounding markets need to mature still, but it’s starting.

Models are getting smaller and more intelligent, capable of running on consumer CPUs in some cases. They aren’t genius chat bots the marketing dept wants to sell you. It won’t mop your floors or take your kid to soccer practice, but applications can be built on top of them to produce impressive results. And we’re still so so early in this new tech. It exploded out of nowhere but the climb has been slow since then and AI companies are starting to shift to using the tool within new products instead of just dumping the tool into a chat.

I’m not saying jump in with both feet, but don’t bury your head in the sand. So many people are very reactionary against AI without bothering to be curious. I’m not saying it’ll be existential, but it’s not going away, I’m going to make sure me and my family are prepared for it, which means keeping myself informed and keeping my skillset relevant.

The fact that you think these are even comparable shows how little you know about AI. This is the problem, your bias prevents you from keeping up to date in a field that’s moving fast af.

It’s all the same… Not sure why you’d have differing opinions between AI for code and AI for art, but please lmk, I’m curious.

Lmao the brain drain is real. Learning too much is now a bad thing

It’s already here dude. I’m using AI in my job (supplied by my employer) daily and it make me more efficient. You’re just grasping for straws to meet your preconceived ideas.

Just because I don’t have a personal interest in AI art doesn’t mean I can’t have opinions.

This is a myth pushed by the anti-ai crowd. I’m just as invested in my work as ever but I’m now far more efficient. In the professional world we have code reviews and unit tests to avoid mistakes, either from jr devs or hallucinating ai.

“Vibe coding” (which most people here seem to think is the only way) professionally is moronic for anything other than a quick proof of concept. It just doesn’t work.

Lmao relax dude. It’s just software.

The concept that a snippet of code could be criminal is asinine. Hardly enforceable nevermind the 1st amendment issues.

No, but you should definitely accept the reality, inform yourself, and prepare for what’s to come.

Not filing is still free.

I couldn’t care less about AI art. I use AI in my work every day in dev. The coworkers who are not embracing it are falling behind.

Edit: I keep my AI use and discoveries private, nobody needs to know how long (or little) it took me.

I got used EPYC stuff and a 3090, but basically the same template; just a few more resources.

• CPU: AMD EPYC 7542 (16 cores / 32 threads)
• Motherboard: Supermicro H12SSL-i
• Memory: Samsung DDR4 8×32GB
• GPU: EVGA RTX 3090 FTW3 24GB

However, I haven’t run into some of the issues you had. With the proxmox host on wired ethernet and my laptop on 5GHz wifi from about 10ft away from the access point I can easily play Rocket League with no noticeable latency, 1440p 120Hz. I’m using sunshine on a windows VM and moonlight on Fedora. It did, indeed, take a crapload of fiddling and I consider myself pretty adept at these things, but it can be done. :D

I also swap the GPU between two VMs. I have a Ubuntu VM I use for AI workloads for fiddling around. On that one, I just ssh in and the GPU is 100% utilized for AI. Planning to add another GPU in the future (or a few).

Can’t speak to remote connections, but my previous experience with cloud providers tells me it might be good enough for slow paced games, but it will fail horribly on anything really latency dependent. Best case scenario is the latency is off by just enough to make you lose your mind, or worse, you get use to the weird remote latency and then get all screwed up when you play at home.

Rejecting the inevitable is dumb. You don’t have to like it but don’t let that hold you back on ethical grounds. Acknowledge, inform, prepare.

Dental and eye insurance is health insurance. Ridiculous that they’re separate.
