  • Does that include the time used to evaluate whether it’ll do that job faster or not (including the time it takes to create the prompt and re read the results included?)

    And if the answer is yes, does it also include the time used to evaluate whether it’ll do that job faster or not (including the time it takes to create the prompt and re read the results and evaluate it’ll do that job faster or not (including the time it takes to create the prompt and re read the results included?))

    And if the answer is yes, does it also include the… Well you get the idea!

    I’m just messing, it’s a valid way.




  • I’m cautiously optimistic, he said we’ll let the chips fall and let the oversight committee do their job. Also that the priority is the economy, cost of living and corruption.

    So in a round about way he said that if that’s where the chips fall, impeachment will happen but that it’s not going to be their top priority.

    But I’ll have to see it to believe it cause these guys…ugh.

    She is caring, cute, clever and really thoughtful

    If you’re ending it, can I get her number? /s

    Y’all need to chill it with crucifying anyone and everyone who uses ai. Like any other tool it depends on how it’s used. (If you can put aside the environmental factors cause a single person using it is not going to even scratch the surface of how much companies are)

    As someone with ADHD, it’s an amazing way to organize thoughts and to destill ideas into actual writing. And before you go on about how you can do that without ai, yes you can, but it requires someone to sit down with you and help you through the executive functioning process that I don’t have. Would you be willing to spend that time and become her brain’s crutch?

    Before you do anything drastic, talk to her, figure out what she uses it for, how it helps her process. Don’t blanket dismiss it cause it’s ai.



  • I think one of the best analogous comparisons is photography in art to the LLM in Coding for example.

    People (including Baudelaire) wrote about photography as “art’s most mortal enemy” in 1855. (Source)

    This one hits hard, the similarities posted this n these threads and this one are striking: Fotography is “the refuge of all failed painters, too ill-equipped or too lazy to complete their studies,” (same source as above)

    There’s more from other people of the time that echo the same sentiment here, but I think you get the idea.

    (Another one that comes up fairly often is the GPS vs maps for taxi drivers; It lowered the barrier of entry to being a taxi driver to: anyone can do it as long as they have a gps. See if this article seems familiar now)

    I totally agree with you that there is resistance to every new technology that comes out, however I don’t think we’ve encountered one so destructive to our ecosystem and climate as this one. Even with GPS we were only adding to the Kessler Syndrome

    I do want to add a little extra here since this seems to be missed a lot in this community: oil accounts for a 60 to 70 times more CO2 emissions than even the worse estimates of LLM data centers (Edit: though it isn’t there biggest source of energy). The nasty tidbit is that if we source energy for data centers from non renewables we’d be increasing our CO2 emissions by a lot (I actually dont have numbers for that, how do transform 1 Peta Watt of energy, by 2030, into CO2 emission if sourced exclusively from nonrenewables?) however if we were to exclusively source it from renewables and then have some more renewable energy on the side for everyone else… Who knows, if I’m not being too generous, we might even decrease our carbon emission like that.
