  • Heres a hot take: as a technology AI (whatever that may mean) can be genuinely useful. In the way it is implemented right now destroying the environment and rising the cost of everything I despise everything that it is. LLMs are the main culprit and the utterly idiotic decision to have one model know everything from embedded coding to ancient Babylonian history.

    Neural networks and even specialized small LLMs that I run on decentralized systems are genuinely useful. I use open weight models that I run locally to help with implementing functions from stubs and even do documentation, which it truly is not bad at.

    I don’t hate the technology, I hate the greedy dystopian hyper capitalistic environment destroying way it is deployed in. And the way that it is trained by literally stealing the work of creative people.

    I dont see anything wrong with it. The unit is defined as a “centimeter cube” which is a non-standard unit so while it is not really a great unit definition, it would still be correct.

    I could just randomly divide the scale in equal length sections, say one section is a “squelchon ” and the marker would be 17 squelchons long.

    That’s how measurements based upon human appendages came to be ;)

    EDIT: of course I mean squelchons and not squenchons (completely different unit) ;)
