  • Do you think I’d be calling it AI slop if I was trying to hype something up? Seriously you’re having some completely different argument here, you’re so sure you know who I am that you don’t even bother to read shit. Just because I said you don’t know jack shit about what you’re talking about you think I’m some sort of AI fan.

    I’m just going to go ahead and block you because this is like talking to a wall. Dear gods you’re as bad as the “AI will solve everything” morons



  • I get it you want to personify it because LLMs make it sound human

    No, this is what you decided I want. The fact that you managed to think this has been my position all along is nothing short of astounding, did you read anything I wrote? The hell gave you the idea that I want to personify LLMs?

    What I want is for people to stop using completely made up technobabble when talking about things, whether it’s AI or any-fucking-thing. There are plenty of excellent arguments against “AI” slop and search engines but none of this canned “AI is just an advanced autocomplete that searches the web” horseshit is it, and saying that really demonstrates you don’t have a grasp on how any of this works.




  • You’re not qualified to have an opinion on any of this if you think “AIs” and search engines both “regurgitate what would be the most likely response” – just because you put a question / query in and it gives you an answer doesn’t mean they function similarly.

    The rest is total nonsense too; can you please describe what you think “an LLM slapped onto a ML program” actually means?

    “Freedom of opinion” means everybody is entitled to having an opinion, but having one doesn’t mean you know what you’re talking about, and you clearly don’t understand how search engines or LLMs work, and you don’t know what the relationship between ML and LLMs is (hint: LLMs are machine learning algorithms, you don’t “slap them onto an ML program”)







  • Yessss let’s go back to the good old days where you didn’t dare get divorced if you were the “homemaker”, because who the hell’s going to hire a person who spent the last 15 years at home raising children? And it was awesome that when 1 parent was the one making money, they spent less time with their kids, so kids bonded more with just one parent!

    Liiike, maybe start with work-life balance? Or, more importantly, have a think on how we do families nowadays? The “nuclear family” concept, which only really got going in the 40’s, is fundamentally broken and unsalvageable, but you’re just assuming that’s the way things should be and that the real problem is with both parents working.

    Think about how children were historically raised in western countries, and still are in many many cultures around the world (and even in the west too for that matter.) “It takes a village” was pretty literal: it wasn’t just the parents looking after their own kids, but various grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles, friends etc. were a part of it. The fact that kids mostly grow up without those kinds of “networks” has been a huge factor in how alienated people feel from society. Growing up in a hermetically sealed cube with much less watchful adult guidance or a feeling of community, yeah that’s going to cause problems.

    We as a species dumped all out skill points into cooperation and being social, and we seem to have forgotten about that.
