I really fucking hate it here. I am actually hoping that this results in amerikkka absolutely destroying the internet (because anything is better than the most lukewarm regulation I guess. I have yet to see one implementation of chatgpt that is not just stealing someone’s script on stackoverflow or some forum from decades ago and synthesizing it with some other information. Totally doesn’t violate any IP laws whatsoever though!

Where are the philosophers when you need them? All of this shit is a consequence of Zuckerberg and a host of other Silicon Valley sociopaths bypassing any semblance of learning about humanity and locking themselves in a dark room and feeding their fragile egos because they can’t interact with humans.

Humanity really did a great job allowing these guys to exist 👍

lol it’s honestly just going to get worse and worse. More and more people will be on the periphery of mass inequality with this garbage and just enough of them will have enough to afford the latest wire tap that brings them circuses.

        Making me biggest pile of spaghetti code just to make an AI generated chunk of code work is just... so... USA'ian.

    The internet is fucked, time to return to the era of antennas

    Anyone wanna set up a microwave link with me for a new packet routing network? soviet-bashful Msg me on the APRS on 144.390 MHz (or whatever your local APRS nodes run on) at redacted-1redacted-2

    Let's make a politically-correct (I mean this unironically) internet 2.0 uhhhhh dual power or something (apparatus of posting)

    Nah but really though I hope this AI shit explodes the market sometime, even though it's gonna hurt a lot of us when it goes yea

    Philosophers are little reactionary nerds that hiss at having to teach online and learn how to press buttons in a given sequence. They can’t be arsed to do anything other than bitch and whine about AI making kids dumber.

      Yeah there's a few good eggs but most aren't actually in philosophy departments.

      However the gutting of the humanities/gen ed, etc. is the real issue.

    It's pretty much the same among the developers I know. I don't get how adults are so amazed by shiny new toys.

    Also, GPT isn't actually very good at writing code imo. Like it can tell you how to reverse a list in Python, but as soon as you ask a question in a less popular language or using a weird library, it will hallucinate something that sounds plausible but is wrong. That actually wastes more time then just looking up the documentation for yourself.

    We just started testing a tool that we built to help us do PR reviews and I'm actually very into it right now. It might be the first time I've seen a useful implementation of this technology that isn't designed to replace someone's job. I think it will take time for people to find out where this kind of technology works and where it doesn't.

        As a tool for actual people, LLM's have a lot of positive potential.
