Literally just mainlining marketing material straight into whatever’s left of their rotting brains.

    But disliking LLM hype waves or doubting the imminence of AGI and/or the Singularity™ makes you a Luddite that believes in magic and fairy dust. smuglord

      That is, if someone treat it as binary “either eat elon shit or take the clogs in your hands” problem. Actually dismissing or rejecting it entirely is literally a neoludditism, though admittedly the problem is of lesser magnitude than the original one since it’s more of a escalation than entire new quality, but it won’t go away, the world will have to live with it.

        I can disbelieve the extraordinary claims of how sentient/sapient the treat printers are becoming (and mocking the misanthropic pop-nihilistic reductionistic “meat computer” prattling from euphoric computer touchers) while also acknowledging that the technology is advancing rapidly in what it is specialized to do, which unfortunately is mostly going to fuck people over because capitalism.

          I see a lot of potential there for the proletariat, but at the minimum, in capitalism, it would require some really free and accessible tool.

            in capitalism, it would require some really free and accessible tool.

            As with other previous technological advances, it may actually be somewhat accessible until it isn’t. Enshittification is a very real process, and as far as LLMs go, the “free and accessible” period is already upon us, and it’s already not looking that great for the proletariat and the grip will tighten against them.

              Only it’s not the “free and accessible” period now that was for like 3 months, we are already on “until it isn’t” time where the free ones don’t really work anymore and you need to register for everything and any useful usage require payment.
