Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

I think AI tools have (and will have) their uses, but AI as a whole has been hyped up so much for so long now that the bubble is bound to burst sooner or later.
And when it does, hopefully we can go back to not having AI shoved into every fucking thing imaginable...
No I don't want an AI on my phone or computer trawling through all my data for you, just to give me some handy search feature I almost certainly won't use.
I expect a creative destruction, like what happened with the dotcom bubble. A ton of GenAI companies will go bust and the market will be flooded with cheap GPUs and other AI hw which will be snapped on the cheap, and enthusiasts and researches will use them to make actually useful stuff.
these are compute GPUs that don't even have graphics ports
Yes, my point is that the compute from those chips can still be used. Maybe on actually useful machine learning tools that will be developed latter, or some other technology which might make use of parallel computing like this.
I'm waiting on the a100 fire sale next year
I know of at least one company that uses cuda for ray-tracing for I believe ground research, so there is definitely already some usefull things happening.
I mean there are a lot of applications for linear algebra, although I admit I don't fully know in what way "AI" uses linear algebra and what other uses overlap with it.
I might want an ai on my computer, but only if it is a local, open source model that does not report any kind of data to outside parties in any way.
If that were the case, and it was something I chose, I certainly wouldn't mind it anywhere near as much - but the ones being forced upon you by every tech company alive right now are none of those things, and are all data harvesters disguised as utilities.
not really the place to go post unrequested advertisements
The comment literally said that they might want an AI matching llama's description and so linked them to a community on the same site that is relevant to their potential desires
That's the whole goddamn point of sites like this
look I know primary-school reading comprehension isn't everyone's favourite class but it shouldn't be too hard to see the vast difference between the sentences "hmm does anyone have a link for some local llm stuff I can run on my own computers?" and "I might maybe want something like this, but defs only if it's local and generally well-behaved and doesn't snitch on me"
and no, you doing a driveby comment while completely misunderstanding context is definitely not the point of this sub. we have stackoverflow at home.
if I ever open a bar, I need to get some of those for the wall
Again: one does not need to explicitly ask for a link to something for someone to reply with a relevant one, welcome to link aggregation websites
Providing more and relevant information on a topic by pinking elsewhere on this site is actually the point of the comment section on sites like this and is very normal
you keep saying "this site" like you have exactly zero understanding of how any of this works, and on other days I would bet that's probably right. but today I've taken a great couple of photos so instead I'm just going to forget that you posted and have a beer instead
(also: lol)
Or I'm colloquially referring to Lemmy as a whole in the same manner with which we normally refer to sites that aren't federated
But stay up your own ass, you're sooooo much smarter
time for you to fuck off of “this site”
Jesus fucking Christ this thread is full of the biggest assholes I've seen all day. Bunch of fucking wankers.
amateurs
when was the last time when you've put "warcrime apologia" in modlog
hang around more LLM fans, you’ll see bigger assholes
The fact that multiple people sent you links for learning more proves it's you who can't understand it.
holy fuck. since I guess it’s the week when people wander in here and don’t understand fuck about shit:
we don’t want your stupid shit on our lemmy instance. none of us like the tech you’re in here pushing, even the openwashed version. now fuck off.
if only you knew
They are neat tools, if looked at realistically. They certainly don't deserve to be called AI. I like to call them High Coherence Media Transformers.
Considering the "hallucinations" I've seen, they're definitely high something haha
"Decepticons" is right there!
we call them autoplag(iarism) machines, much more honest
Yes, that certainly applies to the most popular ones, but not necessarily true for all instances of these technologies.
