That’s what my friends Karen and Chris told me recently. She’s a retired teacher; he’s a retired firefighter. They are a Canadian couple from Alberta who, over the past few years, have travelled the world, spent time with their family, and helped over a thousand individuals and couples build an online business that removed financial anxiety from their lives.
How did they do this? They got involved in an online business a few years ago and helped others do the same. They had a mentor to guide them from day one. But on top of that they had access to and support of other experienced people on the team. They were able to take advantage of a huge library of training resources that showed them how to get started and keep going in an effective manner. And they had the flexibility to work on their new business based on their priorities and schedules.
The results speak for themselves.

@hex@kolektiva.socialRE: https://tldr.nettime.org/@tante/116713587055769588
I was actually using LLMs a couple of years ago for text classification. Before that I pushed hard for resources to support automation. I helped build an automation team where none existed. I pushed to use transformer models to solve problems before LLMs existed. I used simple ML to make predictions and classify issues. I've been on the cutting edge for a long time.
I *should* be an early adopter of the modern LLM thing. But tech oligarchs transformed themselves into reverse ouroboros (infinitely shoving their heads up their own asses). The oligarchs never really believed that other people had free will, but I think they had been too scared to let that slip. After the lockdowns, I think they just snapped and here we are.
As much as I trash LLMs, I've had a nuanced critique for a while (wiring about this now). The lack of consent is so huge. The oligarchs have plans for us, and it doesn't involve our consent.
Under different conditions, I do actually think there could be revolutionary elements to this tech (not so much LLMs themselves as LLM MCP, and not for the things they think). But without consent, I think (and hope) the friction will overcome the momentum.
"AI" is already more expensive than humans. It will never be profitable as long as people resist. There are multiplying problems, and I don't see those being fixed without collective effort. I have a lot of thoughts, but "consent" (or the real or implied lack thereof) is central to so many aspects of LLMs.
The oligarchs want to force LLM tech onto all of us without our consent. Ultimately, they want to replace us all with obedient machines. The mistake they made was assuming we would be as obedient as the LLMs with which they have become so obsessed.
