It’s actually good and proper to dogpile on people when there’s literally lives at stake.

2026 NFL schedule might include rare Wednesday game, possible Thanksgiving Eve matchup

Ah this is the where that evil company who wants to do space mirrors to reflect sunlight back to Earth got their idea from

This would include fascinating topics like “fully read a social media post before replying” and “question the ultimate agendas of media outlets, corporate public relations departments and of governments”.

Essentially the last 15 years were spent on adding oodles of code to make thin clients into thick clients for absolutely no reason and now it’s “whoopies”
are you fucking kidding me

It’s amazing how many people feel the urge to reply to this when I didn’t ask for help with anything whatsoever with irrelevant and frankly bad takes like “just buy real books!”

“But you can still read your existing books! And jailbreak it to upload more!”
Imagine having a car that the manufacturer one day just declares that you can’t put gas in anymore.
To get gas you’d have to cut a hole into your car so you can sneak some in bypassing the inlet. But you can’t go to real gas stations anymore so you have to get gas in a back alley from some random guy.

And even for the most optimal of use cases, code generation, which gives an LLM every possible advantage (huge amounts of self-similar training data with millions of iterations of the same problems and solutions, strictly deterministic symbol sequences in highly simplified languages), LLMs are starting to approach local maxima; they’re even regressing when context windows get too large (so more capable hardware doesn’t help).
I still strongly believe that they’re useless for 99% of tasks they’re marketed for and for the rest (like coding) there will be locally run solutions that are affordable.
