Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.
- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

MODERATORS
AI is good at a few things that have real world value. It recently dropped 200+ mathematical proofs that are real and genuine but are the lowest hanging fruit - they're the least creative unsolved problems in maths (now solved), ones that could be solved with enough time and work. Not a proof of intelligence, just a proof of computational power/duration.
That sort of large "solution space" exploration is stuff mathematicians might not have the time/patience for, but LLMs can do.
Likewise, producing content faster than humans can is another thing LLMs are really good at, with some reports already saying upwards of 50% of new content posted to the Internet is now LLM generated (dead internet theory).

LLMs have also recently taken over game development, and gotten to the point that they're making full 3D scenes, and even videogames.
...and if you haven't heard, a team recently duplicated the Adobe Creative Suite of programs in about a week. Vibe coding in Rust with lots of Claude Opus.
Yep, it looks like "AI" is here to stay.
The biggest concerns are probably: it being able to "flood the zone" of content pushing certain ideas/narratives. Either from tech billionaire fascists, or foreign influnce campaigns.
So determining, monitoring, and countering any biases from that is probably going to be a huge challenge.
For the AI bubble it doesn't really matter if AI is good at a few things as long as they are bleeding money at an unprecedented rate.
Expenditure is still over ten times industry revenue and it doesn't seem to change in the near future. The only one making any money is nvidia with their chips.
As for the supposed things they are good at, that's a whole other story:
Half these mathematical proofs are pretty much stolen from different researchers. Ive seen an article were the ai copied the intro of a draft one for one and now openAI tries to claim ownership. The other half could be utter bullshitt since they aren't verified right now. That whole thing is essentially a publicity stunt without much substance until everything is cleared up.
While AI is much faster at producing content than humans, purely ai generated contend is still shit. It probably is great for radio pop/country music and Hollywood films since they follow a very predictive standard, but everything that isn't hot garbage from the get go needs human input. The main use of the created content right now seems yo be deception and missinfromation, which is great for some people but a really bad thing to base an entire industry on.
As for all the "decompilation" projects going on right now, they essentially copy past the UI and then vibe code the rest. That's neither reverse engeering nor decompiling, that's just a copyright lawsuit waiting to happen. Instead of putting effort into open source projects these projects try to steal everything (as AIs do) and end up with a somewhat functional product that has questionable stability, unknown security holes and a codebase that can never be expanded on cause no one understands it while simultaneously being a legal nightmare to work with since its a copyright infringement and has no applicable license.
I agree that its sadly here to stay, but none of its current capabilities could reasonably support the AI bubble.
The question is, can i defend having billions in data center hardware that i can't turn on and might not be in demand when i can? Will people be running efficient local models instead of paying for my spyware riddled software as a service?
