Tbh, I thought you were the one that was being condescending from the start. Apologies. I do come off as arrogant, but only when provoked haha

It's wild to me that other countries can see this happening and not immediately begin dumping US tech. If they can do to your email, they can do it to literally anything else they want

Yeah. And the thing that people are completely ignoring is that humans are absolutely not infallible either. This is why we're seeing so many vulnerabilities pop up now, because the work performed by humans over the last many decades is being picked apart by a relentless onslaught of automated calculation and critique by these LLMs.

I can see the passion a lot of programmers have for what they do and it reminds me of how artists feel when people try to produce art with an LLM. I hope the future brings a reasonable balance where programmers can actually use LLMs to advance their efforts instead of being replaced by it. There are some things that are just mindless brute-force effort and at the very least, hopefully that bit goes away and leaves programmers (and the rest of the world's technical workforce) with the ability to exercise creativity instead of doing the annoying parts all day.

They doesn't understand, ladies and gentlemen. They can't help it, probably. Surely the ignorance isn't intentional lmao

It's not up for debate. I'm literally telling you how people are perceiving your response. It's not something you can disagree with. Just because you can't understand that other people are reading you differently doesn't allow you to give it a "no thank you" hahaha

I think the truth is somewhere in the middle, but I could be wrong. I work in a non-programming technical field and I am also impressed and concerned by the progress the models have made over the last few years, especially in terms of being able to "do my job".

Like the other guy was saying, there are still issues with its implementations, and the second you begin to think it's perfect or immutable, you notice issues that would have been show stoppers if they made it through. And at the end of the day, at least for what I do, if nobody is here to press the buttons, the AI will never be able to do its thing to begin with.

I also personally predict that the cost of tokens and utilizing AI services will eventually become overly expensive and encumbered, as does everything under capitalism. Name one thing that hasn't gotten shittier and more expensive overall. The AI companies haven't even begun to enter their enshittification stage yet.

I maintain that AI in its current form will NOT be able to produce truly novel thought or original work, as it can only put together the Legos that it already has ingested. Perhaps grunt work programming will require less manpower, but cutting-edge developments are still beyond the LLM's grasp at the moment.

Anyways, I welcome other opinions

You basically did tho lol

People are acting like this is not the "normal" cost of diesel.. I see this as the "normal" cost of allowing your country to become reliant upon an energy source that is so susceptible to the swings of global economic influence. Just embrace the damn solar panels, wind turbines, and electricity. Not to mention the real cause, which is this mistaken belief that it's easy or responsible to pull power trips in the middle east.

Apparently they do -not- have a Need for Speed

This was literally my first thought. You'd basically have to go through every one of the millions of components across every square inch to verify there was nothing sketchy going on. Not to mention, you'd have to review all of the software and firmware to make sure it wasn't modified or sabotaged in some way. It would take an excruciating amount of effort to make it "safe".

"They were supposed to cut the things that I didn't think were important, even though other people thought they were important. They were not supposed to cut the things that I thought were important, even though other people didn't think they were important." Lmao!

I knew the concentration camps were coming, but just after ten days? Holy shit
