Hating a concept because you never knew the definition. This reminds me of the countless MAGA zealots on medicaid who said "I hate Obamacare", not making the mental connection that for many of them, medicaid had been expanded to include them by an evil, woke, communist plot called the affordable care act...

I've seen this one before. It's obvious to me that they know exactly what they're doing. They're trolling, and they know it, and they revel in the power they have to manipulate so many people into being this ignorant. #AbuseCulture
This sort of misunderstanding is nothing new: when "Obamacare" was going through congress, some people were very mad about it because they didn't want the government getting involved in Medicare (they didn't realize that Medicare is a government program).
This has to be satire or someone trolling an anti-vaxxer. I can't believe that some who is able describe the very functioning of a vaccine fails so disastrously in identifying one when being confronted with it.

BTW y'all seem to have missed that also the original Hyperloop has already been realized all over the world, but with a twist: ins…
Too long strange silence of the angel wing vibrates ancestral memories of the stream that floods the plain one hundred million years till wingless angel of the aching heart explores along the winding river shore and picks up gleaming emerald of her eye.
Alone on grassy plain of floating stars, she sings the ancient memory of our genes that fuels her endless journey to the moon which always gleams above the distant hills and lures her to the land of apple trees beyond horizon of the wordless wind.
The child who feels vibration of the rain throb deep in crystal bones of honesty knows why she is herself and no one else in all the history of the universe, for she collects the masks of long-dead gods to hang on trunks of trees as ticking clocks.
Long curly hair swirls randomly in wind as she walks slowly toward demonic light that glimmers weirdly on the giant stone which wavers proudly in her aching heart till she arrives at edge of nothingness to

Long curly hair swirls randomly in wind as she walks slowly toward demonic light that glimmers weirdly on the giant stone which wavers proudly in her aching heart till she arrives at edge of nothingness to touch the solid coldness of the world.
What name of energetic faith in dirt she breathes with vibrant passion of her tongue defines complete expansiveness of self wrapped whole in secret warmth of fantasy which she decides must designate the face who looks at her from shimmer of the pool.
Through misdirection of the twisted branch that points beyond vast whyness of the sky she feels soft hand of love enclose her heart with gentle protest of the lonesome guard who feels complete when she stays by his side while glimmer of the sun binds their hearts firm.
Expressing vision glowing in her eyes with vibrant words that slither from her tongue, she tells him why their hearts connect in love because we calculate our destiny through each decision our hearts choose to make when we seek wholeness of our secret self.
Assembled concepts of the fractured world complete whole puzzle of their separate hearts when they hold hands and walk in silent wind to blaze the trail long signless in the sun where we now drive our cars on asphalt road that takes us round in loops of strict routine.
If there was a god, she/he woulda given the racist, orange criminal, narcasist aggressive prostate cancer not the life-long, practicing Catholic, gentle soul that is Joe Biden. I *hate* this timeline.
I’m responding because I’d be a hypocrite if I didn’t: I hate statements like this. I do. But I caught myself nodding — literally, actually — and said yep! And then shook myself out of it.
But you said it to the universe and so I had to say this. What a shitty reality.
@godofbiscuits I swear. Orange menace survived COVID, an assassination attempt and only knows what else and Biden is diagnosed with cancer?! I swear we are all being tested or something. There’s no justice left in this world.

UPDATE: Lucy has been found alive and relatively ok. Thank you all for your help with sharing the message! 🩷💜
Original text: This is my friend Lucy who is currently missing in Wellington Pōneke. She is vulnerable, low on resources, and may be experiencing paranoia and disordered thinking so if you see her please be gentle and straightforward. Her mother is now nearby and can come to wherever.
@KingSara thank you! She is a survivor and she wants to live and she sometimes understands that she needs help, so the chances are really good that this will be resolved with a minimum of harm. 🙏

I appreciate yout honestly but you aren't going to find hardly anyone on Lemmy who wants to read anything made by generative AI. People have a strong negative reaction to it. As someone who tried to give AI an honest chance, I found it less than useless for even the most basic tasks. It often has no idea what I'm talking about or when it does it just makes shit up. It's good for laughs though, I had it write a script for a sequel to the 2008 film Speed Racer. That was funny to read lol.
Have to ask what you used it for for it to be “less than useless” as that seems mighty biased or hyperbolic.
I’m a software developer and work for a tiny company of 7 employees including the owner engineers.
We use LLMs everyday and the time it has saved us in real world numbers is massive to say the least.
It was enough that we all got pay rises and a reduction of hours from 37.5 to 33 per week.
It ain’t doing our jobs for us but to say it is useless is ridiculous and shows the clear bias of Lemmy on this subject matter. It’s a kin to saying a calculator is useless in making an accountable faster at their job.
I like this place but at this point it is nothing more than an echo chamber akin to the Donald where discussion is not encouraged for dissenting opinions and it’s just a circle jerk of everybody feeling superior without any intention of making the world a better place.
Ironic user name for a vibe coder. Do you guys have an estimate for the rate of technical debt and vulnerabilities introduced or is that secondary to "getting it done"?
Vulnerabilities is going to be the same as before as it’s not like we just vibe code the whole thing. It’s akin to Intellisense on steroids.
As an example we have pretty well defined coding standards and so there is a lot of repetition in how we make calls from Typescript -> GraphQL -> C#. And the fact that CoPilot learns from our code base and then learns how we do thing.
Why do I want to write the same mutations or queries every time when it’s the same, when LLMs can do it and we can solve NEW problems not the same one over and over.
Technical debt is certainly down, because take me as recently promoted from Junior to Dev and my bosses hourly consulting rate would be £1000-2000 an hour then me asking less questions saves him a lot of time to actually do the higher level stuff.
I find it interesting how you would question that my boss, literally the smartest person I’ve ever met in my life wouldn’t have done risk assessments and made a value judgement. After all we get paid more now for less work.
We don

We don’t just get things done and we go above and beyond for clients. If we quote £50k for an application and we expect it to take 6 months and the client is still refining 12 months later then we do what is right by the client and don’t charge more.
We have local councils, one of the largest phone providers in the Uk, and other massive clients that always come back for repeat business and recommending us to other people. We do not advertise and we are not short of work.
I have to wonder how many of these people saying LLMs are useless in this context actually earn money coding and how many just rant about it because it’s the trend here.

I never want to hear what ChatGPT says, because ChatGPT is a purpose-built bullshit machine. I would rather you leave a comment posting my debit card number than leave hot stinky garbage like this.
Maybe you could use your own bony tentacles to add something useful to the thread, instead of shitting on people who have the temerity to use a different approach to actually contribute some useful information.
I'm not too fond of calling this a 'tax'. Tax money goes to funding actually useful things. Conservatives want you to think that giving money to the government and throwing it down the toilet are the same thing.
Yk, this is the ONE time living in the ass end of nowhere has been good for my wallet.
I've wanted to paint minis for a while now, and the one mini I got is a small blueberry I haven't even painted because I'd need to buy the tools and paints, which aren't sold here.
If I were stateside I'd be drowning in orc and salamander minis. Or more likely yet, primed but not painted, and tossed aside like half the hobbies I pick up until the moment I got the jist of what its about.

Right? "Forgetting things" is one thing...but whenever I have a home project I spend more time looking for my hammer multiple times than I do actually working. As an example.
Yeah everyone forgets things but how many people have ever had their car repossessed while also having enough money to pay off the whole loan because the crappy bank that gave the best interest rate doesn't have a convenient autopay system?
I don't think people are thinking of absolution when they recognize these kinds of things are part of their disorder. It's commiserating with your fellow sufferers on the absurd, counterintuitive, and inconsistent nature of the damn thing.
AI trains using AI generated articles on repeat. Have you seen what happens to a YouTube video when you download and reupload a video over and over again?
Brains are machines like AI, trained by other machines, generating content based on content we've been trained on. It's hubris to pretend we're anything else.
You're falling victim to comparing the most our brains to the current most advanced technology. People used to say the brain is like a clock, with their tiny individual gears all working together to produce a result. Then computer came along with all their wiring and gasp long term and short term memory, just like a brain! Now we're at neural nets, surely that is what a brain is, it's right in the name! But no, a neural net is inspired by our brains neurons, it is wrong to think our brains are anything like a neural net.
Besides, even if we go with our brains being just like an NN, a brain only fed brain rot, will only likely produce brain rot.
Pfffft. Not far enough. You have to go back to 2015 to even find articles that aren't shitty lists or repeating the 'target' word 15 times for SEO. AI has only sped up the ability to generate shit.
That's always kind of bothered me about the whole generative AI thingamabob. Why are we generating things and storing them, when the ability to generate more of it is right there?
I mean, I know in lots of cases the output is extremely flaky, so it's not as easy to just generate the same thing again, but yeah, it still feels kind of backwards...
Some search queues return me pages of word-to-word copypastes of one 'original' AI gen article. On top of existing power-googling, you need not to include words that are particularly popular in slop. It brought a need to rewrite a queue a couple of times before it gets to the point.
They learnt on the worst examples of SEO, and then intertwined with it.
It depends, that's why I said it requires reruns with some slight modifications. When I was looking for a FOSS or at least Linux-friendly software for some live video visuals manipulation, VJ and everything with 'video' triggered a wave of slop, but 'projecting software' lead me to a rabit hole of actual list of choices, albeit most of them were paid, proprietary and Windows only.
It's counter to my previous expirience of including certain words to narrow the search: now I watch for what keywords bring most AI articles and drop\change them.
Fair enough. My email signature used to include a sentence that included words like "bloody" and "slaughter" since gmail didn't advertise alongside notifications of a tragedy. I doubt they're so conscientious these days, though.
And just imagine how much AI slop is being generated every day, and the output is increasing exponentially. It can be very long until the AI slop has completely drowned the human produced part of the internet. A lot of vested interests would be very happy with a situation where you can't trust facts and information.
Manual curation of trusted sources will become the norm again, like it was before the big search engines crawled everything; And search engines will become useless.

Yes, sounds like a good idea.
Sabin vs. Salk. Maybe we tell them who of them was from Russia. Should build up trust.

in reply to George Takei 🏳️🌈🖖🏽 • • •But this is also one the deepest lessons of #conservatism you can randomly get.
The whole schtick isn’t the WHAT, but WHO.
Their worldview is so hierachic, it literally starts from who should be calling the shots and builds up from there.
Importantly, you see here them talking to THEMSELVES. To the out-group they’ll merely spew justifications.
That’s why they also have to invent everything from scratch. Because anything coming from WRONG people doesn’t exist.
