is it a rant if you’re just stating facts?

big oil’s about to start yet another denialism campaigh

bummer… not. Microslop crusade against FOSS backfires more and more. i think these guys should fight it even harder.

the more i know about LLM and their numerous issues the less enthusiastic i am about this whole current AI thing.

i don’t think vibe coding will be that sophisticated any time soon.

i guess a better way is just make something less RAM heavy from the get go.

ok. is it even remotely more cost-effective than doing the old-fashioned optimizing?

and yet tech bros scrape it for model training and content research. i used to like AskPhilosophy and the likes back when it wasn’t wackjob agora for clinically insane (a decade ago in not more?) but seeing that shit getting mined is baffling because it is basically a deliberate data contamination.

Reddit should crack down on human users instead! Let Reddit be AI Bot Exclusive space!

is it even possible to vibe code efficient memory use properly?

Who knew?

“more will come”. never underestimate hungry star eyed folks. Look at Grammarly - they’ve been throwing people on the streets for the last three years showing zero loyalty to longterm employees and then replacing them with cheaper newbies over and over. And that after hoarding literally any NLP talent to make competition non-existent - so for NLP folks in Ukraine it means they have nowhere to go outside of military sector which is its own can of worms. Meanwhile Grammarly just keeps on pivoting to AI coding then hiring folks to clean the mess to pivot again.

the funny thing is that by all accounts replacing programmers with AI leads to hiring programmers back to fix AI mess.

respect for the real one.

it just makes sense, eh?

Newsrooms are strapped because media economy is nonfunctional and is not even designed to be self-sustainable in current economy and it is deeply future-vulnerable. And that’s media managers like Rinehart fault.

no matter how hard they try - it is still slop and it is called like that for a reason

its a governance problem or if being specific unwillingness to govern that takes the economy into these deep waters. But what else we can expect when the government is in the big tech’s pocket

It is one of the better tech news sites out there. Their newsletter is very good and got these silly headlines that never fail to crack me up.

every time someone tries to put the economy on lock they end pushing the formation of an alternative system outside of their control.
