I remember installing the leaked 6801 build on my laptop and using that as my daily for schoolwork. After that, I installed and used every leaked build right up to release.

God damnit

I have an image in my head of someone being forced to build a shed before playing a game, getting frustrated, and giving up

He put pepper on the macaroni, he truly went all-out

I think it's still murky as far as AI generated code goes. (IIRC You can't, but not sure enough to say so authoritatively)

But code historically has been very copyright-able. Oracle's business model was mostly buying companies and then suing people for infringing on their newly-acquired IP.

Slop games have always been a problem on Steam. I can't remember who it was since it was forever ago, but I used to watch a YouTuber who would "review" the shovel-ware that would show up on Steam. That being said, LLMs sure make putting out slop so much easier. The skill floor for creating garbage is even lower than it was before, which is definitely a problem that needs to be addressed.

What all these AI heavy devs don't understand (or care about?) is that I don't need you as a proxy for the AI. If it keeps improving in the way they hope and expect, you will eventually be able to type "build me an app" and it will just do it.

That sounds great on paper until you realize that you either need A: a subscription to a Big Tech company who is on record saying they want to put human knowledge on a meter, or B: Access to hardware that is priced out of reach for many people (due to the actions of big tech) if you want a useful, performant, local model.

LLM tech is neat if you look at it in a vacuum. But you CANNOT do that in the real world. Most of the force behind the AI push is from people who want to put skill behind a pay wall they control. I cannot advocate that, even if claude can rewrite Linux in Rust perfectly. And it greatly upsets me that there are pillars of the OSS community (looking at you, Linus) who refuse to consider that because it is personally useful to them.

Unfortunately, we've been put in a situation where you're damned if you do, damned if you don't. And the blame is solely on the devs and big tech personalities who move fast, break things, and do not think about the effects of what they put into this world

We're sorry, we detected insincerity when you said "yum, that was refreshing!" For your safety, all vehicle control functions have been disabled. Please try again in 60 seconds

But have you considered that it's like REALLY good at programming? /s

If an LLM was something you could train on your GitHub repo or an internal knowledge base, and ask it natural language questions about that, AND it didn't need an 800 acre datacenter to do it, I wouldn't have so many hang-ups about it. Or maybe even train a model in a programming language and have a model that's tailor made for writing C, or LISP, or Brainfuck or something.

But that's not what they are. They only function if you hoover up everything the light touches and feed it to the machine, to the point where rare, irreplaceable literature is being shredded apart for training data. And god help you if you try to take your ball and go play somewhere else as the AI boosters profess you must do, they will follow you there and scrape you anyway

My car keeps saying "time for a McDonald's break!" and pulling into the drive-through. I've been here for five hours, please send help!

Must've been such a deer in the headlights moment for him. He didn't even do what Republicans do best and lie

Yeah, if by "rouge" you mean purposely taking guide rails off a model, giving it access to hacking tools, instructing it to hack, auto-approving everything the LLM does, and letting it run with no human oversight for long periods of time

There is plenty of opportunity for OpenAI, Anthropic, et. al to take a step back and think about what they're doing before dropping the brick on the accelerator. IDK how they're not on the hook for any of this.

Surely, these small business owners won't throw a fit when consumers choose Amazon over their shop. After all, it's cheaper and more convenient, right?

Piggybacking off of you since I'm also American.
