I’d argue, that it sometimes adds complexity to an already fragile system. Like when we implement touchscreens instead of buttons in cars. It’s akin to how Tesla, unlike Waymo, dropped LIDAR to depend on regular videoinputs alone. Direct control over systems without unreliable interfaces, semantic translation layer, computer vision dependancy etc serves the same tasks without additional risks and computational overheads.

LLM is what usually sold as AI nowadays. Convential ML is boring and too normal, not as exciting as a thing that processes your words and gives some responses, almost as if it’s sentient. Nvidia couldn’t come to it’s current capitalization if we defaulted to useful models that can speed up technical process after some fine tuning by data scientists, like shaving off another 0.1% on Kaggle or IRL in a classification task. It usually causes big but still incremental changes. What is sold as AI and in what quality it fits into your original comment as a lifesaver is nothing short of reinvention of one’s workplace or completely replacing the worker. That’s hardly hapening anytime soon.

If we actually want to maintain our standard of living and reduce the population size, we may very well need AI automation utilities. They can keep scaling down in size and power consumption in the way that a real human can’t.

Theoreticisizing LLM’s usefulness and resourcefulness doesn’t help you there. For now they are rather useless embaracingly inefficient resoucehogs existing purely because of the bubble. It’s a gamble at best, or a waste of resources and a degradation of human workforce at worst.

Drunktexting and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

The main point why I wrote it was that I don’t find them either bots or artifical influencers. They do probably want to have some reach or fresh blood, but don’t want their local culture to be spread too thin like it’s reddit 2.0. They are anything but cancer that I’ve met seeing real botfaming ops.

And, although I don’t share many of their thoughts, most of the posts I see in my feed discuss common issues where we aren’t that far from each other. Closer, than to maga/zionist/z-crowd. And in that context I find it alright to not draw any lines and just talk.

When things start to get overly political, well, that’s a whole another thing, where different bestest solutions are incompatible, historical betrayals are dugged up and the internet infighting ensues. It’s exhausting and pointless with just 2mil mostly irrelevant nerds on Fediverse. It’s easier to just scroll through some amuzing takes, and instead focus on things where we can cooperate.

You’ve ignored whatever I said to drop a one-line generalized response, not an organic one, and didn’t elaborate why it relates to what I said.

Isn’t that a behavior of a useful tool you alert others against? I don’t assume you are one. But I get some vibes you don’t act in a good faith there.

There are obviously agents from elsewhere, and some of them may be pretty effective, but it’s nothing compared to Trump and Co getting money from the likes of Saudis and acting like they own the place. If the main concern is american politics, well, the real worms aren’t theoretical or real foreign enemies, but corrupted fuckheads that ignore human, state rights, shutdown government, pack people from the streets to deport. No enemy could’ve done such damage so-called friends are doing.

I wouldn’t call them that. Most if not all of them are genuine people with some having accs for many years before Reddit crossed the line for most of us and them becoming anyhow relevant to interfere. In a recent hexbearean post about fediverse negativity I’ve read a couple of opinions with a notion that federating with others wasn’t that great, and they were pretty happy just by themselves. I assume, it’s the same for other two too. That’s a game too long and effortful to be a psyop imho. Their positions and where they get their info are things to argue, but let’s not get as far as dehumanizing them.

Almost everywhere I soundly proclaim that I am a russian dummy anarchist, that I live in that state for I have no options, and I angrily disagree with their fascination, mystification of what it is, I hold a grudge with anyone who wants that russki mir to be the model the whole world should share.

I, nevertheless, find a lot of points, like personal stuff and grieveancies, theoretical things, sympathy to protesters, to Gazan survivors that I share with them. Unlike transparently racist/fascist troll comms that were there, unlike their campaigns I’ve noticed, there is a huge population of real people worthy of talking, arguing with.

Call me any names and ban me, but as long as any person or community is supportive of basic pillar causes like body autonomy, you, like, can at least talk to them and find something in common.

What I missed though, is that Diva said the same, but misleadingly doubted the existence of russian bot networks. Them and state suppression ruined the rusophonic space to that degree I dropped it altogether. I don’t know how their actions affected other countries, but as a nolifer shitposting addict trying to trust them just a bit, I came through fire, water and copper tubes before dropping them altogether. They are like current Twitter, but worse. And, well, fuck, I wasn’t abandoning that to find the next option already corrupted.

That test sounds like a model trainroad but for billionaires.
