The only way #FOSS, #Indies, #Small, or #DownToEarth to beat #TheCloud and/or #LLM #FauxAI is by getting amazingly at designing & implementing useful #LocalFirst, #OfflineFirst tools
With proper multi-client zero-conf peer-to-peer capabilities (when it makes sense)
(With ideally mathematically proven correct BASE consistency model fit for purpose)
Tools which are absolutely *nothing* like any commercial products (nor contain monstrosities like forever-growing write-only blockchain cancers)
While I appreciate the articles about grok going full Nazi (like most chatbots have, probably for the same reason) I’d LOVE just one argument to point out the painfully obvious.
You can’t ‘unwoke’ a device that statistically generates human like statements without making it a parrot for all the worst lies and gaslighting* from the worst of us.
You can’t make an anti trans, anti climate science bot trained on all the actual data of the world. The only way to make it say those things is to make it say things waaaaaaaay worse, cause you can’t get ‘contrails are making the frogs gay’ by consuming encyclopedias or scientific journals, because obviously that data doesn’t exist.
So sorry to tell all them chuds, it’s woke LLMs or no LLMs, and if they want the latter I’ll say we for once agree.
* not to mention hallucinations that ‘dig out the data then run it through the filter of Elons feed’ is guaranteed to produce
Sunday check in on the loons over at linked in. Still 100% of posts I saw in 10 min were about ‘ai’
The new strain: one fellow is apoplectic that OpenAI are watermarking the images and now word docs it creates. He’s said it’s hurting his (couldn’t decipher what his downstream slop business does) business and we don’t watermark a painting we paint to indicate we used a paintbrush. He says beware , you might have submitted a word doc to a client that states it was written by Ai and that you should be able to sue them for tarnishing your business (like any warning sign this tells me this man just lost a client for slopping a proposal) 😂
…Apropos of nothing I’ve not seen a single post fluffing musk there in months.
Lolz. Prime blew $500 us to show how non baked Devin (a ridiculous Ai agent supposedly a ‘jr dev’) is.
Come to see how hilariously enshitified the billion dollar app is at the get go, stay to see the eye watering vulnerability the platform had till prime discovered it live on stream.
Generative Ai is dangerous and stupid, and so are all its glazers. #ai #fauxAi
I’m so tired of this #fauxAi bullshit.
Not that I have time but I’m writing a paper, it’s called:
“If bitcoin is the Dutch Tulip trade, generative ‘AI’ is radium”
This is the hill I will die on.
As I sit here and continue to lament my industry’s lemmings off a cliff approach to FAUX AI EVERYWHERE NOW I realise the biggest losers are app devs.
No sensible person can now tick the ‘share data with developers’ knowing exactly where that data goes.
Techs all in on ‘A.I.’ make me want to jump out a window.
#jetbrains in the faux ‘AI’ era any org that insists on installing their ml dressed up as ai garbage is in the bin. Sad to end my decades long relationship with a once great org.
