The world probably ended September 9, 1999 at 09:09:09. At least that makes more sense than this timeline. Ranting from the Reduit.
Luci Bitchface AngerfootSee normally when an algorithm requires The Entire Global Supply Of Ram, a software engineer would consider that not a good algorithm, and would try and make a better one instead of optimising the entire planet for paperclip manufacturing.
Unfortunately we accidentally gave a bad software engineer too much money
Eugen RochkoFrom what I've observed, people who claim that LLMs can replace artists don't understand art, people who claim that they can replace musicians don't understand music, people who claim that they can replace writers don't understand literature, and people who claim they can replace translators don't rely on translations. If I had a button that would erase LLMs from the world but it would take machine translations away (which is a false dichotomy anyway), I would absolutely still press it.

Amo Bishop RodentFar too many of you have never been momentarily impressed by a Markov Chain before quickly realising what it's doing, and it shows
@scy @tante @knud That’s highly dependent on jurisdiction, especially since most of them don’t make PD releases easy. See the CC0 primer on this. https://creativecommons.org/public-domain/cc0/
My understanding is that if you put something out with an invalid license (such as missing authorship), you’d likely loose any infringement case you’d bring against another party.
The original author has no recourse against your use of the work if you don’t infringe other rights of theirs outside copyright.

Pseudo NymIf you replace a junior with #LLM and make the senior review output, the reviewer is now scanning for rare but catastrophic errors scattered across a much larger output surface due to LLM "productivity."
That's a cognitively brutal task.
Humans are terrible at sustained vigilance for rare events in high-volume streams. Aviation, nuclear, radiology all have extensive literature on exactly this failure mode.
I propose any productivity gains will be consumed by false negative review failures.

This is a great illustration about the state of the art in "AI": People with access to inconceivable resources running massively expensive, dangerous code on anyone's data (sometimes even their own) with no regards for basic security or quality standards and practices.
The discipline of software engineering has never been great at establishing and following those kinds of practices but "AI" has thrown us back decades. And we'll suffer the drop in software quality and security for a long time.
David Gerardblockchain failed to make the right promise, which was telling rich guys they could fire everyone
if they'd offered that it would have been hyped like AI is
structurally the blockchain hype and the AI hype are The Fucking Same
even before you get to it being Literally The Same Fucking Guys
blockchain's promise is obscure and you basically have to be most of an ancap to fall for it
AI, you just need to be one-shotted by the bot giving an amazing result once
blockchain is fuckin unusable for normal people. AI is fatally usable.
