      They created a machine perfectly suited to emulating the appearance of competence. Of course it naturally evolved to become the AutoSwindler9000 because no matter who you are and what you&amp;#39;re an expert in, you&amp;#39;re invariably a non-expert in many other areas, and in those areas, a competence projector that always finds a way to tell you you&amp;#39;re right is much more endearing than a real expert that tells you when you&amp;#39;re wrong.

If it looks like it works to them, it must be good enough to ship. What the LLM does is just the same kind of magic to them as real coding is and they can&amp;#39;t tell the difference. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;And that&amp;#39;s why LLMs are a favorite of incompetent business managers everywhere who want to cut expensive skill and talent out of the loop, and why all code everywhere is getting exponentially shittier.

      I&amp;#39;m looking for basic lodging options around Seattle for a week next month... prices range from $400 to $2200... *PER DAY*. What the actual fuck? Is this endgame AirBnB yet? Fucking parasites buying up houses with $4000/month mortgages and then charging people $15,000 a week to stay there.

      Not many things really make me happy anymore, but I am SO stoked for the collapse of the AI tech bubble as it is finally starting to show the cracks that the professionals in our industry have been warning about from the start. It feels so imminent now it&amp;#39;s palpable. Time to start stocking up on popcorn.

      This is your reminder that Generative Large Language Models are not Artificial Intelligence no matter how much the techbro grifters try and market it as &amp;#34;AI&amp;#34;. It is not. It never will be. It does not think. It does not problem solve. It does not have any awareness or understanding of anything you tell it, nor does it find or design solutions. It Generates. It only Generates. It&amp;#39;s Noise. Slop. Trash. Meaningless. This whole bubble hinges on misunderstanding and misrepresentation of the tech.

      It&amp;#39;s somewhat telling that virtually all far future hard scifi / speculative fiction (excepting the most grimdark) written this century involves intervention by aliens to explain how humanity made it to the stars.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Deus ab alieno: because our species is too dumb to live.

In most cases the device was still fully functional, just some flaw or imperfection in its operation which could be overlooked. If they sent me a new one, I&amp;#39;d give the old repaired one to a friend or family member.

Not by compounding cost and complexity, but by expanding knowledge and ingenuity, and elegance of engineering. There shouldn&amp;#39;t *have* to be a middleman gatekeeping every solution and asking for capital in exchange. We should build things up to help and improve ourselves and each other, not to grift and exploit for personal gain. Make solutions, not more problems.

No tech is free. No tech comes without downsides. Under capitalism, you will pay for it, and it will cost just as much or more than it did when you did without it. And thus complexity grows and grows, but things never improve.

Maybe the technology to do it is just outside your own reach, or maybe it&amp;#39;s some futuristic scifi bullshit, but in all cases the tech you want is tech that solves a problem for you, and you wish someone with the means and resources or smarts could build it for you to make your life easier. Maybe you go into tech because you want to be the one building it, but somehow it never changes.

      I went to work in tech because I wanted to use human ingenuity to solve problems and make regular life for regular people easier. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The longer I spend working in tech, the more I want to just burn it all down and go back to working the land with my bare hands. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;If this is the cost of progress, then it&amp;#39;s not worth the cost.

Once I started paying attention to and participating in politics, it became clear that this was a feature, not a bug.

I don&amp;#39;t expect we&amp;#39;ll make it much further, myself, but the energy requirements to change the orbital period of a planet by any fraction of an AU are sufficiently high I can&amp;#39;t imagine us actually using that energy for that even if we did somehow harness it in the first place. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The reaction mass alone, even in terms of fusion power, is bigger than anything we&amp;#39;ve built before.

I&amp;#39;ve looked at the design of many more expensive units and always found concerning flaws in their implementation of things like UV sterilization (leakage damaging to cats eyes)

      If anyone knows anyone who is in dire straits and needs a free laptop or is asking for mutual aid to afford one right now please direct them to DM me.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I have extra hardware available and am willing to ship it to people in need. They&amp;#39;re a few years old but have decent specs (not for gaming) and support TPM2 for Win11. Windows 10/11 license included; I can install Windows or Linux on it for you if you want.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Boosts welcome. I will edit the post if they are no longer available.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Hack the planet!

      People using the following unambiguously positive / good things as pejoratives really tells you all you need to know about them:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;* Diversity / DEI&lt;br/&gt;* &amp;#34;woke&amp;#34;&lt;br/&gt;* empathy (can&amp;#39;t believe this is making the list now..)&lt;br/&gt;* progressive&lt;br/&gt;* equality&lt;br/&gt;* anti-fascist / antifa&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;If someone makes a quip about one of these things, don&amp;#39;t let it slide. Call them out on it. Words matter.
