Personally I cannot function without a backlog but each to their own for sure. I hated points and never appreciated scrum boards that much.

This is partially why even as an AI enthusiastic person I found the idea of agentic LLM-based AIs dreadful, and to some extend a dead end.
You put it into words much better than I ever could have, so thanks! Hugely appreciated.

In Fallout 1, I lost my gun to the first rat(?) at the vault entrance.
Frankly, I noped the fuck out on the spot, but I presume this is what OP's been craving.

And shaking off all those results as being paid off, whether paranoid or justified, is just too cynical for me. I'm not that type of personality, mostly; plus, I do always believe finding *at least a little* useful key takeaways.
That said, I'm also not sure solving math quizes are a good measure.

I've heard these arguments but not 100% convinced about any. As a starter it's not immediately obvious what are good criteria. I find scientific data retrieval quite accurate, while others don't. I argue LLMs fundamental workings are applicable to it, others foam in the mouth fearing hallucinations.

Oh yes, most definitely they can't.
Just bit of a disappointment because I won't touch the hobby-Taliban newfound-birdsite ever again, and most other social media are even more deplorable.
So I'm clinging my hope to Reddit and Bluesky at finding diamonds in the rough, but... it's rough indeed.

I unironically wish i could see a properly reproducible experiment and a scientific(ally rigorous) paper about it.
There are vastly massive spread and many factors to play in it; in personal use, I've barely encountered confident bullshit.
I swear it feels like watching to different movies.

Ah, okay then. Those are fair points.
I'll be curious to see how it unfolds.
Eventually I'll be ready to any compromise that keeps me in accessible reach to a useful LLM.
I just posted here because apparently ~80% of Bluesky is not open even for that compromise, and I'm not a fan of the attitude.

Economically speaking a correction is inevitable. None of the big players are going to find good use of the capacity and money they are pouring into it.
That said, I cant see LLMs going anywhere. Some use cases regarding information retrieval is stellar+open-source models keep it alive indefinitely

The point being: those companies are indeed moving in a dead end with pushing image (and video) generation; those effort could have been put into extra R&D on alternate neural models because the limits of LLMs are concerningly approaching.

Oh yes, most certainly.
Though usually I'd argue how much "preexisting IPs" are within the end result, but that requires a deep and serious professional dialogue (full of emotional landmines) I may not be equipped for.
I would very gladly get rid of image generation if it opens up better venues

I have to admit, I haven't given much thought to it yet, but it's mostly because I'm largely skeptical about the effectiveness of tax increase as a motivating factor (including side effects). I'm not against them, but tax evasion is endemic for these companies, especially in the US.

So of course I agree all pollution is bad and technically much of what's generated via LLMs go to shitty memes, lazy corporate emails, exploits/scams and other forgettable content.
But I see very serious value in the rest, and there is no fair way to discriminate between these uses.

My very core issue is that the pollution argument against AI seems to shift focus while being disingenious and morally misplaced at the same time.
Most people using it simultaneously argue LLMs fail in most/every aspect and demand a complete dissolution.
I can't sit with that, shutting my mouth./1

The only part I can genuinely agree is that I've tried utilizing AI art and I cannot hide my disappointment in the degree at which I could not.
That said, I had a vastly opposite experience in text. I largely attribute it to personal usage methodology (or *maybe* talent, but I refrain from egoism)

The fundamental difference is in the choice to do drugs vs the choice to use LLMs. The two situations are not comparable.
I admit Im not philosophically cultued enough to say whether or not "all choices are made equal" but personally I do see significantly less harm in using an LLM than doing drugs

Most who claim it’s useless don’t really do any of this, sometimes because they can’t, sometimes laziness, sometimes just obliviousness to the idea that the tech is designed to iterate on a task instead of one-shot any question or instruction.
