They do that’s so amazing. Just vague slogans and generalities “it’s my vibecoding thought partner/therapist/editor” 😅
Seems like a LOT of money for that. But I’m not some SV genius so what do I know ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Can’t wait to watch people breathlessly tell me that this is where we see LLMs take a ton of jobs. It’s weird that we’ve been sold on a thing that will someday happen…probably™ and they still can’t do anything that would remotely justify the costs. And the booster club can’t ever tell you *what*

It’s SV. I’d be more surprised if they don’t. Though how dependent the stock market is on “AI” and growth is dependent on data center buildouts, we might be in for major economic pain.
And yet, our markets have grown at roughly half the rate of other peer nations. But we’re “the hottest” country.

Thinkpad now costing $1400.

Eventually the delusion breaks I think. I figured it would have by now as we see really really diminishing returns and still no evidence these companies can make money but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Say stuff like this because
1) it makes no sense
2) it’s incorrect

The best use I’ve found is “I’m trying to find out something but I don’t know what it’s called” and then I use a search engine once I do. And even then it’s hard to say it’s worth the massive cost. Like my $400 memory kit for my

Yeah it reminds me of when I worked in the hospital and we’d have people doing “word salad” because they weren’t taking medication.
I get it, we are incredibly susceptible to personifying things, especially when they present a reasonable facsimile of human speech. But it’s weird to watch people

And meanwhile we have people saying this:

It’s impressive how much energy they use and how they are able to convince those who are desperate to believe that they’re sentient or will be.

It drives me crazy too. I feel like there are genuinely useful applications for transformers but.. LLMs aren’t it

I’m always underwhelmed. For super simple shit that’s annoying like writing regex it’s fine but idk man. Crazy we’ve destroyed consumer electronics, driven up the cost of power and all sorts of other shit for _this_

Yes. Ext.to, a VPN like proton and an adblocker are the easy way. Can also use usenet

Holy fuck. This is unsurprising but still shocking

This was all I needed to move.
