  • 404media posted an article absolutely dunking on the idea of pivoting to AI, as one does:

    media executives still see AI as a business opportunity and a shiny object that they can tell investors and their staffs that they are very bullish on. They have to say this, I guess, because everything else they have tried hasn’t worked

  • I was hoping they’d get interesting so I didn’t jump on banning them, but holy shit did they ever take so much space in the thread to say fucking nothing. now I’m pruning hopefully just enough so viewers can get a taste of how much horseshit they were spewing without being tempted to take up more space continuing any of it.

  • you noticed that debate wasn’t allowed here and then turned an entire thread into a pointless fucking debate. thanks for that. fuck off.

  • it can’t be that stupid, you must be donating wrong

  • wait til you find out what the ml does stand for, it’s a real trip (and it sure as fuck ain’t Mali)

  • holy fuck please learn when to shut the fuck up

  • programmers learned what N means in statistics and immediately realized that “this N is too small” is a cool shortcut to sounding smart without reading the study, its goals, or its conclusions. and you can use it every time N is smaller than the human population on earth!

  • the reason why we’re calling AI a bubble isn’t because we think the people illegally running gas generators to power their datacenters have suddenly grown a conscience

    we’re calling it a bubble because just like with NFTs, there’s no use case for LLMs or generative AI that stands up to even mild scrutiny, but the people funneling money into this crap don’t seem to have noticed yet

  • what the numbers show is that nobody gives a shit. nobody’s paying for LLMs and nobody’s running the models locally either, because none of it has a use case. masturbating in public about how invested you are in your special local model changes none of this.

  • case in point: you jacked off all night over your local model and still got a disappointing result

  • no, you fuckers wandered into an anti-AI community and started jacking off about local models

  • Please calm down.

    for some reason this has gotten people very worked up

    Seriously I don’t know what I said that is so controversial or hard to understand.

    I don’t know why it’s controversial here.

    imagine coming into a conversation with people you don’t fucking know, taking a swing and a miss at one of them, and then telling the other parties in the conversation that they need to calm down — about racism.

    the rest of your horseshit post is just you restating your original point. we fucking got it. and since you missed ours, here it is one more time:

    race science isn’t real. we’re under no obligation to use terms invented by racists that describe nothing. if we’re feeling particularly categorical about our racists on a given day, or pointing out that one is using the guise of race science? sure, use the term if you want.

    tone policing people who want to call a racist a racist ain’t fucking it. what in the fuck do you think you added to this conversation? what does anyone gain from your sage advice that “X is Y but Y isn’t X” when the other poster didn’t say that Y is X but instead that Y doesn’t exist?

    so yeah no I’m not calm, go fuck yourself. we don’t need anyone tone policing conversations about racism in favor of the god damn racists

  • hey so I got this letter from OSHA saying you’re no longer qualified to post here? please step away from the forklift

  • no it isn’t, your posts are still shit

  • this is the happy honeymoon phase?

    this marriage is fucked
