  • Oh, and since this seems to be the space you’re working in:

    I did use Dude in a gendered way there because I assume from your preachiness that you’re Male. Women tend to be less preachy/overexplainer in my experience. If I happen to be wrong, apologies, I’ll edit it if/once you clarify.


  • Dude, sometimes people talk in, like, a casual way and don’t attach two extra paragraphs to explain that they were using the word “god” in a gender neutral way even though it has a masculine form.

    You then writing a diatribe about it doesn’t convince anybody. And in the end it actually hurts our case because it brings to mind and reinforces that awful stereotype of the bitter, over reactive SJW.












  • To avoid our company, don’t buy our product?

    To avoid all AI, well first you’re going to have to degoogle. And then probably any tech company larger than 1000 people is going to have some place where they use AI, so you’ll want to get on openstreetmap, Lemmy, mastodon, i.e. all the free software versions of things that you can. There’s a lot of overlap with privacy-focused people there. Also basically no shopping online - Stripe and probably most other payment providers use ML for detecting fraud.

    And then if you’re doing web development you probably have to consider things like scrapers. Something like Anubis https://anubis.techaro.lol/ can help with that.

    There’s probably more I don’t know/haven’t thought of.

    I am building it! Or, well, not it anymore but a product that is heavily based on it.

    I think we as a company recognize that the, like, 95% of AI products right now are shit. And that the default path from now is that power continues to concentrate at the large labs like OpenAI, which haven’t been behaving particularly well.

    But we also believe that there are good ways to use it. We hope to build one.

    The thing your boss is asking you to do is shitty. However, TBQH humanity doesn’t really know what LLMs are useful for yet. It’s going to be a long process to find that out, and trying it in places where it isn’t helpful is part of that.

    Lastly, even if LLMs don’t turn out to be useful for real work, there is something interesting and worth exploring there. Look at researcher/writers like Nostalgebrist and Janus - they’re exploring what LLMs are like as beings. Not that they’re conscious, but rather that there’s interesting and complex things going on in there that we don’t understand yet. The overarching feeling in my workplace is that we’re in a frontier time, where clever thinking and exploration will be rewarded.

    Oddly enough, if you take the derivative of f, you get the constant function 0.

    Many interpret this to mean that “all memes are derivative”, which is true, but not the cause.

    The real cause is that the value of any given meme is equal to the value of any other given meme. Doesn’t matter which one you look at, they all fail to make you laugh.
