Honestly, I can’t get anybody to give me a good definition of intelligence, artificial or otherwise. Once we can define that in concrete terms, maybe we can finally compare the two.

Aren’t we just repeating what Cory Doctorow said? How is this just a Lemmy comment made to be funny?

Meanwhile, the US bond yield hits 5% for the first time since the housing crisis.

brain of a horse, speed of a man.

This is wrong on so many levels. We wouldn’t bother even using LLMs if they are were merely the “speed of a man”. And anybody who’s bothered to actually use the technology can tell you that’s it doesn’t have the “brain of a horse”.

Human review is still important, but the depth of knowledge they have is pretty damn advanced. The moment you completely remove the human element is where everything falls apart.

Also, who fucking cares about Howard Stern’s opinion on AI?

At this point, there’s so much bullshit from both sides on this issue that I don’t trust any of them.

• I don’t trust the anti-AI crowd, because they are just interested burying their head in the sand and pretending the technology never existed, despite its benefits.
• I don’t trust the ones who call for regulation, because far too much money is sloshing around in the political pool, and they would just push this half-hearted bill to “ban the Chinese models” without any real regulation on the US side.
• I don’t trust the tech bros who can’t wait to fire half of their workforce for a shareholder circlejerk, instead of using all of that increased productivity to fix all of the bugs and mountain of tickets their developers face every day.
• I don’t trust the US AI cabal who willing participates in a circular multi-trillion-dollar Ponzi scheme that actively damages the global economy and many of them are sucking on enough copeium to be classified as its own atmosphere.
• I don’t even trust the Chinese, who despite playing the part of the gigachad in this fucked up story with its open source and genuinely useful models, are still playing the best strategy they have to promote their own communist dictatorship, and they might well end up on top in the long term.

I wouldn’t pollute my Linux OS with that shit.

In what way?

There has always been slop before AI slop.

This is such an incoherent counterpoint that I’m convinced this is just some form of trolling.

There’s so much information, misinformation, and random forum posts that using an search engine alone is hot garbage. And I’m not even talking about Google’s zero-click bullshit. Even using other search engines will only get you so far, so fast. Stack Overflow ain’t the resource it used to be, and even then, it was still rife with misinformation and noobs that didn’t know what the hell they were talking about.

The way I see it, there are two choices:

1. Spend 30-60 minutes trying to find the information I’m looking for.
2. Ask my Kagi agent to find what I’m looking for, give me the results in 1-2 minutes, and provide an intelligent list of options for my problem.

Whats stopping you from killing someone?

I have morals and ethics. But, not everybody does, and that’s why there’s prior enforcement to make the punishment a deterrent for the crime.

If there’s no enforcement, there’s no law.

Ain’t no war except class war.

It’s called “copyleft” for a reason.

In terms of murder, not every person is caught. But, enough of them are to deter the crime.

In terms of “no AI” enforcement, it’s not even a matter of perfection. It’s not possible to enforce except for the dumbest attempts, especially without also using AI to detect it. And if that enforcement comes about, then the evasion starts, and it’s hidden even further.

Wow, just speedrunning Godwin’s Law, aren’t we?

I guess I’m going to go back to work and talk to my five LLM sessions that are working on different tickets.

The entire point of GPL is to forcefully extract copyright out of the code in the first place.

I hate this attitude that if a rule or standard can’t be enforced perfectly, we shouldn’t strive for it.

This is the entire basis for the War on (some) Drugs. Guess what? Drugs won.

Power is nothing without enforceability, and purposely implementing rules or laws that can’t be enforceable is a form of malice and discrimination through selective enforcement.

You understand that car racing is the most blatantly advertised sport, or really, popular entity that ever exists, right? It’s been a running joke for decades how many sponsorships are plastered all over their cars and outfits.
