They don’t seem to be very common elsewhere, but the lemmy devs are tankies, and mostly made it for their tankie friends (and probably weren’t overly thrilled when we normies migrated from Reddit), so they’re disproportionately represented here, even after most of them barricaded themselves inside lemmygrad.
Thanks, I hate it.
Daggerfall was like this, if I’m not mistaken (I got into TES with Morrowind, and I’ve never found the time to play the older games).
The map was about the size of Great Britain, and mostly empty, even if it had about fifteen thousand locations spread about it.
LLMs have legitimate uses today
No they don’t. The only thing they can be somewhat reliable for is autocomplete, and the slight improvement in quality doesn’t compensate the massive increase in costs.
In the future they will have more legitimate and illegitimate uses
No. Thanks to LLM peddlers being excessively greedy and saturating the internet with LLM generated garbage newly trained models will be poisoned and only get worse with every iteration.
The capabilities of current LLMs are often oversold
LLMs have only one capability: to produce the most statistically likely token after a given chain of tokens, according to their model.
Future LLMs will still only have this capability, but since their models will have been trained on LLM generated garbage their results will quickly diverge from anything even remotely intelligible.
The problem is that people selling LLMs keep calling them AI, and people keep buying their bullshit.
AI isn’t necessarily bad. LLMs are.
What, Biden wasn’t genociding hard enough so they voted for the orange fascist who everyone knew would be several orders of magnitude worse…?
