Agreed, but that doesn’t mean I won’t celebrate it.

I feel very lucky that my county has public fiber.

In college, on the first day of orientation, someone in my class bragged that they wrote 50,000 lines of code for a game that was similar to tic tac toe, emphasizing that he “wrote a lot of code”. A TA told him that it wasn’t a sign that his program was decent and that it really didn’t seem like it should take 50k lines of code to make something as simple as his game.

He dropped out after the first week of intro to programming.

You should insist that they try different components in your own PC, one at a time, to find the cause. If they just power it on, it won’t do you any good. A stress test would help, but still may not narrow it down to which component is faulty. It could be your PSU, motherboard, or GPU.

I do like that Kagi has a fediverse search option.

Do you have a modular power supply? Might be worth swapping the PSU PCI cables with different ones if so, also changing the ports they’re plugged into on the PSU side to really make sure it’s not the PSU. I’m surprised that the shop you took it to didn’t do something like swapping only the power supply, for example.

Agreed. I don’t see LLM services making an actual ROI any time soon unless something drastic changes.

The primary financial issue with LLMs taking people’s jobs is in the cost of operation, mainly for the LLM companies. They still have not made an ROI, not even close, and that’s with massive government contracts. I personally think that there’s one of three possibilities here. Most of the LLM companies could go under (but they may be “too big to fail” at this point), the LLM companies could start to charge far too much for the quality of the outputs causing some companies to back out, or the LLM companies will, by some miracle, get a ROI through a more efficient model.

The models are enshittified at the start, since they’re basically just hallucinating with guardrails. There’s not any way to make them truly deterministic. Even the “agents” that run through multiple iterations of code to find the “best” solution are lacking. This is because they cannot “think” logically.

My personal opinion, though, is that they’re simply using it as an excuse to fire workers and pump up company stock value. I don’t believe they actually think that LLMs can fully replace devs and engineers. So yes, while LLMs are taking jobs right now, it’s not because they’re good enough at what they do or anything like that. It’s just greed.

How am I trolling by asking for legitimate evidence to cover your claims?

So list a single peer reviewed study that shows a deep learning model with free agency (like a human)? I’m not asking for all of them.

I don’t understand why you can’t give me the name or the title of the research?

I know what it means already. And don’t worry, I’m not taking your word for it. Nor am I going to listen to NDT’s podcast or trust his guests.

Deep learning is not the same as what you described. I know what they are, but they are not “with agency” in any normal sense. Can you give me an exact example of one of these research models “with agency” and not just an entire Wikipedia page?

Where?

Does that exist though?

An LLM isn’t capable of realization, not in the human sense anyway.

I would switch tonight but there’s not voice chat in the self hosted version yet.

I dropped it after the devs response was to be silent about what actually happened “to focus on the f-froid builds”. It’s still unclear, and because of the way they’ve set up the GitHub repo, it’s still possible for the apk to be compromised.
