Sort of, when you hang out with people who are less informed, it’s going to get awkward if you’re constantly just explaining stuff. Eventually everyone will pick up on the vibe that you know way more than everyone else.

But I don’t hate it. That stuff can be overcome by working on your self and social ability, often the wittiest people can slyly point out the folly of something someone said with a quick wry joke, and more importantly you can learn to just let stuff go and not always explain everything or make sure everyone is exactly right about everything, and instead focus on being a conversationalist that will just keep things flowing in a fun way.

Plus, then when you do hang out with other people who are well informed, you can have interesting deep conversations. And the world is a lot less scary and hard to navigate if you understand how it all works.

… shredmills was right there …

PC Gamer regurgitating the abstract of a random research paper makes baby jesus cry.

Social media said Mark Zuckerberg was over and sadly I think neither are right.

Build your cat a pillow fort, be the change you want to see in the world.

Based on the shape, at first I it thought was one of the new mesh network streetlights, but after zooming in more I think you’re right, it looks like an antenna box for a wireless metering network.

I will just say, having gone through a real rough year, it’s not always black and white. I be vulnerable with the boys and ask for help, but I need time to process first, and to do it in the way I want and the time I want.

In the meantime, I am often sending memes for that small comfort of friendship while I process.

Often it’s when I’m most likely to. Sometimes you need a distraction, small comforts, and a reminder of feeling normal

Fair enough, though in this case it feels like it’s not making assumptions, but showing unawareness of the one-way nature of American controlled media.

Lol you don’t need to explain how long the US election cycle lasts. The rest of the world is aware.

and yeah, everything is an object, and I see how that can be a nice idea, but man, does that force you to select properties of those objects like crazy. Is this really a good thing, once you have it figured out

This is like the only thing I actually like about PowerShell.

Closing your eyes, slowly taking a deep breath, and calmly, breathing in, and breathing out, while focusing on the sensations in your body, and how much more relaxed you’re feeling right now

I mean, say “CVE” out loud and see if anything comes to mind, then say “EUVD” out loud and see if anything comes to mind.

I’m very pro EU, but this is just a badly chosen acronym.

Lmao come on. Some people in the EU speak English and knew that naming your standard “European Union Venereal Disease” was a bad idea.

Yeah, I always tried to use them as a pencil eraser. They were never very effective but I still always tried.

Even if robotshumans do all the work and we can have anything we want for free, will peoplecats still want to fuck shit up just because they can?

It would be hard to name a bad thing that cant be linked to capitalism.

Yes, so then maybe the problem is with capitalism, not with new technology.

This is a real “everywhere I poke hurts” … “Yeah, cause your finger is broken”, situation.

The argument you presented in your last comment wasnt ‘whether it does more harm than good’, but ‘whether it can do more harm than good’.

If you want to talk about whether LLMs actually do more harm than good in the present world, then I would challenge you to name an ill effect that’s the result of LLMs and not the result of capitalism.

Technology, be it physical, or computer based, has been automating people out of jobs literally since jump. You can either vainly fight technical progress or you can fight for a system that shares the rewards from that progress.

The same argument can be made about computers or the internet or government or schools or speeches or…

I literally use LLMs every day at work to help me code, and yes they are great, even for senior engineers who know what they’re doing, it’s like using intellisense or something like resharper on steroids.

Copilot Web, which is just combining Bing’s substandard search engine with LLMs, has made it genuinely more useful and accurate than Google.

Capitalism, wildly uneven distribution of societal resources, and exploitation all suck, but what LLMs can do on a technical level is pretty wild and would be universally praised if it weren’t for the job loss implications.
