They are useful for doing the kind of boilerplate boring stuff that any good dev should have largely optimized and automated already. If it’s 1) dead simple and 2) extremely common, then yeah an LLM can code for you, but ask yourself why you don’t have a time-saving solution for those common tasks already in place? As with anything LLM, it’s decent at replicating how humans in general have responded to a given problem, if the problem is not too complex and not too rare, and not much else.

I don’t like to judge idiots too harshly, but if you bought a product marketed as an encrypted toilet camera you deserve whatever happens to you

Where I live I see mom and dad getting pulled over all the time for going 30 in a 25 on the way to drop Little Timmy off at preschool, so different everywhere I guess. I wish cops would focus on catching people who’ve committed major crimes rather than being citation money printing presses.

Wait Dad, you just gonna leave us hanging without a link?? 🤣

In highschool we used to just repeat large portions of the script of Grail to each other in place of actual human conversation. I can still trot out the whole “Old woman!” scene by memory when the moment calls for it.

Or “like my dear Pa-Par” in some versions 🤣

Everyone trying to look serious or intellectual and Cleese just grinning like an idiot in the background love it

You, sir, are obviously not thinking of the children /s

Wow, just popped it onto my very slow desktop and this little model rips haha. I really think tiny LLMs with a good LoRA on top are going to be a huge deal going forward

That’s so crazy that an LLM capable of doing anything at all can be that small! That’s leaves room for like an entire .avi episode of family guy at dvd resolution on there, which is the natural choice for the remaining space of course

Yeah, these are really silly if you can use quotes or like place/person names. Like if my Dad named Had lived in a town called Had Had, and his favorite thing to say was “had had had”…it just becomes like stupid to say that’s some crazy example of a grammatical sentence even if it technically is.

yeah I barely can bring myself to give like Fidelity or Charles Schwab photos of my ID, just even having a digital image of my ID on my computer feels wrong lol

Could you crunch an LLM into 700Mb that was still functional? Cause this looks like a fun thing to actually do as a joke.

Edit, I bet I could get https://huggingface.co/distilbert/distilgpt2 to run off a CD. How many tps am I gonna get guys 🤣

You can achieve privacy by not doing things online. People used to understand that if you wanted something to remain private, you literally kept it to yourself, idk what happened. Hence my radical proposal: If you have things you wish to remain private, don’t transmit those things into the largest public and most surveilled space that has ever existed, the Internet. We used to say to each other: “Don’t put anything online or type anything into a browser that you wouldn’t want to see on the frontpage of your hometown paper with your name on it.” You can’t walk into the public town square of the whole world, let your private details out, and then get miffed about muh privacy because you spoke into a place that was being listened to by corporations, it just doesn’t work that way.

Considering the average salary of a neurosurgeon in the US is $565,882 to $988,473, and he did that for 10 years, I’d say it’s safer to say that trading your life really quickly for lots and lots of money and then fucking off to the mountains with a couple mil in the bank beats “good and respectable” any day.

I do feel like I have more authentic interactions on here. It’s hard not to see how much more heavily a huge platform like reddit is botted and astroturfed, and controlled by a handful of owners, mods and powerusers, compared to the nascent fediverse. Not that we don’t have those things here too, I think Lemmy just hasn’t had a high enough profile, yet, to warrant much attention from the same bad actors who run vast portions of reddit, X, and facebook. Here’s hoping it stays that way for a little while longer.

Second fun fact, they flatly refused to acknowledge the dresses entirely when asked over and over about them, just saying what a lovely night and event it was and all the stars are out etc. 🤣

I like that, but I’d put it the other way around I think, it’s closer to an algorithm that, at each juncture, uses a magic 8 ball to determine which of the top-n most likely paths it should follow at that moment.

Absolutely everything requires assumptions, even our most objective and “laws of the universe” type observations rely on sets of axioms or first principles that must simply be accepted as true-though-unprovable if we are going to get anyplace at all even in math and the hard sciences let alone philosophy or social sciences.

This actually seems like the kind of nonsense that gets “invented” once a decade or so. There’s just no way this is humanity’s very first crack at “washing machine but it does people” lol
