Ummm no! Our drones have crosses on them because Jesus is king.

This is just GIGO.

The US gave Israel, an evil state, nuclear weapons. By your logic…

Pretty much this and the answer is nothing. This is the world we have created where people are murdered just because. We are the ultimate terrorist.

It takes a special type of shithead to threaten peoples’ jobs to their face without even knowing what the fuck they are talking about.

Yes, but at this point it looks like the red sharpie is running dry.

Don’t worry, AI is going to make it all cheaper. /S

Propping up gas prices so the Russian economy won’t crash.

I know you are willfully being ignorant here as AI data centers are projected to use more electricity than the entire nation of Japan by 2030.

Your own hosted LLM is not the problem nor the issue we are even discussing and quite frankly a little insulting you bring it up

I am not anymore anti-AI than any tool that you can’t determine is accurate nor correct if there is an issue with it. LLM have a long way to go before they are even a fraction of what they claim to be.

Another problem is they do not cite where they get their answers from. Without the ability to audit the answers you are given you won’t know how accurate they are.

I have listed several legitimate gripes about LLM. I find your fanboism misplaced and I think you are just playing devil’s advocate at this point. AI is a hype train and I am sick of it already.

It takes an enormous amount of energy and processing power to create these shitty snapshots so in many ways it is doom considering it will dramatically increase our energy usage.

I get it, you are an AI supporter but you fail to critically analyze it or even understand it. What tool would you use that you can’t correct errors to or even determine how it works. You are really operating on faith here that the black box your getting an answer from is giving you the correct answer.

Perhaps a code snippet works, but after this is where it all falls apart. What if the snippet does not work or causes a problem. The LLM has nothing to offer you here.

LLM are poor snapshots of a search engine with no way to fix any erroneous data. If you search something on Stack you get the page with several people providing snippets and debating the best approach. The LLM does not give you this. Furthermore if the author goes back and fixes an error in their code the search will find it whereas the LLM will give you the buggy code with no way to reasonably update it

LLM have major issues and even bigger limitations. Pretending they are some panacea is going to disappoint.

Woah man, are you like saying public safety officers should like be safe and protect people. This could like totally revolutionize police work!

There is a huge difference between an algorithm using real world data to produce a score a panel of experts use to make a determination and using a LLM to screen candidates. One has verifiable reproducible results that can be checked and debated the other does not.

The final call does not matter if a computer program using an unknown and unreproducible algorithm screens you out before this. This is what we are facing. Pre-determined decisions that human beings are not being held accountable to.

Is this happening right now? Yes it is, without a doubt. People are no longer making a lot of healthcare decisions determining insurance coverage. Computers that are not accountable are. You may have some ability to disagree but for how long?

Soon there will be no way to reach a human about an insurance decision. This is already happening. People should be very anxious. Hearing United Healthcare has been forging DNRs and has been denying things like treatment for stroke for elders is disgusting. We have major issues that are not going away and we are blatantly ignoring them.

Shhh stop saying the quiet part out loud.

I think it is important to keep in mind how much energy moving 87 million pounds of salt a day would take. Unless this valley was extremely close it would be prohibitive.

I do think you have a decent idea though if we had to use desalination and didn’t want to dump it right back into the ocean.

Approx 35 grams of salt per litte. 35 g x 5000 litres per day is about 385 pounds of salt everyday. This is the problem with desalination no one discusses.

On the low end people use around 300 litres a day. So this is only enough water for 16 people. When you start scaling this it really becomes clear.

Let’s say you wanted to provide LA with water from desalination. At around 23 pounds of salt from 300 liters of water per person with LA population being 3.8 million that would make 87 million pounds of salt… wait for it… per day!

Sure you can put it back into the ocean, but that is not good for sea life at all. Not to mention all the energy needed to pump it back if that is what you choose to do. I don’t think sequestering is an option either.

He is trying his hardest to bankrupt us. That is the only thing he is consistently good at.

I prefer to be blown up by people who respect me /S

Her and her girl gonna be pissed when they don’t have no gaming. No cap, that what girls like.

Nu-uh magic Musk is going to fix all our problems.
