what if none of it’s good, all of it’s fraud (especially the benchmarks), and having a favorite grifter in this fuckhead industry is just too precious
as the other poster pointed out: Iron Man 2 came out in 2010, and Musk’s personality cult was already in full swing since his PR team at the time did everything they could to associate him with the first film. I believe Charlie when he says his friend and fellow sci-fi author knew an asshole when he saw one.
my bad, I was working on the awful.systems psychic energy collector and it must have backlashed
fuck yes. I don’t think my brain knows what to do with the happy/excited neurotransmitters that news caused it to produce
this feels like a pattern too — so many naturally divergent or non-standard (from the perspective of a white American who thinks they own the English language) elements of writing are getting nonsensically trashjacketed as telltale signs that a text must be generated by an LLM. see also paully g trashjacketing “delve” for purely racist reasons and the authors of the Nix open letter having the accusation of LLM use leveled at them by people who didn’t read the letter and didn’t want anyone else to either.
React has entered the chat (don’t try talking to it yet though, it has to “asynchronously” load every individual UI element in the jankiest way possible)
I ask for the dumbest things like “decrease the padding on the sidebar by half” because I’m too lazy to find it
this is so much slower (in both keystrokes and raw time, not to mention needing to re-prompt) and much more expensive than just going into the fucking CSS and pressing the 3 buttons needed to change the padding for that selector, and the only reason why this would ever be hard is because they’re knee deep in LLM generated slop and they can’t find fucking anything in there. what a fucking infuriating way to interact with a machine.
it’s amazing how intensely these assholes want to end Wikipedia and pollute all other community information sources beyond repair. it feels like it’s all part of the same strategy:
- without consent, scrape all the information from an online source as destructively as you can
- if possible, render that source useless by polluting it with LLM crap
- otherwise, shut it down through political means
- now that you’ve pulled the ladder up behind you, replace that information source with your garbage LLM and start rentseeking harder than Netflix
It is not for those easily duped by what they find in their minds or online.
fuck I hate when my own brain dupes me into getting on the internet
courtesy of 404media: fuck almighty it’s all my nightmares all at once including the one where an amalgamation of the most aggressively mediocre VPs I’ve ever worked for replaces everything with AI and nobody stops them because tech is fucked and the horrors have already been normalized
Particular to if statements, C will do things push and pull values from the stack which takes a small but occasionally noticeable amount of cycles.
holy fuck. llvm in shambles
you know I was having a slow day yesterday cause I only just caught on: you think we program GPUs in plain fucking C? absolute dipshit no notes
do we have a name yet for the junior political commentators who appear to have learned the word narrative and apply it to every situation like I apply mayo to a sandwich? (disgusting amounts, you will shit)
also, holy fuck their entire post history on their 5 day old account is just them doing this rapid fire tedious shit and then throwing themselves dramatically on the ground when they get called out for it. good fucking riddance
didn’t know i was getting tag teamed, you understand. (or you can choose not to i guess)
jesus christ you’re going to make this entire thread this exact type of tedious nonsense aren’t you? time for you to fuck off out of this thread. TechTakes isn’t the place for you and your friends to salivate over a supposedly less shitty LLM or repost horseshit from e/a Twitter
its somehow wrong that china got more juice out of the cards by bypassing cuda to better micromanage some aspect of the process?
according to some shit called xatakaon paraphrasing the parts of Nazi social media frequented by goofy as shit AI grifters
cw: body horror

mass plagiarism is fine, but don’t fuck with ads: OpenAI disables Browse with Bing
Ah If it isn't the resident LLM skeptic. So deep in it, you've somehow convinced yourself a one shot ~50% hit rate is equivalent to homeopathy.
