The world needs more action like the people of Quebec did to the suddenly former ceo of Air Canada.

The pilots were French, the jet flying from Montreal. The least that fucker could have done is have someone who knows French give the apology.

Says in the article that they arent good to go, needing code review, code cleanup, comment and documentation cleanup, etc

Yeah, but then article says that “good” ones still need reams of human work to make them acceptable.

Article is propaganda.

Its been standard practice to blame online communities for bad numbers or office politics for most of the last decade.

“Hallucinations” are an inherent part of the programming.

It is literally impossible to prevent them. The systems work on building the fuzzy average response to a query via complex statistics. There is no thinking or creativity.

As microslop was constantly saying last year, LLMs and their ilk are a product in search of an application.

Every company is desperate to find anything these garbage machines can do well enough to validate the trillion or so dollars pumped into them.

Late edit: Also, Salesforce is literally mostly about barely functional tech with shiny demos. Thats why there is a consulting and customization industry worrth at least 10s if not 100s of billions that supports just their software.

But if they don’t get an active email and/or phone number.

How can they then turn around and sell that to info brokers and spammers.

Pick one of the lesser baddies from Voyager.

Or redo Enterprise, taking a page from SNW.

Dont forget the bank fraud.

The “new money” that was the colonial elite became that way by:

1. Stealing land from first nations, even when British Troops tried to help the natives.
2. Bank fraud. Tactic was to get loans from London banks under a fake company in colony X, get the money and then move to another colony and repeat. One of the functions of the “intolerable act” known as the Stamp Act was to make said fraud functionally much harder to execute, which is actually why the elites pushed so hard against it.

The USA was founded in tax cheating and white supremacy.

For clarity: one of “The Intolerable Acts” was that the first nations of North America owned their land, particualrly the Ohio River Valley and all lands east of it and had the right to it.

Another was the stamp act that would stamp out bank fraud that was extremely rampant across the elite of the colonies. Even many of the founding fathers made money with it.

No there is not some hive mind. Their only mind is humanity and everything the companies stole from everyone.

LLMs work by reproducing the statistically fuzzy average result to a prompt.

Thats why they seem to all be the same. Because it is the statisitcally average response.

Or:

1. We’re to primitive to interact with due to missing some critical technology. Like how primitive tribes today would have no idea what radio communication and electricity are, there might be messages flying all around us from alien civs, but we can’t detect them, and they aren’t looking for the radio radiation we put out.

2. We already know of several critical events that needed to happen for life like us to be here: (short list) the rise of oxygen forcing life to adapt to using it as fuel; a slow deforestation giving time for our ancestors to descend from trees and adapt to living only on the ground, and whatever happened that led to the rise of highly intelligent neanderthalis, denisovand and sapiens apes after a million years of erectus without much change. We know something serious happened, just not what.

There is also filters in front of us. Getting over our addiction to petrochemicals looks to be one, it looks increasingly like internet overreliance might be another. Death of the host star or galactic mergers are things too.

3. Space is too big to visit in person. Civs exist and persist, but everything is too far apart, FTL either remains fantasy or is so prodigiously expensive it is not worth it on us.

4. Tied to 2 and 3, civs exist, but are too far apart and don’t last long enough to detect one another. E.g. to get our first radio signals across just our galaxy would be tens of thousands of years. There are billions of galaxies. The earth will be swallowed and die by the sun when the first waves get roughly a third of the way to a far as we can see.

The whole “I feel really guilty about breaking the law” has been a legal trick for at least 25 years.

You realize that for millenia, philosophers fantasized about the concept of a police force that existed just to enforce laws, and not just be military guards?

The issue is not the concept of police. It is the leadership and the police unions.

The stated reason for cutting it is that the ring was already destroyed, Sauron already dead, it was somewhat bizarre to have a 2nd, smaller final battle.

Yes it adds to the story and gives Wormtongue/Saruman a sendoff the theatrical release lacked. Its great wordbuilding but just like Tom Bombadil, doesnt add to the overall movie.

Duke Nukem 3D Demo.

They use it with heavy oversight from the senior devs. We discourage its use and teach them the very basic errors it always produces as a warning not to trust it.

E.G. that ChatGPT will always dump all of the event handlers for a form in one massive method.

We use it within the scope of things we already know about.

How I guide the juniors under me is to have it generate singular methods to accomplish specific tasks, but not entire classes/files.

Except it becomes more dangerous for a novice to use an LLM.

It will introduce vulnerabilities and issues that the novice will overlook.
