Agreed, the hype cycles need vocal critics. The loudest voices talking about LLMs are the ones who financially benefit the most for it. I’m not anti-AI, I think

Agreed, the hype cycles need vocal critics. The loudest voices talking about LLMs are the ones who financially benefit the most for it. I’m not anti-AI, I think the hype and gaslighting the entire economy to believe this is the sole thing that is going to render them unemployed is ridiculous (the economy is rough for a myriad of other reasons, most of which come originate from our countries choice in leadership)
Hopefully the innovation slowing means that all the products I use will move past trying to duck tape AI on and start working on actual features/bugs again
- igorkraw 1y agoI have a tiny tiny podcast with a friend where we try to break down what parts of the hype are bullshit (muck) and which kernels of truth are there, if any, startedpartially as a place to scream into the void, partially to help the people who are anxious about AGI or otherwise bring harmed by the hype. I think we have a long way to go in terms of presentation (breaking down very technical terms to an audience that is used to vague-hype around "AI" is hard), but we cite our sources, maybe it'll be interesting gpr you to check out out shownotes https://kairos.fm/muckraikers/ https://kairos.fm/muckraikers/ I personally struggle with Gary Marcus critiques because whenever they are about "making ai work" it goes into neurosymbploc "AI" which o have technical disagreements with, and I have _other_ arguments for the points he sometimes raises which I think are more rigorous, so it's difficult to be roughly in the same camp - but overall I'm happy someone with reach is calling BS ad well.
