Sounds like a solution looking for a problem.

Perhaps. But I can't see a reason why they couldn't still write endless—and theoretically valuable—poems, dissertations, or blog posts, about all things red and the nature of redness itself. I imagine it would certainly take some

There are use cases where even low accuracy could be useful. I can't predict future products, but here are two that are already in place today: - On the keyboard on iphones some sort of tiny language model suggest what it thinks are th

That's a clickbait title. What they are actually saying: Given one correct quoted sentence, the model has 42% chance of predicting the next sentence correctly. So, assuming you start with the first sentence and tell it to keep going, i

What about the free open weights models then? And the open source tooling to go with them? Sure, they are perhaps 6 months behind the closed-source models, and the hardware to run the biggest and best models isn't really consumer-grade

I think one issue is that you won't always be able to invoice those extra 999 hours to your customer. Sometimes you'll still only be able to get paid for 1 hour, depending on the task and contract. But the llm bill will always inv

The way I see it: * The world is increasingly ran on computers. * Software/Computer Engineers are the only people who actually truly know how computers work. Thus it seems to me highly unlikely that we won't have a job. What that

I won't deny that in a context with perfect information, a future LLM will most likely produce flawless code. I too believe that is inevitable. However, in real life work situations, that 'perfect information' prerequisite wi

Depends on what front end you use. But for text-generation-webui for example, Prompt Caching is simply a checkbox under the Model tab you can select before you click "load model".

Great take. A mixtape can be greater than the sum of its parts! I believe that a lot of the judgement is also connected to the quality of the works. "Slop", while doubtlessly accurate for today, may be a rather weird description

I agree, the story behind the work is part of how we humans view a creation and cannot be dismissed. I think we're a long way away from 100% algorithmically created content. This far all I've seen is content that is created based

While I have no doubt that individual companies, such as OpenAI for example, will eventually introduce enshittification features, I doubt the industry as a whole can be summarized that easily. I believe, over all, development will go forwar

My theory is that as the quality of these generative tools increase, we'll see the public opinion of them slowly shift. Regardless of philosophy (although discussing it is always fun), it just seems inevitable since there are so many m

Personally I don't like to gatekeep art. For example: If someone walks out into the wilderness and encounters a particularly fascinating rock formation or plant, something that was created completely by accident and without a artist or

Trying to look at the bigger picture for a moment. A lot of the philosophical debate about art I see here, and elsewhere on social media, is often very shallow and can be reduced to: Does one believe that the value of the art-piece (be is

The only similar example I can think of is when, roughly 2400 million years ago (during the Paleoproterozoic iirc), the ancestors of cyanobacteria poisoned their atmosphere by overproducing oxygen which resulted in an extinction event. But

A lot of people seem to argue that the original intent was for disputes to be handled by the courts. That is, governed by laws outside of the crypto's smart contract implementation. And thus the company is right to seek judicial help a

> Let’s say I write a book or record an album and there is no copyright. How do I get paid? A couple of years ago, I would have agreed that this would be a big and complicated issue. But do we all really think this is a problem in 2025?
