Yeah, that’s the idea, but they are still not there

Let this sink in down

You have 128GB of RAM

Who do you think I am, a multimilionaire?

The main advantage of fediverse over, let’s say X, is that you can change server if you find owner not trustworthy. So just do it, it’s exactly why it was designed in this way, to let you do it easily.

But talking about funding… I might indeed reconsider doing this…

I believe the same thing was said about the Internet in the ’90s: “It speeds up communication, but how would anyone earn money from it?”

Although I don’t think we’re anywhere close to AGI or anything like that, current AI development fundamentally changes a few things in our lives: how we find and process information (information retrieval works very well), how we interact with computers (using natural language instead of clicking through interfaces), and how productive we are.

Video generation models are going to bring entertainment to a whole new level. A single person can now create an entire movie without even buying a camera. Entire game development studios can build worlds larger than ever before. Text generation makes disinformation and propaganda insanely cheap and effective. Surveillance will be much easier now, as owning a communication platform not only allows you to search for messages by phrase but also by meaning. Ads will be far more personalized, as AI chat platforms now know us much better than Google — the current leader in this field.

So:

there isn’t anything real there?

I really don’t think so.

So how dangerous is that really? I assume one day we’ll finally see investors saying, “Nah, that’s a bubble. I’m not gonna see any returns from those companies - I’m selling.” Then stock prices will fall, and some investors will lose money by selling for less than they bought. After that, AI unicorns will start to lose funding and close their businesses, laying off people.

But will I - a person who does not work in the AI industry and has not invested in AI companies - be affected by this?

I wish there was something like this for tags. So: display only posts that contain tag X, but sort them with some algorithm. Ideally: steered by number of likes and date of adding. May be even the same that is used by Lemmy.

Usefulness really comes down to which model is being used. I’ve noticed most developers choose GPT for Copilot because that’s what they are familiar with (or they often don’t have a choice due to company policy). I recommend to try Claude Sonnet. How it works is true magic.

But I agree, repetitive tasks is what it should be used for. Planning is still programmer’s job

Please add some context for someone not up to date with all that jargon. There is a trend here and on hacker news to just post a model name that says basically nothing and I often just don’t even know why I should care. Or maybe I shouldn’t?

What is the use case of stable coins? Fast international money transfer? Or are there other I’m not aware of

Might be hard to do, it needs to be approved by president of Poland which is a big fan of Trump (contrary to current government)

thanks

It’s like you bought a car and deliberately hit the wall to make a headline “cars make you disabled”. Or bought a hammer, hit your thumb and blame hammers for this.

Guys, it’s a TOOL. Every tool is both useful and harmful. It’s up to you how you use it.

I’m reading comments on arstechnica and seeing people mad at… what exactly?

The reason I go to web search is to answer my questions. Now it’s given to me at once, without need to go anywhere. Is it sometimes hallucinating? Of course it is, but have you really 100% trusted information on the Internet before anyways? I haven’t.

You say that ads driven websites are going to stop receiving money. But have you really liked ads driven websites? The same ones whose main incentive is to keep you on the website as long as possible or, in fact, wasting as much your time as possible to sell it to ad companies? The ones that were really worth visiting already changed their business model.

I was talking mostly about side projects. I don’t have much time for them right now. Thanks to LLMs, I can spend those few hours a week on doing instead of reading what is the best way to do X in ever changing world of web front-end frameworks. I just sit down, ask: “how is it usually done?”, tweak it a bit and finish.

Example: I have published an app on flathub a while ago. Doing it from scratch is damn complicated. “Screw it” is what I would say in pre LLMs era after a few hours ;)

True and not true at the same time. Using agents indeed often don’t work, mostly when I’m trying to do the wrong thing. Because then, AI agent does not say “the way you do it is overly complicated, it does not make any sense”, but instead it says: “excellent idea, here are X steps I need to do to make it happen”. It wasted my time many times, but it also guided me quickly though some problems that would take hours to research. Some of my projects wouldn’t have been finished without AI.

To that end the company is developing a “Pay Per Crawl” system, which would give content creators the option to request payment from AI companies for utilising their original content.

So Cloudflare is not as much “saving the Internet”, as just becoming a middleman between LLM training companies and content creators. Which I believe has a potential of being a true goldmine in the future.
