I’d also add that, depending on the language, the ways you can shoot yourself in the foot are very subtle (cf C++/C, which are popular languages for “secure” stuff).
It’s already hard to not write buggy code, but I don’t think you will detect them by just reviewing LLM code, because detecting issues during code review is much harder than when you’re writing code.
Oh, and I assume it’ll be tough to get an LLM to follow MISRA conventions.
What if I told you that we can do all these things at once, and don’t have to pick just one. Mindblowing!
Regarding the alternatives to fossil fuels, they still aren’t free as far as emissions go. It’s still better to not need a new source of power if you can, because they require minerals, fossil fuels, etc. to build.
Also, an insane strain on the power grid makes the transition to greener sources of electricity more difficult because there’s a bigger demand to satisfy. That delays the transition.
If you don’t like how “this website” talks about your garbage tech, maybe you can fuck off back to Reddit with the rest of the douchebags who still believe crypto has a future?
Whataboutism at its finest 👌
The difference with other things causing climate change is that some of these other things are actually useful and work, which is not the case with ShitGPT.
And you can be mad at both simultaneously. You don’t have to decry LLMs only.
No, because the carbon footprint is ridiculously high.
Quit the whataboutism. While the construction industry is in dire need of improvements, it’s at least causing GHG emissions to achieve a useful goal, unlike ShitGPT which repeatedly fails to prove its value when opposed to its environmental costs.
On behalf of all humans suffering from your tech bro arrogance: fuck you and your useless tech. I wish this kind of energy consumption becomes illegal, because it is criminal. Can’t wait for the bubble to finally pop.
The article mentions generative AI btw, the kind that powers ShitGPT.
Damn, this thing slaps
Spreading FUD is just this guy’s way of trying to keep the hype alive. Techbro bullshittery 101. Reminds me of Crypto YouTube a few years back.
Those shitty investments won’t pay themselves back on their own, you know?
I wish I could ignore this, but it’s harming the environment so much that we can’t just ignore those greedy shitheads.
“AI” is what put Google into trouble to begin with… Sure, let’s double-down on the shittiness, I don’t see how anything could go wrong.
Idiots in this thread keep forgetting there’s a climate crisis and that we won’t be able to live the lives we live now forever 🤷♀️
The difference is that the Internet is actually useful.
This is ridiculous. The world doesn’t have to bend the knee to LLMs, they’re supposed to be useful tools to solve problems.
And I don’t see why asking them to help with math problems would be unreasonable.
And even if the formulation of the test was not done the right way, your argument is still invalid. LLMs were being used as an aid. The test wasn’t given to the LLM directly. But students failed to use the tool to their advantage.
This is yet another hint that the grift doesn’t actually serve people.
Another thing these bullshit machines can’t do! The list is getting pretty long.
About the calculator argument… Well, the calculator is still used in class, because it makes sense in certain contexts. But nobody ever sold calculators saying they would teach you math and would be a do-everything machine.
Multiple votes is not why we have secret ballots IRL. Votes during referenda where you don’t vote for one candidate are also secret.
The purpose of secrecy is to protect from repercussions (ie worker vs boss, person vs family, tenant vs landlord…)
I’m not being pedantic. It matters here, because your votes can have repercussion if they’re easy to see at all times. I don’t want to be harassed because I downvoted an obsessive tankie.
Yeah, cause silly mistakes in one place never affect another place that’s completely unrelated.
I know it is, and I find it to be a pretty ridiculously complex fix for a self-inflicted wound.
The disruption it’s caused me outweighs by far any minor inconvenience with the multiplication or micro packages in the NodeJS world. There’s that, and the Python 2 vs 3 shitshow from which the world still hasn’t fully recovered from yet.
I mean it: Python has no business laughing at Javascript. Get your act together, snek 😜
Python has other stupid problems related to pip. As much as stupid micro-dependencies suck in Javascript, they’re not the shitshow managing dependencies in Python is. It’s an inefficiency that never actually caused me noticeable issues in my former webdev life.
And let’s not talk about C++… People reinvent all sorts of wheels all the time because sharing anything is so annoying.
You’re not even making sense anymore 🤣
