Not exactly the densest material out there, but pennies are cheap and easily procured. May not be quite what you’re looking for for your use case. (You asked about “cost/weight ratio” and “weight to space” which makes it sound like you’re looking to add a lot of weight.)

I’ve been known to make a fully-enclosed cylindrical cavity and set my slicer to pause at exactly the right layer to where I can drop a few stacks of pennies into the print before upper layers seal the cavity closed.

God that article is depressing. Where I work, it’s bad but not as bad as any of those stories.

You sound very upset

I am.

about a tool

No, about a massive scam.

I skimmed it to find the parts where it talked about why LLMs aren’t useless. Basically the only place it talks about why they aren’t useless is the section “…, and sophists are useful”:

If I use a LLM to help me find a certain page in a document, or sanity check this post while writing it, I don’t care “why” the LLM did it. I just care that it found that page or caught obvious mistakes in my writing faster than I could have.

So, I’m supposed to wade through the BS and hallucinations to find these nuggets of helpful feedback rather than just proofreading it myself? That’s a pretty weak use case.

I don’t think I need to list the large number of tasks where LLMs can save humans time, if used well.

So he’s basically admitting he can’t come up with any actually good uses. “Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.”

By all means, use LLMs where they are useful tools: tasks where you can verify the output, where speed matters more than perfection, where the stakes of being wrong are low.

There’s no universe where such a use case exists in a way that isn’t actively harmful or at least “brain rot”-y to anyone consuming the content created by the LLM user. This is why AI slop exists.

In short, “yes it does.”

Yes it does.

Fuck no.

They had me at the title.

They lost me at:

[AI] is a truly transformative technology after all.

Stop it. I’m old enough already.

You can learn a lot figuring out how to circumvent blocks like that. It’s educational.

If you’re ever able to and need to go no-contact with him, just don’t feel any guilt over it.

The IP address of lemmy.world is 104.26.8.209 which appears to be in San Francisco.

Pee is stored in the balls.

The next row would be “boss fires you thinking Claude can maintain the codebase.”

Guy in the front row: “hey, walk forward the same number of steps as there are R’s in ‘resurrection’.”

What exactly should LLMs be used for?

Finally, the Republicans will wake up and see Trump for what he really i-

Kidding, the Republicans are going to surgically implant their fingers in their ears and claim it’s a forgery by Democrats or some shit.

Waiting for government intervention before acting is the same mistake we made with lead, asbestos, and PFAS. Let’s not do that again.

So… what do they propose we do, then?

Have you seen Gotham?

Oooh! Oooh! This is an easy one.

No.

One of the two browsers in existence does something shitty and everybody switches to the other. Wait a little while and the other does evil shit and everyone switches back.

Remember when Chromium did the WEI thing?

And when Firefox added a full-screen ad for the movie Turning Red?

Firefox and Chromium are both FOSS, but it seems that isn’t enough. Hopefully it’s different for Lady Bird.
