    Fun times ahead, and at the end of the day I do think the key part is to redirect the hate from the tech itself towards what’s actually causing problems. Whatever we may think of AI, it’s no longer possible to put toothpaste back in the tube so to speak. This tech exists, and it’s not going to go away because people are mad about it. It’s better to be constructive and focus the discussion on how it’s going to be applied going forward.


  • It’s also useful for finding stuff in large documents or codebases. For example, I was recently trying to understand how different concepts in a paper related to each other, and LLM was able to find the relevant parts of the paper which helped me piece things together.


  • I very much agree, we’re now in the hype phase of this tech and people are trying to use it for everything. Eventually, we’ll settle on the use cases that actually make sense. It’s going to be interesting to watch how it gets applied in places like Vietnam and China compared to the west as well. We get to see a direct contrast of how potentially transformative tech will be applied under socialism and capitalism.


  • Exactly, the hate for AI is reactionary in nature. What people are actually upset about is how this tech ends up being applied under capitalism, and that’s where the anger should be directed. It’s also worth noting how differently AI is applied in China where it’s predominantly used in industry and robotics. Even stuff like LLMs are being applied towards socially useful purposes like improving healthcare or government services. There’s also a big difference in the way it’s being developed with Chinese companies treating AI as a commodity, often releasing models as open source and aiming to optimize them for efficiency, while western approach has been to try and make them into services that can be monetized.

    Personally, I’ve found AI to be a very useful tool for coding. It’s sped up my workflow significantly because it’s able to handle a lot of boilerplate. It’s particularly good for stuff like making UIs quickly. I can throw some sample JSON at a model and have it produce a decent looking React component. It used to take me hours to figure out styling and handling different behaviors, which I find really tedious to do. I also find it’s very handy for discovering language features. I haven’t had to work with JavaScript for a long time, and the language evolved significantly since I last touched it. Now I have a project using it at work, and I can work with the language much faster without having to constantly hunt for how to do a particular thing using it.

    My experience is that this is already a useful tool, and it’s only going to keep getting better going forward. At the same time, it’s not magic, and you still have to learn how to get the most out of it and how to apply it effectively.

    And a couple of more articles I can recommend that have good takes on the subject.





























  • Keep telling me how you don’t communicate much. Please.

    What I actually said was that I don’t need to communicate with you clown much to know what you do collectively. I said absolutely nothing regarding how much I communicate with y’all.

    I don’t need to communicate with you chuds every day to see what you do collectively.

    I knew the education in Yankeestand was bad, but wow this is embarrassing beyond belief. Reading comprehension below grade school level on display here.
