> I find my feelings about #AI are actually pretty similar to my feelings about #blockchains: they do a poor job of much of what people try to do with them, they can't do the things their creators claim they one day might, and many of the things they are well suited to do may not be altogether that beneficial. And while I do think that AI tools are more broadly useful than blockchains, they also come with similarly monstrous costs.
@pluralistic @molly0xfff Eh, I think LLMs work really well at their intended purpose—which is to separate investors from their capital. (The claimed "benefits", meanwhile, are mostly a collection of bare-faced lies.)
@cstross @pluralistic @molly0xfff from what I have seen companies that make GenAI invest in GenAI example Google -> Anthropic.
Investor === Investee
Eg.
They pump up each other's values.
@Zeugs @pluralistic @molly0xfff Line must go up! (Small investors pockets must get vacuumed out.)
@cstross @pluralistic @molly0xfff If I imitate successful people's actions and tell their stories I will be successful too.
That's the truth the guy with the Porsche on YouTube told me! 🙃
