    The development of LLMs has been and continues to be the biggest theft of human intellectual and creative outputs. But it’s being normalized and treated as ok because its being done under the guise of capitalism, by white collared criminals.

    Inhuman corporate entities should not be allowed to own intellectual property and exclude people from it. They should not be allowed to pretend computer programs are inhuman AI stooges to do it for them either. Intellect is, until proven otherwise, the sole province of real, individual humans and must remain protected as such.

      Maybe worth negative hundreds of billions to us. To the companies and investors, covering losses is the taxpayers’ problem.

        So great. I love that they hoovered up (mostly illegally) all the Internet’s knowledge and then enshittified web search intentionally.

        It’s like going back to the bad part of the early 2000s when skilled SEOs would game the algorithm to push their shitty websites to the top of the results, forcing everyone to navigate several pages of results to get ‘real’ useful content. Only this time it’s the search engines themselves doing it intentionally, and the slop-sites are everywhere.

    We’ll see how that works out when nobody creates new answers to new questions. Ten years from now LLMs have nothing but hallucinated trash for training data. How do you troubleshoot anything at that point is a mystery.

      In ten years, there’ll still be gen-X’ers around. Sure, we’ll be muttering about being too old for this shit, but we’re the last generation that intrinsically understand systematic troubleshooting.

        Really doing us millenials dirty like that? Z and A are basically inept and aren’t equipped with crticial thinking skills. We grew up with dialup, DOS, and soundblaater drivers.

          I’m in college for the second time around in my 30s and the lack of critical thinking is astounding. We’ve been doing game dev for a year now and there are still classmates who don’t know how to web search stuff. A couple months ago I asked someone to open the file explorer and they didn’t know what that was. There’s something going on where some of them simply don’t want to think beyond the most surface level stuff and any question further is “I don’t know and so I’m not going to look it up”. Worries me. I’m trying my best to get them excited to learn and use critical thinking but I’m also just a student I’ve got my own stuff to be worrying about too

            My stepdaughter is 8. When she asks a question, my first response is usually “what do you think?” And then once she gives her thought process then we go through how to get the right answer. I don’t want to just give her answers, I want to give her tools to find the answers. And I want to make sure she at least tries first before she gets help.

          I’m old enough to remember using Mac OS 9 on G3 iMacs when it was still in schools as a kid, yet was still in highschool when harambe died.

          Time is fake, generations doubly so.

          You got everything served to you on a silver platter! My first computer had no storage and only two games on cartridges. If I got bored with Space Invaders and Radar Rat Race, I would type in a program from a German magazine and I didn’t even know German, so sometimes it would be a graphics demo, sometimes a calendar and occasionally a game. I would usually have about an hour left until bedtime when the computer would be turned off and the memory obviously cleared.

          All you had to do was to enter “warez” into Alta-Vista.

    Someone else started charging admission

    Yeah, welcome to capitalism. Why are people seemingly incapable of taking this next step in logic?

      Because many of us were taught that capitalism is good earlier than we can even remember, making it a cornerstone of our entire understanding of the world. It takes a lot to renovate that, by design.

      No, it can’t. If something can be done, it will be done. This is not even talking about human nature but just probabilistics. There is always that fucking dude who pees and poos in the swimming pool.

        People still go swimming though, also no poos in the pool lol. Also AI exists, if you find it personally useful you might as well do so. Using it personally or not isn’t going to change much.

        AI does have many uses. Guiding through difficult learning when I feel stuck and don’t have access to someone in person. Quickly narrowing down a large amount of search engine results. Building small, basic scripts of code when you either can’t be bothered to do it yourself or don’t want to learn how to code.

        There’s plenty of use cases, it’s fine if you don’t find it useful personally.

    Bro we have internet taxis that are regular taxis with less fees. We have “internet” money that mostly buys illegal stuff. We have “gig economy” jobs that are part time jobs run by an app. Recent internet “innovations” are just old internet with a fee.
