No what's delusional is trying to tell a stranger on the internet that their actual experiences are delusional. Like, you see that right? You're at conspiracy level shit here because nothing I say will convince you otherwise. You'll listen to some rando's blog post about his "study" that assumes the grandiose dreams about the actual productivity gains from using Ai. But you will ignore the guy simply saying that "yes I find them useful".

This quote right here proves to me that this guy is just blogging for the purpose of hating on Ai hype. But he isn't really hating on LLM technology. He is hating on the hype that the corporations are pushing. If you haters would shut the fuck up for a second and actually approach the technology as a tool rather than looking at it as some existential thread, then you'd see what I am trying to tell you. If you were a good engineer you would recognize its utility, ignore the hype, and use it in a way that makes your job a bit easier.

But no, continue banging rocks together and trying to convince yourself that metallurgy was a failure.

And of course my html formatting was wrong....let's try again.

I'm sorry that you're too stupid to figure out how to make this technology work for you.

Well first off, LLMs don't have to be run in multiple mega server farms. Secondly, as I said, they are very effective when purpose-built. Thirdly, you should focus your ire on the billionaires and their corporations abuses. There is no way in hell LLMs will ever lead to any sort of replacement for humans. But these assholes won't be satisfied until they collapse the economy trying.

This is actually incredibly wrong and naive. The LLM technology DOES have utility and I personally get incredible use out of them as coding assistants in particular. The problem with the technology is that the people financially invested in it have become high on their own supply of hype. They really do want it to be a do everything job killer and they are leveraging trillions to do so. Unfortunately for all of us, this will never work because the LLM technology is not capable of it and never will be.

But to circle back, LLMs do have great utility for specific tasks and I would personally be loath to lose it from my tool belt.

It wasn't created by Mike Judge or even produced by him. He was just a voice actor on the show. Still a great show though.

These are the authors of the Expanse series. They started a new series called The Captives War and it's a really good sci-fi read.

They could have just not run the Ai for a few days and donated all of the money saved in resources used and raised more money than that agent ever would.

1. This is ironic because Pluribus is pretty much a critique of Ai.
2. Someone at Apple actually promoting a show on their platform, but then doing it in the worst way possible.

You could have stopped right there.

Yeah who the fuck wrote this and how does it make it onto Slashdot?

It's not fragmentation or anything else. It's the ease of use. I recently built a new PC and I attempted to go full Linux desktop. I tried Kubuntu, Mint, and Zorin. They all came in sorely lacking in the ease of use, plug-n-play areas. While I have 20 years of working with Linux, I REALLY do not want to wrestle with settings when I am trying to play a game, or pair my bluetooth devices, or worry about which video cable I need to use. There's a million small things that on their own no seasoned Linux user would blink at. But when you're used to a Windows environment where everything just works, it becomes a real pain in the ass.

The only way this works is if someone takes one of these distros, charges for it, and makes it as smooth and easy to use as Windows or MacOS. Keeping it free and opensource will never get there.

Rationalize it however you want. Indie games never sell more than AAA. Expedition 33 has sold 5 million units in all of 2025. Battlefield 6 has sold 10 million in just one month.

Game awards are meaningless and this idea that consumers are rejecting pricy AAA games is flat out wrong.

Did what? Make sure that cars with no human drivers are safe and the owners held to a level of accountability? Yes, yes we did.
