The "decision makers" suffer from the delusion that _they_ are the source of all success. Whenever they get confronted with somebody doing actual work, they get a jolt of strong cognitive dissonance. Hence they essentially try to get rid of people doing actual work so that the can maintain the illusion that they matter better. And that is why they are so in awe of these not very impressive chatterbots and statistical parrots.

Just shows that "decision makers" are generally pretty dumb. The actual facts are looking worse and worse for LLMs. Sure, the "better search" aspect is nice, but the failure to produce anything but slop on almost all other tasks is getting harder and harder to ignore. And the business numbers are still absolutely catastrophic.

I expect general LLMs to go the same way as flying cars (possible, but makes no sense to do), because the effort-to-benefit ratio is just not there.

On the contrary. Keep a safe distance from LLM-type AI, use it sparingly and make sure you do not damage your skull by cognitive surrender to AI. This is a huge, huge trap.

Actually, it looks like it will be. Those revenue numbers are still absolutely terminal and cost is not really going down. At the same time, massive problems become more and more obvious. All that is going to survive are smaller, specialized models. Basically the same thing that happened in all AI hypes (and there have been many) so far.

Hahahah, no. Far, far too limited. At the moment many people are blinded by the barrage of "revolutionary" advances, but many of these are fake and the rest is not nearly as impressed as claimed.

Seen the recent announcement that Claude Mythic found a whopping 1 (!) security bug in CURL and 4 false positives? That is not what good skills look like. That is what really fast pathetic skills look like. And the recently claimed "271 zero days" in FF? In the patch-notes this is a small part of the fixes at a whopping 3 (!) fixes, and only one rated "high". In addition, 2 of these are use-after-free, a thing that tools find reliably and good coding practices can reliably avoid.

Also nice: Gen AI is restricted to the creativity of an amateur: https://www.psypost.org/a-math...

All the "LLM revolution" shows is how gullible and easily manipulated people are. This is not the AI that will deliver actual intelligence. That one has (again) be postponed beyond the foreseeable future.

For a local elevation? Probably. The longer disclosure times clearly have stopped working. But I shudder to think what happens when somebody finds a remote vulnerability...

Those "271 zero days" in Firefox turned into 3 in in the patch-notes and only one was "high" severity. There is a lot of lying in the LLM field.

Well, an LTS kernel only lives so long and that is a problem. Maybe they should so a sort-of extreme LTS that gets security patches for 20 years and then drop all the old drivers from newer kernels.

Thanks for delivering evidence for my claim. Also thanks for demonstrating the LLM cult members have no reasoning capability left.

As an added information, because you do not seem to habe noticed, Slashdot does not support UTF8. You probably do not understand what that means though.

You are overlooking what is used in the industrial field.

Indeed. My firewall / fileserver is on an 18 year old Phenom II 4-core with 32GB RAM and there is no need to replace it. The only thing that broke about 8 years ago was the PSU. Replaced that and it is good fore the foreseeable future.

Then you do not understand how long some industrial equipment runs. "Older kernel" is only a solution if it gets maintenance. You do want that MRI machine taking your pictures to run on a maintained kernel, do you?

Indeed. I had one and I was quite satisfied with it. No idea why they feel the need to portray it as a near-failure.

The Windows fanbois are not rational.

Are still idiots. LLMs do not change that.
