Yes. And I hink the Brave filter is working quite well.

Indeed. MAGAs are hallucinating worse than the least capable LLMs. Quite an achievement, if not a positive one.

Looks like we are going towards idiocracy.

They do not. Voting in Switzerland is "citizens only". Incidentally, the Swiss government does not collect racial statistics on Swiss citizens. The racist cretin above is just hallucinating "facts" because he cannot deal with reality.

And you did pull all that right out of your ass. Well done, racist cretin.

The thing is, only about 10-15% of the population are independent thinkers and only about 20% can be convinced by rational argument (about 30% on questions not (!) important to them). The rest is like the person you described. No insight, no understanding and completely closed-off to facts. There is no known way to reach them. Sometimes a major catastrophe in their lives can do it, but even that is not assured to.

Well, time to fix all that crappy software. Or else.

That will go well. They are delivering essentially unreviewed LLM output in what is now called "cognitive surrender".

Seriously, the amount of code that will have to be ripped out and thrown away because an LLM "wrote" it is going to be epic. It is pretty clear now that nobody that did this will come out ahead.

That does not mean LLMs are useless. They still work pretty well for "better search", but only with competent and mentally engaged human oversight.

It is even worse for Switzerland. Switzerland is a high-tech nation that does not have enough STEM personnel, because they do not educate enough. Hence they need a massive influx of engineers, MDs, etc. Many (not very smart) Swiss citizens complain, for example, that many MDs are not Swiss, completely overlooking that the alternative is not having enough. Dumb people that cannot think one step ahead is unfortunately also a fact of life in Switzerland....

And it was both votes ("Staenderat" and individuals) that rejected it. It would have to win both to become law.

The whole thing is right-wing conservative assholes that cannot do actual solving of problems and hence try to compete with simplistic proposals. Fortunately, enough people saw how badly this idea was thought out and how massive negative the consequences would have been (loss of basically all treaties with the EU if the limit were to trigger).

Obviously the person you responded to is a MAGA-moron. These people are deep in denial and cannot be reached by reality anymore. Remember the idiots denying COVID existed while being in the last stage of dying from it? That is the insight level of these people.

I have no good solution. Clearly they would need to be isolated and limited to protect everybody (including themselves). But that cannot be done on the scale needed and comes with almost certainty such a mechanism would be abused on a large scale. The US probably needs a crash to 2nd world (or lower) for enough people to realize that facts matter and that cults are not a viable form of government.

Probably. But in the larger scheme of things, this just makes it abundantly clear that, besides its numerous other severe problems, LLM type AI is not even reliably available. This bribe will likely backfire massively.

Good. The sooner the hallucination collapses, the better.

Unprofitable and no real prospects to get profitable. "Move on" indeed.

The best reason for this demented hype I have heard so far is that apparently a lot of CEOs are deep in "AI psychosis" now. They try some simplistic thing (because CEOs cannot do actual work in most cases), find it works, find they "coded" something, fail to understand the severe limitations of what they made and then think they can fire actual engineers.

Not only that. LLMs can, at best, give you low-hanging fruits. These are not very valuable and the ones that got overlooked will run out very quickly.

"Long enough" will be a lot longer than they have left. And I do not even think time will help. The severe problems with LLMs become harder to ignore every day. The stunts intended to signal might and power become more and more feeble while the language gets more bombastic. And the burning of mountains of cash continues.
