We’re already seeing a slight leveling off compared to what we had previously. Right now there is a strong focus on optimization, getting models that can run on-device without losing too much quality. This will both help make LLMs sustainable financially and energy-wise, as well as mitigate the privacy and security concerns inherent to the first wave of cloud-based LLMs.

I don’t disagree with the idea that AI is being shoved into software without much purpose or thought, but that’s got little to do with whether it is here to stay or not. It’s here to stay for its many practical uses, be it new personal assistants like what Apple has shown off with Siri, text summarization like what is being added to browsers, rephrasing/tone checking like what is being added to office software, or code completion and debugging like what is being added to code editors. These applications have proved their worth, and even if some applications are just because hype, these applications are here to stay.

Writing it off as a fad is rather ignorant. Sure there’s a lot of hype and bullshit surrounding AI, but it already has strong use cases and earns a profit for the companies involved. It’s still the early years for the tech too, so it is reasonable to expect it to improve in the coming years, both in terms of accuracy and performance.

Not exactly what you’re looking for, but most small blogs support rss. That’s enough if you just want a personal feed, and one could really easily build a bot to post articles onto Mastodon or Lemmy or similar. I’d be surprised if there isn’t already one.

Zionism has always been a far-right nationalist movement. Some Zionists openly supported the Nazis because they believed they would cause increased migration of Jewish people from Europe to Palestine.

To whatever extent that terrorism and war are separate, it’s only a way for those in power to tell uninformed people which violence to support or who to hate. “We’re going to war to bring freedom” vs “Those terrorists are attacking the [colonial] government!”

Looks basically the same as the previous gen. I guess it’s marginally thinner?

Putin also wins by a landslide. It’s easy to do if you ban all the competition.

It’s a small price for freedom

I know, it just would have been wrong to say no battery at all

The second sentence is true. They’re inducing famine conditions but allowing an extremely small amount of food in.

Oh nice, didn’t know that. Sponsorblock is also available on Safari but it’s a few dollars I think.

It’s great but does it block ads?

I doubt they would replace a smartphone for people unless it was small and comfortable enough that you would want to wear it 24/7. Smartphones succeeded because of the convenience, I can check my phone at my desk, in bed, while walking, while pooping. Unless it shrinks down to a pair of glasses I don’t see it happening, and even then input is a whole other problem, touchscreens are insanely intuitive.

If you genuinely believe that the US is a true democracy for and by the people, I have a bridge to sell you. Get a group of people together and declare independence and see how far you get before the police or military come after you.

I mean fuck trump but he should be entitled to the same process as anybody else

Who controls what is lawful though? Hint: just another terrorist organization

With almost no battery even

Many of the people complaining about a feature they would just disable and never use are also the same kinds of people who would complain about basic accessibility features and call them “unnecessary bloat”.

How do any of those things have anything to do with LLMs? You’re just listing a bunch of random tech that isn’t particularly impactful and claiming that another unrelated thing must be a failure.
