Workers should learn AI skills and companies should use it because it's a "cognitive amplifier," claims Satya Nadella.

in other words please help us, use our AI

"social permission"?

Society didn't even permit you and others to spread AI onto everyone to begin with.

I don't think there's a single data center anywhere that a significant amount of locals are even ambilivient a out, let alone support...

In pretty much every place, they're getting massive tax breaks citizens pay for, and cheaper energy prices because citizens will pay the higher cost due to increased demand of the data center.

We need to seize all this shit from corps.

Stop fucking around, once trump is handled we need to nationalize a whole lot of shit that's been privatized the last 50 years.

I got deepseek to run short roleplaying adventures that are surprisingly fun and engaging. It's an amped up choose your own adventur, so for this application, the future is bright.

Not a single other llm can do this in any way approaching acceptable.

And it still lies and makes shit up, but in a fantasy world, the can let it pass unless it is trying to rob me of experience lol.

When it can do long sessions and entire careers instead of detailed one offs it'll have found its niche for me. Right now, it's just a fun toy, prone to hallucinations.

I can't believe people use these things for code...

I can also see a lot of use in general for gaming! There might be a future where game assets are generated on the fly, dialogue and storylines are without artificial limits, no invisible borders in game worlds. The technology is useful, but not in the way those fools want to force it.

Right now, it’s just a fun toy, prone to hallucinations.

That's the thing though - with an LLM, it's all "hallucinations". They're just usually close to reality, and are presented with an authoritative, friendly voice.

(Or, in your case, they're usually close to the established game reality!)

Fair, but compare that to the fun of an actual in-person TTRPG. It's the main way I make new friends as an adult man.

I hereby revoke my permission.

You can tell how useful AI by how much billionaire are investing in text, audio and video slop generation.

Isn't there now some social media app that only consists of generated ai slop videos?

You'd think their focus should be a little different...

I am for AI but decentralized and owned by the people. Not monopolized and owned by the 1%

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 27 points 9 hours ago

Fuck this loser. We have enough issues to deal with on a daily basis. We don't need to subsidize your fear of having wasted ungodly amounts of money and becoming irrelevant.

That's a YOU problem, fool.

Avoid spending trillions on a product nobody wants to pay for.

I already had enough reasons not to bother using it, he didn't need to give me another one!
