  • Large language models and “generative AI” such as Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, and DALL-E are all just machine learning models. We do not currently have a real “AI branch” of computer science, we have a branch of machine learning that poses as AI.

    No matter how good a machine gets at recognizing and predicting patterns, it will not constitute AI, as intelligence is different from pattern recognition and prediction. Even if LLMs can sometimes appear to be reasoning, they importantly are not.



  • Before the war, Europeans were obsessed with the Jewish question. The question was basically what to do with the jews who refuse to assimilate. The Germans came up with what they coined as the final solution to the Jewish question, which was of course the Holocaust.

    Then, after the war, what do Europeans do? Do they accept that Jews can live among them as equals, even though they are different? Do we manage to leave this fucking Jewish question behind us?

    Nah, we give them land where other people already live, so that they can have their own state and not bother us.

    It’s just another solution to the Jewish question, and it’s rooted in the same fucked up belief that we simply cannot afford to coexist.

    Israel was not founded against the Holocaust, it was founded with a basis in the same type of fucked up thinking as the Holocaust itself.







  • Usually when I see this it’s using other machine learning approaches than LLM, and the researchers behind it are usually very careful not to use the term AI, as they are fully aware that this is not what they are doing.

    There’s huge potential in machine learning, but LLMs are very little more than bullshit generators, and generative AI is theft producing soulless garbage. LLMs are widely employed because they look impressive, but for anything that requires substance machine learning methods that have been around for years tend to perform better.

    If you can identify cancer in x-rays using machine learning that’s awesome, but that’s very seperate from the AI hype machine that is currently running wild.




  • Gigantic hater of all things LLM or “AI” here.

    The only genuine contribution I can think of that LLMs have made to society is their translation capabilities. So even I can see how a fully open source model with “multilingual fluency in over 1,000 languages” could be potentially useful.

    And even if it is all a scam, if this prevents people from sending money to China or the US as they are falling for the scam, I guess that’s also a good thing.

    Could I find something to hate about it? Oh yeah, most certainly! :)








  • As long as it’s based on software rather than hardware I think it’s safe to assume it will be lost.

    You can reinstall some things (such as the default camera app) from apks you find online, and apps such as Google Maps can be downloaded from the app store (which contains all apps from the play store). But by default it strips away everything that is installed on the phone by default and replaces it with a degoogled ecosystem, and I don’t think it differentiates between different devices.
