@Catwoman69y2k @cyberlyra server - client architecture better than previous master - slave.

@cyberlyra Reach - the poison for contemporary journalism that slowly errodes and undermines democracy by giving „alternate facts“, sensationalism and ragebait weight.

@codinghorror @cyberlyra What my theory presupposes is that webinar was ruined from its very inception.

@cyberlyra Funny how many of these are specific to social media, not tech per se. And the rest mostly fall under advertising or business analytics. Not that I'm trying to exonerate big tech or anything.

[jvs_nl@mastodon.social]

@cyberlyra shocking how those words have been turned into toxic exploitative metrics.

Please don't forget about the very damaging recent additions "thinking" and "reasoning", bend them enough and they'll make people lose touch with their understanding of minds irreparably.

An LLM can not "think" nor "reason". The only thing it does is "generate". Any form of rebranding of that simple fact is wishful marketing speak.

@evanwolf @Catwoman69y2k @cyberlyra That term is still used (master/slave) in many other parts of the world ! and I think it's more to do with #English language being turned all topsy-turvy cos of the internet; earlier on terms like e-zines (magazines) were coined but I don't remember anyone coming up with something new for 'friends' on the internet (like penpals) ...
