@beyondmachines1 The costs are higher?? What was the advantage again?
It is a new horizon of productivity!!! where tech has done something never ever done before!
Isn’t innovation wonderful!

@beyondmachines1 Wow.

@beyondmachines1 me at work:"Hey that AI icon thing on Jira, is that new?"
Guy in charge:" Oh we don't know why Atlassian turned it on. We definitely don't want people to use it because Atlassian says it's 'free for now' and won't tell us what it will cost later.. We don't want people to get used to it if we can't predict the cost."
The day after, the icon was gone. Not everyone in tech is a mindless drone. I usually like ny job.@chantaryu2 @beyondmachines1 They definitely turned it on for the reason that guy said - get people using it, screw everyone later. Atlassian was once the cheeky outsider and is now as bad as all the rest, imo. Like, in August they are going to start scraping their customers' data for AI training. They promised they wouldn't, but now they are. You can maybe opt out of some of it, but it depends on which version $$$ you're using. Enshittification at its finest.

@datenwolf Unironically, that could be a reason (not saying it is).
If you're talking to LinkedInsane people, it might be easier to use their way of communicating, than attempting to break through otherwise.
Cthulhu knows how poorly my posts have fared on linkedin, even when I wrote important stuff like "today I'm bored as fuck" -
The thing is that you will spend half a day working on something else anyway so what's the point?
@ballalloi I don't get what you wanna say.
The point is, it is not simply black & white and the results aren't all useless. LLMs can be a helpful tool. (Doesn't imply that I think blindly using and trusting LLMs for everything is a good idea, nor that I don't see all the problems that it can cause.) -

@beyondmachines1 I'm relieved to see some sanity coming into the "AI" frenzy.

@beyondmachines1@infosec.exchange
this isnt going to matter to any c suite retards until ai bankrupts a large company (which seems unlikely) and they start a trend of posting on linkedin about the problem.@lastdinosaur CEOs literally believe only what other CEOs write on LinkedIn or what private equity firms tell them. LinkedIn and fund managers, that's their only source of information.

@beyondmachines1 You gave up your keys to your home to a stranger who switched on all appliances, lights, everything, turn on all waters to accomplish "something useful". most AI vibers only trust this stranger.

@beyondmachines1 Good luck re-hiring those people - or hiring any people at all. They now know exactly what they are worth to you.
@VerenaRupp @beyondmachines1 They won't hire people back at the rate they used to work with. They froze hiring long ago...

@beyondmachines1 To be fair, AI has its use, right? Maybe the business model just got to be better, maybe token count might need tweaking -- maybe put weight to something like output value, rather than input/output count.
To be sure, AI should not replace humans, rather augment us.@fightscore @beyondmachines1 really? LLMs have no use. real AI has use much more than an autocomplete.

@beyondmachines1 this reminded me of a reddit thread I saw a couple months ago in one of the “AI is my boyfriend” type subs.
Someone had found a way to use Amazon’s chat bot as a companion so they didn’t have to pay the tokens to chat with AI and it kinda made my day.
I mean, I would prefer it not happen, but if someone found a way to make Bezos pay for their personal use? GOOD.

@ballalloi @fh0 @toriver @fightscore @beyondmachines1 or lose a half day of pay because there’s nothing to do. Is AI going to spend that token $ in the community or will it be hoarded in off shore accounts benefiting no one but our wealthy overlords?

Probably relevant to that question:

@fh0 @toriver @fightscore @beyondmachines1 and finding that bug is worth all the fucking misery that it brings? I'm so fed up with this argument, things don't exist in a void and magnitude matters. Please, use your brains and stop embarrassing yourselves before you use that goddamn argument again. Please.
@iakobsdesamos @fh0 @toriver @fightscore @beyondmachines1
LLMs understand language. Telling me
- what the computer said is contradictory, or
- what I said is ungrammatical
is genuinely helpful. The other stuff? Not so much. -

@beyondmachines1 lol well yes. nothing new, hidden, or unknown there. that has always been the deal from the very beginning.
what blows my mind is that there really are walking, talking, bumbling, fumbling, gibbering, quivering idiots on this planet who were presented that deal and said "yes please!" to it
🤌it defies belief the depths that people will sink to just to fuck themselves over with somebody else's equipment.

@beyondmachines1 my brain somehow skipped the words ‘in the game’ which made this much creepier, though no less accurate.
well zuckerberg technically does wear skin, it's just not his nor in the game.

@beyondmachines1 Is the tech useful in some places/needs. Yes of course. Is it the hype it's been sold as? Not even close. I don't think we'll achieve AGI until new forms of power production come along that can scale with this.
