History is **littered** with technology that was "here to stay" and was going to "change the world". **AI ALONE** has gone through at least four cycles of this hype in my lifetime alone!

LLMbeciles, in specific, are going to die a horrible death as soon as the fiscal gloves come off and be relegated to tiny niches like all prior AI did.

But go ahead. Ignore history. I'll just grab the popcorn and watch.

The industrial revolution was about deskilling, removing power #labour used to have, and concentrating it in the hands of those who owned the machines

This is the same plan #AI industrialists have right now

It isn’t one bit worth to celebrate. No teacher worth their salt should be praising it

The #industrialrevolution plunged majorities of citizens into poverty for 4 generations before they took control back!

"U DON'T CARE ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT, UR JUST A HAAAAAAATER"

Smluvní podmínky a základní lidská slušnost mi zakazují vyjádřit mou nefiltrovanou reakci na tenhle debilní výrok.

And it's the same fight today.

For a lot of people the industrial revolution was catastrophic, bringing poverty, famine and early death. Trade unions, worker parties and communism were invented and revolutions staged. It took decades to fix the worst fallout of the industrial revolution.

Personally, I'd rather not have that happen in my lifetime but here we are.

"I understand you, and you understand me" - nope. You most definitely did not understand this https://dotnet.social/@SmartmanApps/116000100388648367

"Just as steam engines came first, then gasoline engines were invented, and now we drive electric cars" - all of which involve engineering, which requires correct answers to Maths, which AI is incapable of

Big claim - do you have any evidence for it?

You've been drinking too much of the techbro kool-aid.

I'm not sure how old you are but simply saying people don't want to learn new skills is extremely disingenuous. Maybe your parents are already retired and so they don't have to.

Whatever you say, there is no intelligence in AI. There are emergent properties of a complex system, but LLMs are essentially probabilistic word generators. Think about how you form sentences and thoughts. Your brain is not searching for the next most probable word to make a sentence that makes grammatical sense. It is looking to capture and transmit meaning.

"Colourless green ideas sleep furiously"

Given the economics involved, that seems unlikely. The amount of money being burned by the companies providing the large LLM models is truly astounding, and no, there is no easy path forward to significantly reduce the costs involved.

This is worrying. Not the tone-deafness or the misconceptions about AI, but the degree of separation between the top and the low levels *of the same institution dedicated to knowledge*.
