LLMs?

Show

Started reading antirez's piece on how hating on LLMs is bad.

I'm mostly against tech on the principle that it centralizes power but it's always ever been this thing I read about not actually seen used at all. I honestly don't understand what people use LLMs for, so I'm not the greatest to judge this tech tbf, I opened chatgpt when it came out, didn't get it.

But reading the comments is what really flabergastblblred me the most, the way people talk about about this stuff it's like affecting every single facet of their lives, what do you mean you need a LLM to put something in your calendar or code for you. I think I'm starting to realize, it's just not something that'll intersects with my life at all, and everyone being enthralled by this thing that just doesn't want anything to do with me, is maybe partly why I hate it so much.

I have to think about it.. X(

@neauoire I don't think it's that complicated. LLMs are a universal symbol manipulator that are by now pretty much at the human level for the vast majority of tasks, and the most powerful ones cost $200 a month. No personal assistant, copy editor or programmer can compete with that, so it does indeed change everything.
