Gregory's Server@seachanger In this respect, LLM chatbots are just the latest sizzle that they are selling.
They've been selling "you don't need experts if you have our latest shiny tool" for decades. Maybe even since the 1970's

 @Elucidating @seachanger yes, as a tool for experts to use. That's a completely different thing from the AI Madness that's in the public eye right now. @RandomDamage @seachanger You are a "gamer" so please don't tell me that you think THAT linear algebra is good to use for mental masturbation, but THIS linear algebra must never be enjoyed by normies. @Elucidating @seachanger yeah. Bite Me. The marketing pitch is that you can replace expertise with AI. That marketing pitch is bullshit. @RandomDamage @seachanger Do you believe that will happen this time? We weren't even discussing "the marketing pitch" but you've pivoted to this because it's an easy target. Yes, categorically marketing pitches suck and are misleading. We agree. Can we go back to the subject at hand? @Elucidating @seachanger I literally came in on that. The algorithms aren't a problem, and can be quite useful But they are being oversold for things they can't do, and that is a problem @RandomDamage @seachanger Well then I totally agree there. 1000%. I came in on "we didnt' ask for it" (scientists sure did) and specific examples of these technologies being used for causes named like climate change or medical science. These conversations tend to get super charged. @RandomDamage @seachanger We already have committed to an internet anyone can join, and this is FAR more immediate responsibility than access to the average generative model. |
@RandomDamage @seachanger The generative tech is pretty damn relevant for DNA, and that's why we're seeing a lot of alternative models outside the current Transformer architecture with much larger context windows.
