Need to let loose a primal scream without collecting footnotes first? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful youāll near-instantly regret.
Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.
If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cutānāpaste it into its own post ā thereās no quota for posting and the bar really isnāt that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many āesotericā right wing freaks, but thereās no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iām talking redscare-ish, reality challenged āculture criticsā who write about everything but understand nothing. Iām talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyāre inescapable at this point, yet I donāt see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnāt be surgeons because they didnāt believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canāt escape them, I would love to sneer at them.
(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting thisā¦)
LessWronger puts in the work and determines that LLMs canāt spacially vizualize for shit, comments are like āwell youāre prompting it wrongā (paraphrased) as well as āwhy not pay experiences machinists to videotape what theyāre doing os their work can be automatedā
The article itself is worth reading for some insights in the challenges of using current āAIā (LLMs) to work in the real world.
āwhy not pay experiences machinists to videotape what theyāre doing os their work can be automatedā
none of these people had a job in manufacturing, or even possibly any real job, itās called CNC and there are way better tools for making it work than stochastic parrot
e: ok at least op is a machinist
Interestingly, many of these models also score at or above the level of some human experts on visual reasoning benchmarks like MMMU. That which is easy to measure often doesnāt correlate with real world usefulness.
benchmarks could be perhaps possibly fucked with? say it aint so!
My high level impression when reading the response is āsomeone who can parrot textbook knowledge but doesnāt know what theyāre talking aboutā.
with corpus consisting of toy problems only, and with solutions that depending on field can kill whoever uses these
The fact this commenter doesnāt mention the absolute fuckton of machining videos on Youtube tells me theyāre just talking out of their ass.
(not that forcing those into LLM slop would help but a hypothetical AGI would learn a lot)

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, recently worried about a world where only 30% of jobs become automated, leading to class tensions between the automated and non-automated. Instead, he predicts that nearly all jobs will be automated simultaneously, putting everyone āin the same boat.ā
Dario is delusional. We donāt even have self driving cars outside of a very small, very expensive demo in SF
Iāve got to acknowledge the sheer guts it takes to look at arguably the most predictable consequence of the cyberpunk dystopia youāre building and say ānah that wonāt happen because reasons.ā
