  • Everybody keeps saying “<X> will be great Someday™” in the tech world. Only Someday Never Comes, does it?

    Full self driving by the end of this year. For the past who knows how many years, it seems. LLMbeciles will stop hallucinating sometime Real Soon Now™. Only the newer LLMbeciles hallucinate more than the older ones did. We’ll have humans on Mars by 2021 2022 2026 2028 2029 2031 2044 2046. We’ll have AI-powered humanoid robots doing our bidding in 2023 ???.

    And so on and so on and so on.

    So here’s the thing: until there is evidence of non-slip generative “AI”, just assume it will remain slop. Because that’s been the pattern of Silly Con Valley since the '90s.













  • Oh, I’m aware that “no assholes” is an impossible dream. But if I start seeing assholes and idiots increasingly attached to specific instances, it’s incentive to perhaps just drop that instance. Different instances have different moderation policies and different target communities. For example “hilariouschaos” is an instance for people who’ve never left that 13-year old sniggering stage where “bewbs” is a word with intrinsic hilarity. So I can axe them comfortably.
