I really can’t understand this LLM hype (note, I think models used for finding cures to diseases and other sciences are a good thing. I’m referring to the general populace LLM hype).

It’s not interesting. To me, computers were so cool and interesting because of what you can do yourself, with just the hardware and learning code. It’s awesome. What I don’t find interesting in any way is typing a prompt. “But bro, prompt engineer!” that is about the stupidest fucking thing I’ve ever heard.

How anyone thinks its anything beyond a parlor trick baffles me. Plus, you’re literally just playing with a toy made by billionaires to fuck the planet and the rest of us over even more.

And yes, to a point I realize “coding” is similar to “prompting” the computers hardware…if that was even an argument someone would try to make. I think we can agree it’s nowhere near the same thing.

I would like to see if there is a correlation between TikTok addicts and LLM believers. I could guarantee it’s probably very high.
