  • You’re still conflating the tech itself and business. The tech can exist without the business or without it being part of the core business model (Think, a smaller LLM to generate game dialogue (which imo (if done right) could be a very cool thing)) trained and shipped as part of a game

    LLMs are here to stay, but when the bubble pops many MANY businesses will not survive as we all know. But every bubble has its survivors and those will be the ones that actually use it for proper use cases that can actually turn a profit or use it to support or enhance other features that are part of their product (and I’m sure a few giant ones will survive just because of their size, though they’ll be damaged)

    There are also plenty of good open source LLMs that don’t depend on profits and business models, so that’s another reason LLMs are here to stay

    Though they will evolve im sure, new research and techniques will come and make them more useful


  • I think the hate needs to be properly directed towards the companies pushing it and not the tech itself. Because that’s pretty much here to stay.

    And it does have good utility, in tailored ways wielded by people who know what they’re doing (e.g. you should be an experienced programmer already so you can catch when it’s fucking up or just doing things on a weird way)

    Companies that use it over creatives (e.g. using it for ads or animation for a commercial product) can also fuck off and die







  • More like proto-social media, a key defining factor for modern social media is things like feeds and ranking of both comments and posts. Which even PF and Lemmy do, if however basic the algo is

    Traditional forums had the community and people could post content, but there was usually no ranking of posts or comments. Mostly just chronological order, with the exception of posts with the most recent replies being at the top of whatever category you were in

    Though I’m sure there probably was a few “forward thinking” large forums that did something with feeds that looked more like modern SM
