    remember when sci show made a video about transgender HRT without consulting any transfem people and there was actually harmful misinformation in the video about feminising HRT and then they didn’t delete it for a year and did a half assed apology and nobody cared enough to write news stories about it? i remember

    I watched a knitting youtuber do a takedown of him. She was almost too charitable in saying that she thought he was redeemable, but, yeah, I don’t watch his stuff despite how yt tries to force it down my throat

    I need to come to terms with the fact that the level of dopamine I’ve been getting from interacting with LLMs…with doing more and more and more and more…is not healthy for me or good for the world.

    I really don’t get that. What’s exciting about working with LLMs? It’s honestly one of the most boring things you can do on a computer once you are over the novelty of the computer doing stuff it’s not explicitly programmed for.

      Same mechanism as addiction: you get dopamine when you hit enter and wait to see if you have a winner. If you’re not prone to gambling addiction it’s easier to tire of the things.

        For me it’s like playing that Stanley Parable mini game where you have to press the button to keep the baby from crawling into the fire.

        But the visuals are closer to the Severance MDR job than 3D graphics.

      He also did some both-sides “‘israel’ isn’t bad” crap post-genocide.

      Never liked him. He’s everything a redditor is. Smug, arrogant, confidently incorrect with his research.

    He describes it as useful for quickly accessing scholarly papers, and—more troublingly—for giving himself frequent hits of “dopamine,” …

    Yeah it’s this again, people hype up this technology for how fast and efficient it is. Speed and efficiency is completely irrelevant if there’s no substance, anyone who builds their identity around extracting the labor of others is stuck in a colonialist cuck mentality.

    Dude decided to get lazy and jumped into the deep end despite doing anti-AI stuff in the past. I’ve been trying to improve my cooking recently and the amount of times AI tries to jump in and answer my question for me makes it more difficult for myself to actually learn. As time goes on it’s more and more invasive and the best solution is to just not go near it at this point because it makes it too easy. Nobody is immune.

    The last I saw of this loser he did some video with an expert and steamrolled the shit out of her the whole time. Just taking over her about how he looked up X and Y when she’s an expert in that field. He was always an obnoxious twat, but that was revealing of just how much of a shit he is.
