the promptfondlers that make their way into our threads sometimes try to brag about how the LLM is the only way to do basic editor tasks, like wrapping symbols in brackets or diffing logs. it’s incredible every time

me too. this heel turn is disappointing as hell, and I suspected fuckery at first, but the video excerpts Rebecca clipped and Conover’s actions on Twitter since then make it pretty clear he did this willingly.

also, fucking ew:

Needs to be put in it’s place like a misbehaving dog, lol

why do AI guys always have weird power fantasies about how they interact with their slop machines

given your posts in this thread, I don’t think I trust your judgement on what less annoying looks like

everybody’s loving Adam Conover, the comedian skeptic who previously interviewed Timnit Gebru and Emily Bender, organized as part of the last writer’s strike, and generally makes a lot of somewhat left-ish documentary videos and podcasts for a wide audience

5 seconds later

we regret to inform you that Adam Conover got paid to do a weird ad and softball interview for Worldcoin of all things and is now trying to salvage his reputation by deleting his Twitter posts praising it under the guise of pseudo-skepticism

I’m gonna do something now that prob isn’t that allowed, nor relevant for the things we talk about

I consider this both allowed and relevant, though I unfortunately can’t sign it myself

we sincerely hope not

it was some shitty follow-up to your joke so unfunny it made your post less funny just by being under it. pull this thread from mastodon and chances are you’ll see it if you really want to

anyway if you want a laugh, they threw a tantrum and reported your post because we deleted theirs:

their joke was in that exact tone too because they’re a comedy black hole

it’s really weird that this turned into a tantrum where you tried to report other users for their jokes???

wow, your posts really aren’t good

it’s weird your local AI told you fuck all about the labor movement whose name you’re using as an insult, but oddly enough I don’t feel like wasting my time explaining this quote unquote “tech takes” forum to the type of asshole we exist to sneer at

I wish that offline indexing and archiving were normalized and more accessible, because it’s a fucking amazing thing to have

and now we’re up to inaccurate, stochastic diff. fucking marvelous.

who in the fuck do you think you’re fooling. all of us have used LLMs for search, not by choice. it’s a garbage technology for that use case (and every other use case) and it didn’t take enshittification for it to get there — it is the enshittification.

they don’t verify any of it

to quote the new pope: holy christ shut the fuck up

we’ve all seen how well LLMs replace Google search and the product’s fucking unusable

a local search engine but shitty, stochastic, and needs way too much compute for “a few gb of documents”, got it, thanks for chiming in

nobody asked you to post in this thread. you came and posted this shit in here because the thread is very popular, because lots and lots of people correctly fucking hate generative AI

so I guess please enjoy being the only “non-disingenuous” bootlicker you know outside of work, where everyone’s required (under implicit threat to their livelihood) to love this shitty fucking technology

but most of all: don’t fucking come back, none of us Luddites need your mid ass

no thx
