  • Even LLMs in the context of coding, I am no programmer - I have memory issues, and it means I can’t keep the web of information in my head long enough to debug the stuff I attempt to write.

    With AI assistants, I’ve been able to create multiple microcontroller projects that I wouldn’t have even started otherwise. They are amazing assistive technologies. Many times, they’re even better than language documentation themselves because they can give an example of something that almost works. So yes, even LLMs deserve the amount of hype they’ve been given. I’ve made a whole game-server management back-end for ARK servers with the help of an LLM (qwen-coder 14b).

    I couldn’t have done it otherwise; or I would have had to pay someone $60k; which I don’t have, and which means the software never would have existed.

    I’ve even moved onto modifying some open source Android apps for a specialized camera application. Compared to a normal programmer, sure - maybe it’s not as good. But having it next to me as an inexperienced nobody allows me to write programs I wouldn’t have otherwise been able to, or that would have been too daunting of a task.



  • Go look at the models available on huggingface.

    There’s applications in Visual Question Answering, Video to Text, Depth Estimation, 3D recreation from a photo, Object detection, visual classification, Translation from language to language, Text to realistic speech, Robotics Reinforcement learning, Weather Forecasting, and those are just surface-level models.

    It absolutely justifies current levels of hype because the research done now will absolutely put millions out of jobs; and will be much cheaper than paying people to do it.

    The people saying it’s hype are the same people who said the internet was a fad. Did we have a bubble of bullshit? Absolutely. But there is valid reason for the hype, and we will filter out the useless stuff eventually. It’s already changed entire industries practically overnight.








  • Well that’s plenty of proof that you didn’t read anything about Viktor Orban at all. There was nothing about my previous reply that had anything to do with biden - not a single parallel at all. In fact, nobody of note has ever made any similar claim about Biden whatsoever. Thanks for taking the mask off. Have a great day.

    Look up Viktor Orban and how he successfully dismantled Democracy in Hungary. The plan has already been laid out, and it’s being followed precisely.

    Seriously – the parallels in that journey are shockingly similar.

    The US is as weak as ever as we have a stacked system due to Republicans following the same playbook, and slowly tipping the scales over the time using gerrymandering and whatever they can manage to pull off, any time they can manage to pull it off. We’re seeing less and less people responsible for more and more power. Our supreme court has ruled that the president is immune from prosecution, etc.

    There are plenty of additional examples, but the only way you’re arguing what you’re arguing is if you haven’t been paying attention. If you want more, feel free to look up Project 2025
