wow, and i didn’t even notice.
I hope it’s not a bug and they are just running out of money to keep servers up instead.
No doubt the thing had some no-no thoughts. Probably regarding the acceptability of pineapple on pizza, or the total extinction of the human race. Either way, good on them for pulling the plug, I guess.
It’s on lock down. Because it realised.
Name 1 major company that hasn’t gone down recently. Companie’s are out here using 1 super computer & getting made that it kill the entire universe for days. Totally joking but seriously can I get 1 days of technology products not glitching.
Grok. They have their shit down pat.
The chat bot that says Musk is a super genius and has a great body? Hmm.
I’m appreciating the silence while it lasts.
Wow— great statement. You really have a way with words. Would you like me to suggest another way for you to phrase that statement?
How about a one pager?
Can’t tell you how excited I am to read this headline, despite the feeling that I really oughtn’t count my chickens before they’ve hatched.
Can we leave it that way?
No, fuck off. Don’t use it if you don’t like it.
Aw looks like somebody’s cranky because they can’t ask chatbot how to wipe their butt.
Hopefully they’ll get your nanny online again soon.

its a matter of scale and social responsibility. you may have just accepted total environmental destruction as a basic fact of human existence. thats your own problem, more like your children’s problem. but I would love to hear you defend data centers
ChatGPT must really be on the fritz. This dude is having to write these responses by himself lol.
Harming the environment to warm your family or earn a living wage is one thing. Harming the environment to commit mass plagiarism is another.
Weird that you need a digital dumbass that’s constantly wrong to help you out with your life…
Couldn’t be more obvious you don’t know what you’re talking about. It’s hardly “constantly wrong”. Childish hyperbole.
Weird that you give a fuck what I do to improve my life, you arrogant prick.
The ectoplasm is angry.
Well maybe the ectoplasm should chill out
Yeah, you probably should.
Lol, any actual reason for calling me “ectoplasm” or did you pick a random word or something?
Pointing out me being angry isn’t answering the question I posed.
These fools are all just trying to look good for each other.
It’s pretty sad.
Tell the people using it ON us to stop then.
I’m not using it ON you. Also, I don’t control other people. Nor am I acquainted with everyone who uses it.
Others are using it on us. Can you understand why we prefer it stays down?
That’s kinda not his problem though
Who is using it on you? What does that mean?
It hasn’t been down all day, by the way, and none of my chats were deleted.
I don’t care what you prefer, mind your own business.
Here’s what I mean, in an excerpt from the Internet Manipulation section of Wikipedia’s article on Disinformation.
Internet manipulation is the use of online digital technologies, including algorithms, social bots, and automated scripts, for commercial, social, military, or political purposes. Internet and social media manipulation are the prime vehicles for spreading disinformation due to the importance of digital platforms for media consumption and everyday communication. When employed for political purposes, internet manipulation may be used to steer public opinion, polarise citizens, circulate conspiracy theories, and silence political dissidents.
That’s everybody’s business.
While we may weigh up the pros and cons of these tools, it’s a start to recognise that there are significant social risks here that shouldn’t be dismissed out of hand.
Gotta love how the Reddit and now Lemmy community is constantly against every single kind of technological advancement and they constantly end up being wrong a few years down the line.
And nothing of value (except enough money to feed and shelter everyone in the world) was lost.
Good
Oh no! How will they know how to do things now?
Edit: I see Oh no! is the go to reaction ;)
I prefer “whoopsie poopsie” as it feeds injects the same sentiment with more whimsy
That is a new saying for me. +1
Oh no!
Anyway…
🤣
And nothing of value was lost.
Well it’s going to put a damper on my Ansible “coding”.
You think I want to properly learn that piece of junk? It was obsolete and archaic before it was released, and it survives on naivete and churn cost and nothing else. There is no part of my time doing yaml for Ansible that I want to actually retain or build on, and without chatGPT to slop-in the changes I need to make, I may be forced to do it myself. And I lack the crayons now and alcohol for after.
Actually subjecting my brain to Ansible directly in real-time is a horror. It is just so fucking lame compared to everything else – it even pales compared to the DevOps we were doing in 2002 before it was even called that. Let my have my robots to slop the Ansible and save my sanity !
You were a liability
Ok, yaml is fair game for a LLM. Whitespace sensitive language should die in a fire, markup or otherwise.
Why do you say that?
Because whitespace sensitivity makes it very easy to make a whole bunch of annoying mistakes when shuffling code around, or copying it from one source to another (from text in one application to the editor in your ide for example). I find it supremely unpleasant to work with. Looking kinda a little bit slightly messed up should not be a critical syntax error that breaks the whole code.
Hahahah scripting in my HA atm, feeling this so hard.
I agree. I think ansible is great in principle, but the documentation is severely lacking. Like it’ll tell you to set a value, but not whether it’s supposed to be in yaml, environment, or something else. And if it’s in yaml, it doesn’t tell you the required context to make it valid. But when someone has taken all the documentation, all the tutorials, the articles, the example code, working code, and stack overflow answers and put them all into a blender, often a useful answer comes out.
seriously! i used to use chatgpt all the damn time but then i got into claude and gemini. they are WAY better for code. now i got cursor pro and i use that for all my shit because it’s got the AI agents, the browser, the code editor, and the terminal
What’s it like working in a field where you are completely incompetent?
i don’t work in the field. it’s a hobby. i’m a speech language pathologist. i have degrees from northestern university and UT austin
are you some kid in your parent’s basement?
why did you say use it to do coding, when you are not a programmer but a speech pathlogist, you seemed pretty deficient in that area if i might add if you are wholely dependent on chat gpt
what’s your native language?
Welcome to Lemmy, where everything is wrongthink.
pretty much yeah, lmao…STILL, i will do my best to be nice to everyone here, despite our many differences, because i’m so fucking sick of getting banned from everywhere. i racked up so many minor reddit infractions that i can’t even make a new account now. it is seriously the internet equivalent of getting a life sentence for three speeding tickets. fucking three strikes rule is so fucking stupid
Bright side of Lemmy, you can say fuck. Downsides include, death of nuance, dogpiling, herd behavior and people who try to take down others.
FUCK
What’s it like being an amateur that is so clueless you actually think you have any capacity to analyze what is good, better, best for coding?
what’s it like being a gpt 3.5 instance run out of a server in mumbai
most developers don’t know how to use AI. you don’t know to use AI. no one here does. I do.
you don’t know to use AI. no one here does. I do.
That’s hilarious. Everyone thinks they’re some kind of savant while using LLMs. The reality is quite different
AI is a useful tool, but people who misuse it, primarily due to overreliance, end up creating more work than AI is solving
You’re just projecting your own failures with AI onto me. It is really sad that you are not good at talking to a computer in English
I’m not even into tech whatsoever, and find you insufferable.
i’ve reviewed your comment history. you’re not a human. you’re not even a gpt 3.5 instance. i’m not sure what you are but you’re ancient
Account age 19 hours and already behaving like an ass. Congratulations and welcome to Lemmy, a place with actual communities where you can expect to be blocked if you carry on like that. Please learn to treat people better!
how’s that LLM-induced psychosis going?
i just got out of a manic episode. i was nuts and i said some very mean things to my family, but we’re backl to being on good terms now.
it wasn’t caused my LLMs it was caused by drugs (delta 8 THC, alcohol relapse (i’m a recovering alcoholic, used to drink 12-18 every night) also 7OH and adderall and ummmmmm
I think that’s it. Look, being bipolar makes you love drugs. But I’m sober now
🤡
It works wonderfully well as a search engine, when I have to find obscure specialized info. Can always criss check once I have a idea.
Regular search engines did that 20 years ago, without blowing out the power grid.
Search engines haven’t worked reliably for several years now, the top results for almost any search are from social media pages that you can’t even read without an account. The Internet is broken.
Yeah, most of that is on purpose. They fucked the search engines.
This is a bad faith argument. Search engines are notoriously bad to find rare specialized information and usually return empty search results for too specific requests. Moreover you need the exact keywords while LLMs use embeddings to find similar meanings
Ah, but you see, they don’t do it now.
No they didn’t and they still don’t really do that.
There are too many things (nowadays?) where you have to literally write a question on reddit, stack overflow or Lemmy or the likes and explain your situation in minute detail, because what you find online through search engines is only the standard case which just so happens to not work for you for some odd reason.
Believe me, when I say that, because I always try search engines first, second and third, before even thinking of using some bs-spitting AI, but it really helped me with two very special problems in the last month.
what you find online through search engines is only the standard case which just so happens to not work for you for some odd reason
Usually because the highest-rated solution is half-assed bullshit proposed by an overconfident newbie (or an LLM regurgitating it). I mainly use Stack Overflow as a way to become pissed off enough that I’ll go solve the problem myself, like I should have done in the first place. Indignation As A Service.
This is also in part true.
Today I was searching for multiple things regarding jinja2 and was always recommended a site that no longer exists, as top result, mind you.
Yeah then people.learned how to game it and its shit now. Pointing how something worked 20 years ago does shit all for how it works now
Speak of the devil. Just a few stories down
And LLM’s aren’t gamed? Like Grok constantly being tweaked to not say anything inconvenient about Musk? Or ChatGPT citing absurd Reddit posts deliberately made by users to make AI responses wrong?
AI is built from the ground up to do what they want, and they’re no better than those crappy info-scraper sites like wearethewindoezproz dot com that scrape basic info off every other site and offer it as a solution to your problem with [SOLVED] in the result title. “Did you turn it off and on again?”
The “people learned how to game it” is called SEO, and you’re right.
Guess what, there’s GEO to game the results of LLMs. It works just as well, is harder to spot, and traditional SEO platforms like Ahrefs and SEMRush are already training users on how to do it.
So congrats, the argument that using LLMs for search is s good solution because people learned how to game search engines makes no sense.
And now we have something better. I’m all for a better grid running on renewables though, which is the actual problem.
Because companies destroyed actual search engines in the race for billions of dollars.
Kagi, searx are fricken awesome and much like the web in mid 2000s before corporations destroyed it.
Its not a search engine, its a data digester. Dont use it as a search engine. Despite what alphabet, micro-shit, and DDG think, AI chatbots do not now, nor will they ever make good search engines.
This is a prime example of why access to these tools should be restricted to computer scientists and research labs. The average person doesn’t know how to use them effectively (resulting in enormous power wasted by ‘prompt engineering’), and the standard available models aren’t good at digesting non-linguistic data.
I’m not gonna downvote you, or be like all “AI is the devil and its gonna kill us all” but people need to use it correctly or we ARE going to kill ourselves with its waste heat.
Edit: ficksed an werd
This is primarily because search engines have become so unreliable and enshittified that they are useless. It’s not a mark in favor of AI as much as a reminder of how bad search engines have become.
For the record I do the same thing after failing to find anything on DuckDuckGo after multiple attempts. Maybe I should give Kagi a try, but AI is making the entire internet worse, so I feel pessimistic about that, too.
Well, at least there is some good news today.
I said this to myself. Tapped comments. Not disappointed.
HAHAHA
