Just like this “bubble” has supposedly been about to pop for years.

True, but their votes also make no difference in the grand scheme of things. The only thing that does make a difference is if your boss is the CEO of a big company that donates to politicians. But you can’t counter that.

That you’d bring up the minimum wage argument kind of shows exactly what I was talking about. Most people think this is remotely relevant and keep bringing it up as an argument when all it does is show how little they know of how economy works. This is the kind of people that got Trump in office, no thinking, just parrotting what feels good to say because they’d like it to be true.

The problem with that like I said is your opinions and beliefs become really shallow and you pretty much just swallow whatever you feel like believing. To actually make sense of politics takes a whole lot of time, though most people, even on lemmy, actually know really little of it. However everyone on this platform is super confident in their opinion, though they don’t seem to able to debate it at all.

This was the big issue with direct democracies. You can help the problem a bit with representative democracies or republics, but you still have people taking a few minutes or sometimes hours every couple years to vote for the one that sounds better to your ears. This is how you get someone like Trump as president. People can’t really be trusted with any decisions about something they know nothing about.

One person changes nothing anyway. What would my vote change in a 80% conservative region? I’d rather spend that time on things I enjoy.

*Bit of a different situation in the US, but the US isn’t the entire world.

You do realize most people can’t really afford to care about politics right? When you’ve got people to care for, a job to work, a house to maintain, hobbies to participate in to keep a sane mind, how much time do you really have to spend on politics? Because whatever amount that is, it’s not enough. All sides spend a huge amount on propaganda and to see through all that takes more effort than normal people can spare.

Besides, there are far more important things you could focus on other than politics. That might depend on where you live and how old you are, but most people out there just don’t see the effect of politics beyond the occasional headline and higher taxes/inflation. Why not then spend the time you would spend on politics doing something that has an actual impact?

This is lemmy, balanced takes are not allowed.

Lemmy has, the public has not.

Does it matter what year I used initially? It was a quick guess, and the context should have made that clear. I always go with 2023 because this is the year most people decided LLMs were dumb (rightfully so) and didn’t try them since.

Honestly, last year was still early, it had just begun to start thinking. LLMs only really got good ~6 months ago. With the current frontier though, not happening.

In 2023 maybe. These days, it’s not happening, terminal use is baked into their training, they do not search for it. The training quality is high enough that there’s no chance this goes through either. In reality, this is just hurting the beginners that will actually believe it.

Perhaps it could trick eg. google search’s builtin one though, but I don’t think anyone trusts it anyway.

Saves input tokens and uses more output because of OCR, and output is priced way higher.

Or so people have been saying for the past 3 years.

Probably cause it’s a dumb comment, you people see conspiracies everywhere.

And yet it’s LLMs doing these things, not only ML. People don’t cure cancer either, but the things that get close (eg. AAV viruses) are currently being done with LLMs.

Most people

Until you put down your phone, leave the house and realize nobody cares.

Blaming AI for “stealing your water” instead of the mayors who accepted those data centers is the most lemmy thing ever.

Except you’re part of the tiny minority that saw this and even tinier minority that cares. You’re not even a rounding error.

Sir this is lemmy. Most people here just follow whatever the echo chamber tells them to. Thinking or referencing reality is typically not advised.

Honestly if they hired someone who refuses to use AI in 2026 it’s on them.

That “AI” is a completely dumbed down one with reasoning disabled. Of course it’ll make stuff up.

I mean it’s fine, but development is only one part of engineering, which is why I don’t like the term.

Which is completely stupid, you can perform engineering without having paid the order and it doesn’t feel like there’s any other word that explains the job quite as easily.

Looking up synonyms though it seems I could legally call myself a “software mastermind”, “software plotter” or “software captain”.
