Fair point.
I get the drives, by why the GPU? Not like that can reconstruct what it was used to calculate.

Don’t cooperate with fascists, ffs!
Lisp is a programming language and the syntax is (normal) polish notation.
Some noise, desaturation, maybe a few scan lines, add a date and runtime overlay and you’re probably most of the way there.
It doesn’t block nothing without payment, but it doesn’t block everything either, which makes it useless IMO.
Be aware that they use a freemium model. You’ll have to pay for their built-in ad blocker to be useful.
What’s next? Forcing people to buy articles in the supermarket? Forcing people to go to the cinema? Why is copyright law even applicable here??
The balkanization of video streaming.
It’s closed source. So it’s impossible to verify Facebook doesn’t have you pkey and goes MitM.
They say they don’t, but you can only take their word for it.
If your codebase is closed source there’s no risk of that happening, if it’s open source there’s nothing you can do about it.
Either way there’s no use worrying.
People want to travel to the USA still? Bizarre.
The reason I compare them to autocomplete is that they’re token predictors, just like autocomplete.
They take your prompt and predict the first word of the answer. Then they take the result and predict the next word. Repeat until a minimum length is reached and the answer seems complete. Yes, they’re a tad smarter than autocorrect, but they understand just as little of the text they produce. The text will be mostly grammatically correct, but they don’t understand it. Much like a compiler can tell you if your code is syntactically correct, but can’t judge the logic.
Getting an explanation is one thing, getting a complete solution is another. Even if you then verify with a more suited tool. It’s still not your solution and you didn’t fully understand it.
Or, and hear me out on this, you could actually learn and understand it yourself! You know? The thing you go to university for?
What would you say if, say, it came to light that an engineer had outsourced the statical analysis of a bridge to some half baked autocomplete? I’d lose any trust in that bridge and respect for that engineer and would hope they’re stripped of their title and held personally responsible.
These things currently are worse than useless, by sometimes being right. It gives people the wrong impression that you can actually rely on them.
Edit: just came across this MIT study regarding the cognitive impact of using LLMs: https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.08872
Not sure where you take the N from. Plus it’s needlessly derogatory. How about FMAGA instead? Because F MAGA!
What’s really wild is that people put up with this shit.
For me the straw that broke the camel’s back was finding out that
system32
is owned by the installer user and I’d have to jump through a bunch of hoops to make any changes there.And here people are like: “Sure, show me ads in the OS I bought.” While the apologists go: “You can disable those in the registry.”
I SHOULDN’T HAVE TO!
The moment I have to wrestle the OS for control over my computer it ceases to be useful and becomes a burden.
