And when the current senior programmers retire the field of juniors that are coming to replace them will be much smaller.

Okay, but like-

You could just be lying.

You could even be a chatbot, programmed to hype AI in comments sections.

So I’m going to trust studies, not some anonymous commenter on the internet who says “trust me bro!”

Mostly connections and luck based on the trash I hear that’s somehow popular.

The recent Medicaid cut to make a few hundred billionaire friends happier/richer was terrible propaganda. Doesn’t that contradict your point?

Imagine living in a world without being voluntold to do overtime every week.

People are organizing in their communities to patrol for ICE and respond to ICE raids, which is quite a bit like the Black Panthers “cop watch” and community patrols.

I know it’s not like when protesters burned down a police station in 2020, but things are happening.

You literally called it borderline magic.

Don’t do that? They’re pattern recognition engines, they can produce some neat results and are good for niche tasks and interesting as toys, but they really aren’t that impressive. This “borderline magic” line is why they’re trying to shove these chatbots into literally everything, even though they aren’t good at most tasks.

Nothing that has been demonstrated makes me think these chatbots should be allowed to rewrite human history what the fuck?!

Looks like patients that receive hemodialysis treatment have lower pfas levels, so that actually might be viable!

I know pfas levels are immediately lower after the donation. I’m not under the impression that pfas levels stay low for very long i.e. long enough to safely donate blood again.

Plasma donations can be done more frequently, though, so that might be actually effective way to reduce contamination.

But, it’s kind of messed up that we’re donating contaminated blood and/or plasma. Is that good for the people that use our blood? Who knows!

There are other ways to lower the amount of plastic in you. If you donate your blood you can measurably lower your pfas levels. Really just removing blood which carries plastic through your whole body will also lower your concentration of plastics.

I’m pretty sure regular blood letting is actually not great for you either.

No, it’ll go the way of carbon emissions i.e. the world “knowing” the problem but not taking action except for useless emissions targets that we blow past constantly.

You ever notice how every other animal manages to survive without water bottles? It was like that for most of human existence, before we figured out water skins and wooden cups and clay jugs.

Revolution.

First you say “you’re not mad a GenAI as a technology, you’re mad at Capitalism” and then when I agree with you you move the goal posts to argue against it? Are you just arguing for its own sake?

It’s like I never left Reddit!

Talking to you was a mistake. You’re just trying to “win” the conversation, you don’t actually care about anything I have to say.

I’m done. You can have the last word.

And you can’t separate the technology from it’s historical and material context. We could say “capitalist LLMs” instead of just “LLMs” every time we talk about the technology, but is that useful?

The problem is capitalism, but the technology was produced under capitalism and you’re using this technology under capitalism. So, a distinction without a difference.

Yeah, and all it requires is for poorly paid workers in Kenya to be tortured and forced to watch CSAM all day.

So you don’t find something else to do.

You talk about research, so I’m curious: has any nonviolent campaign succeeded without an accompanying violent campaign?
