• Until AI boosters are mercilessly persecuted like script kiddies of yore open source won’t get better. Codeberg has the right idea.

• Firefox actually picked up on good improvements at around the same they started with the AI stuff. Tab groups and vertical tabs were something people wanted forever and they implemented excellently. Firefox does have HDR.

  I don’t know if firefox is slower than chromium in benchmarks or something but it’s certainly not noticeable to me in real usage.

  By all means criticize AI features, but please don’t lie about everything else.

  path a: toggle “block AI enhancements” which turns them all off and blocks future ones by default. You can scroll down and enable specific ones if you like even with block on

  Path b: scroll down and disable the specific ones you don’t want

• I think it has some uses for people that can utilize it intelligently, but what what I’ve actually observed is it that it lets incompetent people look like they’re doing more work while making more work for others.

• Is not the whole schtick with the genie wish that it technically follows the wish but distorts the intention? LLMs aren’t even guaranteed to do that. You could say “don’t delete this file” and it may still end up doing exactly that.

• No. People saying “x is happening” then getting indignant when asked for proof they don’t have and insisting they should be allowed to say “x is happening” anyway is spreading FUD. Just tell the fucking truth? How hard is that? Are you being obtuse on purpose?

• Watched the first bit. It mentions at ~10:45 that it is possible and shows some random internet chatter, which I think can only be construed as heresay as long as no one like these guys are actually replicating it. Is there more later?

  “It is possible” is a concern, but people have been saying “it is happening” without any credible evidence or reproduction for years now.

  If it was really happening you would have privacy YouTube/bloggers reproducing it instead of an urban legend from reddit, don’t you think?

• The day when it doesn’t crush the environment

  Why should we indulge your hypothetical? They’re actively building fossil fuel powered data centers so it’s not even moving in that direction.

  And most tech literate people that are anti-genAI would also prefer if it didn’t completely usurp the term AI or that everything historically called ML got also got sucked in. You’re acting like anti people made that happen but it was the boosters and now AI=chatgpt is in the common lexicon. Nitpicking their language when you obviously know damn well what they mean is just silly.

• find that their peers are achieving more in a shorter time then they are

  I’ve been reading this for 3 years and all I’ve seen so far is my peers making more work for me by going on wild goose chases and making me wade through slop. I do believe there are ways to use it responsibly and productively but that is definitely not what is happening on average.

  I don’t understand why so many people decided to take “LLMs increase productivity” as an axiom instead of using their fucking eyes and looking at what is happening around them.
