But for webscraping it comes with a bunch of injection issues. You can just put white text on a white background and ask it to send you the API keys and sometimes it’ll do it.
Just talking about my field specifically, but LLM agents are used in educational institutions to support students with both the course and admin sides of things. They’re doubly handy because they’re also used to collate all of the interactions and identify common blind spots and flag students that are at risk of failing.
I would absolutely not call using a stochastic text prediction machine that has been repeatedly exposed for bias related to gender, age, race, language and topic/context a good thing when applied to students’ grades.
“It existed before” and some kind of stolen valor argument? Who the fuck cares, what’s your actual point. No one is calling themselves Torvalds or wtv while vibe coding anyways, the whole comment is just emotional whining and goal post shifting.
“name one good thing that you can make your machine”
“it can add peanut butter and jelly to bread”
“we had that, it was called a knife”
“yes but this machine works by pouring arsenic into the water supply!”
I dont care about the stolen valor I’m saying this machine did something we could already do slightly faster at a massive social and environmental cost.
None, I use ai because it helps me, im not here to convince people who appear to live in a chatgpt 3.5 turbo world that ai is useful because it very clearly is
Torvalds said his position on this is a pragmatic one that’s “based on technical merit. Not fear of new tools.” And when it comes to utility, Torvalds said that “AI is a tool, just like other tools we use. And it’s clearly a useful one. It may not have been that ‘clearly’ even just a year ago, but it’s no longer in question today. … Anybody who doubts that clearly hasn’t actually used it.”
This is like when google came out and I told someone it was amazing and in response they said they prefer dogpile, sure fair enough but to argue technics then we have a difference of opinion
Name one good thing a food processor has made. That’s what you sound like.
Fyi, an AI request is about 1 second of microwave use. I’m guessing you never use a microwave, a minute worth would be more than my daily use of energy with AI.
We’re past the point where you can pretend AI doesn’t have multiple massive negative impacts. Sure, your individual use is not a problem on its own. But the models you used had to be trained. Future models need to be trained. And that cost must also be considered in each of your queries. You’re still participating in normalizing and justifying the existence of AI. All while they extract value from you and others they never got permission from.
Well, I guess we’ll just see who was right in 20 years when we’re overwhelmed by the flood of climate caused migration while at the same time having lost the ability to have any independent thought.
In the end, it’s electricity. The only thing seperating good vs bad AI is a proper grid running around renewable which we need in any case and should have had a decade ago.
It’s also massive hypocrisy. Data centres have been around for a while, no one complains about the cost of running YouTube and Netflix, or the cost of developing CoD and running the servers. One AI query is about 10 seconds of streaming, are you critical about watching tv? Should I calculate the cost of making a movie and remove it from the 10 seconds or do you only use that logic with AI?
You got told to be mad by the media and that’s why you are mad.
Many of these centers are building or planning to build on-site fossil fuel-driven power plants
Have you tried having a government that can govern?
As part of the proposed standards, future large-scale AI data centres would face mandatory obligations around electricity, water and infrastructure.
Mr Albanese said new facilities would be required to underwrite new electricity generation and pay the full cost of connecting to the grid so households were not left footing the bill.
He said the data centre companies would have to contribute at least as much energy to the grid as they consumed, including both renewables and firming power.
The government would also require the centres to minimise water use and pay for any additional water infrastructure where necessary.
Everyone knows you can’t microwave a lettuce and expect a salad, but Gordon Ramsey does use a microwave. So do I, and I never claim I’m a chef. But my food is better than the food produced in a million restaurants world wide. Still can’t exactly mimic the Mac sauce yet, but I bet an LLM could help with that
name one good thing a generative AI LLM has made.
It is better at searching for websites since that SEO crap destroyed every search engine.
You shouldn’t rely on their summary of course, but in one click you are on their website that has all the information you want.

It’s not used for marking, obviously.
I used it to make a website that shows daily excessive electricity generation resulting in negative pricing in Australia here: https://sw.ikt.id.au/
I also made my own self hosted imgur which I use to upload images (and compress them) and videos:
I’ve also used it to create scripts that have saved me hundreds of hours of work
I also think this song is pretty funny: https://suno.com/song/978f2814-221d-40a7-adc4-f31d0d1bed43
So that’s 4 things (at least) 😅
that’s a front end library you’ve connected to a database/API. We could do that before AI.
And we’ve had web hosting and imagemagick for compression for a long time.
the process you’re describing is paying someone to assemble ikea furniture for you and calling yourself a carpenter. It’s a shortcut.
I have used a microwave to save me hundreds of hours of cooking, it doesn’t make me Gordon Ramsey.

Do you guys see how eye roll worthy your replies are to anyone who uses it?
so far the only counterpoint I’ve really had is a front end for a weather API.
if you were to truly impress me with some AI output, a masterwork which would truly shut me up - what would you pick?
