Or just ignore it

What Zahra says. I think she’s right. I could be wrong, I don’t have evidence I can use to support my position.

Could be. On the other hand, I agree with the article.

Enough is never enough

If you don’t believe me or you don’t get it, it doesn’t matter.

I can’t hold that against you, because you’re right. It’s more likely a random commentator is a troll.

So honestly it’s a fair assumption.

All’s well that ends well.

4.5 kind of changed everything.

Sure, and I agree there’s no ethical consumption, but I don’t see it as a flat line.

There’s more and less when it comes to ethical.

I don’t have a problem with you at all. I think you’re intelligent and I’m glad you post.

I like discussions and looking at things from different perspectives. I’m glad we interacted, I’m sorry if I was rude. I didn’t intend to be.

I could have worded that differently, I apologize.

They aren’t a replacement for somebody like me who doesn’t have a screaming GPU.

Yes they train on input. I don’t like it either. It’s not just creepy, but I’m sure breaks privacy laws everywhere.

Regardless, you’ve already decided who I am so I don’t see this conversation being productive.

I again apologize for not making my previous comment more straightforward.

Stop using Canadian banks. By using them you’re supporting them.

Use Wise, Wealth Simple, or a credit union.

That’s probably all I can call you without getting v&

network level adblocking! you’re after my own heart…

In fact, I kind of hope it upsets them.

If buying isn’t owning, piracy isn’t stealing. I’m a pirate through and through.

Why? Because I don’t respect capitalists. And I don’t care if they upsets them.

All jokes aside, Windows (pre ai) was filled with backdoors now. Still is, probably has more, but it never stopped them in the past.

CAREFUL! That’s borderline troll thinking.

Then they don’t read very much. They streisand effected themselves.

Not disagreeing with you, but Anthropic believes code is the path to AGI.

I want to be clear so somebody doesn’t have a fit - I do not personally believe LLMs are capable of AGI. But this isn’t about what I believe.

They believe that coding is the path because it’s verifiable and a generatable. Frontier AI companies aren’t training on the global internet anymore, it’s poisoned with AI slop. Non-frontier AI companies do, we’ve all seen it. But it’s my opinion that non frontier AI companies are basically all but irrelevant (I’m not talking about open source/hugging face). Anthropic knows this, and their idea (again, not mine, don’t get mad at me please!) is that by training on code their AI will get better at non-coding activities as well, and if they make it good enough at coding it’ll become truly intelligent in all ways.

What I’m getting at is, there’s lots of good reasons to avoid using LLMs/AIs/Companies that shove ai down my throat (looking at you Microsoft- I don’t fucking want copilot in my fucking notepad - if anybody from MS is reading this fuck your AI in everything and fuck your AI ridden operating system), but local LLMs are not a replacement for Opus and Anthropic isn’t scraping the open internet anymore. I’m sure they did at first though.

The biggest problem is when developers begin to depend on it too much without learning the nuance I couldn’t agree more. The brain is like a muscle, if you use it, it gets stronger. If you don’t, it gets weaker. “Vibe” coding is using your brain at a minimum, and if all you do is vibe out slop you’re not really learning much.

Fair. But keep in mind if you ever use auto translate, Netflix recommendations, Google search (or ddg), Windows, Mac, android. iPhone. Any service hosted on AWS (like 70% of all sites) you’re indirectly using ai.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m with out. But it’s unavoidable.
