My trades friends don’t use AI, one of them doesn’t even know the names of any of the models.

My wife first heard about LLMs this year. She’s never used one, she’s never seen anyone use one, she doesn’t know anyone who has used one. She’s an engineer.

Lemmy leans way too heavily towards tech workers. There is a whole world of people that have literally nothing to do with our field and the trends inside it. They know nothing about it, they’ve no interest in engaging with it, it’s completely useless to them.

My wife’s company recently adopted using Active Directory for managing users.

EDIT: To take it a step further, I work adjacent to OEM manufacturers for industrial control systems. Half of our customers are running windows 98.

This is an odd distinction to draw. What do you mean by done in this case?

The CPC much more closely controls their internal markets so the fact that companies are not doing the whole “circular investment” game is a direct result of policy decisions made by the CPC rather than companies in China just sort of “deciding” not to hop on the band wagon.

The CPC didn’t send a task force to fight the money demons but they did implement policy that led to this state of affairs, which is what they’re supposed to do.

Not sure about the person you responded to’s specific context but the US sells energy on energy markets. Primarily to neighbors.

Yeah, basically this. Let’s be real,“Good Form” is soft core porn

The key to insulation is have less.

Organisms in the wild don’t out last their oponnents by expending energy better or being bigger, stronger. They win by being harder to kill, needing less.

Buy less, own less, need less. Got a big house? Sell it. Got two cars? Fuck you, sell both, buy a beater.

My family has cash, a shack, and enough liquidity and explosives to last a year.

I think he’s more referring to a kill happening via an alignment problem

More “paper clip factory” than “T-1000”

This might be the greatest thing I’ve ever read

Oh lovely, time to move all of my stuff over to something else

I truly wonder at what the solution is. As LLM generated text gets to the point of being not just visually but statistically indistinguishable from legitimate traffic we won’t be able to rely on mass scanning like we have.

Perhaps an architectural problem? I imagine smaller social communities with human vetting for entrance? Am I just describing the fediverse?
