Thank you for the detailed response. Most opinions on this topic are very much so based on vibes rather than real experience, so it’s interesting to hear an informed opinion from someone on the inside.

I hope to become a software developer one day too (it’s a slow process, because I’m teaching myself in my free time) so I sometimes worry if all the effort I’m putting in is even worth it if LLMs will be doing all the programming in a few years. Do you think that’s a concern? Will these tools continue to develop to that point or are they hitting a wall, like some people are saying?

Wow, lasts 10+ years and has 3D capabilities. That sounds pretty good. What model is it?

Nor do I think they need an AGI to do this.

Yeah I guess theres a lot of interesting stuff we can do with AI without necessarily achieving AGI. What about programming? Even if we don’t get AGI soon, do you still think LLMs will be snatching up a sizeable chunk of programming jobs?

Interesting. Stuff like this makes me suspicious of the current LLM hype. I know it’s not necessarily language models per se being used by these vehicles, but still. If we were really on the cusp of AGI then I’d expect us to have at least cracked autonomous driving by now.

That’s interesting I wonder why it wasn’t working for me

Wow 97% is a lot. Interesting info tho thanks

Waymo really seems to be winning out over Tesla with the self-driving thing. I wonder how much of that is really just because Waymo cars have a remote human driving them in situations where a Tesla would just crap out

It didn’t work for me either. I wonder if it’s already been fixed. The Google team seems to be really on top of it wherever there’s public criticism of their AI models. I remember a post on hacker news pointing out a “what year is it” bug for Google search summary. It to get the problem fixed in like two or three hours or so

I think we’re highly unlikely to see a repeat of the 1983 gaming crash

What happened in 1983?

A protector is a good non-enshittified alternative to a smart TV

Some things are more public than others. DMs are technically ‘on the internet’ as well, but they aren’t indexable by a search engine.

How can lemmy avoid that fate, if it ever gets really popular?

Thanks for the info.

I don’t own an AI Thinkpad either, I’m just thinking ahead for when I eventually have to purchase a new computer.

What’s the linux experience like on a mac? Last time I tried to do that the sound didn’t work because Apple hadn’t released the firmware for the speakers

That sounds way beyond the average users technical expertise. But it sounds like it might work. If you manage to figure out how to do that please let me know

Reddit and Lemmy doesn’t have any thing that curates what you see based on your habits

I’m pretty sure Reddit curates the content of r/popular based on your browser history.

Loops too. It’s the fediverse version of TikTok. Would it also be illegal?

What kind of slander and misinformation are you talking about? (Genuine question)

I was being hyperbolic but the point is the article didn’t point any real negativity towards the users of big tech, just the corporations or CEOs or whoever behind big tech

That was literally my point. Some people bought electric cars because the could, not because they wanted to effect any social change.

Okay. Then don’t really see the relevance here. OPs point was clearly about trying to effect social change.

Is activity pub only used on Linux desktop apps? Can’t a Mac or windows user participate in mastodon?

I wasn’t trying to suggest that they couldn’t.

Fediverse use and Linux are separate issues.

Literally speaking they are different projects, but they are also similar in that they are both open source projects, often both FOSS, so the underlying philosophy behind their development is the same

product of Facebook. Google has poured Fons of money into FOSS development. Should we shun these tools?

Shunning doomscrolling is not the same thing as categorically shunning everything that Google or Meta has ever output. I think its great they contribute to open source projects, I hope they do continue to do so

Op posted create a completely false us v them narrative that just isn’t there.

Personally speaking I didn’t find OPs post to be especially divisive, it I didn’t make me feel compelled to go harm some Windows users or anything like that, but your mileage may vary
