@VD15@pl.valkyrie.world when first app stores appeared: cool, now the rest of the world can enjoy the QoL that are package managers now: it's time to stop

@asie I think, fundamentally, that a tool mimicking a cheap, very fast and very enthusiastic intern is a no-brainer, and the only considerations are the cost and any moral issues. Cost isn't high and moral issues are mostly made up by people mad that their jobs are being automated, so increasing adoption is only the matter of time and people realising they're fighting windmills.

@AmyZenunim except the people who would prefer Threads over fediverse instances to contact the rest of the fediverse are already not here. Them joining via threads and leaving via threads will make no difference.

Chinesium (ang.) - Chin (pol.) Przykłady:

• łańcuch z chinu
• chinowe ostrze
• stal chinowana

@pablo@mastodon.com.pl to właśnie "(de-)platformowanie" za to odpowiada. Ludzie, których uciszysz nie znikają w prawdziwym życiu, tworzą alternatywne platformy. I zamiast otwartej dyskusji gdzie czasem trafi się zjeb ale przynajmniej będzie miał okazję zobaczyć, co ludzie poza jego bańką sądzą i czemu, masz dwie praktycznie hermetyczne bańki. Jedną, gdzie "nasi" dzielnie klepią się po pleckach jacy to są moralnie wyżsi i nie platformują zjebów i nie rozumieją czemu ich liczba rośnie, i drugą, gdzie te zjeby mają swoje własne królestwo gdzie widzą tylko to co chcą zobaczyć, mówią tylko to co chcą usłyszeć i czują się dobrze ze sobą i wspierani przez "swoich".

• the funny thing about outsourcing anything anywhere is that if they want to do this work, it means it's a good offer compared to what choices they had otherwise. More power to them.
• the water issues are very funny: https://newsletter.semianalysis.com/p/from-tokens-to-burgers-a-water-footprint

if we assume a daily request number of 30 queries per day and an average output length of 375 tokens, we get to the conclusion that a single burger’s water footprint equals using Grok for 668 years, 30 times a day, every single day.

• what are you even on about, should we ban crayons because they can be used to draw CSAM?

@asie@mk.asie.pl

@dzwiedziu@mastodon.social it takes more skill to draw CSAM with a crayon than to create it in Photoshop, so at least we should ban Photoshop, right? You can pay Adobe to be able to more easily create CSAM after all, and anyone pointing out how ridiculous that line of thinking is surely just a pedo and a nazi apologist so you can pull out that instant win card on them too. Omitting mentioning OP because this is too pathetic to bother anyone with lmao

@asie@mk.asie.pl outside-hosting "frontier" LLMs is also infeasible for many cases. The market will settle on a decent proportion of price to performance, including the price of hardware, once the bubble pops. Open source has always survived or thrived despite lower manpower due to good co-operation practices and passion. Increasing effective productivity on both sides of the equation does little to mitigate that. The tools exist, and they are useful. Boycotting them is infeasible, it's like being mad at Photoshop in 2005 for being too efficient yet expensive and continuing to edit photos in Paint. Pushing open source projects to reject them only harms them by tipping the productivity scale even more not in their favour. And as for piracy and EU's law, EU has tried to tighten down copyright laws so much that just learning on many examples would give their authors partial copyright over your work before. It was not a good idea and was rightfully killed, with Poles leading the opposition, at that.
