    What is your definition of reasoning?

    It’s not shoving AI slop into it again to get a new AI slop? Until it stops, because it reached the point where it’s just done?

    What ancient wizzardry do you use for your reasoning at home if not that?

    But like look, we’ve had shit like this since forever, it’s increasingly obvious that most people will cheer for anything, so the new ideas just get bigger and bigger. Can’t wait for the replacement, I dare not even think about what’s next. But for the love of fuck, don’t let it be quantums. Please, I beg the world.

        It’s a bit fucking expensive for a grammar tool.

        I get that it gets logarithmically more expensive for every last bit of grammar, and some languages have very ridiculous nonsensical rules.

        But I wish it had some broader use, that would justify its cost.

            But that won’t happen, since the bubble rose on promises of gorillions of returns, and those have not manifested yet.

            We are so fucking stupid, I hate this timeline.

              I work in this field. In my company, we use smaller, specialized models all the time. Ignore the VC hype bubble.

                There are many interesting AI applications, LLM or otherwise, but I’m talking about the IT bubble, that grows so big it will finally consume the industry. If it ever pops, the correction will not be pretty. For anyone.

                I evaded the BS for now, but it feels like I won’t be able to hide much longer. And it saddens me. I used to love IT :(

      Most of us have no use for quantum computers. That’s a government/research thing. I have no idea what the next disruptive technology will be. They are working hard on AGI, which has the potential to be genuinely disruptive and world changing, but LLMs are not the path to get there and I have no idea whether they are anywhere close to achieving it.

        Surprise surprise, most of us have no use for LLMs.

        And yet everyone and their gradma is using it for everything.

        People asked GPT who would the next pope be.

        Or which car to buy.

        Or what’s a good local salary.

        I’m so fucking tired of all the shit.
