  • Current “AI” is actually shitty tho’.

    Any frozen weight models are architecturally unable to lean anything new, while dynamic weight models require entire datacenters to run for every instance. The scale of low-effort slop has crippled the internet as a knowledge source, and we are currently poisoning entire towns and the earth at large making up problems to solve.

    Look at Nvidia, look at Huggingface. Huggingface literally offers their AI detection right next to their AI obfuscation. Meanwhile Anthropic is constantly hyping bullshit. I just read the “J-Space” article, and holy crap, LLMs use hidden layers to encode and infer relarionships, wow. I thought this was the whole idea behind machine learning, but I guess, saying that won’t secure another billion dollars.

    The entire space is full of people without any idea what they are looking at, and with LLMs taking up all the space and money, actually good ideas, like probabalistic proteine folding, are tossed to the side.

    The only kinda good thing I see is Markdown making a comeback. And that’s just “good”, because I like Markdown.











  • There’s actually a lot of free stuff out there.

    Many blogs simply serve as a creative outlet for their authors. And there are plenty of tools that someone developed, others improved, and that still others put online, just because. And then there are a lot of peoples pet projects anyone can enjoy. All for free, because the only thing nicer that creating stuff is sharing that stuff.

    There are just also a bunch of assholes.
