    Consumer: buys next phone(and car) with the least amount of Ai possible

    Hey society!

    This is broken!

    This isn’t how capitalism works! We have to choose stuff with our wallets, not them with their investors.

    Fuck them, right?

    It always reminds me how serious people were trying to build steam powered aircraft. I imagine they had a bunch of “if we can just get some lighter material” kind of discussions right until some bicycle guys used an internal combustion engine to make history.

    I don’t get it. Who is claiming that if we build one more LLM we will solve AGI? Maybe I just live under a rock. Top comment here is saying people believe LLMs will “solve climate change.” Who believes that? I do not know what any of this is on about, I have never seen these people.

      People who don’t call the tech LLM and just refer to it by AI, that’s who

    AI is shit. Poor programming results in heavy errors and intrusive break ins during benign operations. Worst is that the corpos that adopt it shove it into your systems in a way that makes it unremovable

      Poor programming?

      I’m sorry, LLMs are shit for various reasons, but “poor programming” isn’t one of them. And I bring this up because branding it as such suggests there is a “good programming” LLM that doesn’t have the inherent problems that any such system would have. Which just isn’t a thing with the way LLMs work.

    just one more SSRI bro, i promise bro the next SSRI will work bro please i need one more SSRI bro Edit: okay, well maybe instead of insinuating that none of the SSRIs work, I should have claimed that all of them so many potentially crippling side effects, that prescribing these “medications” should be considered significantly more as an absolute last-resort solution - together with inpatient care - than be given out like candy as they are today. But I also understand that it is the cheapest option available, as the best option is therapy, which there are multiple of, all of them requiring quite a lot of time and work, all of which cost significantly more than what anyone is ready to pay. But that shit is long, so take it as you will

      no… that’s not how that works.

      But I also understand that it is the cheapest option available, as the best option is therapy,

      outcomes of both treatments combined are superior to outcomes from either alone. SSRIs are just a tool to help you retrain your brain more easily during the course of behavioral modifications, which a therapist typically helps you identify and implement

      they’re powerful which makes them difficult to use, i get it. finding the right medication can be exhausting, because you need to build up the drug in your body to have an effect and you need to titrate off to safely stop the drug. so it’s a long game of trial and error.

      But I can assure you that psych meds are ridiculously important for managing certain conditions.

      i really wish the fuckers who tote pharmaceutical population control conspiracies would just spend a weekend in the Before Times when people with mundane mental disorders by today’s standards were locked up and abused. yeah, totally randy, it’s lexapros fault your life is a mess, you’d be way better having a manic episode in 1700

        okay yeah, I think this might be the most sensible answer here. I myself tend to get “a bit” frothing at the mouth when it comes to these things, because of personal experiences. So sorry everyone, I got carried away.
