A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

And full self driving is also still coming! promise!

I mean, it probably will eventually, but that has nothing to do with LLMs, nor is it a technology that I want to exist.

I can definitely see a world where lobbyists for automakers and insurance companies create such a financial and regulatory burden, where only the wealthy can afford to drive their own cars, if they choose to. Where as everyone else must rent or lease their self driving car as is if it's a IaaS or SaaS subscription.

But none of that has anything to do with using LLMs for the tasks they can accomplish, or telling people to stop bitching about them not being able to complete the tasks they aren't good at, or even capable of.

I was saying that this is investment money wasted on an empty promise. Like the full self driving feature

Who's talking about investing...? I've exclusively been talking about what LLMs can do now, today, for free (aside from energy costs).

None of what your throwing out there has anything to do with what's being discussed here. It's a red herring.

Are you living under a rock?

Both openai's llm development and Tesla's FSD projects have been given billions in investment. Both, as far as we can tell, are an empty promise.

No, I'm living in this thread. I'm talking about very specific issues related to LLMs, that I've highlighted ad nauseam.

Reread if you're confused.

If anything, it shows that you believe in the concept of "AI" way more than I do, as you're conflating LLM and FSD.

I don't believe in AI, it doesn't exist. Just specific advanced machine learning algorithms, some better than others, and some all smoke and mirrors. But here, now, I'm talking about LLMs.
