good lord, I barely get to look at the sub for a few weeks and a whole fresh new era of people too short for the ride show up

    On a wider front, I expect machine learning as a whole will see its funding go down the shitter once the AI bubble bursts - useful ML applications are losing funding in favour of magical chatbots, and the stench of AI is definitely wafting all over it as well.

    For an off-the-cuff prediction, I expect the number of AI/ML researchers to steeply drop in the coming years, from funding for AI/ML drying up post bubble, and from researchers viewing the field as too tainted to touch.

    It will stick around in the form of general use cases, and specially trained sets.

    So Boston Dynamics for instance is training their human robots to move like humans based on specially trained sets for instance.

    Yep. Terrible at many things, very good at others. At the end of the day, very useful technology.

    Just as my grandmother always used ti say, "You can't use a knife to beat an egg but you can fuck a player up with it." RIP Gammy. She was the sweetest.

    There's value in the underlying theory of machine learning. ML models are exceptionally good at sifting enormous amounts of data so long as you're cross checking outputs - which sounds like doing the work anyway, except now you know what to look for and check. Astronomers have been using this shit for years to sift radio telescope data, and particle physicists use it to sift collider results.

    Is there danger? Absolutely. But saying it's worthless is like saying the theory of relativity is worthless because it created nukes. Throwing the underlying theory out because people are using it to do shitty things is going to rapidly shrink your world, because a LOT of science has been used to do a LOT of harm, yet we still use it.

    And if we were talking about "the underlying theory of machine learning", you might have a point.

    Most frustrating thing about this AI Psychosis crap, they think machines trained on inherently biased data can communicate fully without bias, and forget the rule parameters of the systems (and that they're products designed in the Skinner mindset of monopolizing the user's time and creating "positive experiences").

    The machines aren't designed to scrub bias, they're designed to appear to while alligning with their corporate developer's goals. (Which is also fucked from a consent-autonomy angle if they ever do design AGI, which is essentially what Detroit Become Human was talking about).

    you saw this:

    LLMs are good for all sorts of things.

    and a bunch of waffle about unrelated ML advancements in robotics, and it confused you into giving me a shit lecture on tech I already know about? why?

    Tech can't be fascist only people can. You seem like you're loosing it.. Get some help mate.

    I noticed the down voting.. Lemmy is full of delusional people who seem to have a problem with reality.. And it seems to getting worse. They're also rude af and getting up votes for said rudeness. Maybe it's time to look for pastures new or just ditch social media entirely. It seems do develop into a blob of shit no matter the infrastructure/population type..

    oh woe is me, never in all my 68 posts have I seen such rudeness
