That, coupled with the impending knowledge collapse that #AI is creating & that almost nobody (save for folks active in that space) is talking about, is creating a turning point (read: an absolute clusterf*ck) in terms of how we do work, how we engage, and how we treat knowledge.

And I don't think society on the whole is ready to deal with those effects.

Pocket TTS proves you don't need a GPU for high-quality text-to-speech. 100M parameters, CPU-only, 200ms latency, voice cloning included. The first local TTS that doesn't compromise.

“Is this the future we want after years, decades of study and practice improving our coding skills? I understand that ‘the genie is out of the bottle’ and there’s no way it’s coming back, but the environment that is being shaped up is just not sustainable in the long term! With less people willing to share open source and less people learning in public (see the decline in Stack Overflow), soon there will be no more ‘free lunch’ for LLMs to get trained, and the overall quality and security of AI-generated code tends to get much worse.” #AI

Some genius made his AI remind him to get milk in the morning and it used up his $20 account balance overnight because it kept checking if it was morning every 30 minutes. Lmao. “AI”

"For years, I opposed Universal Basic Income, firmly and reflexively.

"That position no longer survives contact with reality.

"The most dangerous response is to pretend this is a liberal argument, detached from objective reality. It is not. The social consequences of mass displacement... spread. They destabilize everything conservatives claim to want to conserve."

The US is headed for mass unemployment, and no one is prepared

Mostly done with moving from Firefox to @librewolf as my daily driver.

Screw Mozilla's "AI" bullshit.

[About AI assisted coding] All of this is a statistical sifting – using context mapped to code snippets to filter from the set of all possible programs down to the one we need. There isn’t enough time and energy to do this even for a simple application, so we use pattern matching in the embedding to reduce the search space. That’s all that’s happening, when you take away magical AGI mysticism.
