the way that they’re able to take these crazy anti-privacy measures without public support is making me such a doomer

i wouldn’t judge someone for this. there just aren’t a lot of options 😔

Not to be a jerk, but its = possessive, it’s = it is. If your phone is doing it, if you correct it a few times, it’ll usually fix it :D

I think we mostly just agree then. I’m not sure if you misread what I was saying, but I have specifically said twice now that it’s not harmless, so:

So saying all it does is scale that up is not an argument against it’s threat whatsoever.

I haven’t made that argument.

The compounding factor is the ability to instantaneously cross analyze devices and software with a data base of known vulnerabilities. Do you know what a zero day exploit is?

Yeah, this isn’t nothing either. LLMs have also killed some people, which is terrible, too. These are things that are already happening, though, not getting worse.

I just don’t think it’s going to change our economy on the scale you seem to think it will because there isn’t any evidence of that yet, and “but it could improve” isn’t a strong enough case to overcome my skepticism. I think LLMs are hitting a wall. That doesn’t mean they WON’T get much better, just that there isn’t any evidence right now that they are going to. The current thought process is just “throw more data at it!!” and we’re hitting diminishing returns and running out of data anyway.

Your analogy with running only holds water if you’re an authority on the subject and not a layman operating on conjecture.

I’m not sure what YOUR credentials are, but it’s weird to imply that for some reason I need to be an expert to continue this conversation, but you don’t need to be? I hate having these kinds of weird interactions over reddit, where one guy is shouting at me that he can see the future and I should believe him over drawing my own conclusions for reasons™, so I’m definitely not going to have them here. If that wasn’t your intention, sorry for the misunderstanding, but yeah, have a good day.

My abilities aren’t static, either, but if I claimed that in a couple of years I’m going to be outrunning Sha’Carri Richardson, it would make sense for you to expect some evidence from me beyond just “I’m full of potential though!” before you really believed me.

If used correctly it can allow 1 person to affect cyber attacks on a scale that would previously require entire teams of human hackers.

Right, it’s doing spam. You can spam 1 gazillion people with phishing emails so much more effectively now. Like I said, that’s not harmless.

I haven’t seen much evidence that it’s capable of much more than producing spam. I mean, that’s not harmless either, but yeah.

My hope is that the market crashes and there are SO MANY used chips out there that they can’t sell more

This won’t happen but I would so love it if Nvdia was really brought to its knees and utterly dissolved. they so deserve it.

Worse how?

Please pop the bubble already I’m so tired of the insanity

Nailed it !!!

Your user name made that much, much better

It’s a night and day difference from reddit. I hope it lasts forever!

Same, and additionally, no one so far has been randomly extremely misogynist toward me either. I can mostly say completely uncontroversial things like “women fought for their right to vote in the early 1900s” without getting 30 bad faith and whataboutisms in my replies. It’s sooo nice.

well I’ve been convinced

Rip, lol

Everyone is a really, really big target

I will always upvote a dig at apple fans 🤭

That’s a great idea. They can always choose to totally ignore it if it ever becomes inconvenient like the Epstein files.

Oh no, that’s a more widespread problem then

don’t laugh but I am one of the 5 people on earth who bought a zune and I’d totally like to have one again sometimes, but I could also put the music on my phone soooo i donno if it’s worth it!
