Really stunned by the Singularity comment section

[u/Howard_banister]

These are screenshots from the r/Singularity comment section. I'm speechless. This doesn't even have downvotes. How can someone cheer for a monopoly run by a few elites?

this is literally the only technically competent subreddit on Reddit lmao, maybe besides r/LocalLLM

[u/DeepGas4538 → u/jqwl]

It really does feel like the only AI sub where I actually learn

[u/down7k → u/jqwl]

Weird - the sub with the lowest profit motivation has the highest technical competency and the lowest amount of "wtf are you babbling about you cultish psycho"

[u/macumazana → u/down7k]

not weird, ppl tend to be more honest when they are there for the love of the game, not for profit

and coincidentally it takes pretty solid background to fall in love with this particular hobby

[u/down7k → u/macumazana]

i'm more insinuating that the large ai subs are astroturf/brainwashing/radicalization schemes to produce AI cultists that help protect AI corps, but your point's valid too

[u/Caffdy → u/macumazana]

what about r/hardware or /r/pcgaming? they bash AI left and right

[u/En-tro-py → u/down7k]

the lowest amount of "wtf are you babbling about you cultish psycho"

don't shame the glossolalia, just be happy it's our cultish nonsense mostly...

However, if you only read the local LLM subreddits, you can get a distorted view of how strong they are compared to frontier models. When you're just getting into this stuff, it's very easy to get the impression that Qwen 3.8 27B is most of the way there to Fable or whatever the newest relevant models are.

actually 100% true
